- Comment on GitHub - voidauth/voidauth: An Easy to Use and Self-Host Single Sign-On Provider 🐈⬛🔒 13 hours ago:
This thing looks great but it has layers of supply-chain sploit risk. Make sure you’re really secure before trying it – and if you’re (otherwise) iso27002 compliant, give it a pass.

Only if you add the rest of the letters back to “thru” and “nite”.

Exactly what you would expect from a junior engineer.
Except junior engineers become seniors. If you don’t understand this … are you HR?
- Comment on PSA: If the first Smart Search in Immich takes a while 4 days ago:
But why?
I a world where we can’t really be sure what’s in an upgrade, a super-clean start that burns any ephemeral data is about the best way to ensure a consistent start.
And consistency gives reliability, as much as we can get without validation (validation is “compare to what’s correct”, but consistency is “try to repeat whatever it was”).

Before t9, this could save time. After t9, it was needless and tired. In my circle, now, we call that kid-pidgin.
T9 was a mid-'90s thing. We are now closer to a 3c warming target than we are to pre-T9 texting.

- Comment on Moving away from physical currency has been very detrimental to the homeless industry 6 days ago:
seen a “homeless” guy beg for money, with a cardboard sign. Then goes and gets into his sports car and drives off.
This isn’t new: 20-20 used to do exposés on this kind of thing, and profiled (tailed) a beggar on the tonnele off-ramp and circle as he walked to his car, put his over-costume in his trunk, and drove off. This was in like 1999. On interviewing him, he admitted he made decent coin.
Support your food banks. They need cash.

Lion’s hare? That’s weird.
Did you mean “lion’s share”, but couldn’t write?

- Comment on Welcome to the Labour police state 1 week ago:
I mean, I get it. Anarchy looks so great sometimes. But I like roads and schools and hospitals and firemen; and we need to.elect someone who ensure those persist.
And then it’s down to choosing the least-worst bunch to do that. And that’s how it’s been for decades.
So, ask yourself: is changing out this regime and losing a bit of healthcare and a bit of infrastructure and a bit of other things that make life livable here, is that a reasonable exchange?
If you say yes, I respect you. If you say no, I respect you. But we can’t vote single-issue: we have a choice between leadership packages, and we need to evaluate them as a whole. The yanks lost their election by voting single-issue, and ended up allowing the worst choice ever to win.
So vote carefully.
- Comment on Why do so many homes in rural areas have a front yard full of junk? 1 week ago:
Every time we move house, my office gets smaller. As we have a rule where the work room needs to be self-contained, my space to stash old NICs or HDDs that I need to shred is contracting.

Oh noo; forgejo is still not connected? I had high hopes. What’s the timeline?
(Honestly, but for the wonky CI spec language I may have switched already)
- Comment on GitLab abandons federation plans! 1 week ago:
Company A permits federation of project 2 with contractor B who agrees. Oh look! No need to add 21 people to your AD. Contract done? De-fed.
Google feds with GH for AOSP dev, because it’s 2023. Users don’t need to even know where the repo is hosted or whether the real meat is another hop inside.
Company “BCFerries”, an imaginary organization, happens to run the largest fleet of mobile DCs in the country, with each mobile DC being 6 HA racks, three on a side, dehumidifiers o-plenty. Engineers stationed aboard need to lob tickets and hot fixes on the go, and sub them for review when the mobile DCs get a good link, 30 min out of every 2 hours. Roaming 2/2/2tb node swaps spit with the stationary nodes when it smells the VPN, and then gets ready to go again.
Repeat that above, but say ‘Maersk’. I’m betting evergreen/evergiven is on VSS.
Enough examples?
Running a federated GL is conceivably a set-it-and-forget-it like a lot of federated stuff already is, and you debug the glitches and patch like normal.
Given the 5GLs I still run were all installed by VMware/terraform/chef/RPM, patched automatically with package promotion and watched for anomalies, it’s already negligible effort. Double nothing is …let’s see …carry the 0 …integrate the square …nothing.
- Comment on goodbye plex 1 week ago:
I saw this and was pleased, actually. The relative opacity of containers makes them a validation challenge and hides versioning from standard tooling used for large host populations and/or enterprise.
Even if they sparkle.
- Comment on Introducing reitti: a selfhosted alternative to Google Timeline 1 week ago:
Docker-dependent? It looks fantastic, but I have no containers in my home-lab – and it’s based on my time managing OS security for an OS. I’m stuck living vicariously through the rest of you, so report back often.

- Comment on Is there really anything stopping an evil government from just poisoning the water supply to commit a massacre/genocide/ethnic-clensing? 1 week ago:
The US has extremely strict and aware water safety protocols. It would take just 1 whistleblower to [take down] this operation.
Had. HAD. The US has fired many/most of its inspectors.
75% of American drinking water requires treatment for one thing or another. One of those treatments is supplied by a single vendor out of a single plant in a flood-prone area. Apparently only recently did it receive federal staffing to improve security. This is only one of the many weak links in a supply chain with now absolutely zero oversight.
I wish I was kidding.
- Comment on Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans 1 week ago:
Even I Canada, where mental health is still a value-add for most of us and not a right even under our current system, we are offered a fund with some jobs to use for either physiotherapy or mental health, and it’s a limited fund.
Give us a choice, and 10/10 times we will prioritize being able to walk and move and sleep effectively over feeling good about it.

Don’t shame people for calling their mothers “mommy” : it sounds so middle-school edgy.

- Comment on Zero-day: Bluetooth gap turns millions of headphones into listening stations 2 weeks ago:
I used a USB connection through my KVM to connect to one computer or the next. But it’s just something to plug my headphones into the 3.5mm jack.
Since it never gets unplugged, it doesn’t get lost; unlike all those “just have this snowflake dongle in one of all of your stuff so it can get lost monthly and you can buy another” people.
Again: my startac 7800 had a jack and it was tiny. Apple and Samsung have NO EXCUSE.
- Comment on Zero-day: Bluetooth gap turns millions of headphones into listening stations 2 weeks ago:
That’s just gaslighting. Other phones had audio jacks, water protection, and you didn’t have to hold them funny.
- Comment on Zero-day: Bluetooth gap turns millions of headphones into listening stations 2 weeks ago:
Because they can’t sell you more Bluetooth crap if they give you a choice.
Stop buying no-Jack phones.
