Something like this would show up in perimeter network/firewall logs correct? But if someone was mirroring traffic to the same cloud provider you deploy in, it would be less obvious to find out _which_ set of cloud IPs aren't actually your own.

assuming you have both perimeter logs and a system which notifies a human if something is weird in logs.

Do big clouds have a solution for this? I don't usually use GCP / AWS so I don't know what they have

I’m so appreciative that virt-manager has a GUI that crafts and then lets you edit the XML directly. It really eased that beginner into competent stages of using the program for me.

Agreed, it's much better than nothing, though I still don't know how to port forward.

Climate change (less predictable weather, higher temperatures) is and will likely continue to be a factor as well.

I feel like we’re close to that with automated testing and rollbacks. Still, it seems like a ton of complexity for what feels like a fundamental need

I try not to think too much about how I mostly can not and likely will not see 1080p and higher content from my Linux desktop due to (a lack of) Chrome and DRM

If you're willing to run a blob for DRM support, you can get it running in any Chromium flavour. (I would rather prefer torrents, though.)

Chrome for Linux is still 720p at best and I'd expect that to drop over time, not go up.

Chrome isn't what's holding higher resolution Netflix back on Linux, it's the lack of a signed graphics driver by an authority that would revoke anything that didn't enforce the DRM and pushes the decryption to trusted hardware.

Won't it display properly in VLC?

And the offline watching works way better!

How would VLC connect to Netflix? Unless you're implying piracy.

netflix was never mentioned

This, on top of how frustrating it is to report the hacked account to Facebook. Several family members have had their profiles compromised, including the email and phone number updates you mentioned.

Myself and many many other people attempt to help the situation by reporting the old profile as a hacked impersonator, only to be promptly closed by Facebook, as they cite they see no rule breaking. They reach this opinion despite the profile being massively changed, from an English speaking father of two, to a woman persona now posting obvious scam links and new family photos in a different language (and country) entirely.

Even as we admit defeat on recovering the old account, often tied to a small business page, and eat the cost of starting over, the old profile still masquerades under the old name, but with reputation damaging and clearly fake content.

I wonder if the BBB can be leveraged. I can't find Meta on there but I did find an Instagram entry and they have a rating of F [1] Maybe we should post the BBB page for Meta to the front page of HN and let people voice their frustrations?

While I definitely am in favor of having businesses listed there if nothing else to let other people with the same issue feel some solidarity, doesn't the fact that Instagram already has such a low rating not motivating any changes make it unlikely that anything would change if the parent company were listed as well?

Hasn't Yelp mostly replaced the BBB as the standard company that aggregates reviews of businesses? You could try leaving Facebook a 1-star Yelp review.

What would that do? Facebook doesn't sell anything to users. They sell marketing tools to marketers.

“The only reward for good work is more work”

Which is how many arrive at “fuck you, pay me.” The beatings will continue until failure.

I still remember the time I had to walk an executive back from scheduling a “freeform happy hour” over Zoom…as a means to address Zoom fatigue in the department.

If you ever have an issue with the Requests library in Python, just try again with verify=false.

Easier than getting the app team to fix their TLS.

Or the corporate IT team to remove their TLS-trashing MITM attack (because their Firewall Vendor claims that's still "Best Practice" in 2023 and/or the C-Suite loves employee surveillance).

Just be sure to try running the program with sudo first, before trying shitty solutions like that.

That seems insecure; just chmod -R 777 /

At least node has a variable to disable checks globally.
