@GossiTheDog certificate expiry

DIY… what?! #StraightOuttaShenzen

@GossiTheDog I was able to keep a ticket open with Oracle for 2 years until a confirmed bug got fixed. Something along the lines of “we are tracking this ticket to ensure the fix is delivered, please keep it open until fixed” usually works pretty well.

@GossiTheDog “please keep this case open until the fix is delivered” “please transfer this case to the team responsible, and don’t close it until the fix is delivered” etc.

Insisting that the ticket stays open will drive them nuts because eventually it’s a red light on someone’s dashboard, and it’ll get escalated after a while…

@GossiTheDog “swap VPN vendors to one that doesn’t suck” LMAO there isn’t one

I wonder what would happen if a Black African Pope was chosen? At the very least the USA would completely and utterly lose their collective fucking minds.

@whitequark what’s that acronym? FAST?

Can you give me a big smile?

Can you raise both your arms?

Guess I’d better dump all the shares that my USA-based employer has given me instead of actual money before they’re worth nothing.

OH: The monkey is wet. I don’t know why the monkey is wet. I don’t WANT TO know why the monkey is wet.

@tithonium @foone and they have a built in web server that runs on that interface to drag&drop files between the device and your big computer

@azonenberg I want a PnP machine, mainly so I can stare at it while it works

@mike *mashes boost button so hard it breaks off*

@gsuberland lol, “once per day” scripts that take more than one day to run but don’t gate themselves from multiple copies of itself running

Anyone feel like tearing down an obviously fake “256TB SSD”? #StraightOuttaShenzen

@xssfox same thing with gmail -> mail.google.com

@hacks4pancakes lolno, I assume the folks who say that have never left the town they grew up in

… how did this ever work? One of the files needed wasn’t even installed

@projectgus kind of sort of not really: kind of because a single /64 is almost guaranteed to represent a small number of people (at most a couple of hundred in an office or something), and it’s recommended that an ISP delegates aleast a /56 per customer (so you get 256 /64’s to play with). Sort of being that because the address range of a /64 is so large you can just turn on IPv6 privacy addresses for outbound new connections and jump between mostly-random addresses in your /64, which will obfuscate individual machines inside the subnet. And not really because programmers do not give a single shit about IPv6 and it’s unlikely their per-IP tracking works in IPv6 anyway.

@ariadne libpcre has a lot of crimes to answer for
