  Doesn’t exploding require combustion?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Tea cup" app - user database leaked today (incl. drivers license & IDs). Daily reminder not to give your ID to online services [THEY DO NOT PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What connection do you think a third party is saving when using openid? Generally speaking the only thing the third party needs is your identifier which in most cases is just an email. It’s no more devastating for the user base for that information to be leaked than it is when they’re handling authorization themselves. I personally think using a government backed authorization platform is a terrible idea and something completely liable to be abused by those in power, but it would objectively be better than trying to have every single service store your personally identifiable information themselves.

  ??? This is just textbook sso/openid but backed by the government. There’s nothing intrinsically insecure about having third parties send you directly to a trusted government site for authorization.

  It’s so funny how defensive and upset ml users are here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jellyfin over the internet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t want to be an asshole but after checking a couple of those out they all appear to be post-authorization vulnerabilities? Like sure if you’re just passing out credentials to your jellyfin instance someone could use the device log upload to wreck your container, but shouldn’t most people be more worried about vulnerabilities that have surface for unauthorized attackers?

  I think he maintained git at its inception for like 6 months and then passed it off to someone else, but I could be completely mistaken.

  Steam OS 3 has basically no ties its processors which makes this release meaningful

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I use HTTPS on a private LAN without self-signed certs?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  With certbot there’s probably a plugin to do it automatically, but if you just want to get something working right now you can run the following to manually run a dns challenge against your chosen domain names and get a cert for any specified. This will expire in ~3 months and you’ll need to do it again, so I’d recommend throwing it in a cron job and finding the applicable certbot-dns-dnsprovider plugin that will make it run without your input. Once you have it working you can extract the certs from /etc/letsencrypt/live on most systems. Just be aware that the files there are going to be symlinks so you’ll want to copy them before tarballing them to move other machines.

  certbot --preferred-challenges dns --manual certonly -d *.mydomain.tld -d mydomain.tld -d *.local.mydomain.tld

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I can’t say I’ve used it myself but it seems pretty straightforward and very in line with SteamOS philosophies.

  The steam deck uses KDE Plasma 5 as its desktop environment, so anything that uses that should feel very similar. I recommend bazzite if familiarity is something that would appeal to you.
