It'll be like radar detector detector detectors, which were a thing for a while. Each side (cops, speeder) buying detectors to detect the detectors.

There's a Judas Priest joke in here somewhere.

Why do you think the alliance with the Ukraine, to make millions of drones per year for them, the most highly sophisticated drones designed by the most battle-hardened country on the planet, is important for Canada?

Those drones won't just be protecting the Ukraine.

You should move to one of those fancy pants islands France has off the coast of Canada, sire some kids, and add more confusing tales.

Strangely, I've heard this a lot, yet everyone describing it lays out their goals, and what they think it should be.

And talks of working towards those goals.

Nothing is mysterious here, it's just a new thing. We'll work it out, and once we do, we'll go from there.

As Buckeroo Bonsai said,

"No matter where you go, there you are!"

Any less secure backup method, means others are less secure.

A required “more secure” method is less secure if it means you can be locked out by not-exactly-uncommon real-life situations.

Denial of service is a security issue.

I’ve repeated it a hundred times security = confidentiality, integrity and availability.

One reason to strongly prefer Apple over Google is that (as I understand it) you can still walk into a store with ID and recover your online identity.

yes, i understand. i was asking specifically whether google has sms recovery flow, not how secure sms recovery flow is compared to other options.

Google actually puts effort into security for "normal" people who don't want to earn a PhD in cryptography just to have a damn free email account or watch Mr. Beast

That's why they had powerful and effective account takeover protection even 15 years ago. The kind that will prevent the hacker from taking over your account even though they got access to all your factors, because it shouldn't take expertise to know that if you logged in from Oregon twenty minutes ago, you definitely aren't also logging in from Ecuador.

Which of course makes it all the more stupid that your credit card company, all your medical service providers, and Facebook don't meet that absurdly low bar. Facebook will happily hand control to the scammer in Laos who got one of your factors and somehow that gave them access to change your password and recovery email

The best backup method doesn't need any computer knowledge, it's writing down or printing a few passwords and putting that piece of paper in the same box as your taxes or birth certificate.

Restart should be a very last emergency step, as if it works, a restart often might wipe out evidence of why.

So hopefully it's not done often.

The requirement is to get customers out of impact as #1 priority. If there's suspicions around memory/thread states a restart makes a lot of sense. Digging through logs and flight records takes a lot of time, customers are losing business in that time. If you're afraid to restart your service you need to work on your telemetry.

I wouldn't say so, rather you need to balance recovery time and evidence preservation. A good incident manager will give the service owning team a chance or two to debug, but not let them fall into the trap of needing to understand the problem fully before attempt a clumsy potential fix. And of course will take into account the total business impact of the ongoing disruption and the known and unknown risks of the proposed clumsy fix (it could make things worse).

Yes, that's why it's the last emergency step. We're not disagreeing.

Rebooting is the first step: If it fixes it you don't have a problem. If it doesn't, you know more about the problem.

It's a joke, but like, after nearly two decades of engineering I have something break on me, due to updates. I figure the updates broke it, call the vendor, and they go... did you try rebooting it again?

Rebooting it a second time fixed it.

If you mean after facing bitter defeat, being broken into two nations, being controlled directly by foreign powers for years (and on one side decades), paying reparations, its upper political class and collaborators seized, jailed, trialed, and the free side being afraid of annexation by Russia, having nazism and any artifacts outlawed, then yes.

Yes, after all and more, no future Hitler has yet emerged.

Unless you see these things happening soon, then not really a good comparison.

I want to know the person who grows the celery seeds.

I bought a box 37 years ago, a tiny little box, and I've been using it to season soups, almost weekly that whole time.

There can't be more than one guy that grows those seeds, for the entire planet! So my questions are, first who is this guy, and second is the in the EU?

Also, has anybody else noticed this?

And if you think buying his celery seed farm, don't. It's a very limiting market.

Upstream for much is Debian, but of course Ubuntu forks from testing, and then modifies...

But if you can identify it as a bug in a version in Debian, that's a good place to file, as Ubuntu will get the fix eventually.

All media orgs have X accounts, and see such things. And posts on X are in the news regularly.

So I don't think experimentation is an angle.

Then you are not thinking very much.

Media does report on far-right output on twitter sometimes, but not often. And when they do, it often boosts the message instead.

It's the same mechanism as how Donald Trump originally got elected.

...and at the same time, they are focus-testing extremist messaging.

Stop with the personal attacks. You can disagree with my assessments, without claiming I "dont think much".

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

I'm sorry.

The purpose was to underline that catering to the far-right and providing them with a space try out messaging is not a very hidden aspect of X.

I didn't mean to imply that you don't think in general.

Thank you.
