Hello. Why are you looking at this page? There's nothing here to see!
- Comment on can my image be recorded in British airports by tv camera crews even if I don't consent? 9 months ago:
If an officer at a British airport asks you if he can search your luggage and you say no and you ask him if you are under arrest, what happens then?
The police (and Border Force staff) have the legal right to search you and your belongings, as long as they can justify the reason for that request. If you refuse to allow them to do that you will most likely be arrested and you will have your belongings confiscated and searched anyway.
- Comment on can my image be recorded in British airports by tv camera crews even if I don't consent? 9 months ago:
They can’t broadcast your image without consent.
They absolutely can. The principle has been tested multiple times in court and the case law is very clear - anyone who is in a public place can have no reasonable expectation of privacy. If a photo is taken and published, or video is recorded and shown then anyone in the crowd is basically fair game.
For under-18s there is a code of ethics that means any responsible photographer will blur out the faces of anyone who appears to be a child, but even that's (probably) not enforceable by law.
- Comment on Could someone explain the networking behind transparent proxies and MiTM snooping using certificates to me? 11 months ago:
Yes, I think that 'masquerading' is the key bit to grasp. The MITM Proxy isn't just intercepting the traffic, it alters the traffic as it passes through.
- Comment on Quadlets might make me finally stop using docker-compose 1 year ago:
systemd [is] a niche
Maybe in the wider world of all the operating systems installed on all the computers, but for Linux-based computing it is, like it or not, near ubiquitous these days. And in particular for server systems (and this is, after all, /m/selfhosted), good luck finding something that isn't systemd-based unless you're deliberately choosing a BSD or aiming for a system which has ever-decreasing amounts of support available.

what if I'm not using CoreOS?
Podman runs on any distro (or more strictly: any distro that uses systemd).
- Comment on Movies vs life 1 year ago:
There is a long abandoned (but it still runs) project called eDEX-UI (https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui) which basically provides a working, useable terminal surrounded by all sorts of the crap visual appearance of hacker terminals in the movies. Pair that with a terminal editor and you've almost got a movie IDE!
It's kinda fun for a while although I'd be amazed if anyone actually used it as their main terminal emulator program. But you could.
- Comment on Isn't technically everything open-source? 1 year ago:
It's not a perfect analogy, but a good way to think about it if you're not a programmer is to say "why do we need recipes when we can just buy a product in the store and read the ingredients list".
Just because you know the ingredients, that doesn't mean you know how to put them together in the right order, in the right quantities, and using the correct processes to recreate the finished product.
