Ooof, I didn't know this

(now resigned) "AI executive signs woman's chest at trade show" a real thing. 😬

@scott @kajer @ai6yr it solves the trust and collusion problem quite neatly. If I recall, ours was (3, 9). We figured if you can get 3 people to agree, that’s good enough. We favored uptime over security in these cases.

But as in the original posts comments, making this visible is critical. We did struggle with solving that and never did in a suitably fool-proof (damn the universe for making better fools!) manner. This is just an extension of the general idea for JIT access. Make it “easy”, but make it appropriately noisy as well.

Sadly, too many people are still sitting around trying to think of ways to make it all harder.

From the website:

7,879 servers sit behind a CDN, so their real location can’t be placed.

LW uses Cloudflare. So it falls into that category.

@0xabad1dea Yeah, I had a similar thought when I heard number two was a work colleague. The guy hasn’t shown any concern about getting caught or optics.

I mean the fact that the most widely used photo is him signing some woman’s bra says this guy thinks he’s a rockstar with no chance of facing consequences.

@scottmiller42 @0xabad1dea Oof, I had not seen this.

@Gargron Was it profitable as a fundraising venture? Or did warehousing it for so long cut into that

@fesshole I wonder if she was saying that's a joke?

@dialektgefahr @mobilizon

I'm not Mobilizon, but AFAIK it should work with Fediverse platforms that support the necessary parts of the ActivityPub standard. (The precise technical details are at https://docs.mobilizon.org/5.%20Interoperability/1.activity_pub)

There are lots of groups on Mobilzon sites listed at https://mobilizon.org/#join

Thats gorgeous.

@jalefkowit

It does seem like the revised design (perhaps more progressive and accurate-to-the-actors?) ought to go with the updated "special edition", while the original, tropey, pulpy design ought to go with the original version. 🤔

@petrillic @kajer @ai6yr Shamir keys are so good (I posted the same, before your comment had backfilled on my instance)

@jik The world we're building with current IT policy for orgs is really, really stupid. We're becoming so reliant on tech we don't own.

My work server is moving to a data centre next month. All I need is 10tb and a NAS drive but no, that's not company policy.

So our capacity to do work is now at the whim of someone else and everything's slower. For which we pay a monthly fee.

We're promised a 99. 5% (or whatever) up time, which sounds great but we have like, 10 SaaS services. So the chances of one of them going down in say, a month, is actually pretty high. And then we're screwed.

@dillyd Cool photo!

Voters made clear that the cost of living was a major concern at the ballot box. Now Democrats have an opportunity to respond, from raising wages and lowering health care costs to making housing and child care more affordable. The question is how much of that agenda they can turn into action. Todd Beeton breaks down what Democrats are proposing and what comes next. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/democrats-affordability-agenda-economic-populism
