You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
3·7 hours agoUse a separate DBMS (that is, a separate postgres/mariasql/etc container) for each service. Give each one service unique passwords, which you can define in the docker compose.
unique passwords is good practice, but separate db server for each of the services is extreme. it brings much more resource consumption. the solution here is being subscribed to security releases and updating soon. those application kernels also sound like a good idea. and as I understand, postgres permissions were not at fault, the permission system had a bug.
Even if one application that connects to a database gets owned, it doesn’t have access to other postgres databases, preventing data leaks/exfiltration.
except that because of the bug, anyone with query permission could have become postgres superuser.
tell that to the owner class. maybe they will care and stop running the economy, if you are asking nicely enough.

did you read the article? or at least just tge title?
2·13 hours agoI burst most of the blood vessels in both my eyes.
how is your vision? I guess that doesn’t heal much :(
If you’re already completely set up in Excel, there’s no reason to switch.
is there no reason? licensing issues (like certain not so old purchased versions just getting disabled globally)? windows lock-in?
If you’re set up in LO using visual basic outside of it then that would also mean there’s no reason to switch.
what do you think, how is visual basic used in a spreadsheet? how do you imagine it being used outside of the spreadsheet app?
ok, I was probably biased by all the slow routers I had, but to my defense even the openwrt wiki mentions that SQM might not be useful with routers that have a slow CPU:
SQM is performed on the CPU, as such slower devices may be unable to keep up with your peak internet speed.
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/traffic-shaping/sqm
I don’t know what were your companies consumer base, but where I live basically everyone has the cheapest old consumer routers that are on the very limits of the openwrt hardware requirements.
yes, that’s why I started caring. all the internet connected cameras everywhere. it cannot stay this way.
that’s like saying you can ise visual basic outside of excel, so there’s no point in using it in excel
Completely on point. But to add
Cameras should never be facing the inside of a vehicle, ever.
Neither outside. if you bought the vehicle with the inward facing camera, you accepted being recorded. but if a tesla appears near you, you never ever got the chance to deny being recorded.
aaand then they just broke millions of TVs. there goes the brand recognition

its easy to say firefox follows the standards slowly, when google is stuffing the standards with all the ridiculous unnecessary bullshit that have no business in the web standards, because they have the developer capacity to bloat it. when web standards maintainers are mostly google employees.
If there is any technical aspect (not moral, just technical) I am ignoring please feel free to share with the rest.
all the privacy aspects, including the many ways chrome is leaking identifying data that firefox fixes. as a start, you can look at uBlock Origin’s wiki page on why can it work better in firefox than in chrome. and this is just a little fraction of the differences.

and what should the router do with traffic going to TCP port 443? because that’s most things going to the internet. it could be video streaming. it could be a video call. it could be someone scrolling unimportant shit on facebook. it could be any of your dozen IoT devices uploading telemetry to the manufacturer. it could be literally anything. you can’t meaningfully prioritize traffic based on just what service is it, you need to keep track of the recent usage of each connection, and that will cost CPU power.
4·3 days agoI also recommend ruining windows
3·4 days agoa solution without wiping them out won’t solve the problem.
most routers are way too underpowered for that. you are happy if yours has 128 MB of RAM and 64 MB storage, and then you can imagine how is it with their CPU.
I would like to click on a peertube link and for it to create a user on the peertube system using any relevant customizations from my parent user
unauthorized exfiltration of your user data, including all settings, your email address and possibly your subscriptions.
but probably this could be solved with some agreement dialog.and if I modify options on peertube I wish it would save that to my piefed user somewhere
intransparent and unauthorized modification of arbitrary settings in the origin user
sorry but this is written like the writer does not know computers.
sure, lets make an unverifiable blackbox digital system for making digital passes that is somehow trustworthy, because… why exactly? oh yeah because the news said on the TV it is safe and secure, so it must be so!
and sure, lets allow voting with the unverifiable blackbox digital system, and lets just pretend that your vote cannot be forged at dozens of places on the way to the vote counters.
anonymous authentication is a contradiction.
no amount of tech will fix the problems of the unverifiable blackbox digital systems. you as a vote counter can trace the paper ballot from the booth to the counting event, and you can be assured the submitted ballots cannot be modified without someone going to the ballot box and opening it. but none of that can be said about computers. you can’t inspect the electrical signals, you wouldn’t be able to do that even with an utopistic fully open hardware computer.
