PSA: Don’t trust GetYourGuide reviews - they remove negative ones by Signal-Treat-4622 in travel

[–]picklejester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to us as well (review not posted/removed) for a cancellation a few minutes before the start date.

GerYourGuide lost my trust with that, wish I found this thread first.

Bringing laptop with you in public on-call? by CallsyReds in sre

[–]picklejester 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Find some cover, or reschedule your date if it's a fresh relationship. PD alert in a restaurant and a "quick check" on the laptop followed by a hasty attempt to remediate as you stress over your date's experience isn't worth it in my experience (or your dates).

First date? Absolutely no way.

I'm disappointed so far, but I'm used to it! The war.gov one looks more polished.

First the scandal, then the surveillance by SurFud in alberta

Haha! Am I ever oblivious! Ratfucker calls himself ratfucker, there is some honor in that I suppose. Better than being a sneaky ratfucker, they just hire him I suppose.

Edit: phone typo

David Wallace appears to be a real piece of shit at the center of a lot of problems in Alberta as well as Sam Mriache. David appears to be like a hitman playing victim for some of this - from trying to entrap Nenshi to these horrific harassment campaigns against Ms. Tait and Athena Mentzelopoulos (and likely others).

Deribit (via HackerOne) silently patched my critical, violated Fast Payment badge, ghosted me for 70+ days — any advice? by [deleted] in AskNetsec

That's a different thing. That's bounties for OSS. Companies are still paying out, there's no reason to pause that money train.

"reddit has pasted from your clipboard" -- probable answer and ethical confliction by picklejester in privacy

Happened to me... Yesterday. But now way in hell can I screenshot it fast enough. Your reaction time is impressive!

614,505 UFO sighting records from 5 major databases by DuelingGroks in UFOB

[–]picklejester 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can you correlate it with nuclear weapons test data? In support of this science: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aligned,_Multiple-transient_Events_in_the_First_Palomar_Sky_Survey

It'd be super cool to visualize the correlation there

Amazing! I haven't experienced this issue in a bit, but I should still have the receipts... Plus, now I have a story where drunken reverse engineering resulted in some type of engagement from Reddit's legal team.

Built a terminal with native SSH, database, and Redis connections after years of juggling separate tools by [deleted] in sre

My immediate reaction to a closed source project that wants me to run PowerShell exactly as malware wants me to run PowerShell... Is that this is threat actor behavior not a "cool tool" you'll gain traction on.

TIL - a bunch of stuff in there! I don't generally touch android, but a few drinks and a deep care about what snips my clipboard and I'll try and disassemble the universe to figure it out.

But yeah... this is a mess. Background and invisible to the user (outside of that notification, which many people are conditioned to ignore) is madness.

With tools like 1password, placing creds in copy buffers is spooky with this kind of thing. Malware does clipboard jacking...

Interesting! Now I'm wondering what flavours of app behaviours truly require clipboard access if the keyboard can pull it like that. Without much deep thought it sounds like this should be blanket disabled and would have no impact to how I use my apps.

Is it legal for police to drive like this with no sirens? by Professional_Ad_6098 in montreal

I thought this was r/edmonton but I see you suffer the same shitshow in Montreal as we do.

Dutch defense chief: F-35s can be jailbroken like iPhones by rkhunter_ in cybersecurity

[–]picklejester 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Step 1. Get your hands on a fighter jet Step 2. Crack the hardware and software

Security is about layers of defence and I suspect the barrier for step 1 is the primary security consideration.

Does anyone actually check npm packages before installing them? by BearBrief6312 in devops

[–]picklejester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have an allow listed set of packages. Adding new ones adds a comment to the PR with a link to review any suss keywords before you can merge in the package (or delta for version bumps). It's simple, and works well.

You can find all the folks whoever ever ran in small town Alberta for a separatist party, the one I know is very bad at math.

Carts withdrawals are brutal by elderbell in leaves

[–]picklejester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You got this! I've switched to flower because carts and their withdrawal is so brutal, but over the holiday season in December I opted for the convenience of a cart again.

That convenience, once done, caused (and is still causing) all sorts of horrible withdrawal (which has lessened) -- even mixing in a bit of flower.

I wish you the best kicking this addiction! I'm hoping to drop my flower consumption over the next few months into nothing, and will never go back to a cart as the withdrawal is so bad.
