Oh man. I have an open minecraft server for my kids and their friends. Every few weeks I have someone show up to the server leaving notes or interacting with us trying to educate me on whitelisting.
I get more "educators" than i do bots. It's actually quite annoying. I dont know what accounts these kids login with, you're not educating me. The server is literally for 6-8 year olds. It's been wiped 100s of times. I don't care. Stop. The server is grief resistant anyway. And my ban list is long (and getting at least one longer). /little rant
LMFAO. And when I tell people to take care about leaving Jellyfin public with their open API endpoint issues... Yeah Sony WILL abuse your shit... They already do it.
Outlets dont really have an orientation. Shouldnt matter which direction the power is flowing as long as you dont exceed 80% the rating of the lowest denominator of the circuit. 800 watts shouldn't really hurt any circuits, even the 10amp ones which is about the smallest I think I've ever seen here.
Backfeeding is only illegal in the sense of safety requirements to my knowledge. These panels dont feed when grid is off (embedded ATS). Which satisfies safety (UL would just need to approve, but likely wouldn't until the last item below is addressed). At just 800 watts... I doubt you'd ever backfeed anyway. And if you do, good luck collecting any money for it. But to that point, I backfeed 15kW batteries during peak hours. Above and beyond my solar setup... they can't really say anything about it. But I go full island when grid is down, which sadly happens often even though I'm in a major metro area.
Lower cost of energy does make it a harder sell overall but that wasn't really the question. These panels are also significantly cheaper since you dont need to pay install fees and such. The equation is a bit different.
The only real hiccup is the nature of our phased systems here... a solar panel in a single outlet will only feed one phase.That's a problem. One that probably makes it a nonstarter as people simply wont install 240v outlets on their patios/balconies. But I don't think Ive seen a law that says backfeed illegal, but illegal to cause safety issues on dead grid (eg. you must have an ATS or main service lockout). Do you have a source on illegality outside ot ATS/lockout requirement?
Sorry, but we're still going to agree to disagree. Unfortunately, we can't just make up definitions and have a discussion while in complete disagreement on the definition of the word we're discussing.
Shame is WHY someone would be driven to pursue insight and self-reflection. Insight in of itself isn't something that people just attain with no other factors.
Had they been taught the implications that alcohol has on your near-term health and consciousness instead, they might have been wise enough to not drink too much out of themselves. :)
Okay? What does this have to do with shame or the current conversation? I would argue that most kids hit the hard wall of realization the morning after and have some shame about the events of the night prior... Many kids realize their shame and gain insight through self-reflection. Some wont learn anything at all... Partially because some people simply have no shame, or simply have no will to self-reflect and grow... I would argue that your own example proves my point and shows that shame is an important part of growth. Others will learn "properly" about the health risks and still not care and conduct themselves in a shameful way regardless.
Shame requires some amount of morals, integrity, and honor. Otherwise you'd fail to feel any semblance of the guilt or impropriety of your own actions. Stating that someone should be ashamed is akin to saying "you're acting without integrity/morals if you conduct yourself this way". If telling people that they're doing the wrong thing and should feel bad about it is now "banned" then you're just going to have people doing whatever they want with no social feedback at all. You can't develop the culture of habits that you're looking for unless society can police social interactions in some form.
You seem to be under some belief that with sufficient education people will just be "good" and do the "right thing" and we don't require any other pressure from any other social format to maintain the norm... That's wishful thinking IMO.
Then agree to disagree. I can reflect on a number of points in my life where I've decided that I did the wrong thing. I hold shame for those actions and use that to hold myself to better standards now. Guilt and regret is part of shame.
1a: a painful emotion caused by consciousness of guilt, shortcoming, or impropriety
Even in your context of bringing shame to people, or attempting to impart guilt and disgrace... That's an important metric to build the exact culture of habits that you're advocating for. Most people don't care if they litter in the park. It's only after you guilt them into it that they'll do it.
But no point in going any further into this conversation. It's clear your mind is made. Have a good weekend.
Shame is an emotion. You can't abolish an emotion. And shame is an emotion that a lot of people use to regulate themselves. This is a silly statement on it's face. All emotions are irrational. Are you advocating for banning emotions?
There is a good reason that old men shouldn't touch young women. Shame is one emotion that likely regulates many of those men from never doing it. Such that they would feel shame should they do such an action.
If you can't agree on that, then I'm failing to understand your point or we simply agree to disagree.
That's some dangerous assumptions you're making here... Just because there's a vocal minority that seems to fit the painting you've pictured doesn't mean that it's valid. It could easily be argued the complete opposite that those who had shame about the incident would hold onto it, internalize it... and never talk about it again. It can easily go both ways here.
But my statement was more of an answer to the implicit question of "why did I get the lifelong lesson when the others around me clearly didn't?"... That answer could be because a lot of people just don't feel shame. Doesn't have to be "they gotta be really slow or something". They didn't get the lesson... they felt no shame.
The entire Crux of your argument is that you don’t see the message arrive as an email.
This isn't a Crux... All of the mail gateways work this way.
Fun fact those are actually emailed most of the time. MMS format your phonenumber@carrier.tld
You stated this... You stated that it's phonenumber@carriergateway.
This is how they work. They show the email address.
I have never once stopped to ask which phone carrier the cx is using.
This doesn't even jive with your initial statement... how do you fill in the carrier.tld part if you have no idea what carrier the customer is on?
Your own story doesn't make sense anymore.
Yet mysteriously they can all receive the texts that I’m sending via an email.
And yet I've shown you MILLIONS of customers in the US alone, direct from the carrier, that will not receive that message as that service DOES NOT exist for them outright... This is literally 1/3 of the US, with another 1/3 that is likely opt-in.
Edit:
Yet mysteriously they can all receive the texts that I’m sending via an email.
Yes, because you're not doing it the way you claim you're doing it... I've already told you that the way it's done in industry is through SMS services like twilio or through registered short-code services. And those are API interactions, not email. You're not using the carrier gateway service. These services have strict KYC requirements that the email gateways never did. You might make your own gateway for email bridging, but at that point it's not the phonenumber@carrier.tld that you've claimed, and that email bridge that you develop would be a registered short-code/phone number and interact as a normal SMS/MMS message. I wouldn't suspect this based on your explanation either as it wouldn't take hours for your own email bridge to handle an email from your own infrastructure, or if it does... your IT team probably sucks (probably not even by their own fault). This wouldn't require you to know the carrier the user is on since twilio would just be translating/sending it as a normal SMS/MMS. https://www.twilio.com/en-us/blog/build-sms-email-bridge-python-fastapi-twilio as an example. But once again... this has nothing do with your claimed phonenumber@carrier.tld function which is the carrier sms gateway which doesn't work as you've stated these days.
Which would make sense from a censorship point of view as jailbreaks would be a problem. Just a filter/check before the result is returned for *tiananmen* is a much harder to break thing than guaranteeing the LLM doesn't get jailbroken/hallucinate.
You can use something and still fundamentally not understand it...
Here's an example of a message that's send the way you describe. Note the fully shown email address in the from field at the top.
And here's a real 2fa short code message. This was not send via email, this was a registered shortcode number that would be registered with your telephone provider.
Notice that the real 2fa message doesn't show a full email address as the sender?
If your company is relying on the sms/mms mail gateways, then you are not going to be able to reach most of your clients. Here's the top 5 carriers in the USA.
Verizon (146 Million users) was opt-in for me (I had to turn it on in order to get my cloudflare alerts to work, can't rely on email when I'm specifically monitoring the email server). For those who have Verizon, text "status" to 4040 to see if your gateway is active! (https://www.verizon.com/about/account-security/email-to-text-faqs). Though it is entirely possible that it's no longer opt-in or has changed defaults over time... possible even repeatedly, my account is very old...
T-mobile's (131 million users) gateway is opt-out last I checked. Meaning that a lot of people will find it once after getting some spam and turn it off.
Boost (7 million) mobile relies on AT&T... See above.
US Cellular (4.4 million) - looks like it's working.
These are the five biggest carriers in the USA, with 3 of them default to "no"... If you're trusting this function to work for your users, then you're in the wrong from an IT perspective.
Another reason you know that most companies do not use this mechanism for 2fa... 2fa pins expire. Can't send 2fa pins that take "A couple of hours" to arrive when that pin expires in 10-15 minutes for most services.
Most sms texts come from registered services like twilio (https://www.twilio.com/en-us/messaging/channels/sms/short-codes), ez texting, salesmsg, textmagic, simple texting, slicktext, textla, etc... For the ones I've interacted with, you use their APIs to send messages, and the messages always come from a shortcode or normal phone number, never from an email address. I've never... ever ever... received an MFA pin from an email address. Always short codes or full phone numbers.
Deeply incorrect as most carriers have the SMS/MMS gateways disabled by default. Eg, you have to enable that function on Verizon.
Also you'd see an email as the sending party, not a phone number/shortcode
Depending on how far you're rewiring... You might want to look into a https://www.span.io/. I installed one when I installed solar (and whole house battery). It's been great for me. Integrates nicely into HA, and with HA now doing parent-child power montoring, I can see the whole break and break out specific loads that I want more information on with the zwave modules I already had.
So I refute one specific point of your argument. Another commenter even says they were outright denied. And your sane and rational response is "well that doesn't matter" and you downvote me even though I was adding to the topic/discussion that you brought up?
Grow up dude.
Unfortunately for your case, you're still wrong. But that won't change your mind regardless and I'm not interested in talking to someone who acts the way you are.
You assume that those links would work. Kids machines have DNS whitelists.
I'm not worried.
