Those are rookie numbers, mine are definitely yellowing and cracking.
- Comment on NSW Pulls Plug On Pokies Operating During 'High Risk' Hours 16 hours ago:
Are the venues lively though? My only real experience with pokies was a cruise ship casino, and it was so depressing. Just a bunch of bored looking people mindlessly hitting the button.
No amount of raffles and free food makes that sound like a place to be
- Comment on Options for remote Wake-on-lan. Or I guess wake on WAN. 19 hours ago:
If timers on the bios aren’t an option, look for the settings to power on after power outage. If you turn it on, you can use a standard timer plug to turn the power on and off.
- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 1 day ago:
Definitely, which is why i suggested hosting the image + js on a CDN. Keeps brand awareness, and lets the CDN take the brunt of any malicious activity. with a bit of code-golfing, the data served by Anubis directly prior to POW could be a few hundred bytes, without impacting its functionality.

Kicking off? It started years ago.

Awesome, now do the other 18 hours.
- Comment on SIM binding in India: What it means for WhatsApp, Telegram users and why the government wants it 4 days ago:
If you hold the number it can’t get recycled into distribution. Signal does fall back to MFA codes over SMS from memory (I’ve recovered the signal account for my grandma, as I own the number), so anyone who controls the number controls the account.
- Comment on It's weird looking back at life, and seeing all the paths I didn't go down 4 days ago:
I get that, I’m where I’m at by chance, and I wouldnt want to try a different path either. I did go down the robotics/compsci path, but didn’t end up in either of those fields, so you never know how things will end up.
- Comment on SIM binding in India: What it means for WhatsApp, Telegram users and why the government wants it 4 days ago:
I’m more thinking along the lines of getting a cheap sim, signing up for signal and them letting the plan lapse and the number is released for use again. And then someone buys a new plan, but gets the recycled number. Not sure how realistic that is as a risk vector though.
- Comment on It's weird looking back at life, and seeing all the paths I didn't go down 4 days ago:
This is definitely a shower thought. Good news, at 24 there is plenty of time to backtrack and reroute.
- Comment on SIM binding in India: What it means for WhatsApp, Telegram users and why the government wants it 4 days ago:
Charitable explanation: by allowing people to use WhatsApp/signal etc without holding onto the sim card, it opens them up to risk that someone else gains control of the phone number, and can then take over that account.
But that doesnt really require that the number stays in the same phone, just under the same persons control. Periodic SMS code check-in would be sufficient.
- Comment on Air travel disrupted over Airbus A320 software switch 5 days ago:
It was a big solar storm last month, so makes sense. Thanks for the additional background though, I’ll do some more reading :)
- Comment on Air travel disrupted over Airbus A320 software switch 5 days ago:
Solar flares are predictable, with a decent lead time, so they could ground them during solar activity. But when the cost is potentially so high, an abundance of caution does make sense.
Would be good if the articles had linked to an official statement.
- Comment on Air travel disrupted over Airbus A320 software switch 5 days ago:
You say that, but Boeing…
The article didn’t make it clear that it was a fleet-wide grounding, and it sounded like a rare event, solar flares are relatively rare, and usually predictable.
Probably best to play it safe though.
- Comment on Air travel disrupted over Airbus A320 software switch 5 days ago:
Are the planes actually grounded until the update goes in?
- Comment on Air travel disrupted over Airbus A320 software switch 5 days ago:
No software update takes literal weeks. Do they mean itll be weeks before the technician gets access to the planes?
- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 5 days ago:
I dunno that is true, nothing in the docs indicates that it is explicitly anti-CDN. And using a CDN for a static javascript resource and an image isn’t the same as running the entire site through a CDN proxy.
- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 5 days ago:
A HTTP get request is a few hundred bytes. The response is 28KB. Thats 280x. If a large botnet wanted to denial of service an Anubis protected site, requesting that image could be enough.
Ideally, Anubis should serve as little data as possible until the POW is completed. Caching the POW algorithm (and the image) to a CDN would also mitigate the issue.

temp-mail.org for email, lie for the rest.

- Comment on People using Cloudflare, are you still happy with it? Would you consider any self-hosted alternative? 1 week ago:
I have a lot more faith in tailscale holding the fort against enshitification. They at least seem to have planned their business plan around free tier for advertising, and minimising the cost of the free tier traffic. Can’t predict the future of course, but from a business model POV, they appear to be well setup.
Headscales main issue is that they rely on the tailscale app, and if the app got paywalled or locked to tailscale, that would kill headscale overnight.
I am very happy with headscale so far though, bit fiddly, but once setup it works very well.
- Comment on People using Cloudflare, are you still happy with it? Would you consider any self-hosted alternative? 1 week ago:
I have all my domains on my pihole pointed to the local address, so I only noticed when my uptime monitoring of the external sites started pinging me. But for me, the outage was at 10pm, so it really didn’t matter either way.
- Comment on People using Cloudflare, are you still happy with it? Would you consider any self-hosted alternative? 2 weeks ago:
There are no domains that are infinite time ownership (AFAIK, please correct me if I’m wrong), but its pretty close to ownership. I have the rights to the domain for 10 years, and I get first dibs on renewal after that. So its sorta renting/sorta owning?
- Comment on People using Cloudflare, are you still happy with it? Would you consider any self-hosted alternative? 2 weeks ago:
Yes. I bought the domain through them, to keep it all nice and simple.
- Comment on People using Cloudflare, are you still happy with it? Would you consider any self-hosted alternative? 2 weeks ago:
Yup, happy. A 3 hour outage once in a blue moon really isnt a big deal. Especially when I pay $0.
I host a website for my partners business, and as I pointed out to them, while their website is down right now, so is everyone else’s, so not really losing customers.

It was a bit underwhelming sadly.

Eased off to -12. Still good. More negative is better. A little more to it, but good enough metric.

Somewhere there is a site with a graph, but that one will give a numerical value.
