It's all fun and games until the model is smart enough to figure out privilege escalation, i.e. a lot of people don't realize Docker enabled on a regular user is enough for privilege escalation if you "follow the tutorials."

That's actually a common scam that happens, too. It's a constant problem in my city, and while I already have the app downloaded on my phone others do not and find themselves getting nasty bills in the mail months later.

1Password Is Down 3 months ago

This is destroying me, none of my web browser extensions will talk with the local 1password application. Why the fuck does it need to talk to the internet to talk to my local application? Argh!

Target does tend to build cases, up to a certain point, so as to not waste LE time. But it’s not as much as people tend to think. If you steal a candy bar or a loaf of bread it’s just not worth it, but more? A TV? Yes.

Hahaha, I love it. But also, a security tool you're going to be using against your core infrastructure should probably not be a random binary that you also tell users to strip quarantine off of to use: `sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine`. Sigh at the state of running stuff on macOS sometimes.

All joking aside, this looks great. Is there a plan to allow for "custom checks" with custom rules users create? Think of "never should happen" access from a to z, etc.

It’s not terribly difficult to get a gov domain, it’s just much easier to do an ordinary one. Smaller towns and cities outsource to cheap WYSIWYG type builders that also include a domain so it’s really simple to just go that route too.

Why do people write frameworks on top of programming languages that other developers wrote?

Feels like a similar kind of energy, but your scenario is easier: if it goes away they could find new maintainers or take it up themselves.
