KraftCloud 2 years ago

Was totally expecting this to be about the Kraft food company creating their own cloud service as an April fools joke.

Size of the files can be large in many GBs.

Security is the main concern.

Tool should be web based.

From your question it kinda sounds you actually have 3 main concerns, not just security. I can't give you any suggestions for web based tools but I can suggest:

1. Obtain a public SSH key out-of-band with the party that needs the large file and give them access to an SFTP share with that key.

2. Upload the file to a private S3 bucket and send them a signed link[1]

Humans seek work that provides satisfaction and meaning in their life.

we keep destroying what allows humans to seek meaning.

Our governments and society have made it clear, if you don't produce value, you don't deserve dignity.

Those points are really interesting to me, I think you're right and I've never looked at it that way before.

An illumos distribution which is supported by rust, and the rust stuff would successfully build but `npm install` wouldn't because they didn't provide binaries for that platform and it was much faster to just switch to esbuild than figure out all that was needed to get it supported.

I only tried rollup from the beginning because the ES6 project I was trying to bundle suggested it.

Japanese culture plays a huge role as well. Cities are a reflection of it's inhabitants, the cities in Japan (that I've been to) are quiet, organized, and clean.

You can walk through the residential areas of Funibashi (east of Tokyo) in the evening and hear a pin drop. It's a challenge to find a piece of trash on the ground.

What does, say... Philadelphia say about it's inhabitants?

You can also bike nearly everywhere, and for everything else there's exceptional public transport via trains and busses.

If I could live anywhere, in the world, out of all the countries I've been to, Japan is right top of the list.

I agree but the government could try and solve this problem at the source by mandating the teaching of personal finance in public schools. It may not actually do much good, but we should at least _try_ it.

Then again, the federal government is rarely successfully at addressing problems at their source so I won't hold my breath.

it is not 90 days total per year, but the officials are strict on it.

That may have been what I was thinking, I recall on my first trip there, they were pretty strict and wanted to know exactly where I was staying I even had to show them on the map. For my wife's tourist visa we had to apply to a travel agency that was a liaison with the Japan embassy (The Japan embassy required it, you couldn't apply directly in her country) and the process was very tedious, we had to include a day-by-day itinerary, and all kinds of documentation. All that to say I guess when I hear that Japan is strict about something, I just take that as it's not worthwhile to try and get around it.

Length is far too short, I can stay for 3 months without filling out anything, an additional 3 for the effort of applying kinda sucks (having applied for a Japan tourist visa for my wife, expect this visa to be just as onerous)

If they allow dependents (like the Korean one does) and allowed for 1 year with the option of extending up to 2, we'd be packing right now.

I've found a lot of albums (lossless) that I can't find anywhere on OTOTOY the only catch is I have to use a VPN with a Japanese IP address to checkout (the don't care about the billing address so works fine otherwise)

The main pain however is that some labels (usually Sony) stubbornly don't allow lossless downloads...

GET requests are supposed to be safe[0], if you have a unsubscribe link, you click that link, it makes a GET request, then unsubscribes the user, that GET request is no longer safe.

How I've seen developers approach this, is the initial GET request loads a form, and requires that the user clicks something once more, to then submit a POST request and confirm the unsubscribe action.

> Microsoft clicks all links in emails for "security" purposes.

SOP. many email providers do this

Heh, are they inadvertently unsubscribing folks from newsletters by making requests to the "Unsubscribe" links too?

Most Unsubscribe pages I've seen recently appear to be a two or more step process but I'm sure there's some folks out there making unsubscribe pages that do the thing on the initial GET request alone... (not justifying making a GET perform a side effect, just saying it's interesting.)

The place I used to work at only a few years ago rarely had an updated careers page, it took an act of congress to get something added/removed it was almost always wrong (jobs that didn't exist, that were filled, and openings that weren't listed)

Just looked and my current employer has an opening on the careers page that I know for a fact we're not hiring for at the moment.

A degree is simply a piece of paper that will open certain doors, but there is no guarantee it will get you through them. You can still open lots of other doors without it but some will remain closed or be difficult to open. Those are doors you might not want to go through anyways.

I don't have a degree and it has not hindered my 10+ year career. However, certain immigration related things I'd like to do are difficult if not impossible without it, but I'll admit that is highly specific to me.

The first thing it was integrated into was sshd, there's a small patch in sshd that sends a notification to the blacklist daemon when a connection has failed authentication.
