Raises where you work are still based on merit? Damn!
I’m the administrator of kbin.life, a general purpose/tech orientated kbin instance.

Hah, we used to have some of those AUI to 10Base2 transducers back in the day in the office. Definitely had one on the IBM RS6000/220 box.
Yep, less overheads! This is the way.
Or, just spam V all the time!
Not taking any chances. https://winworldpc.com/product/ncsa-mosaic/1
Yes, that’s right. I’m going to buy a 486, run windows 3.1 with trumpet winsock and be rid of tracking forever!
Until then:
If they cannot see a verified human gaze they won’t let you even load the site!
Yes, the tech exists already on phones. Not sure how they’d enforce it on pc.
“Sorry, YouTube is not available to systems without a functioning camera.”? Perhaps with a link to premium :p
When these tools hit their bottom line enough, they will go the extra mile to block them.
The only thing stopping them doing this right now, is that they know it would get regulatory pushback. It has a real chance of causing laws to be made about when and how advertising is appropriate, and those laws might stop some of the things they’re doing now. So they sit as close to that line as they can without crossing it so they can keep self-regulation.
The moment they believe world governments wouldn’t stop them doing it, is the moment they’ll do it.
And in terms of benefit for the advertisers and service providers, it’s a no-brainer. Advertisers know that a large percentage of people tune out, or even leave the room when an advert is on. I think it’s part of the reason they kept them so short on youtube, because if they showed you that there’s 1:30 ad break you might go to the toilet, get a drink, or anything else that takes you away from the ad. If they show you 15seconds, well you’ll probably just sit that one out.
An advert they know people are actually watching is worth a LOT more to advertisers.
Instructions unclear, VPN’d into my own home network.
I have auto redirect to 443. But --nginx works fine. I think it overrides stuff for whatever the specific url used is.
There’s a certbot addon which uses nginx directly to renew the certificate (so you don’t need to stop the web server to renew). If you install the addon you just use the same certbot commands but with --nginx instead and it will perform the actions without interfering with web server operation.
You just then make sure the cron job to renew also includes --nginx and you’re done.
It makes sense that they issue short certificates, though. The sole verification is that you own the domain. If you sell/let the domain lapse and someone else takes it over, there’s only a limited time you would hold a valid certificate for it.
You realize there’s 8 billion people on the planet? The majority of people either didn’t (or luckily for them still don’t) know who this guy is.
Ah, so the kind of crypto bro, that instead of a fistbump, does a diffie-hellman key exchange instead?
That’s got to be extremely rare. Not much you can do in that case. But they will hit many problems with that approach.
I mean, while they can block most things, to give people a usable experience they’re going to allow http and https traffic through, and they can’t really proxy https because of the TLS layer.
So for universal chance of success, running openvpn tcp over port 443 is the most likely to get past this level of bad. I guess they could block suspicious traffic in the session before TLS is established (in order to block certain domains). OpenVPN does support traversing a proxy, but it might only work if you specify it. If their network sets a proxy via DHCP, maybe you could see that and work around it.
I did have fun working around an ex gf’s university network many years ago to get a VPN running over it. They were very, very serious about blocking non-standard services. A similar “through” the proxy method was the last resort they didn’t seem to bother trying to stop.
I don’t think users should reward the behaviour. If they actually lost money because of these decisions, they would stop making those decisions.
But, we both know enough people will bend over and take it.
But, in terms of cost it can be a good move. It’s just for us, it makes at best, no difference.
Pretty much how it always works with business.
Technically, no. The last few have been significantly below either measure of inflation. So in real terms, I’ve had a wage cut!
