Daily reminder that sites “protected” by cloudflare are effectively MITM attacks. HTTPS is now even more worthless. Cloudflare can see everything. this is a known fact and not a theory....
Very true. But nobody cares or believes it. When you start saying that US made hardware like network switches, cryptographic algorithms, telecom radios, etc all have backdoors to the 3 letter agencies in 5 eyes plus the internet distribution over cloudfare or “the cloud” in Google, Amazon, Microsoft, then people just think you’re a tin foil hat conspiracist.
The people are too stupid and ignorant to care enough to demand change. Why did the US lobby so hard to get Huawei off market? Because of course there are backdoors into the Chinese intelligence agencies. JUST LIKE US DEVICES! But nobody seems to make that correlation. China bad, China hardware spying bad, is the only thing they can get in their heads.
Good to bring it up, but nothing will change. 99.9% of people don’t know what DNS or proxiing or caching is let alone Cloudfare. It’s just “the internet”. Some are aware of some agencies the US and five eyes have, but most don’t believe what they actually do and are capable of. The US is the best producer of propaganda in the world. Hollywood is amazing at it, as are US media sources. The FISA bill that just came up for reauthorization and passed had a whole PR campaign about catching terrorists and stopping Russia and China and Hamas. Nobody stopped to think how and why they even have any of that info in the first place and how it’s collected.
Keep being the crazy uncle ranting about government spying because the world needs it.
There is substantiated proof of Cisco and Juniper switches having US government backdoors through the management ports. They also have the capability of decrypting everything that passes through them and mirroring to an external host.
I cannot say any more other than you will find that the NSA continuously denied all the backdoors that global security researchers were finding and Cisco denied putting them in. You will also find in leaked Snowden documents absolute proof that the NSA was behind it and did implement the backdoors and they do exist and work.
I at the time being a lowly semiconductor designer with access to unreleased networking gear from the big guys, cannot say anything about what I know those spying piece of shit devices do. But I will say, go look up the Snowden documents. They speak louder than any random on the internet.
And China has made a stink. It’s one reason their great fire wall is setup. It does somewhat prevent citizens from using western tools, but they know they do and really don’t care much. What it really is, is a way to monitor everything in and out. All the edge is Chinese hardware, no backdoors for the five eyes. Those prevent the backdoors, that are known or theorized, to be used. So essentially they are backdoored equipment inside a security fence that disallows the backdoor to establish a connection. Bad actors from within could make this bad for China. Or very very tricky phone home algorithms, but you have to be careful how it’s implemented in unfriendly territory.
Most of the other countries just don’t give a crap. If the Ivory Coasts data is being spied on by the 5 eyes or China, they don’t care. Nobody cares about them either. It’s just the sad state of world power. Those that care, have a side.

You may have noticed a distinct lack of return2ozma. This is due to their admitting, in a public comment, that their engagement here is in bad faith:...
I personally HATE having 10 articles all about the same thing posted and reposted. Then reposted again for the next week as if they’re new. The anti-Big-D-Democratic posts of this user were not reposted. They brought new stories from places I wouldn’t visit and read or have in my biased news feed. Everyone’s “news feed” is biased, it learns what you engage with even if you try to be unbiased.
Banning people who post differing opinions is shitty. It becomes an echo chamber. Today it is Trump and Biden. But <insert slippery slope argument here>.
New feeds are biased. Lemmy is not a news feed. There are no non pay for use websites that don’t have a bias.
This lack of reading and thinking comprehension is also a suck on humanity. You, like most Americans, have no idea how to even read things without inserting your own heavily slanted bias.
Yup, had them lock an account before. Never gave them my info. Had to start a new account and actively work around their fraud protections with fingerprinting. And eventually reconnect. Pain in the butt.
You have zero recourse and no appeal process. Even uploading an ID doesn’t guarantee anything.
Correct. Not sure why people are too stupid to down vote you. He is not a convicted felon at all yet. And the sentencing will be postponed and the entire thing appealed. Because of course it will be. That’s the standard playbook, draw it out. Maybe the sentencing will go ahead. But it will be appealed. The only chance of this man being held accountable before the election is with contempt charges where the judge could order jailing in addition to the fines.
Pardoning is done at their sole discretion. There is nothing illegal about bribing for a pardon. Trump could easily have a SPAC say “hey, here’s $500m, pardon him and retire.” Political suicide for sure. But not illegal, there is precedent, and if there’s life changing money (maybe a fraction of that) there’s a possibility.
Universal sockets are the norm in many places now. I have every outlet with universal. They grip stronger than a standard American outlet and have tamper resistance. But like any receptical they wear out and are only good for so many insertions. If you use G type plugs they seemingly last forever.
I use universal with everything and they grip way stronger than default US outlets. Just a fact. Never have a plug hanging out. Works with grounded and ungrounded. I even replaced every outlet in a few of my US houses with universal, they are that awesome. No issues for many years, at least 15 now, with various inputs including well used ones in a kitchen for example with appliances being plugged and unplugged all the time.
Literally the only thing I like a US plug and socket for, are extension cords. The 5-15 is a great option for a long run. Don’t need a book sized receptacle on one end or a giant cylindrical twisty lock to power a 20W load somewhere.
I mean… Yes. Exactly. But the solution is to convict all of them, not allow it to happen. That’s what the international community has been asking for for decades.
Hopefully the rack is mounted directly into the studs or concrete. I’ve seen them crush gypsum between the stud and paint too…
I’m not much help, but they all suck. I’ve bought probably 2k worth of universal sliding rails to attempt with various servers. I don’t know why but none of them fit properly. None of them slide properly. They are all just annoying. I gave up with them. I bought the OE sliding rail kits for my various servers and magically everything works perfectly.
For servers where I want to move them in and out but don’t want sliding rails, I just buy those universal L bracket type mounts. The servers slide well enough on them, they’re just powder coated bent steel. And a single screw from the front panel into the rack keeps it secure enough since the weight is being held by the support, not its own ears.

I don’t disagree he’s got no chance at winning and is just going to hurt one of the 2 only real choices. Buuuuuut, having these fringe candidates on a stage with a national audience in a way that allows them to answer questions and critique the major candidates is a good thing. Someone who isn’t afraid of losing saying what they believe and baiting a real answer in a real discussion is what’s needed. The “debates” are too useless. Nobody says anything. It’s all talking points (marketing slogans) with deflection. Anything that is remotely contentious isn’t discussed or deflected in a prepared statement. You have to say certain things and do certain things like some weird ceremony but it has zero value.
For example, flag pins… Really? If a veteran asks a question you must pretend it’s the best question you’ve ever heard, thank them for their service with worthless over the top platitudes, and then say nothing of value in your answer.
I bet Chatgpt could write a transcript of the debate and it would be accurate. That’s exactly what LLMs do, regurgitate speech patterns with no meaning behind it.
No you misunderstood my point. The fringe candidates are the only ones that actually coax out real answers from the major candidates. The game has changed. It used to be (the whole thing is really modern, but whatever) the host asked tough questions, and the candidates responded. Now the hosts ask soft balls and all you get are prepared statements.
But the fringe idiot candidates can basically yell and scream at the other candidates and push them to say or not say something on record. And if enough audience/national-viewers hear the question and want the answer, the candidate has to put out a statement. From that you’ll learn just how meaningless it is or not.
And that’s where a lot of these special interest deals are forged. The major candidate agrees to give up a very small concession that may be of importance to a few fringe voters and overall meaningless to their campaign, and gets those voters. But if nobody presses them on the issue, they give up nothing and they still get the votes. It’s better to have some balances in there for a 2 party winner takes all system. It’s the only parliamentary part of the process. Forming a coalition before election.
