- Don’t put it on a network, but also don’t allow it to reach an untrusted network.
- > I found out that TP-Link have their entire firmware repository in an open S3 bucket.
Nobody tell them about Linux!
- HN tell me people want adverts, they are for my benefit so I can benefit from them.
- Copyright violation for profit by individuals can be 10 Years in prison in the U.K.
That’s 10 years of no income.
Seems reasonable for a fine of 10 years global revenue for a company.
- Seniors should be the ones embarrassed for giving anyone, let alone a new junior, such level of access
- Archive.org tells me I was using SSI in Jan 1997. I didn’t really understand what I was doing, but including the footer and a visitor counter via an exec one which I presumably copied from somewhere else. At the time I was still on windows and had no real concept of a program being executed as a cgi or ssi, it was all “copy this from Matt’s script archive to your cgi-bin directory”
My shared hosting from claranet supported ssi via a .htaccess configuration.
Technically php was around at that point, but I don’t think it became popular until php3 - certainly my hosting provider didn’t support it until then.
- > The (proposed) UK VPN ban that was recently discussed here have a definition on what exactly is a "VPN" for the purposes of the ban (basically "VPNs generally advertised to normal consumers")
It’s not taking about IPsec tunnels between networkers, or a connection back to your home. It’s talking about surfshark
- They mandate you use Nordvpn? Or surf shark?
I doubt that.
- Directions suggest an average speed over 500 mph. Not bad for driving.
- Email certainly isn’t monopolised! I can think of at least 3 mainstream search engines - although all advert driven
- Quite a few. Hence people who pay for Netflix, YouTube, etc.
Certainly I don’t have adverts when I check my email, does Hotmail etc do adverts now? I’m sure they didn’t back in the early 00s.
- Martin Lewis has struggled with scammers pretending to be him (a trusted consumer champion in the U.K.) for over 20 years. American platforms refuse to do anything to stop it though.
That’s not just advert, it’s fraud - fraud people like Zuck and Musk make a fortune from.
- I see some adverts on YouTube on channels I watch, I just jump ahead (“commonly skipped section” feature). Some I actually enjoy and don’t jump over (map men ones are typically good).
I don’t recognise this “wait 5 seconds” bit.
- Great. So set your agent to “show me adverts” and let the rest of use set our agents to “don’t show me adverts”.
- In the 90s I would spend my money buying a magazine called computer shopper when to wanted to shop for computer parts.
That’s opt in advertising.
But you as the advertiser is not happy with that
- If advertising was for my benefit it would be optional.
- And once again simple self hosted services remain up.
- Farage evaded stamp duty by abusing loopholes in it.
I was going to see it replaced by a 1% annual tax, but that would seemingly be too hard.
- It’s telling the outrage over the stamp duty cockup of Rayner (which had it been sold a couple of weeks later wouldn’t have been a problem), and near silence of the stamp duty evasion of Farage.
Farage’s mate - the leader of Reform Wales, was literally thrown in jail for 10 Years after he admitted she was a Russian agent. Barely anything in the media about it.
Due to the way FPTP works though it’s likely Farage will get a majority in 29 off less than 30% of the vote.
In IPv6 they likely will auto configure onto a public ip address which may not have a stateful firewall.
