Re:Passkeys Are Not a Trap
on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @12:55PM (#50090840)
I don't want passkeys. I want to stop being bothered with setting up passkeys, especially if I already have 2FA setup, and definitely if I already have a hardware fido key on the account.

End it.
Make reselling tickets illegal again overall.
Allow resale within 5 days of the show only (for those that genuinely can't make it), and for face value+original fees only.

It's not just excess bandwidth. It's cpu cycles, poor site coding, database issues. Like I said, not everything is backed by a huge company that has the money/hardware/engineering resources to absorb the load.

This is really unacceptable folks. There are those of us that have to keep these sites up, and it's seriously been a few years of nightmare scrapers and botnets, and stupid things like this that you are trying to legitimize that will make this worse. If a site doesn't want you, you should go away. There's a reason for it. Not every website is backed by a billion/trillion dollar company with the resources to absorb things.

WCMesh in California covers a few hundred miles of southern California on Meshcore.... That isn't flat. It really just depends on buy-in in the local region.

Yes, revalue gold. No, do not buy bitcoin with it.
Absolutely, ms365 too. Definitely a worthwhile tool, and if you have a big job or do it more than once a year you should purchase it.

Re:Do you need ID to read the REAL-ID rules?
on Monday November 25, 2024 @06:45PM (#42241265)
Real-ID is such a farce. I have had an ID since I was 15, and presented my birth certificate and ssn as a minor to do so. There is no instance where I am not "real".
I have a US Passport that took less effort and paperwork to get than a Real-ID. I will never submit.

For what it's worth, we're trying to do a lot of our server upgrades with the Elevate scripting to Almalinux, but man can it be a pain. We have a 30% success rate in testing, and even when it goes right it tends to be 2-3 hours of downtime. The alternative though is to rebuild every server on spare hardware and manually migrate data and configurations over. So it's still a better option once we can figure it out. I'm hoping to get downtime <1hr and >90% success rate before we start really pushing through these by April.

It's as simple as consolidation... If there is only 1 or even 2 companies in an industry, both are probably shitheads, and it doesn't pay to be the loss leader, otherwise you may end up gobbled up, you both grab what you can while possible.

If we had high speed rail, areas along the rail line would be better suited to have people live along the route, and distributing housing affordability across a larger area. See the Shinkansen in Japan as a good example.
