Monkey With A Shell

It’s in the old feudal sense, your sovereign demands tribute…

The point isn’t to make people infuriated/sick…

Open version called vault warden lets you put 2FA in the app. That said, I’m not of the camp that wants to put their password and code generator in the same place so I still use Aegis for the tokens.

I guess that’s hard to say without the benefit of time behind it. Part of why you see some brands show up over and over though is that they have the history to back up the claims and plenty often those places are not going to risk that reputation of reliability to cheap out on the quality now.

To a large extent I tend to think the same way I was taught with cars, simple is sturdy. Skip the fancy features and WiFi widgets and you’ll replace things a lot less often. It’s not always practical, but I’m willing to bet my cast iron cookware is going to be in roughly the same shape far longer than some stamped sheet metal with anti stick coating and a glass lid.

The talk of herding cats comes to mind…

In the particular one that came to mind if I recall correctly was a badly configured distro list that let anyone reply to it. Normally broadcast lists like that would be reserved for people on a special comms team, but the permissions didn’t get restricted properly.

I’ve read of a couple small places. Was a coffee shop in the cities around here where they guy running it for 20+ years wanted to get out and the staff decided that rather than a new owner they would raise funds to buy it. Sort of run like a direct democracy with some rules based on seniority and such.

Yeah, the IT folks in charge of that are doing so at gunpoint. Had someone do that at a giant size corp and the chain of events goes like this.

Email to all gets sent

A few people wonder why they are getting messages not related to their role and reply all to be taken off a list.

Those reply-all get replicated to the same few hundred thousand boxes causing stress on the system.

You well meaning college sends out a reminder via reply-all that you shouldn’t reply-all.

Because those few transactions created somewhere in the order of 2-3 million emails in a short time the servers have a backed up que to chew through causing some people to get things out of order, so maybe they get a ‘take me off the list’ after the fist ‘stop replying all’, now this person decides to help reinforce the ‘stop replying all’ with their own message of the same.

Rinse and repeat until the servers are entirely unable to operate and you need to find a way to flush the cache.

BONUS: Because this is the federal government you can bet that several entities they have contracts with would have automatic relays to distribute incoming messages to required teams for quick responses, so there’s a good chance the effect bleeds into private businesses too because Donnie & Musky will demand that ALL means everyone in the federal contacts list.

Sneezing when I eat too much, typically 3 times.

Like most anything P2P scale, consistency, and adoption are huge factors.

Don’t know about social media, but sites exist in systems like this: https://zeronet.io/

It’s a nice thing, but not a metric that I’m gonna brag about.

Trump solving problems at large.

If you’re in a city sure. Those tiny scooters have been pretty popular it seems. Out in the corn fields less so, when every little hub of a few small shops is at least 5 miles apart that might get a bit annoying.

Men’s grocery stores? Real conservatives know their woman is supposed to do all that cooking and kitchen work. /S

Finally, some useful information out of ChatGPT

But can it run DOOM?

Similar to Friendica, personal page style fediverse software.

I kind of liked hubzilla last I dabbled in one of those type apps.

ShredOS, lovely little USB boot system that you can use to wipe a drive like that. I would usually go with a 3 pass cleaning. Another option can be to use something like veracrypt to do an in place whole disk encryption that’ll make anything on it unreadable.
