Id argue that she also had something of a bit of musical talent and ability to write other songs as well… But on that note - I’d still express the same opinion. Regardless of who you are or even what your standing is - using a public platform to effectively slander another individual while you air your (interpersonal) grievances isn’t… acceptable. Weve seen many examples of why that shouldn’t be a thing. I understand the draw… But it doesn’t make it right - or a good thing to do.

I remember when I first listened to Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors and thought “This isn’t one of the greatest raw emotional albums of all time, no, this is disgusting subhuman noise. Keep cheating men’s private sins private”

Do point out to me where I said keep anyone’s anything private. I said the act of publicly profiting off of their side of a story was the sub human act. It is, quite literally, selling a story which may (and frequently is) embellished at the others expense.

This isn’t making lemonade with lemons… Its shit human behavior. And before you forget that I pointed it out: so was the cheating. Thus: they deserved each other.

But yes: read half of my statement and distill it into “woman bad” or whatever nonsense you were ragebaiting over.

Very cool, very hinged take.

Indeed.

Was it the lawmakers and regulators highly confidential information? If not please pass go and collect your $200.

Look I’ll be that guy. Someone cheats - drop em. Say your piece. Whatever. But if you are making a book deal on it… Or profiteering off the situation? That’s subhuman.

If he did that? Piece of shit, absolutely.

But if shes taking creative license and publicising her “side of the story”… And looking to profit off it? Nah. You lost me. If anything it sounds like they deserved each other. I sure as fuck would steer clear of both of em.

You have two consenting adults acting like anything but.

Meanwhile the average CEOs decision making could be replaced by a goldfish in a tank with some arbitrary object detection code.

The raccoon was quoted saying “do what you must - I have already won” as they took it away.

That was a rabbit hole. I never heard the term prior to this. Pretty interesting.

Ah yeah, those were interesting times. (Although there were some historically interesting viruses back in the day for those floppies too)

Fond memories though. Learning basic on a cartridge… Using literal cassettes for storage. That horrifying sound of a 5" floppy drive struggling to read that file you really needed. Good times.

Generally speaking that was probably what most of us would identify as pre internet times - but usenet / BBS / and early internet and prior definitely was more bright eyed and optimistic. Probably because it was more about learning and tech and less about monotizing every square inch of your existence 😂

I doubt they will drop below 1-2 weeks. Any service outage would turn into a ddos when service was restored.

Is this the same trust that would infect a box in under a minute if not behind a router?

The same trust of needing to scan anything you downloaded for script kiddie grade backdoors?

Zero click ActiveX / js exploits?

Man I’m probably the same age and those are some intense rose colored glasses 😅

Our software is basically a web app that makes it easier to install and manage supported third-party apps. Wireguard (currently) is only used for remote access, if you don’t need that you don’t have to turn it on.

So my point I was driving at - especially with such a diverse offering of wireguard services which do not charge for (effectively) VPN access to your own infrastructure - I was more interested in why your service would be looking to pay gate it as a “premium” feature.

This would be different if we were talking you hosting all these services on your infrastructure but considering the marketing to homelab - I find it to be an unusual choice… And was curious as to the reason for the decision.

For security, everything runs in an isolated sandbox using docker and that also answers your other question.

Right. Docker does sandboxing. That’s a core feature it provides - I’m just trying to ascertain what precisely your company is actually offering outside of a ui wrapper on these established services.

I mentioned earlier that your branding seems to emphasize security - but all I’m seeing is mention of existing security features inherent in the software being wrapped. Does your team do additional tuning for security? Do they have experience in infrastructure security, hardening systems, or the like? To be clear I just want to better understand the branding and what is being offered.

the same goes for backups, they can be geo-redundant if you use our service, but these are optional feature.

Alright so this is a feature that a homelab user can actually use - backups. Could you expand on how you will be managing this feature / plan to implement it once it is offered?

Let’s be honest, the only reason he was upset is he didn’t get to eat it.

Totally unrelated: it’d be a real shame if people talked about jury nullification more eh?

Alright so I’ll ask a hardball question or two. What precisely are you offering that isn’t just repackaged install scripts and a wireguard wrapper?

What is your / your teams background in software security? The implication of the name and your “branding” are selling a lot - what outside of docker and wireguard are you bringing to the table. On that note: why docker?

Further - you are paywalling remote access… When your platform is utilizing wireguard.

Netbird (one of many examples) doesn’t even do that… What’s the reasoning?

I have more but let’s start there.

Sure. That’s fine. Get paid. Devs need to eat (I sure do.)

Did it have to be opt out? Did some of the settings need to be buried in about: config? Its not even remotely a shock to any internet denizen that AI isn’t openly loved by all. Put simply they opted to act first and apologise later. Actions have consequences. They likely had meetings and decided the money was worth upsetting people like me who would react negatively. I’m simply fulfilling my part of the equation.

They earned my trust and patronage by being more secure and faster - and principally “less evil” than the other guy.

And they lost it doing this.

When a patch rolls a feature in and has it on by default (see many articles about people having issues with runaway processor usage)… I’d consider that as close to sneaking as one can.

With regard to the “switch” - that’s what I thought too. I was mistaken. There’s quite a few flags to set in about: config. That was what pushed me over the edge. Its a good piece of software. Its a shame they made that choice and shipped it in the way they did.

C’est la vie. Every so many years a browser fucks up and sees a steady exodus to another. I have no allegiance to any of these corporations… If it works - I’ll use it. If it doesn’t I’ll find something else that does. If nothing else does… I’ll go without. Hard pass.

I think its high time people started leaning into becoming digital nomads again. These corporations are far to comfortable fucking with their userbase.

Right there with you. A fair number of companies are as well. Unfortunately not all software is “uniformly supported” so its really a mixed bag when it comes to who can flip the switch and who can’t.

There’s a lot of costs to consider as well.

All said - it says a lot when companies are willingly taking that plunge just to shed micro$ofts shit.

Aurora Store, Fdroid etc. Graphene or similar OS. They got greedy - now they get nothing.

Most “bypasses” are using admin tools and commands to keep accounts in company or local for enterprises. Its hardly hacking. Microsoft just wants to forcibly inflate their registration numbers. Same thing with one drive, the start menu pulling bing content… Etc.

Its gonna get worse faster as people bail on the eroding enshitified os… Making them try to forcibly lock in other people on the platform harder.

Related: DRM and piracy. The more invasive it got - the worse it was for paying customers… While the DRM would be stripped out by the pirates. You’d think they’d know better.

Google like many companies are looking at AI like the next slave trade. Free labor that doesn’t need sleep, ask for wage increases, or have rights. There’s a reason so many companies are trying to brute force AI right now. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out why humanoid robots are being developed.
