Trump agrees with the last person he spoke with

Wd40 is a solvent.
It happens to lubricate and protect from water for a short time. But if you use it as a lube, you are gonna have a bad time.

Use wd40 to loosen something up, clean off old grease/oil/gunk, protect short term from flash rust etc.
Then actually wipe it down and lubricate it with a proper lube

Windows 10 is end-of-life soon, have you heard of Linux?

Presenting the 3rd option

[-] towerful@programming.dev 40 points 2 years ago

Holy shit.
That's some shit that contravenes every security briefing, every security best practice.
Then they go and spoof a legit government installation with their own bullshit?!
Fucking Hilary and her email servers. But like times 10. Legitimately compromising the US government communications.
Why is this lawsuits, why isn't this treason?!

Canada's mistake is responding to trump.
They should respond to America.
It's generally the media's mistake in their reporting.

If trump says something, treat that as America saying something.

Stop giving Americans/America leeway on this as if trump is some passing fad. That works the first time.
But after 2016 election, then 2020, and re-electing trump... That's America speaking.

Trump wants Canada, Panama Canal, Greenland and Gulf of Mexico?
No. America wants Canada, Panama Canal, Greenland and Gulf of Mexico.

The general public is used to trump headlines being a joke. They've had 4 years of buffoonery & disappointment, and 4 years of court buffoonery & disappointing headlines. The next 4 years of trump explicitly stating what America is going to do is going according to the last 8 years of republican R&D is going to be dismissed before its too late.

Saying "America states..." and "America intends to..." might wake some Americans up to what is actually happening

Bitwarden is cheap enough, and I trust them as a company enough that I have no interest in self hosting vaultwarden.

However, all these hoops you have had to jump through are excellent learning experiences that are a benefit to apply to more of your self hosted setup.

Reverse proxies are the backbone of hosting and services these days.
Learning how to inspect docker containers, source code, config files and documentation to find where critical files are stored is extremely useful.
Learning how to set up more useful/granular backups beyond a basic VM snapshot in proxmox can be applied to any install anywhere.

The most annoying thing about a lot of these is that tutorials are "minimal viable setup" sorta things.
Like "now you have it setup, make sure you tune it for production" and it just ends.
And finding other tutorials that talk about the next step, to get things production ready, often reference out dated versions, or have different core setups so doesn't quite apply.

I understand your frustrations.

Can't wait for the pandemic of plastic eating fungus infecting the human race and living on the micro plastic in our testicles.
Or, like, all medical tools becoming impossible to package and ship cause of this fungus.

This is one of those strange terms where "recalling" is somehow the official term for a software update that can be sent over the air and applied remotely.
Not physically recalled

[-] towerful@programming.dev 40 points 3 years ago

Yup.
Similar to the "equal airtime" or "show both sides" when it comes to science.
It puts unscientific opinions alongside scientific theory as if they are equal.

The only thing I can say in favour of the BBC is that it seems like the majority of people feel it's coverage is favourable to "the other side".
So, while we may be saying "BBC is clearly biased" because of things like this, I guarantee there are people that we don't agree with saying exactly the same about other topics.
So the situation is probably not as bad as it seems.

It does seem the majority of these "scandals" are about the BBC acting in favour of the Westminster UK government. But maybe that just the ones I actually see.

Welp, good luck.
GDPR can be painful for developers, but it is excellent for people.
I hope your government and laws are for the people and by the people (or whatever the phrasing is).
