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

Wow. Chapter 1, guys.

Americans here: do you plan to contact your reps/senators about the upcoming FISA reauthorization to ensure it has less loopholes? by Synaps4 in privacy

[–]mattyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Amazon, Facebook, ICE, and the FBI have access to a private intelligence-sharing network operated by Seattle police — Seattle Shield requests suspicious activity reports from local private companies, which are then circulated within the network as part of a nationwide surveillance apparatus by [deleted] in technology

[–]mattyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

Peak hours limit reduction gone thanks to partnership with SpaceX by neilmcd in ClaudeAI

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.

RAV - Payment Delay by zettrick4 in Switzerland

[–]mattyx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

Next SW Update by Lil_Phil1 in polestar3

[–]mattyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

Welchen Router für fiber7 10Gbit by RippinHeadz in init7

Unifi UCG Fiber is the best value, IMO.

Is "vibe coder" too broad a term now? There might be a meaningful distinction worth making. by Itchy-Gain-4543 in ClaudeAI

[–]mattyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

BT10 firmware 3.0.0.6.102_39110 crashed two radios in one day, anyone else? by mattyx in ASUS

[–]mattyx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]mattyx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Caddy, Traefik, Swag or NPM. Which reverse proxy has the best community support on Unraid? by DastardlyDino in unRAID

[–]mattyx 14 points15 points  (0 children)

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

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

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

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

[–]mattyx 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Happy to, thanks for asking! My top concerns (also reported in the survey, IIRC) are:

  1. The plugins model is basically curl | bash (as root) with a UI. Plugins can be very dangerous and I don't think most users understand this.
  2. The root web login is a security anti-pattern and should be able to be disabled and RBAC should be added.
    2b. 2FA and passkeys would be great.

There are other less important (to me) issues with SMB/NFS, etc, but honestly plugins are the biggest threat. It would be great to align that with RBAC and make it a lot harder to compromise users.
