Comment "Grab 'em by the pussy"? (Score 2) 23

Ah, so they won't be able to ID a little girl by her face but sexual assault is still OK with them?

These people are sick in the head.

The problem of airplane terrorism was solved over a field in Shanksville PA ninety minutes after a plane hit the North Tower.

We'll have to take back the Fourth Amendment if we want it - it won't be returned.

You'll stop when you get less value from it than the fee is worth.

It sounds like they're lazily destroying their value proposition but Subjective Value Theory says that set point will be different than everybody else.

It's still stupid of them to remove features for paying customers. Probably they are losing devs or hiring unqualified people for non-merit reasons. Their shareholders should be pissed.

FWIW when I was a teen I probably spent $100 a months (in 2024 dollars) on music so I can see why so many people subscribe.

I still own my CD's but only ever listen to the mp3 rips.

I had some problem with a gitlab-ce install some months back where an update failed to install and then new updates filled the disk with the apt cache on it.

I used their docs to clear the problem and get current but there was nothing inherently wrong, just an upgrade error.

This may have preceded the security patch; if it's a common problem people who thought they were OK with automatic updates might be in for quite a surprise.

I am glad gitlab exists but goodness it's up to about 20GB for a half dozen very small text-only repos.

Before Rockefeller purchased Congress and Standard Oil was made a permanent corporation, they only existed for limited times and for public purposes.

It would be crazy to create an unaccountable immortal entity, they knew, from the mercantalist Chartered companies of the King.

It's the National emergency information system.

For when cell goes down (again) or in a scenario where nrad hardened comms become necessary.

Assuming the existience of a nation state this is the least dumb car mandate.

That thing that kills starters and engines at stoplights is the opposite.

Your ISP is not my ISP. But if you forward ports, why? Can you just jit your home server via HTTPS directly, or do you forward a port to it for external access?

My service, Cox, blocks ports 80,443, 25, 143, 135, 136-139, 445, 1433, 1434, 1900. They do not wish to support customer-operated email and web servers,
for what should be obvious reasons, nor access to well-known services that are exploited often, such as MS-SQL and NetBIOS/SMB, similarly. I can live with that. BUT - my fixed wireless alternatives, such as Verizon and T-Mobile, do not permit any port forwarding AFAIK. So those are out, I want SSH for instance, on random ports, and yes those hosts are hardened as well as a VPS could hope to be.

I could run my own gateway, but here COx would still block the well-known ports. Feh. I will reverse proxy soon and spit on their restrictions.
