  • If you do self host I suggest reading carefully the Gmail guidelines for mails. They are the leaders in the field and they dictate the level of security required.

    DNS forward and reverse, DKIM, SPF, DMARC, ARC, DANE, bounce signature etc. Email is indeed a very complicated thing to host. I work on emails system all day and and I wouldn't host my own mail.

    Even worse I'm hoping email disappear and another technology takes it place. Emails are unreliable and outdated, they need to go.

  • It affects secrecy a bit but you still have to take at least two different ballots into the voting booth. Obviously you are bringing your own ballot and taking one already printed so it's not really a secret.

    Also there was taped garbage bags in the voting booth so that people can throw away their discarded ballots but that's also a great way to show what every else has been voting before me...

    I still think our voting system is quite ok but there are definitely flaws.

  • I would have voted for the Pirate Party if there was a ballot for them.

    Didn't print it beforehand so I couldn't.

    Last time I printed my own ballot they just didn't count it and my vote was considered invalid. Even though I had the exact size required by regulations...

  • There should be laws and fines for this.

    Here in France you can technically be fined for not securing properly your wifi. It was put in place by something called HADOPI which tries to catch movies shared on torrents. Unsurprisingly, the lobby of record labels managed to even make sure you couldn't pretend someone hacked your wifi and downloaded illegally. But I'm sure the same bill but applied to businesses wouldn't ever pass.

    Businesses could leak all your sensitive data and they won't get anything beside bad PR but a single french citizen not proficient enough to secure his wifi may get in trouble.

  • If there is one thing I secure as much as possible it's my main email address.

    If you think about it that's the most important account of all.

    If you lose it, every account using this mail as recovery is also pwned.

    I understand this is frustrating but I agree with others that there is not much else discord could do.

  • I don't think so.

    If they only relied on the sensor it would constantly turn on and off which is something I have never seen on that kind of faucets. I think there is always a delay before shutting down but sometimes that delay is set so low that it feels like you need to constantly activate the sensor.

    Edit: clarification: What I meant is that if you just move once your hand in front of the sensor it should remain ON longer than just the time your hand was detected. I have never seen a sensor that literally activates only to the millisecond when something is moving. Even just to prevent false activation for half a second you kind of need a delay in there. If not you could have a 100ms activation that doesn't even have the time to let the water out by opening the faucet and you create unnecessary wear on the valve system. My point being it never really makes sense in engineering to have a button or sensor direct output used. Usually you have mechanisms to prevent "bouncing" and so on. But I'm no plumber so it is just assumptions.

  • Is it possible that this password was really your gf's password in the past ? It could have leaked long ago and the hacker just decided to use a previously leaked pass to be more inconspicuous.

    I don't think this whole story is so wild, it could be just coincidental. The hacker knew somehow about her DOB and thought this would be an easy password.

    Rest assured a hacker wouldn't want to use their own password or reuse even one as that could link to previous nefarious activity. So they had to set up a brand new password just to move forward. So they set up anything personal they could get their hands on.

    PS: you should check haveIbeenPwned for the address of your gf.

  • Zabbix still remains a good choice imo. It works fine with Grafana et now the Zabbix-grafana plugin is officially supported by Grafana.

    Zabbix without Grafana is pretty weak in term of visualization.

  • Management at Blizzard changing the game direction every other day, acting like headless chickens.

    • Maybe our few remaining players would like to play an RTS game within OW
    • Ok boss, reassigning all devs to this work

    < Two months later >

    • It appears our RTS mode for Overwatch didn't resonate with our competitive FPS playerbase
    • ¯(ツ)That's too bad, maybe they want a flight simulator mode ? Or a fishing sim like mode, that would definitely resonate with players

    What a bunch of idiots without any common sense. Leadership positions for the worst people.

  • Also as DDG is based in the US it is most likely legally bound to give your informations to any agency with a nice gag order on top of it.

    I can't imagine any serious privacy oriented business to be headquartered in the US.

    The whole better privacy is true with DDG but certainly not to the extent people would like to think.

    That being said DDG has decent search results and is slightly better than Google for privacy. Google is an ecosystem so every little bit you don't give them is a success.

    It's really too bad we don't have good private search engines..

  • We don't have many big fast food chains here in France.

    But MacDo seem to be indeed the only one trying to be decent.

    The staff is still very much underpaid/overworked but at least they try to reduce their waste and improve the quality of the food.

    Still a soulless corporation but it seems they are actually doing things pretty well.
