Ah, yes, I should judge the browser by whether it strips arbitrary query parameters from links by default, because there’s no way that’ll break something, and if it uses encrypted DNS by default when… “connecting from Brazil”, because that’s definitely a good test of a browser.
Jet says the following
If you want https it’s gotta be a external DNS record anyway, might as well point to internal ips
My point is, the A record, the one pointing to an IP address, doesn’t need to be public/external, it’s not needed for the wildcard cert, so it can be kept internal.
I’m mentioning the other challenge trying to make it clear why the record matters for that, and not for a wildcard cert, sorry if that just made things more confusing.
The point is, the challenge doesn’t require a public DNS A record pointing to your IP, it’s not involved in issuing a wildcard certificate. It requires you to control DNS records for the domain to issue a temporary TXT or something record to prove it, one which you can remove afterwards. This was my point in the original comment.
It’s A and AAAA records that are used when you open a website in a browser to map the domain to an IP address, the ones I’m saying don’t need to be public.
The challenge dosent require your site to be public only the DNS to be public.
And just to be clear, that was describing a different kind of challenge, the simpler one which most people probably use, and which does actually involve A records.
I’m a bit confused by what you’re saying, because to my knowledge the DNS entry you’re mentioning won’t help with getting a certificate at all. Challenges will typically require either having the DNS entry point to a publicly reachable website (doesn’t get you wildcard) or proving the ability to modify records for the domain by adding something like a TXT record on the fly, which shouldn’t require A/AAAA records.
So you should be able to do the second type of challenge without a global A record to get a wildcard certificate, and use local DNS for the A record?
If you want https it’s gotta be a external DNS record anyway
Not sure what you mean by that, but off the top of my head, you can get certificates via challenges that prove DNS control (rather than checking if the DNS points to your server), and you can get wildcard certificates so you don’t even have to expose the existence of subdomains.
And that’s ignoring the option of using your own CA, which only really works with your own devices, but for local access might be viable.
It’s surprisingly simple, if you have two cameras side by side, you’re capturing two images where the camera is moved horizontally relative to the subject. If you now instead take two pictures where you move the subject horizontally relative to the camera, you’re achieving the same effect on the subject in the images. This means you won’t get a correct effect on every video, and the background will be unaffected, but it can work.
Recently I’ve just been using it to pay with (instead of a separate physical card), but when I get my ID updated I believe I can use it to scan the chip inside to verify my identity. I’ll be honest, I think back then I was seeing NFC stuff pop up more often, but not sure if it was a passing trend or if I’ve just not been using stuff where it’d be useful.
Arguably you’re still giving google money, by funding the next google phone for the person who previously bought a google phone :P
Though I’d imagine buying a used phone is still a better choice than buying a new one, even if it’s theoretically funding a better company.
Huh, that makes me wonder, last time I upgraded was fairphone 4, and that’s because my previous phone didn’t have NFC, which is very useful nowadays, and it seems to have been a model released in 2017. Did I make a bad choice on my previous phone, or do you not have that either?
IIRC he was telling people to spam sponsorblock with fake segments, because in some videos he had parts where he just stopped discussing the topic and talked to his (sickly?) cat when it came by, and people were accurately marking those segments as offtopic or whatever it’s called. He was presenting it as evil sponsorblock blocking his sick elderly cat. I could try to find a link later when I’m at my PC.
Other than that, he’s generally alarmist and arrogant, but I do appreciate him and what he’s doing.
I think a more reasonable assumption (than trying to destroy the fediverse) would be marketing or propaganda - somebody creates users using LLMs, gets them accepted, legitimizes them by generating interactions, then either sells the accounts or uses them to sell a service to have them promote something, with a history that looks like a real user.
The screenshot looks like it might be a cloudflare verification page, which would put another layer of separation between the site owner and the QR system.
People looking up alternatives doesn’t mean they actually want to use them. Switching to an alternative necessarily means some pains, in terms of changed interface, functionality, and community. You can’t just magically switch between platforms and have all the people follow you there, and that’s a dealbreaker for many.
As far as I know, the fediverse is growing, just not explosively. We can hope that at some point it reaches a threshold that convinces a lot of people to move over, cementing it as a “proper” platform.
That’s presumably (and hopefully) not GenAI, but a much lighter classification model built with the sole purpose of judging if an image is problematic, I have no problem with those.

Reminds me of a recent xkcd: https://xkcd.com/3201
One point on perception - doesn’t the sun appear somewhat yellow because the blue light has a stronger tendency to scatter, meaning that the roughly white light of the sun is less blue, with all the blue color of the sky being taken away from the color of the sun?
I’ve gotten such symptoms before when running out of RAM - I’m on Arch and never bothered setting anything up for that instance and I’m not sure what’s going on, but I think the system is struggling to recover memory or something before it resorts to killing processes, and would sometimes freeze for a minute like that.
That said, yeah… Kernel modules (which device drivers often are) are allowed to run at a higher level of privilege, with less oversight, more access to hardware and better performance, so if they misuse that privilege they can break things badly. And with proprietary drivers, you have no idea or control of what it’s actually doing, so you can only try to downgrade or wait and hope the company fixes it.
Hell, I’ll deadass reheat my food mid-meal if it starts going cold, so I can enjoy the last bits just as much.
I’m guessing there’s more extreme errors than this example, but for “bat” and “car”, “b” is two keys to the right from “c” and “t” is one letter to the right from “r”, so that one seems plausible to typo.
