About working conditions in Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) also known as scamming centers?

I already commented on this twice here, but here it goes again: I self-host Immich with Caddy as TLS terminator, and it's far from obvious. They all run on a small N150 PC in my cl…

IT broadly speaking is ~4.5% of the workforce in the US, 5% in the EU, last time I checked.

Encrypted channels as the solution to people's problems is exactly what Poul-Henning Kemp warned against in his last Bikeshed: https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3818307

I think we should have gone the legal route, forbidding JS injection in pasing HTML by carriers by e. g. conditioning their liability to the modification of data. That is, if they …

We are talking about hobbyists here.

No, HTTP is not enough, I submitted a couple HTTP-only links to HN lately, they got flagged within half an hour, even HN crowd can not open HTTP links anymore ;-)

I posted this in a sibling thread, but it's also appropriate here. I self-host Immich with Caddy, and it's complex, really. Caddy runs in podman compose next to Immich, there are f…

Heh... I self-host Immich with Caddy, and it's more complex, really. Caddy runs in podman, there are firewall rules to allow traffic in and out and proper dependencies in systemd u…

Look at this from the Digital Sovereignty angle. AFAU Let's Encrypt gets its money from Google. There are other minor providers of similar services over the ACME protocol, but this…

I think the author missed the root cause, which is the demise of (unencrypted) HTTP/1.1 connections.

This is only tangentially related, but I have a love-hate relationship with Immich. Love for everything, but loads of hate for the bug-o-feature that disallows sharing of albums if…

I remember the time when roundabouts were round in Google Maps.

Just turn it upside down /s

I tried googling for the original picture, but it's nowhere to be found. Pity that such precious cultural artefacts are lost while poo sculptures are idolized.

Yes, did it for others and for my own business once, but this field is dead in EU. Everyone and their friend gave up on owning the email infra

Iowa asks? Why don't they just open a criminal investigation related to the hacking of HuggingFace?

Says someone on Hacker News, a website that only tangentially about sharing links.

So WebAuthn leaks real IPs, who would have thought!

Depends on the POV, but show me a country that gives full voting rights to immigrants. At best, they can vote in local elections in a few EU countries. P.S. Ok, Ok. Belgium is uniq…

In-between jobs you are stressed to find the next job, that's not a good background for vacation.

Hah! Reading about the way democracy was done in Athens, both are at 0. In Athens, they had some 5000 people gathering together to vote every week on various matters out of the tot…

> our security policy required us Nope, someone should have requested that from you directly or indirectly, but you should not have done the pointless job if you have a pointy one …
