@fesshole@mastodon.social so next time she gets on a train, she'll just have a conversation out loud, or watch a video, or whatever, and piss everyone off in the carriage. And it'll be your fault, and everyone should hate you.

@jwz@mastodon.social sorry, I still disagree that the question as originally framed on Mastodon was "very specific". "Specific" would have included that you know Cloudfront is an answer but you can't because this, and you don't want to do anything that takes TLS termination out of your control, and you definitely do need this to be "self-maintaining" instead of managing entries in Security Groups, and you're not interested in Cloudflare because it's not an AWS solution, etc. Way too much nuance for a toot.

@CppGuy@infosec.space @jackeric@beige.party @fesshole@mastodon.social Yip. I've had run-ins with both Parking Eye (who just....stopped corresponding) and VCS (who actually bothered to take me to court and lost on the grounds of not knowing their own paperwork and bringing an evidence pack full of pictures of a completely different car/location). It's my biggest peeve when people go "it's a private invoice, just ignore it" because at least some of these companies are litigious and I've got a court verdict to prove it.

@CppGuy@infosec.space @jackeric@beige.party @fesshole@mastodon.social I have no idea what it would have cost. They filed their stuff late (which I grassed to the judge) and brought the wrong evidence (ditto) so they were told straight up that they wouldn't be able to claim their costs from me even if they won. But the paperwork they did post wasn't PoFA-compliant so it was thrown out. For some reason their representative didn't fancy a chat afterwards 🤷🏻‍♂️ and I had somewhere more important to be so I just cut and run as soon as possible.

@jwz@mastodon.social I get that, but this question was not actually that specific about your use case and your clarifications were "I want an AWS answer". The AWS answers are Cloudfront (hard no for you), WAF (needs ALB, which means Amazon terminate TLS for you, hard no for you), Security Groups (hard to manage). Your self-imposed parameters about how you specifically want to use AWS and break from "the norm" doesn't leave anything AWS-native on the table, really, so there are no answers.

@mattsheffield@mastodon.social I understand the people who have changed from Leave to Rejoin. I understand the people who are stubbornly sticking with their decision to be out. I understand those who didn't have the opportunity and are now able to express their desire to be out. But who on the original Remain side is looking at how things have gone for the last 10 years and said "yes, this is all great actually, more of this please"? Nuts.

@jackeric@beige.party @fesshole@mastodon.social if only it was the 1990s. Nowadays it's just an automatic letter in the post with an attempted invoice for a place you may have left on time, or potentially never even been. Private parking companies are all scummy chancing cunts and should never have been allowed to form, nor legitimised by the DVLA and the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012.

@WiteWulf@cyberplace.social @greem@cyberplace.social @DJDarren@mendeddrum.org if I remember correct it works great for personal OneDrive for consumers, but not with corp OneDrive which is more like three Sharepoints in a OneDrive trench coat

@jwz@mastodon.social again, fair. But (IMO at least) people aren't behaving like that out of malice or bad faith, they're behaving because they see an X/Y problem where you've explained the solution you want rather than the problem you're solving, and since the solution you want doesn't exist they should offer potential solutions that do. For me at least it's a hangover from my early days in tech support where I was expected to find the right answer OR do whatever BS the users dreamed. Because "no" won't fly.

@Ninji@wuffs.org "consumers aren't buying, based on AI" The comma might be tiny, but it's also powerful, and can invert the meaning of a sentence so easily.

@anon_opin@mastodon.social with special weak adhesive so when everyone starts crossing the floor you can peel them off and put them on the correct team without destroying the book

@jwz@mastodon.social OK, I phrased that badly. But people are trying to answer in the AWS way of e.g. "add Cloudfront", and now you appear to be getting frustrated because you already know you don't want to use Cloudfront, for valid reasons. All I'm trying to say is that if people know those constraints you might get a better quality of answer here. Although I still don't think it exists in the way you'd like it to because I still don't think this is really an AWS question with those contraints.

@jwz@mastodon.social @randomwizard@social.vivaldi.net I'm not convinced there are any AWS answers, since it doesn't really sound like you're using any AWS features? What you appear to have is a bog standard VPS that happens to be running on an AWS hypervisor. In which case your options are limited to what you would use on any other VPS, effectively iptables? Since the goalposts keep moving, maybe you could expand your blog post with all your other constraints too?

@256 they’re talking about IBM hard drives, so all high security facilities do. There was no faster way to yeet 75GB of data into oblivion than store it on one of those from that period. DBAN? Ain’t nobody got time for that, just let your IBM Deathstar render it inaccessible in an instant. Yes, I’m bitter, what of it? Younger me did not give backups the respect they deserve.

@WiteWulf thankfully mine has a while to recover, so I can vote for the right thing now and give it up to ~25 years to come good again. Hopefully.

@trisweb I was always mirror.ac.uk to make sure I was getting as much of JANET's bandwidth as feasibly possible.

@Ragashingo @dalias that's what they're taking away, as I understand it. So I think it's the case _now_, it will shortly _not_ be the case. So if you're lucky, you can now get the same thing from a third-party seller. If you're mid-lucky, you can get something passing itself off as the same listing from a third-party scammer. If you're unlucky, your address gets leaked to a third-party stalker. Clearly I wasn't the only person who read that mail this morning and thought "oh no".

@aceberg@mastodon.social @nixCraft@mastodon.social Codeberg has them. Actions is not feature complete, but Pages is pretty good https://codeberg.page

@adisonverlice@tweesecake.social @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social the UK Government are indeed arguing that ADP at least enables crime, if not actually commits it. I believe they’ve dropped their attempts to get Apple to backdoor it for now, but there’s still 3.5 years of this Parliament left, I think it’ll come back.

@aceberg@mastodon.social @nixCraft@mastodon.social Actions is based on nektos/act I think so the limitations are documented over there, I’ve found it translates pretty well from my work experience of GitHub Actions though

@anon_opin@mastodon.social I’m just a regular shitlord, but just letting you know in case you want to block me anyway.
