Not that I know too much about Cloudflare in general, not my job to configure it but I know we use it a lot because it is on most of our websites these days.
 
I'm not a fan of CDNs overall.
I mean I see why they can be necessary...

@forest Yeah as with any big tech company, I guess.

Wait, how is LetsEncrypts organisation setup?

They're a company, right?

Not like a non-profit or something?

They're a non-profit.
Truly wonderful, imo.

Oh.
 
They're supported heavily by Mozilla and the EFF.

I didn't know that. That is really nice, yeah.
 
And the Snowden revelations were actually a huge impetus for their creation.

Yeah, that is super cool. I always assumed they were a company.

Not to mention StartCom (aka WoSign, the CA that has free certs) getting permab& by all the browsers lol. Since then only Comodo had free certs and they suck. So LE came around and actually gives free certs that are useful and easy to deploy with automation. They greatly increased TLS usage.

Made me want to switch to GitLab for good. But perhaps they have the same thing, I am not sure.
 
Controversial opinion: 2FA is overrated (at least for the security-conscious folks).

That is very controversial, I use it everywhere :D

@forest For a single tunnel cycle, I can say that the recovery is 100%. It'd take 10s of seconds of tunneling to make it so I cannot see a difference. I can read down to 20fA, that's super small. We are dealing with so few electrons, there's a probability issue with the work function.
neato. I'm now very curious to see how SED is implemented!

My entire computer is 2fa :D
 
12:11 AM
@forest I just do 2FA so I feel like the money I paid for a YubiKey isn't wasted
Honestly, my twitter account has like a handful of followers who all just followed me because I occasionally retweet cosplay pictures
What value is that for an attacker?

I use 2FA because I am... Paranoid.

SAO is the only anime I've watched. I am frequently told by anime advocates it is dogshit but I really liked it so /shrug
 
@J-- It's mostly touhou

In-fact, I might rewatch it.
 
@J-- Honestly SAO was fine. I wouldn't call it "dogshit", but it has its issues. Doesn't mean someone can't enjoy it

I really enjoyed that series.
 
All my favourite games have their deep flaws
And I love them still

Yeah, I mean, considering I never watched anime before that, it was just popular so.
 
Anonymous
Also, the fact it is based on gaming made me really interested to watch it in the first place.

I tried watching some others like Tokyo Ghoul because someone recommended that but I think it was just the entire plot of SAO that interested me so.

Didn't really get into anime at all, just liked SAO.

During the recent valentine's event, every character had a unique cutscene
Hers was that she wanted to tell you a story to comfort you
But honestly, my heart belongs to Raikou
How could it not?

So as I was about to say, that includes some "obvious choices" like Heracles, Beowulf, Vlad the Impaler, etc...
But also some stranger choices like Nikola Tesla, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart or William Shakespeare
They also go into indian mythology, adding Rama from the Ramayana
Or celtic mythology, adding Scáthach

See, I know nothing about this. I don't read much fiction or any, really.

I should note that A Clockwork Orange is quite dreadful but a cult classic at this point.

I do love that movie but I also love that I think it is trash in terms of quality.
 
Clockwork Orange is a masterpiece in every way.
Also feeling slight existential dread because >tfw no Raikou to bemother me

3 seconds of this made my head hurt.
 
Because even if everything I did ended in failure, even if everything I did was awful in every possible way, it comforts me that it will all be lost to the sands of time one day, and nothing of me will remain. And of this nothingness, nothing will ever be worse than After Last Season.
In other words: No matter how badly I fuck up, it can't be so bad that something worse than this comes out.

Fun fact about Manos: The guys who made it had a camera that could only hold 10 seconds of film at a time, so all scenes are limited to 10 seconds. It also had no audio capabilities, so they dubbed it over with like 3 voices afterwards. Also, the intro contains about 10 minutes of two people driving and later making out (and the girl keeps looking at the camera like "do you still want us kissing? It's been 45 seconds. How long is this supposed to last?")

Oh.. Would you look at that.

It is about a cult...: " underground, devil-worshiping cult led by the fearsome Master"

Manos was created as a bet between a salesman (or something) and his friend that anyone can create a horror movie without experience and sell it in theaters. He technically won the bet...

Like, the designer sat down, took this shotgun, said "Which skills would work well with this?" and then dumped all of these skills into Qing Yan
For example: He deals more damage to enemies close to him. Synergizes with a shotgun.
