Splendid! Let the flames cleanse all!

It isn’t a magic solution, no, but you have a lot more control than crummy layer 3 firewall rules and endless lists.

The big players have far more data about what bad looks like. Either we can play whack a mole with outdated tools and techniques or get smart and learn to use what is available.

Self hosting doesn’t mean we go backward in terms of the sophistication and difficulty, it means embracing modern solutions.

In the dinosaur days, we had primitive tools, but so did the attackers. We cannot hope to self host with any measure of security if we bring piss to a shitfight.

Get a WAF. Sophos firewall is free if you want to diy. If not, use cloudflare.

Opening ports, logging, monitoring, nailing up allow listed IP addresses and dicking around with fail2ban is such a timesuck. None of that crap will stop something from exploiting a vulnerability.

Some things are worth farming out to a 3rd party. Plus, you can just point your DNS entry over and be mostly done. No more dynamic IP bs.

I do tend to get off topic.

I’m very well aware, but the apple folks tend to be a LOT more dogmatic and vocal. When people talk shit about android, nobody really cares. Do it to apple? Jfc.

I am pointing this out because the current mess will never change for the better until apple users stop supporting apple. No, you dont have a lot of choices, but stop signaling support for them. Get mad and demand better. Be vocal about THAT.

Well, companies are using ai to delete our resumes so I’m all for blasting them with fully automated ai submissions.

Just keep submitting and iterating, eventually one will get through.

In the end, we are battling HR on our turf. If we can’t beat these clowns, we deserve to be jobless.

All the apple fans out down voting today…

FYI this may not be the time to take allegiance with them if you at all understand what is going on.

I didn’t think that this needed to be said, but I suppose it does.

IT IS NOT OK TO FUCK CHILDREN,PULL YOUR DICK OUT AND DO STUFF TO THEM WITH IT OR MAKE THEM DO STUFF WITH YOUR DICK. IT IS NOT OK TO LURE KIDS IN WITH THE END GOAL OF FUCKING OR MOLESTING THEM. THIS IS VERY BAD AND YOU SHOULD NEVER DO IT. RICH WHITE PEOPLE, THIS IS MAINLY FOR YOU.

There, I hope that helps.

So are we at the part where things need to be on-fire?

I do adore the flames, they speak to me.

I GET THIS

Not to defend it, but the first time I encountered the term was when BlackBerry released their Playbook tablet. It ran their bbos10 and they created an android emulator so you could run some android apps. The process of installing the apk into the emulator was called sideloading.

I miss BlackBerry is all I really wanted to say.

I wonder what the resonant frequency of those mics could be? Wonder how loud it would have to be to ruin a mic?

Toads are a lot smaller after they pee. I’m thinking theyre about 40% pee at any time? Maybe they just little out a little here and there but they stay strategically topped up.

Do they hold pee just in case a person picks them up? What other reason do they hold all that pee? Is it if something tries to eat them they pee as a defense mechanism? I don’t assume toad pee would taste good. Seems like a dog would know. Maybe I can ask a dog.

If you hold a toad with their butt hanging out a little they usually won’t pee on you. If they do, it just shoots onto the ground.

Ooh I picked up a nice fat toad I just found in the yard, but it peed on me so I took it around to the front yard and set it loose!

Wait, what were we talking about?

If we can’t have some fun flinging poo, what is the point of being here?

OK so I ate the cookie and now I don’t know what to do.

Mayhaps I shall go and seek out the wisdom of a SECOND cookie.

I have been very pleased recently because I started shit in a sub. The post was all about some guy who stacked a bunch of modems to download a file at half a megabit per second (your home internet is probably 1000x that speed).

I said it was a stupid and pointless waste of time. Nobody agreed and that little seed has produced a LOT of sweet delicious argument fruit. Funny what’ll get people’s goat. I didn’t start out with a battle in mind but I’m feeling pretty smug about the whole thing.

Now I get trolling.

A+ for Emmet Otter reference.
