Come on, that’s communism! The markets will sort it all out, right? … right?

Yes, it’s a complete auth bypass. All you need is the email address of a user and they’ll likely sign CSRs for any domains under that account.

It’s the end for them, I imagine.

Don't piss off the internet, there will be consequences. I guess.

Ever dealt with key generation on a HSM?

Thousand line shell scripts that use expect to drive 30+ answers to a multi-choice interactive tui (that only works on one version of redhat from 2008 or something) is not so unusual, can totally understand how it happened. No excuses in that though.

Or, you know, use client certificates so the bots can’t hit you.

Those can leak / be stolen of course, but a bunch of my clients php apis survived as without a cert they’re told to fuck right off.

It does make their client onboarding a bit harder but it’s a trade off which seems to have been the right one.

Absolute clown show. Do not trust these people with your business.

more like: Your account will get automatically flagged for output containing the word nmap (technically illegal software in germany), blackholed killing your unrelated prod app, then the german support will take 4.5 weeks to respond inaccurately; you will complain and this will next get escalated to an “architect” (common role in german it, usually university graduates who have never written a line of prod code in their life, and never will) who unfortunately happens to be only working 2 days a week and has 10 days of holidays booked and then once the fax has been approved and stamped by 16 departments someone will upload the correct line to an excel spreadsheet on sharepoint which will trigger a cronjob to add your email to a servicenow ticket about an unrelated issue.

At least, this is how the three separate business i’ve migrated off the dumpster fire that’s hetzner found out what they’ve been paying for.

Avoid them like the goddamn plague. I’d rather run production off my fucking iphone than deal with that rank bunch of incompetent, arrogant useless tossers again.

One extreme option if you wanna kick the ‘butter — I ate a small amount of peanut butter immediately before a severe case of norovirus kicked in (48 hours of purge every 15-20 minutes) — can’t even be in the same room with the stuff without flashbacks anymore. Even typing that out made feel rough.

Maybe there’s some way to de-program such strong associations but seems like a way to kick a bad habit..

I was looking forward to their new one (houston something?) for a couple years but seems all reference to it on their website has been removed.

Shame.

New comment by cyberpunk in "New Apple TV 4K"

cyberpunk — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 21:55:05 +0000

I’ve listened to a bunch of these “audiophile” setups (usually owned by retired boomers with bad hearing in untreated rooms) and while 60k of amps does look good i really struggle to believe that anything other than the speakers makes much difference.

Having done that, my opinions are simple;

A good set of floor standers connected to pretty much anything will sound good.

Basic room treatment will go far enough for everyone unless you’re running a sfx studio or something and even then…

Anything over 320 mp3 is basically pointless, but the better masters you get on some of these 24/96 platforms make it probably worth the subscription (sometimes).

I prefer good headphones.

And this is how i’ve avoided spending 6 figures on audio gear :)

..: Surely the specs (or … whatever compliance paperwork, CE etc?) of the device have to state if it includes a modem or not?

If it does then don’t buy it?

Does it come with specially shielded and gold plated hdmi cables to go along with the rest of the 12k snake oil?

I wish it was possible to pipe into it tho.

e.g tar -cf - * |

I guess this is not possible due to the way the encryption works?

tmux has that these days and it’s great if you have a big monitor with a lot of panes, just move the mouse to focus.

They actually used the term super intelligence.

I hate this timeline.

Wait, okay maybe I'm in a bubble, but every org I've worked at understood that giving us whatever hardware we want more than pays for itself, and very quickly.

I can't fathom the logic of paying 10k a month for a developer and giving them an 800 device.

Insane. Your leadership is severely broken. If you can, work somewhere that values you.

There are dozens of us! Erlang is a great language, elixir just feels kinda flimsy and over-macro’d to me somehow.
