Monkey With A Shell

Anything specific to say they forced others not to run? The whole bit of others dropping out and endorsing happens regularly. Happened on the R side too. Bernie didn’t get nominated because not enough people showed up to vote at the end of the day. Having dedicated fans and lots of youth energy means nothing unless the vote count says what you want when it’s over.

I get the potential gripe, but realistically it’s hard to call it undemocratic even as it stands. People voted for an incumbent (essentially unopposed) ticket of Biden/Harris. Had Biden simply dropped dead this would have been the very same result. We just skipped the whole death part and moved on to the natural line of succession. Besides, how many times have we had a VP become pres or at least the candidate in the past few decades? Better than half since the 70s if I count correctly.

If those people can look at Trump’s record and be fine with it, I don’t suspect the ethics of one’s work as a DA are going to be the deciding factor.

I’m not sure why there’s the need to rebrand confidence to the term dominance…

These are two quite distinct things. The former presents a self-assured certainty in your position, the latter is more aimed at a willingness to call out another on the wrongness of theirs. It’s a tough role to play when the positions of any given constituent and legislator are so entrenched, but necessary. It’s a bit like the comics of the type where you have one side saying ‘kill all X’ and the other saying ‘protect X lives’ and it’s somehow a compromise to only kill a few X…

And nobody cares that Trump is just a couple years younger… plus you know all the autocratic/dictator tendencies thing.

How would the DNC take advantage of the most racist parts of the R party abstaining over the race of the wife of their VP? They’re not going to condone bigotry and even if they where going to their own VP is Kamela…

That’s my go to for my quick scratch pad notes, generally something I only need for a one time deal.

I use the Bit Warden secure note feature for more permanent things.

If it is a more ongoing documentation deal that needs organization I like Bookstack.

All depends on the purpose one uses it for.

I have to wonder, how hard would it actually be to set up one of these ‘luxury’ brand names with 1000% markups and use it to Robin Hood the crap out of a bunch of people with too much money. Pay for the local school renovation via profits off some of those people too high on their own farts to notice those around them.

Never used don’t care really but:

users can also force touch a post in order to open a menu with more options.

Their terminology needs some work, force touching is not ok…

What’s the odds that these things don’t become regular theft targets, even of the drones themselves? Porch pirates are enough of a thing now, can’t see any of them feeling bad about robbing a robot.

Have to say that was a damn refreshing change from the vacant look and feel in the debate. May be far from perfect but I take that over the raving lunatic with an R by them any day.

And with a major portion of US military aid grants coming with the condition that the purchased equipment come from US contractors you can argue which funding bucket it came from, but in all practicality Israel bought US systems with aid money granted from the US and then where willing to give the old systems they intended to decommission to someone the US is aiming to support.

It really is just US aid to Ukraine with an Israeli sticker on it in that sense.

Israel wants to get some gold star for agreeing to send systems the US provided to Ukraine now? What kind of PR lunacy is going on here.

I looked about for it and the PG update basically involves creating a new folder to initialize and then exporting/importing the old DB, but haven’t successfully done so yet here.

They’re a part of the mix. Firewalls, Proxies, WAF (often built into a proxy), IPS, AV, and whatever intelligence systems one may like work together to do their tasks. Visibility of traffic is important as well as the management burden being low enough. I used to have to manually log into several boxes on a regular basis to update software, certs, and configs, now a majority of that is automated and I just get an email to schedule a restart if needed.

A reverse proxy can be a lot more than just host based routing though. Take something like a Bluecoat or F5 and look at the options on it. Now you might say it’s not a proxy then because it does X/Y/Z but at the heart of things creating that bridged intercept for the traffic is still the core functionality.

It depends on what your level of confidence and paranoia is. Things on the Internet get scanned constantly, I actually get routine reports from one of them that I noticed in the logs and hit them up via an associated website. Just take it as an expected that someone out there is going to try and see if admin/password gets into some login screen if it’s facing the web.

For the most part, so long as you keep things updated and use reputable and maintained software for your system the larger risk is going to come from someone clicking a link in the wrong email than from someone haxxoring in from the public internet.

I have a dozen services running on a myriad of ports. My reverse proxy setup allows me to map hostnames to those services and expose only 80/443 to the web, plus the fact that an entity needs to know a hostname now instead of just an exposed port. IPS signatures can help identify abstract hostname scans and the proxy can be configured to permit only designated sources. Reverse proxies also commonly get used to allow for SSL offloading to permit clear text observation of traffic between the proxy and the backing host. Plenty of other use cases for them out there too, don’t think of it as some one trick off/on access gateway tool

Should not, wonder if there’s any adguard/pihole lists to smack OneDrive/box/Dropbox/etc domains and just take these services out before they can start.

Zabbix or Cacti are nice ways to draw maps that also serve a functional role in keeping track of the activity and alerting.

Looks like was just updated today pending transfer, so either the owner transferring registrars or someone took it over.
