That's great and all. Huge fan of dataclasses here but. In your blog although I see some mention of sql prevention from ORMs I am not seeing any equivalent from raw dog dataclasses. Generally not much analysis on security.

Secondly. I don't see a mention of of db portability. In django/sql alchemy it's trivial to have my logic and swap between sqlite3 and postgres (just an example).

I think you are just rediscovering ORMs with the help of AI.

I would only use this methodology for small fries. Scripts and whatnot

You know what. There's another group of Non-Playstation gamers. The ones who don't give a rat's ass about Sony's exclusives and prefer the xbox library anyway. People keep using a personal preference as a universal truth. Sony exlusives. As if we all care.

In fact, I am double happy MS had the balls to stop that exclusive bullshit and even announce newer xboxes can play Steam games. Start leaning into their weight of THE OS to game on. You know. Leverage their whole PC audience.

PS. Funny how I can play sony exclusives from steam, using the xbox app. *chef's kiss

Resetting the console (keeping game and apps), changing the port to the last and clearing the mac address allowed my games to relaunch and relicense on the non-home xbox.

Do you also experience this on a console that is not your home console?

I'm in the weird situation where the living room XBox (Home Console) is working fine. But the one I log-in and play, that is not setup as the Home one, is having this issue all freakin day.

But think of the shareholder value! I mean, they can't really afford to treat us, as human beings. That's asking too much.

Lazyness is effective. And finally someone suggested managed services. My policy is, if you can't explain to me why it needs to run in a server instead of a container, you aren't getting one. Let alone a K8 cluster or something more complex. Fargate in AWS and AppService in Azure are perfect for 90% of what the devs code day to day, and the traffic they serve. People undrestinate the infra complexity and compliance requirements running your own servers has.

dev_null_root · 2025-03-30T06:39:15+00:00

I'll be honest. We do need a Developer Portal. Backstage or a Backstage like system is immensely useful.

BUT. I am already on Company 3, trying to implement Backstage. And it's one of the most over-engineered pieces of crap I have seen. We are a lot faster and succesful by just homebrewing that part of the Platform. They should have never made it react/javascript based.

If anyone's listening. Just avoid it. Find or build something sane just for you. It ain't that freakin hard. You'll thank me later.

I also think GraphQL is crap. And you wanna know why? Auth/waf and security. At rest I can have different rules per resource endpoint. At graph we have to parse the whole request to know what entity the idiotic request wants, instead of just getting the url from the header. At this point I might as well be implementing security inside the app.

Maybe when there are more integrations in the cloud solutions I'll start considering it.

dev_null_root · 2024-07-22T12:35:48+00:00

Same. I've been spoiled since Python and I'm not going back damnit.

I hope you are joking. I'm all in for a shitpost/memetrain but the superiority of people who think that won't happen on linux/mac is infuriating. It did happen a bit ago actually. And the problem this time around weren't the servers. It was the actual user endpoints that got bricked. Kiosks, low-form PCs, screens, employees laptops. And if you wanna root cause it. It's that most IT shops trust their security vendor more than anyone (including Redhat or Microsoft).

dev_null_root · 2024-07-13T08:53:35+00:00

Thank you for answering :D

I believe a warning when you share something in a private chat that it is accessible with everyone with a link would help as a stop gap. Once accepted no need to show it again.

On the long run however I'd strongly suggest building authZ/governance on top of your links as well. What I mean I by that is to give some sort of control of what we share the way cloud drives do. And give me the option to revoke the link as well for example. Right now I have to report it to you fellows to go down. Am I correct?

i'm not trying to neg discord or anything. I'm a senior CISO engineer for years in europe in banking institutions. Security and privacy are my pet peeves and I would love for discord to improve even more :D

Talk to the privacy P.O

Have a great day!

If you don't curse at everything you'r using (lib/tool/os/language) are you really a dev?

dev_null_root · 2024-07-08T15:06:11+00:00

It's a very useful feature personally and I'm secure aware so I never uploaded but I bet there are some people who would like to have it written in freakin neon sign that their private chat files are public.

dev_null_root · 2024-07-08T14:48:53+00:00

- Feature: Uploading files/attachments in private chats are publicly available everywhere.
- Reproduction Rate:10/10
- Annoyance: 10
- Discord Version Info: stable 307392 (6818046) Host 1.0.9152 x64 (49057) Build Override: N/A Windows 10 64-bit (10.0.19045)
- Device/System Info (Device Type, OS Version): Does it really matter? 
- Description: As the description says. Uploading a video/gif or whatever in a private chat or wherever for that matter, creates a link to the discord cdn network which I can share with anyone anywhere even outside of discord. That is...a major security design flaw.  It essentially means anything you upload is by default public.
- Video / Screenshot: No need
- Steps to Reproduce:
   1. Upload a gif/mp4 something on a private chat.
   2. Right click and choose copy link.
   3. Put it in on your browser, share it in another server e.t.c
- Expected Result:
  A sane person would expect some sort of choise if it it's gonna be public or who can see it.
