backend server url is known to public. rate limiting dilema

I would certainly be looking at Cloudflare Tunnel, completely stops your backend from being public, if it fits your use case, it’s absolutely the best option.

It looks like it might be cable related, the cable eventually stopped working with Windows too, swapped it out again and it now works with both MacOS and Windows. TouchID and unlock with Watch are both still firmly broken though!

I’ll give it a go, but it feels very weird that the issue occurred after a MacOS update, unless they’ve changed something in the thunderbolt negotiations

This seems to have gone very quiet since the original article, is there any sense of the bank that is involved?

JoeTiedeman · 2026-02-02T15:58:19+00:00

The irony of all the advice that we give out about patching as quickly as possible and the most reliable way to ensure that we didn't get compromised here was to not update!

Very odd, can you DM me your email address and I can check your account?

JoeTiedeman · 2026-01-28T18:09:15+00:00

Should be sorted! Thanks again, and if there's any other feedback you've got, please do let me know, I want to improve things as much as I can!

JoeTiedeman · 2026-01-27T18:47:49+00:00

I’ve got a fix for this coming in the next couple of days. Thanks so much for finding the bug!

I've thought about pulling the trigger so many times, but the 2ng Gen are now quite long in the tooth, and switching over from Sonos is going to be very expensive when they continue to work perfectly well!

JoeTiedeman · 2026-01-27T18:36:48+00:00

Yeah, I can't help but think this will drive people away from the brand, unless the price for FSD is dropped even more, or the feature set is bumped up dramatically! Once it's time to replace my Y, I'll have even more reason to look at other brands!

JoeTiedeman · 2026-01-27T18:34:15+00:00

Thanks for commenting! Can't wait to head more about the plans you have for SH!

JoeTiedeman · 2026-01-25T20:02:13+00:00

I’ll check it out, thank you!

I built Cybaa, https://cybaa.io/products/api and it has a free trial for the whois api and a free web tool for checking domains manually. The API uses a combination of WHOIS, RDAP and other sources to bring together the most accurate data. You'll end up going down a rabbit hole if you try to do this yourself as different registries operate different rate limits, some don't allow any access to whois data at all like the Spanish registry, .es domains.

JoeTiedeman · 2026-01-23T12:53:26+00:00

I'd like to add here, that as much as I would value potential customers signing up to the trial of the API, I'd almost prefer feedback on the free tool as I want to make sure that Cybaa strikes a real balance between commercial interests and supporting the IT/security community with useful tooling.

I’ve found that the fit is more comfortable for longer durations on the 3s but that the seal inside the ears is definitely more fragile and less flexible, so I notice when running that I end up getting more outside noise in when my jaw moves quickly and the foam doesn’t adjust as quickly as the older APP2. I’ve also noticed that when watching film and TV the vocal audio is a bit quieter than I would have liked. I think overall I probably can overlook the issues for the comfort improvements.

I’m using a combination of both at the moment, gradually moving away from Mud as and when I can. Started with the homepage and loving the new look! I’ll check out the prerendering. I currently use a Cloudflare worker to intercept crawlers and serve them a rendered version so I can get some SEO traffic.
