@Tarah every time I’ve done this it would have been enough for me to hand over the phone to someone who sounds vaguely like a woman and have them say “yes, I’m X, he’s got my permission”.

I think it's time for a reread of "I am not your supplier"

>What it means is that there is no supply chain here. Because there is no supplier. I am not providing you something that you bought from me. There is no relationship. I put something online because I wanted to. The fact you made your product depend on it is your responsibility. Not mine. Not the one of the providers. We provide libraries. We do not supply them. You cannot apply rules to me.

Or in meme form

I’d like to set up a website that authenticates users in such a way that a single person can’t (trivially) sign up more than once, but I don’t see any personal details beyond an anonymous ID. Absolute guarantees that that user hasn’t registered before aren’t needed, but there should be enough friction to put people off. Think Twitter accounts, not passports. I absolutely do not want to deal with email.

Is OIDC really the best option here?

Another day, another client site with separate networks on the same IP ranges.

It's actually kind of fucked that the concept of self-care is now being sold to us as "you deserve the right to spend money on consumable luxuries like bath bombs" rather than "capitalism is destroying us mind, body, and spirit and will always ravenously devour all time and space we have marked out for the maintenance of our own health and sanity"

AHHHH. Just sent the deposit and final legal fees for purchasing the flat I’ve been renting to my solicitors. I guess I’m committed now.

Ahh yes, that’s why I don’t really watch BBC News.

“Zombie knives, swords, and machetes are a growing problem. Our reporter is at a Border Force centre.” Followed by a report that has nothing to do with immigration or asylum seekers.

I’m tickled every time I go to put BBC News on an iPlayer asks if I want to watch from the start. Yes, please give me the news starting from November 1997, I missed a few episodes the first time round.

I’ve just been reminded Trustpilot exists, and am once again angry that there’s a widely used company whose entire business model is broadly a protection racket. Companies that pay them can dispute bad reviews, companies that don’t can’t.

QOTD from a YouTube video my son is watching: “A fully evolved Corbynite will be incredibly annoying to deal with”.

(Don’t @ me, I t’s a Pokemon video.)

@Tijn @catsalad you can’t pull up a seat on your phone while it calculates payroll for the entire DoD though.

I’m going to laugh so hard if the thing that persuades CEOs to take climate change seriously is atmospherics levels of CO2 starting to encroach on the levels that impact productivity.

Rent, food.

Where do I report my local postman for cheating at wearing shorts in any weather, he’s got thermal trousers on underneath them.

I have just spent two days straight being sociable, if anyone needs me I’ll be hiding out avoiding any sort of human contact for the next week.

Come on folks. At least *try* to entice me into this article I had the tiniest shred of interest in to begin with.

Gamers set up DNS for your servers challenge. Difficulty level: Impossible.

How, in the year two thousand and twenty four, is it still so painful to template a configuration file from environment variables?

@skylar I just watched your EMF talk, it is easily the best one I've ever seen! On several occassions I gasped in amazement at what's going on during despatch, thank you for the talk, and thank you for doing a job you couldn’t pay me enough money to even consider doing.
