But I’ve never played smash. What does that mean? Oh! Oh.

I started playing with rust last week (just converting a couple of C# projects so far), and I’m going to say that once you understand that mutexes/rwlocks are wrappers around the actual data, it (to me at least) feels better.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s an absolute headache for anyone that’s acquired intermediate or better skill in one of the Cx languages. The paradigm shift is still hitting me hard. But this was one of the differences I actually think is an improvement in probably most use cases.

Instructions unclear, VPN’d into my own home network.

I have auto redirect to 443. But --nginx works fine. I think it overrides stuff for whatever the specific url used is.

There’s a certbot addon which uses nginx directly to renew the certificate (so you don’t need to stop the web server to renew). If you install the addon you just use the same certbot commands but with --nginx instead and it will perform the actions without interfering with web server operation.

You just then make sure the cron job to renew also includes --nginx and you’re done.

It makes sense that they issue short certificates, though. The sole verification is that you own the domain. If you sell/let the domain lapse and someone else takes it over, there’s only a limited time you would hold a valid certificate for it.

An array?

var turtles = new Turtle[] { new Turtle(), new Turtle() };

Don’t do this :P

That’s got to be extremely rare. Not much you can do in that case. But they will hit many problems with that approach.

I mean, while they can block most things, to give people a usable experience they’re going to allow http and https traffic through, and they can’t really proxy https because of the TLS layer.

So for universal chance of success, running openvpn tcp over port 443 is the most likely to get past this level of bad. I guess they could block suspicious traffic in the session before TLS is established (in order to block certain domains). OpenVPN does support traversing a proxy, but it might only work if you specify it. If their network sets a proxy via DHCP, maybe you could see that and work around it.

I did have fun working around an ex gf’s university network many years ago to get a VPN running over it. They were very, very serious about blocking non-standard services. A similar “through” the proxy method was the last resort they didn’t seem to bother trying to stop.

I mean I could have used the GDPR (still a thing in the UK, at least for now). But didn’t see it as worth it. It really wouldn’t be worth the risk selling data that was deleted from a GDPR request.

I don’t know that they’ll risk using the data from deleted posts/comments though anyway. Most comments and posts will be deleted for a reason (moderation, or otherwise mistakes) and as such, likely isn’t going to make the best training data really.

It’s far easier to just sell the live data and be done with it.

7 digit steam ID and only level 15. Clearly, my life took a wrong turn somewhere…

I think there were historically interoperability issues, and there used to be (my version of mbin is quite old), and maybe still are issues federating dislikes (which stems from the way they were seen in kbin, which straddles both thread based and mastadonesque sides of the fediverse). But overall there’s aren’t the larger federation issues there used to be.

Right now, the choice mainly comes down to the interface you prefer, and if you perhaps want a limited ability to work with mastadon type posts. Since you can follow mastadon users and see their posts within the mbin interface.

When I left reddit over the paid api, I left all my posts there.

But as soon as I heard about the plans re AI, I edited then deleted all content.

I see no reason why reddit should profit from my intellectual property without even consulting me about it.

Hmm, the only issue I had was because it was using the DoH (which I don’t have a local server for). Once I disabled that, it was fine.

Oh. Internal hosts, I just setup on my own DNS… No need for that. Printer, can’t say I’ve ever had a problem.

Yeah, I don’t really have a use at home for mDNS. None that I can think of, anyway. Pretty sure I was using it before MDNS was a thing.

They (the service that provides both web protection and logging) installs their own root certificate. Then creates certs for sites on demand, and it will route web traffic through their own proxy, yes.

It’s why I don’t do anything personal at all on the work laptop. I know they have logs of everything everyone does.

What if I told you, businesses routinely do this to their own machines in order to make a deliberate MitM attack to log what their employees do?

In this case, it’d be a really targetted attack to break into their locally hosted server, to steal the CA key, and also install a forced VPN/reroute in order to service up MitM attacks or similar. And to what end? Maybe if you’re a billionaire, I’d suggest not doing this. Otherwise, I’d wonder why you’d (as in the average user) be the target of someone that would need to spend a lot of time and money doing the reconnaissance needed to break in to do anything bad.

Sorry. I chose .local and I’m sticking to it.

I find anything with that coated plastic over time gets crappy. I still have an old X52 pro I’ve had for probably around 15 years now. In the end I just completely took off the flaking rubber style coating they put over it and it’s now shiny plastic and still going strong.

I also have a G502 that’s 6 years old. It has some worn areas where it’s actively held and on the buttons. I replaced the skates last year and have a spare set. Otherwise, still going strong.

Really not sure why I’d subscribe for something that lasts so long and isn’t THAT expensive to replace.
