Another option if you need public access without something like tailscale would be to use ddns and a AAAA record. Something like https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient would help do that.

That way if the IP changes, you’d pick up on the change for your vanity url within a few minutes… and can get https certs for that url as well.

Edit: I reread the OP. This doesn’t help if clients need direct ipv4. Sorry about that.

For something end-user facing: I could understand this argument.

In this case they were more or less just calling a C function that had an unsigned long long as the parameter they were setting negative.

The whole ‘bug’ was that the other side of the function call was seeing a positive number no matter what.

The real situation was a bit more complicated, but that’s the gist.

I once had a QA engineer file a bug saying they couldn’t do negative testing since negative numbers were converted to positive.

The function took an unsigned integer. Took a lot of explaining to get them to understand that negative testing isn’t necessarily negative numbers.

Bad eh security advice: use an alternative ssh port. Lots of actors try port 22 and other common alternatives. Much fewer will do a full port scan looking for an ssh server then try brute forcing.

For some reason a collective of cats sounds like some sort of organized crime group that wears suits.

My cat doesn’t wear a suit, though probably partakes in organized crime. 🤔

Bottom left made me miss Kmart

I have both but just use pihole as a local DNS server/forwarder. I bump into too many random times where sites or redirects don’t work properly since they get blocked.

Consider using containers. I used to think this way, though now my goal is to get down to almost all containers since it’s nice to be able to spin up and down just what the one ‘thing’ needs.

I figure maybe towards the end of my lifetime laws will catch up to allow some form of real digital ownership. Until then: you lose it when they go out.

If this is your fear, why not just have a will or something that specifically describes what to do and where to go?

Through the magic of make, you can write code that changes if statements to while loops then changes it back after compilation passes or fails.

I only give good advice.

I think the same about basically every new smartphone at this point. Since when have we had real innovation there?

Some people are hard of hearing. It annoys me but I know people who turn on speakerphone immediately since they say they can’t otherwise hear.

Come on you liked it though lol

I’ll give a sort of recommendation to using a safety razor and cheap blades instead. However I’ve been doing it for years and still cut myself.

I yearn for a razor that can use safety razor blades and wouldn’t cut me up.

I already have these razors that use those blades already: Leaf, OneBlade, Maxwell June, and Proof razors… and yet they all cut me up about the same as my regular safety razor.

Anyways razors are kind of cool. Wonder if there is a Lemmy community for shaving.

How does a doddle compare to a jiffie?

It’s been too many years since I’ve played on a tire swing.

Warning: talking out of my butt a bit so take with a grain of salt.

I wonder if you could look at micropython. You could implement a unix like world on top of micropython then use micropython as the layer where a normal os would be.

It would be miserable and likely impossible to be fully unix compliant but could be a fun thing to play with. I would be amazed if it ever somehow could run native unix binaries.

Can confirm this type of thing. Under the Microsoft umbrella stuff doesn’t get special treatment or exemptions from rate limits.

Instead we make multiple accounts and randomly pick ones to use for various api calls. We waste time fighting with secondary rate limits for them as well as guess how to avoid them.

I would think they could have a legit .gov url shortener. They’re not much code and easy enough to run at scale.

I’d vote for u.gov.
