I think you probably don’t realise you hate standards and certifications. No IT person wants yet another system generating more calls and complexity. but here is iso, or a cyber insurance policy, or NIST, or acsc asking minimums with checklists and a cyber review answering them with controls.
Crazy that there’s so little understanding about why it’s there, that you just think it’s the “IT guy” wanting those.

The responses needs to be contain representation at least equally to non Firefox people who no longer care to answer a poll about a product that they don’t use. Why? Only current users are going to answer the poll, not the people with the cuts and pain that forced them back to Chrome or safari. Asking survivors how to reinforce survival actually doesn’t solve for why do many people off board Firefox.
Frankly you should ask people like my 60-70yo parents why chrome not Firefox. You’ll learn more from that than the corrected responses of people who loudly have preferences but at the end of the day would stay either way. My parents tried Firefox, but then left it. Although they only tried from insistence from their son.
PS: I agree with the poll. I don’t want a chat bot either. If I did, I’d install a plugin that integrates once of my own choosing. Given the availability, privacy, and ease of lmstudio I’d rather leave it in its own place outside the browser and network. I don’t know how those like my parents feel about a bot that can probably answer their questions. I also doubt they care. Maybe it would help them ask questions they’re too embarrassed to ask friends and family for. Usually how to questions they’ve asked dozens of times. But that’s super dangerous.
Well good news! Time to let yourself love again!
I ended up reading it on bleeping computer since the linked site looks like an auto tldr bot saved 50% of the words. The important 50% was discarded.
Giving you an up vote instead of myself leaving a snarky comment.
I checked too, it’s not a valid public DNS record, so then the question is, does Oktas internal DNS resolve this. Even if it does, how does okta even sit in this? Are they the identity provider for Twitter? Surely even if it’s identity, it’s got nothing to do with content moderation? So many questions.
Eating the onion is sure popular today!
Fundamentally what the alternative is, is to propose that you remain the sole owner of your privacy at the cost of sharing with advertisers that you have, say, 6 generic topics you’re interested in. Like motorsports. It, with the millions or billions of others looking. The ad tracking currently knows everything about everyone and then works out if motorsports is an effective ad for you individually based on their profile of you.
For me, I’m fine with the current system. For my family though, they’re just using phones and tablets with their default browser, blissfully unaware that there’s no privacy. Then their data gets leaked out.
I know it’s an extreme kind of case, but domestic abuse victims are always my thought when you think of a counter to “well I’ve got nothing to hide”. Those people if they’re unsure about privacy, will err on the side of caution. They stay trapped.
In conclusion, I’d rather move the needle forward for those who are at risk. Those who installing anti-tracking plugins would put at further risk. Where installing odd browsers make them a target. We can find perfection later. Make the Web safer now.
Plenty of people could justifiably take the opposite stance. But even just for my grandparents, they shouldn’t be tracked the way they are. They’re prime candidates for scams, and giving away privacy is one data leak away from a successful scam.
Kind of off topic to what you said I realise. :)
One rich company trying to claim money off the other rich companies using its software. The ROI on enforcing these will come from only those that really should have afforded to pay and if they can’t, shouldn’t have built on the framework. Let them duke it out. I have zero empathy for either side.
The hopeful other side is with a “budget” for the license, a company can consider using that to weigh up open source contributions and expertise. Allowing those projects to have experts who have income. Even if it’s only a few companies that then hire for that role of porting over, and contributing back to include needed features, more of that helps everyone.
The same happens in security, there used to be no budget for it, it was a cost centre. But then insurance providers wouldn’t provide cyber insurance without meeting minimum standards (after they lost billions) and now companies suddenly have a budget. Security is thriving.
When companies value something, because they need to weigh opportunity cost, they’ll find money.
Hold them all to account, no single points of failure. Make them all responsible.
When talking about vscode especially, those users aren’t your mum and dad. They’re technology professionals or enthusiasts.
With respect to vendors (Microsoft) for too long have they lived off an expectation that its always a end user or publisher responsibility, not theirs when they’re offering a brokering (store or whatever) service. They’ve tried using words like ‘custodian’ when they took the service to further detract from responsibility and fault.
Vendors of routers and firewalls and other network connected IoT for the consumer space now are being legislatively enforced to start adhering to bare minimum responsible practices such as ‘push to change’ configuration updates and automated security firmware updates, of and the long awaited mandatory random password with reset on first configuration (no more admin/Admin).
Is clear this burden will cost those providers. Good. Just like we should take a stance against polluters freely polluting, so too should we make providers take responsibility for reasonable security defaults instead of making the world less secure.
That then makes it even more the users responsibility to be responsible for what they then do insecurely since security should be the default by design. Going outside of those bounds are at your own risk.
Right now it’s a wild West, and telling what is and isn’t secure would be a roll of the dice since it’s just users telling users that they think it’s fine. Are you supposed to just trust a publisher? But what if they act in bad faith? That problem needs solving. Once an app/plugin/device has millions of people using it, it’s reputation is publicly seen as ok even if completely undeserved.
Hmm rant over. I got a bit worked up.
Are you trying to use kiosk mode in a way that was never intended? Kiosks being public use terminals like in retail or used for search only terminals at public places?
This sounds like an XY problem to me intuitively since your use case wouldn’t naturally match a kiosk situation.
The messaging around this so far doesn’t lead me to want to follow the fork on production. As a sysadmin I’m not rushing out to swap my reverse proxy.
The problem is I’m speculating but it seems like the developer was only continuing to develop under condition that they continued control over the nginx decision making.
So currently it looks like from a user of nginx, the cve registration is protecting me with open communication. From a security aspect, a security researcher probably needs that cve to count as a bug bounty.
From the developers perspective, f5 broke the pact of decision control being with the developer. But for me, I would rather it be registered and I’m informed even if I know my configuration doesn’t use it.
Again, assuming a lot here. But I agree with f5. That feature even beta could be in a dev or test environment. That’s enough reason to know.
Edit:Long term, I don’t know where I’ll land. Personally I’d rather be with the developer, except I need to trust that the solution is open not in source, but in communication. It’s a weird situation.
It should make me irrationally angry, but no, it’s a rational hatred. It burns even more intensely.
Dude, someone corrected your misinformation and you call them a bully?
Yes, they’ve been saying it for a year, at this point they’re repeating themselves: https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2022/11/nsa-guidance-on-how-to-avoid-software-memory-safety-issues/amp
Just remember to patch. Owncloud has some of the worst possible cves right now.
I’m just going to give you props. I have worked in Managed IT Services for a dozen years and some of the worst clients are construction, engineering and architects who use solidworks, autodesk and archicad products.
You’ve eaten humble pie and admitted that using computers as a tool, and systems design are different and though you might understand a lot, just like I can build a 3d model, the devil is in the detail.
Building robust solutions that meet your business continuity plans, disaster recovery plans, secure your data for cyber risk and to meet ISO and yet are still somehow usable in a workflow for end users is not something you just pick up as a hobby and implement.
The way I handle technology Lifecycle is in 5 steps: strategy, plan, implement, support, maintain. Each part has distinct requirements and considerations. It’s all well and good to implement something but you need to get support when it goes wrong or misbehaves. You need to monitor and report for backups, patching, system alerts. Lots of people might do the implement, but consider the Lifecycle of the solution.
People do these things at home but they’re home labbing, they’re labs. Production requires more.
Anyway a bunch of people closer to your part of the world will probably help you out here.
I just want to again recognise and compliment you on realising and openly saying you want help rather than just do the usual “oh I know best” that I hear over and over usually just before someone gets ransomed on their never patched log4j using openssl heartbleed publicly exposed server infrastructure.
Lol, a thousand hours would be 6 months of full time work (40 hour week). I’m not sure I’d employ someone who has 6 months of IT experience into a systems administrator job and task them to build a an erp/dms/unified coms solution for a client.
But this guy should be able to do it as a hobby?
This sounds unbelievable, like the turning of a ship to avoid an iceberg. It’s an unbelievably light sentencing, showcasing the country’s lack of interest in protecting women’s rights while declaring the intent to do so in the ruling.
If my partner was attacked, lost her hearing and had to attend court multiple times to defend her rights to safety, and the perpetrator got 3 years? I’d be furious.
I know she’d be devastated. The times she felt unsafe already leave such a big impact, let alone a realised attack.
Anyway. I do hope it’s just a positive sign, that all it will take is a bit more time. I want to believe it’s positive. But it’s wild to compare what I’d like to believe as obvious human rights; to not be attacked to the point of disability from an unprovoked human, then believe in the justice system in arrears to punish and (theoretically) prevent.
Anyway, long rant. Processing it because I probably believed Korea was better than that. Not all the humans, just at least the culture and law.
