   Could they have added some swap?

   Sounds like something that could be weaponized. Order a bunch of 'gifts' to be shipped to a target via UPS/FedEx or whichever vendor helpfully pays the tarrifs for you. Then your victim has to fight collections or pay up.

   Its a cool idea, just beware. Saw some dead kids and some NSFW among the otherwise interesting content.

   Lighten up. People spend their time doing lots of things they enjoy regardless of the value others place on their efforts. Instead of projecting embarrassment, go save the world if that makes you happy.

   Googlebot has no problem identifying itself because Google knows that you want it to index your site if you want visitors. It doesn't identify itself to give you the option to block it. It identifies itself so you don't.

   Yes, the client wanted the server to deliver content it had intended for a different client, regardless of what the service operator wanted, so it lied using its user agent. Exact same thing we are talking about. The difference is that people don't want companies to profit off of their content. That's fair. In this case, they should maybe consider some form of real authentication, or if the bot is abusive, some kind of rate limiting control.

   Browser user agents have a history of being lies from the earliest days of usage. Official browsers lied about what they were- and still do.

   I think they're more caused by rushed deadlines, poor practices, and/or bad QA. Some folks just don't get it either and training doesn't help.

   I don't think that it's human work this would target, but instead work in shared human spaces.

    Is it morally wrong to fast forward ads on your TV or mute the volume?

    This is a simple word search game I tossed together a while ago that some friends and family still are playing. Select words by picking the first and last letter of the word.

    You can clear all words without swapping any letters.

    I think you're partially right. The development of good accessibility features require what any other feature would require- time. Since there aren't enough skilled people willing to give their time to make a good dent in the issue, the only solution left is to pay people for their efforts, sadly.

    Off topic, but almost all of your recent comments feel AI generated to me. Maybe I'm reading into things, but the structure looks AI, lots of bangs and a whole lot of em dashes. They also don't match the style of your previous comments, last in 2022.

    > The security through obscurity (non-standard port, no root) are both kinda silly but why not

    I think these are decent controls when layered with others. The effectiveness differs depending on your threat models, of course, but at the very least it helps reduce the noise seen from most automated scans reducing the effort involved in monitoring your assets.

    Control. You have to have a good inventory to apply and audit controls.

    Both can be an issue if you find you can't do without the drinks.

    I have heard of using drinking socially as a justification for drinking excessively. I've never heard someone justify excessive swimming. One is a more common problem.

    I also read it as carrying a flag (applied by others) to highlight that it needs to be reviewed or hidden.

    This is true. A backup that can't be restored is worthless.

    I don't think the article is saying that the prosecutor is 25 years old. It's saying that he has 25 years of experience as a prosecutor.

    Maybe. Killing or stealing for a reason doesn't make the action morally good, just less morally bad than the outcome it was intended to prevent. I've never heard the first parenting example.

    My state provides rainwater collection guidance in the plumbing code. We also have wells. I use a well.

    I thought about renting out property for passive income, but after speaking with a friend locally about issues hes had, changed my mind. Not worth the hassle. In the one case, the tenant stopped paying their power bill and the power company cut them off. The tenant proceeded to tear down the inside of the house and burn it for heat. The kitchen island and kitchen cabinet fronts were burned, for instance. In another instance, when cleaning out a property, he found a miscarried fetus left behind in one of the toilets. Both tenants were also evicted for not paying their rent. So yeah, not worth it.

    No judgment, honestly wondering. If you didn't want that interaction, why'd you answer the follow up questions? Were you just curious?
