That’s strange. I always had issues with DHL ranging from stolen items, open packages to delays and blunt rudeness from drivers.

I prefer this over having data stolen.

Also as a rule of thumb never ever expose anything but port 80 and 443 if hosting a webapp.

If you must expose services other than http/s then be sure to not leak its version, have it secured properly and _always_ up to date. The user running such services should also be a non privileged user, the daemon chrooted, and the OS should have appropriate process and filesystem permissions in place.

A planet colonised and dependent solely on high tech for its own survival is a potential catalyst for radical innovation and trade. We could turn it into a place free or our earthly issues. Antarctica is just a cold place which we may colonise once it melts, start a few wars over it maybe, destroy it, exterminate its tiny wildlife and so on. Mars is already dead, hopefully not stimulating enough for our primitive instincts and will let us focus solely on tech advancement.

I am not sure how such posts make it in here, but if the author thinks the writer of a complex API should posses the skills of a CSS and usability guru then the writer is simply wrong. Also the notion that backend devs do more “serious” stuff than front end devs may be common in toxic work environments, but not so much in proper teams. Front end work is not just creating buttons and setting styles. It is also about understanding users, a whole range if devices, browsers, screens and many more things that simply cam’t be mastered at the same time as one masters heck knows how many layers of apis services and what else goes behind more than just a word press app.

In the United States, much like in similar authoritarian countries, the police appears to be able to arrest journalists without probable cause. Happened live where journalists reporting live have been arrested and / or beaten. A sad state of affairs.

Oh please, we are now debating which country is less authoritarian. Any Russian or Chinese government troll will launch similar comparisons in defence of Putin or Xi: but at least we are not doing [x]. Kidnapping is kidnapping. Some of you have gone quickly from freedom of speech and democracy to at least we only disappear people for a few days. And we only beat journalists we dont torture them. And we only persecute minorities we dont put them in camps. And we only let them rot in ghettos not gas chambers. Be serious, you are part of the problem.
