@bagder I really like curl and have used it extensively over the years in various projects. This installation method has been a cancer on tech for like 15 years now.

@bagder@mastodon.social Hot curl summer was right there!

@mttaggart I think it's because a lot of people know and just accept @cloudflare protects botters and scammers of all kinds. Kind of a mob style service tho if you ask me.

@Viss @catsalad @cR0w Sneakernet is underrated. Lotus notes is also underrated here on Earth but I hear is quite well reviewed in hell.

@bitbraindev@mastodon.gamedev.place @no_brainer@sueden.social @alice@lgbtqia.space @evan@cosocial.ca The alternatives to relying on the honour system don't reduce to "do nothing". There aren't only two options. Advocating for a "trust us to be well behaved bro" model amidst the largest breakdown of that exact thing in web standards is, to put this politely, out of touch. Naming and shaming, defederating the scumbags, etc., are all valid ways of dealing with these problems. Other more aggressive approaches unfortunately lead to closed off communities, which are counter to what many people believe the internet should be.

@h3mmy@lgbtqia.space @alice@lgbtqia.space Seems to be attempting to solve the "problem" of not enough corporate spying on the fediverse.

@0xabad1dea Not correct, but also... Not incorrect?

@susankayequinn @JessTheUnstill @InkySchwartz As you note, this is highly location dependent. I generally agree people are unaware of how widespread charging infrastructure is though.

@etchedpixels @nikthechampiongr @mxk @Frank_Juston @raymierussell Air Canada was found to be bound by the information a chatbot gave out regarding bereavement flight discounts, even though it was wildly wrong. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/air-canada-chatbot-lawsuit-1.7116416 Ostensibly your website is the source of truth and if your chatbot gives out valid ridiculous discount codes (or really any incorrect information) that shouldn't be on the customers but rather your inept software deployment.

@bitbraindev@mastodon.gamedev.place @no_brainer@sueden.social @alice@lgbtqia.space @evan@cosocial.ca See broader website hosting for why the honour system is no way to develop web standards.

@alice 1870s: steam-powered 1970s: 2-stroke engine 2070s: fusion?

@Canadian_Eh It also has the distinction of having the largest island in a lake on an island in a lake in the world (recursion intended), and it's called Treasure Island.

@ZenHeathen@beige.party @alice@lgbtqia.space Man this reminded me of a story I was told by someone after delivering an OSINT basics talk: the person told me that they had school projects in elementary school that were like "take a bunch of photos of your family and pets and house and make a little website for your family." These were then of course posted at live URLs for everyone to see. There's an astounding number of reasons to want to not plaster your kid's face everywhere you're able, and it really sucks that people try to insist on stuff like that when kids are still just learning how the world works, let alone figuring out who they are.

@Viss feels more like Aliens than Star Wars to me.

@jaark @GossiTheDog Maybe better than writing: "So-called Kevin so-called Beaumont"

@wohali Fedi in a nutshell?

@cwg1231 @jellyfin Deleting it outright with no response is probably the worst approach. At the very least own it and give a reply you know people won't like. Deleting it isn't gonna work in 2026 lol

@IvanDSM@mastodon.social @RoganDawes@infosec.exchange @f4grx@chaos.social some of it is definitely LLM generated, like the header image. It's also light enough on details to be suspicious.

@robertpi@functional.cafe Reasons for canceling: [ ] I subscribed to the wrong plan. [X] It's too expensive. [X] I don't want to pay a subscription fee and still get ads. [X] 2026 isn't offering me what I expected.

@kkarhan @Jerry I'm aware, was mostly sarcasm about how no security was baked in in the first place. These solutions are all hacked onto systems that themselves are unreliable and require additional security features to begin to trust. Turtles all the way down, if you will.

@Klaxun@mastodon.social @RickiTarr@beige.party that just sounds like Yoda

@defcon@defcon.social "I'm gonna fuck with the tech bringing enjoyment to a room full of drunk hackers and anarchists" seems like quite the move.

@kkarhan @Jerry have domains that predate SPF, requirements unclear. :p

@shlee Hex Healing Hen. Were it a rooster I suppose it'd have been a Curse Curing Cock.

@hakfoo@mstdn.party @neilsardesai@mastodon.social Yep, this was very useful for spotting typos in a field you can't see the contents of. It could be done securely but I would've bet there were problems with it.

@georgetakei@universeodon.com Not only that, they're gonna actively bomb daycares.

@Possiblydrew@pnw.zone @catsalad@infosec.exchange I bet it's just labeled Engage.

@neurovagrant It's still a human, it's just shifted to the decision-making ones that mandate use of these systems.

@darkuncle @Viss Nah, the root cause is the decision to grant access to a box of randomness to do this kind of thing.

Docker-compose but it uses old-school .ini formats instead of yaml. #ITWishlist

@davidnjoku@mastodon.world I enjoyed that window of time where every Sony phone seemed to come with some variation of a "please pick up the phone" song, like this: https://www.zedge.net/ringtones/ae7f76d2-9c79-32c2-b64c-a0745dceec00 Or this: https://youtu.be/Rd8oeXX_vIc It must have slid out of fashion at some point, which is a shame.

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social FOMO marketing seems to be all there is anymore in tech. Sucks in the short to medium term.

@c_merriweather@social.linux.pizza @courtcan@mastodon.social @briankrebs@infosec.exchange @masek@infosec.exchange One of my favourite mods from long enough ago this thing could vote: https://youtu.be/NqbcfSqPnLA
