I’m kinda surprised this wasn’t the original announcement. I figured it would just move to a paid feature. Maybe the initial tweet (or whatever the fuck we call an X) was just to get attention.

I hate how “hack” is used for any kind of breach. This is 100% credential re-use or a shit password:

The attackers appear to be using leaked credentials or brute-forcing to attempt to take control of a large number of LinkedIn accounts.

And

For accounts that are appropriately protected by strong passwords and/or two-factor authentication, the multiple takeover attempts resulted in a temporary account lock imposed by the platform as a protection measure.

That’s not to say LinkedIn isn’t a steaming pile of garbage, but to say this is a “hack” is disingenuous.

And what, exactly, has he faced in terms of consequences for anything during his 77 years on this rock? There is pretty much zero chance he sees any jail time and he’s well aware of this. So what has he got to loose? Might as well stir up shit in prep for a Jan 6 v2 in 2025.

Former President & Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Sherrilyn Ifill, argued that a different defendant would be treated differently.

I’ll take “No shit Sherlock” for $500 Alex. It’s so fucking blatantly obvious how there are two different tiers of justice in the US. If you or me did that our asses would already be in jail.

At my previous job where I managed our Verizon account our rep was RELENTLESS at pushing this garbage. Every meeting we had with him was a fucking bluejeans link. And every time, without fail, one or more of us had audio or video issues. I don’t know how it ever made it out of QA/testing. It was such a garbage platform, good riddance.

Already did on Saturday! Took my wife and daughter as well and we all voted no!!

It also massively expands the pool of potential candidates. Even a large city say NYC is still VASTLY less people then say all of North America or even just the US. You don’t have to pigeon hole yourself to local candidates.

If they complain it doesn’t match their spec you can always allocate what they want but set a lower priority for the VM. Obviously, performance problems are then on you if there is an issue. That will at least appease the low-level support person that will just knee-jerk and blame the lack of required resources when you call for support on something unrelated.

Ghost in the Wires

Just simple old rsync. The nas at the far-end is an old QNAP I had lying around.

Local backup to my Synology NAS every night which is then replicated to another NAS at my folks house through a secure VPN tunnel. Pretty simple and easy to deploy.

I hope it does too! This seems like a great place for the community to thrive. That said, I don’t think I have it in me to mod again (at least not now). It’s been…hard to say the least. But yeah, we are sticking it out until the end! I posted a “give it up for day 14” meme on our Discord today, lol.

EDIT: Oh, and thank you for the kudos on the community! We really do appreciate it!!

Mod of /r/homeimprovement here. I don’t know that “keep” is the right word but we have built an amazing community over the years. The API changes rubbed us all the wrong way (as we all mod from third-party apps) but what really clinched it was the utter abhorrent treatment of us after we shut down. We are still shut down, and reddit continues to actively threaten UNPAID VOLUNTEERS. The free content and moderation is literally the only thing keeping reddit relevant. We are actively going to force reddit to replace us or backtrack. It will likely be the former, but at least we have made them work for it. It’s sad really…I love the community but I’m not going to continue to be free labor for a company that simply doesn’t give a single shit about us or their users.

It’s crazy how the right screams that Biden is extremely left while he’s center at BEST. Just shows how far they continue to shift right. I mean hell, some of them stopped watching Fox “news” because it became too “liberal” for their taste. That should tell you a whole lot.

Seriously, the graveyard is pretty extensive: https://killedbygoogle.com/

To be fair, I didn’t want Biden the first time either. He just happened to be not Trump. I’ll vote Biden again, but I’m not pleased those are my only (real) options. We really need ranked choice voting here in the US…

I believe this is the article you were going to link: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

I’m of the “old fart” variety that recalls the days of IRC and totally agree. Back even before forums those communities run off servers in peoples basements were a treasure trove of knowledge and community. I have very fond memory of making real connections with people there. As you pointed out, that simply doesn’t exist on an article with comments.

Mod of /r/homeimprovement here, that’s exactly what we are doing. We are staying dark and forcing them to replace us if that’s what they want to do at this point. We are at least going to make them work for it, lol.
