DHL. Fucking DHL. Not sure if it fits your question but I got triggered badly here.

They removed all forms of contact except WhatsApp and their shitty z broken chat bot. If there is ever a use case for LLM than this is it. But they use s system that can either sell you stamps or breaks.

Oh but you can call them. Do you can talk to there chat bot. Once you’ve broken it enough for it to grant an audience with a human being the connection drops.

I very rarely get worked up by broken systems but someone else chose to use this shit shoe and I’m now imprisoned in their web of bullshit.

Oh yeah I see…

As some old philosopher once said: “shit’s fucked, yo”.

Seems to be appropriate here.

Because a security engineer focused on cloud would rightfully say “pod security is not my issue, I’m focused on protecting the rest of our world from each pod itself.”. With AWS as example: If they then analyze the IAM role structures and to deep into where the pod runs (e.g. shared ec2 vs eks) etc. then it would just be a matter of different focus.

Cloud security is focused on the infrastructure - looks like you’re looking for a security engineer focused on the dev side.

If they bring neither to the table then I’m with you - but I don’t see how “the cloud” is at fault here… especially for security the world as full of “following the script” people long before cloud was a thing.

I see two ways forward: either you’re risk averse and assume internal damages that will highly influence heat transfer or you trust in the automatic protection mechanisms or your CPU.

Personally I’d toss it but I’m old and I’ve burned more than one CPU back in the days with faulty or wrongly installed coolers.

I don’t think that the risk is high nowadays but I’m (literally) burned in that regard.

I’m not even sure it would survive bending back so perhaps try that first and if it breaks completely you don’t even have a decision on your hand :)

Oh I think I see the misunderstanding, thanks for your answer!

I had no specific technology or even "social media in my mind at all when writing my first post. Instead I tried to convey my personal preference on the scale “absolute transparency” to “absolute privacy” for the specific case of “seeing who votes in which direction from user about users”.

I completely agree with your statement “don’t treat it differently because of underlying tech decisions”.

For me the answer to the privacy question depends on the specific use case (and who provides/ controls it).

And to answer your question: I only try to describe “my” wishes, not how I think fedi developers see the situation.

I have to be very clear: That’s simply wrong and I have no idea how you come to the conclusion that my statement was Lemmy /Fedi specific in any way…

All other social media do have this information and just don’t provide it to their end users.

My take for how I read this specific case (public communication/information platform) is: Either full anonymity or pseudonymous transparency.

For other cases I’d even argue for personal linked transparency. For others I’d be against having behavioral transparency and would prioritize privacy even higher.

“Social media” as umbrella term is btw too broad for me personally to say “they should do X”

That’s the balance though: privacy is the antagonist of transparency in its nature.

And that’s w good thing in my opinion because this discussion is depending on the subject and not an ultimate right or wrong.

For the specific topic I actually value the transparency more than my personal privacy because it makes manipulation of opinion more transparent.

It’s a question of effort. Sony has a shitload of public presence. For social engineering I can learn many mid level manager names from LinkedIn for example and their infrastructure is necessarily public facing to allow people to work there.

And that’s not talking about their public web presence and services.

And now we’ll switch to … You! If I’d try to target you I would have to first find anything from you to actually target.

Once I have your phone number, public IP or anything that gives me a lead I have to find my way in. And that way in will be because you’ve made a mistake, are lax with your passwords or use an out of date service.

But that’s like 2/3 of the work I had for Sony as well. And now I see that you’re a student with a net fortune of 50$ and a car from 1989.

To out it another way: for companies I aim with s rifle as they are a worthy prey. For individual people I use a shotgun and hope something hits something.

This is a proposal. Why does the article write as if it’s a fact?

All the claims concerning telemetry in that thread are made by the person “asking” the question.

I don’t understand the intent of this post. It looks like you’re trying to start a rumor to be honest.

Telemetry in Thunderbird exists and is well documented. If someone is not happy with their engine or approach they need to switch clients and not basically tell them “I want you to rebuild everything around my nerds”.

German here: just creating and selling something is one thing that jumps to my mind.

The concept of “I have an idea and a bit of money so I’ll just found a company” is … Tiresome. Possible, yes, but the legal hurdles both good and bad are ridiculous. You need way more time than in the US just for the formal overhead and even then you are way more in it with your own private existence.

As founder “beschränkte Haftung” is not as limited as it sounds at first if you’re not firm in legalese for example.

You got a lot of relevant answers so I want to point out something else:

You’re hosting your own services. By yourself. Fuck everyone with a broom who tries to gatekeep that. And I don’t mean wooden side first.

Seriously, your question is on point here from my perspective and as long as it has a connection to running services by your own I personally would love more diversity in hosting solutions.

Personally, I’d love to see people share more about their provider agnostic opentofu deployment or someone who went all in on AWS lambdas for weird stuff.

It sorts by what seems to me historically by relevance, i.e. which day is asked more often because it seems a more frequent timeframe for everyday use in a medieval society compared to the month (with the seasons as something in between those two).

And I agree that since the digital age yyyy-mm–dd has significant advantages!

This is a twisting of your words to make you smile, not to offend :)

You identify with the person so arrogant that he tried to cheat not only the gods but death himself, putting the whole of mortal existence in danger - while disliking the hottest bisexual in existence who was tricked into not knowing what reflections were - and then tragically thinking that he met the hottest sea creature in existence!

That would always by definition block all third parties.

Think of the reddit example from the person you replied to: there was a huge outcry when reddit announced shutting down their lower API tiers.

Either information is free to flow or not at all, there is no middle ground.

With that in mind: I’m sure they thought about it and decided to prioritize transparency she flexibility over security. Personally I support that decision.

The cheapest framework is nearly five times the OPs link.

While “no laptop” is better than a HP I don’t see this link as helpful as all.

OP, I would check out used markets in this price range. While frameworks are awesome I haven’t seen them being refurbished yet and you regularly have business leasing returns from Lenovo for example that could match your budget.

One thing that was only mentioned briefly by someone else is the physical button turning on the computer.

Similar to the paperclip test figure out where the power button goes into the mainboardw and bridge that with a short cable. Is possible that by moving the case the old button lost a cable.

This is just one more thing to test though, it’s really trial and error as you know :)

You have one assumption in your question that is wrong. Sorry to hijack your question a but this is important to me and I hope useful to someone reading it

Kleptomania is the inability to resist the urge to steal items, usually for reasons other than personal use or financial gain. […] kleptomania is classified in psychiatry as an impulse control disorder.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleptomania

There is no inherent motive.

The distinction is important to me because kleptomania can be one of the lesser known symptoms of an underlying ADHD diagnostic.

To give an example from several decades ago: I had to wait on an empty cash register right next to an exit. Something in my brain went "fuck this"and I walked out without my shopping. But with a 24 pack of soda… Which I didn’t even like.

To come back to your question: if, long before therapy, a painting would’ve pulled my interest and the effort would’ve been quite low that could’ve been enough. I.e. next to an exit or already rolled up.

Haha my association is “ah damn but I didn’t wanna build a hospital! I’ll just take those people and material and we’ll build a the night awesome cemetery ever!”.

Dunno why my mind went there but I’ll have to thank you for that!

One thing to point out: it doesn’t say “elected”.

In theory it might be just the best leading person for a role.

That in itself is the most complex issue in my opinion: where do leaders come from and how do you make sure that they don’t overstay their need? It’s an unresolved issue and democracy is our best answer yet, in my opinion.
