Oh! Thanks!

No. Put the Genie back in the bottle. We need air traffic control for this shit. Or we just gave to shut down all the PHP and NodeJs servers. (This is sarcasm…mostly.)

Allowing private corporations to have the ability to block what is seen on the internet seems to us to be a dangerous and infinitely deep problem.

Is a great quote, and gets to the heart of the issue.

But the French authorities are idiots. So there’s no win to be had, here.

Maybe deep packet inspection to drop any traffic that happens to be in the French langauge.

There are more important reasons geoIP blocking will not work. We already prevailed in a similar legal case in Germany in 2021-2023 in which we learned an important lesson: we tried to use geoIP blocking as a “hack” in a similar circumstance at the start of the legal proceedings, allowing us to continue services in Germany until the case concluded. The plaintiff (Sony Music Entertainment GmbH) then used a VPN to access the blocked content from Germany in circumvention of the geoIP blocking. The court agreed with Sony in their assertions of noncompliance, and we were fined for contempt of court.

A very “fuck you” to Sony, once again, as well.

We could start a buy/sell/swap space using existing Lemmy technology, if we left the messy details for users to figure out for themselves.

Messy details add up quick, though. Payments, currencies, mailing addresses, reputation, conflict resolution, returns, scammers and spam.

But “Craigs List” solved very little of that on day one, and went on to be pretty successful.

So it’s possible. happening now, I’ve just learned. Neat!. https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/buyselltrade

(Edit: Added link to the surreal thing. Thanks!) (Edit 2: I swallowed the onion whole. Mostly jokes, there, I think. I’m gonna leave the link anyway.)

Oh shit! No dip!?

I always thought it would be…them. Exaclty them.

I plan to operate on expired certificates for two to four years, forcing all three of my users to click past a terrible warning.

Then I will automate my six day certificate rotation with Ansible (officially), but maybe actually with a stupid bash script in CRON (unofficially).

The real value is in the agility needed to update certs every six days.

Six days is still too long to leave a compromised key in play, but anyone who can rotate their keys every six days can probably also rotate their keys quite quickly if there’s a comprise.

It’s fair game after getting legally married, though.

They probably live much longer.

But then that’s more years of not eating and drinking to excess…so I can see it both ways.

I was taught how to eat in school, from a food pyriamid modified by producers of breads, dairy and sugar. :(

Excellent. Can “brings up love of trains in an unrelated conversation” have a separate space from “the world would be a utopia without cars”?

It’s basically the same, but I really like trains and wanted an excuse to mention them.

Sub-thread of a conversation of something unrelated becomes an open source software recommendations mini thread.

Everybody says the data isn’t retained. It’s very stylish, today, to claim to delete unused data, at least until it get breached

Free markets hurt capitalists.

Fucking communists and their free markets and open competition! None of that for us, please.

(Poe’s law: This is meant to be taken as absurdist humor.)

Yes, it’s the people who put in decades of hard work, not the cocaine snorting golden parachute executives, costing US auto makers their chance to compete. That might be it.

Edit: If only there were some way for citizens united to do something to help those poor executives.

We’re still quoting this fucker after his Epstein emails?
