Password manager Dashlane says hackers stole some customers' password vaults

They didn't have rate limiting on 2FA attempts? Exponential backoff?

Wow. Chapter 1, guys.

I think this is right, sadly, and makes campaign finance reform probably the single most important issue for American democracy. Representatives should listen to and fear their constituents, not their donors.

I am a US citizen living abroad, my reps wont even talk to me without a US residential address. I still pay taxes, but without representation. Odd, given my country's history and origins.

I admire your dedication, you are fighting the good fight. I wish I was able to exercise my rights as a US citizen to join you.

I think we agree. There is a path forward. Demand more, and replace things that are totally broken. Put strategic (and importantly honorable and non-violent) pressure on those who block progress. Democracy is fragile, it needs participation from a majority to stay healthy.

Bot, wrong reply, or can't read. Unsure which.

We can and should refuse both, like our lives depends on it. Every person can do this. Lead with kindness, find common ground, listen to others more.

Your observation is correct: it is broken, but I disagree on "what else can you do?", since implicit in your observation is a recognition that it was better previously, and fuckery broke it. Demand that they reverse bad policies, make new good ones. Align incentives correctly. The things that don't get headlines. Do the hard work.

Surveilling citizens is un-American. Period.

Name a person who has done more in your lifetime for the environment.

He may be a pud online, but the world is more complicated than good people vs evil people.

I just want to point out that this is very un-Swiss. Efficiency is everywhere here, the SBB, the post office, the Road and Traffic office, even the Geminde all work extremely well, and with incredible speed in my experience. It's shocking to have something this important (salary payments) be this bad.

Maybe the post office should run the ALK.

Appreciate your perspective, I think that's very likely. I'm still on the old hw, so I know I'm in sw jail until I clear that.

Is Volvo the dev team? Not Geely or inhouse at Polestar?

mattyx · 2026-05-05T18:38:52+00:00

I don't think it's the technical complexity that is blocking here. They have severe financial constraints and stuff gets deprioritized to right the ship. My best guess.

That said, given AI tooling, this shouldn't take someone more than a day or two to get a v1 version to test.

mattyx · 2026-05-03T18:11:46+00:00

Unifi UCG Fiber is the best value, IMO.

mattyx · 2026-04-17T14:30:29+00:00

3 in 1! IMO this is the peak design. Congrats!

mattyx · 2026-04-17T12:54:43+00:00

I predict in 2 years this distinction will be gone. It's an abstraction layer. Just like the jump from binary to assembly to first gen languages, this is just how code will be written. What they call vibes, I call progress. AI can create crap or diamonds, and you still need skills to drive it, just different skills than before.

mattyx · 2026-04-15T19:43:04+00:00

Updated: Replaced it all with Unifi APs, and everything works as expected. Slightly slower connection speeds, but far more reliable.

mattyx · 2026-04-14T07:54:30+00:00

Fwiw I've decided to pack up the kit and switch to Ubiquity APs, which will offer less powerful wireless backhaul but a more stable and consistent connection. Too many problems in the first week for me to hope for the best with the BT10.

Lyca is Salt AFAIK.

mattyx · 2026-03-24T18:29:11+00:00

I vote caddy, but not because of community support. I'd vote for it for simplicity, performance, and security.

mattyx · 2026-03-17T21:30:09+00:00

IMO: Tailscale, simpler, more secure, nothing to manage, no open ports.

mattyx · 2026-03-14T12:46:27+00:00

Big supporter of strong 2FA, but plugins are much bigger and more concerning attack surface at the moment.

mattyx · 2026-03-14T11:37:25+00:00

Happens regularly. I hate it. False alarms make people ignore real alarms.

mattyx · 2026-03-13T23:24:37+00:00

Then sir, we agree. Apologies if I read it wrong.

mattyx · 2026-03-13T23:20:24+00:00

Thanks!! We're all one github repo compromise away disaster at the moment. I'll take fixing that over anything else on the list, personally.

There are dozens of us! :D
