Kemming is 100 level preparedness.

They need to up their game to cover internationalized homograph vulnerabilities, using roughly similar characters from different international alphabets to create totally different domain names:

example.com
exаmple.com

They look identical but are entirely different.

South Park should have fun with this.

Happy with Proton here as well.

Update: I just wish they would stop consistently disappointing me.

Paraphrasing from elsewhere…

Here are some thoughtful questions I’d like to see the US Senate-hopeful from Iowa, Josh Turek, receive during this campaign season:

• Would he shake the hand of a person who is HIV-positive? Would he use the same toilet after them?

• What does he think about gay couples adopting children?

• What does he think about public schools employing homosexual men as teachers?

These are all bad faith questions, loyalty tests, that were once lobbed at politicians. Their effectiveness relied on the inaccurate and undeniably cruel presumptions that gay people are inherently unclean or unfit to care for children.

For a while this worked. Fearful of abandonment by a prejudiced constituency, would-be leaders hemmed and hawed and furrowed their brows at these kinds of questions. At best, they would find strategic ways to dodge them. At worst, they would give in to laziness, play along with those cruel presumptions and pander to a popular false narrative.

Eventually all of those narrative were found to be false, cynically constructed to prey upon fears against those who can not help but look and act different than the majority. It took the bravery of millions of people, risking their livelihoods and relationships, sharing their inner lives and living their truths to shatter those falsehoods. It took a lot more than a single child’s insight to prove that emperor was wearing no clothes.

And here we go again. Another time, another false narrative: segregating transgender girls is fair and right.

This may feel like it makes sense, just as it may feel risky to use the same toilet seat as a person with a life-impacting sexually transmitted infection. But in both cases, two important facts cut them down to size: a) they’re both completely false, and b) the scenarios presented aren’t happening often enough for any of it to matter in the first place. They’re veiled attempts to codify prejudice into law, plain and simple.

Please instruct Senate-hopeful Turek that his party is not the one that does that.

and for the lulz

I hope this political ad gets aired far and wide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gt_IZoM9KuQ

Sorry, I expect consequences for every motherfucker spending the last 2 years blatantly flaunting the law before healthcare.

All the employee handbook stuff about the customer profile is pretty telling.

“From extensive surveys, we know a lot about our customers and why they shop at Trader Joe’s. They are not necessarily affluent or rich, but they are generally well educated. In fact, 80% of our customers either have attended college, graduated from college, or have post-graduate degrees. Remember this when you speak to them. When the TV networks bemoan the fact that their viewership is declining, they’re talking about Trader Joe’s customers. Our target customer is intelligent and well-educated. These are common denominators. Our customers are people who are interested in new things and new ideas. They are in an inquisitive lot. They read the New Yorker, not People magazine. They travel. We have to keep them interested and challenged. To do this, we have to run a fashion food business.”

This describes basically zero customers I know who shop at Trader Joe’s.

However, I would absolutely believe that this describes their aspirations. This is how Trader Joe’s customers want to think about themselves.

And if you’re a national grocery chain, and you don’t mind your wage slaves getting a bit of brainwashing to serve your clientele (“̆'§ †ïmê †ð §hïñê!”), teaching how to heartlessly blow smoke up somebody’s ass is a lot easier and more consistent than fostering genuine interpersonal skills. Besides, they might use those to form a union.

I’m curious about Carlin’s thoughts here.

Jake & Elwood had their own songs, sure, but at no point in the movie were Charles, Franklin, Cab Calloway, James Brown or John Lee Hooker ever “singing backup”. In fact, all their on-screen time and songs appeared to be explicit showcases of the real musicians, with Jake & Elwood only dancing in the background.

I grew up with the tv edit of the movie and saw it a ton. It did a lot more to help expose my young suburban-white-kid ears to those musicians rather than disgrace them IMO.

Aren’t warrants a matter of public record?

This calls for a piping bag or something only slightly more rigid like a kewpie mayo bottle. You aren’t going to get more than a few squeezes out of that water bottle.

What kind of monster does this without butter?

Where “Probing” is asking their legal LLMs to find case law that supports their horseshit crybaby tantrums against press freedoms.

Cloudflare is a content distribution network (CDN). I’ve worked for a few for a long time.

When you run a website, you’re responsible for serving up web responses to every web request. Depending on the level of traffic that your website receives, that can involve paying for a lot of hardware infrastructure, plus a ton of money in hosting and transit costs.

So instead of buying a bunch of server hardware outright or paying long-term leases for cloud-based resources, you can use a CDN. CDNs have tons and tons of servers in data centers all over the world, all designed to hold onto a cached copy of your website data and serve it to customers. Because CDNs operate at a global scale, they get better deals on transit costs, plus traffic can be served from machines closer to where the end-user request is coming from so requests get fulfilled faster and with fewer errors.

There are a bunch of different CDNs out there: Cloudflare, Akamai, Amazon CloudFront, Fastly, plus plenty that specialize regionally (which can be important in network-constrained regions and restrictive countries).

Cloudflare tends to be a popular option due to speed, ease of integration and pricing.

The web acceleration component of the CDN business model isn’t in a growth state right now. The web is entirely flooded with machine agents and bots generating traffic that website owners have to pay for, so there’s big business in putting up roadblocks to prevent bot traffic (like Cloudflare’s annoying ‘are you a human?’ checks).
