Simply because that has bad optics. We "invade countries" on a regular basis, just not with tanks and battleships, and not to annex them or take their citizens but to get what we want out of them without having to do those messy things.
I'm 100% for my country but we do pull some shifty shit then scream to the heavens when somebody else does the same thing.
Like others have mentioned it was really the hypocrisy of this guy that made me side against him, not so much whether he was right or wrong.
He's a known, certified, card-carrying obnoxious rebel coming pretty close to violating a "Code of Conduct" himself pretty well every other day then his beef with Christoph about wanting to "mix languages" (C and Rust, of course) and Christoph said "I'm maintaining it and I'm not doing it, it's like a cancer" (I'm paraphrasing and he was notably not talking about Rust itself but "mixing" C and Rust) then Martin exploding and screaming that Christoph said "cancer" and that he had violated a Code of Conduct. Please.
A serious case of the pot calling the kettle black.
Amazing! My son also colored a lot but he'd pick only a few pages out of every coloring book so I got the idea to find some online; one-page things to print but the ones I found at the time claimed to be "coloring book pages" but were actually more black-lines-on-white-background actual artwork. Much too complex for simple coloring. Your site would have been the find of the decade!
One would think so. I remember looking through my very first hosting provider's settings page for my site and saw that "Directory Listing" (or similar) was "On". I thought to myself "Well that doesn't sound right, if it means what it sounds like it means." I Googled and that's what it meant. I turned it off. So if a complete newb setting up his first website thought it was a bad idea, one would think, like you said, that a cyber security company would know to disable it (or double and triple check that it's disabled). With all that said, hopefully this is an April Fool's prank.
Granted, the real reasons they refused to reinstate the account may not have been because of the unflattering tweets. Maybe it really wasn't. But Apple definitely goofed when they said that was one of the reasons. +1 for developers and consumers, -1 for Apple.
I looked at the page source and also the source files on Github for your project. Seem very simple and appears to do exactly what it says it will do, namely, generate a password on the client side in the browser with JS. Thanks for your effort on this.
This is just my opinion, but there are probably studies that agree, the URL doesn't look "attractive" with numerals in it. Then again, several years ago they said "never use a hyphen in your URL" and now they're not uncommon.
Of course there are well-established URLs, e.g. 9to5linux.com, that can get away with it but given a site that I didn't already know about with numerals in it, I wouldn't click the link, personally. But like I said, that's just me. Perhaps your site would be in the Top 20 most visited in the world for all I know.
Seems like a lot of work that could be better spent creating awesome content.
I get those same problems except with several of my VPN's servers, not AWS. Most of the servers work fine but occasionally I connect to one that gives me the problems you described. Apparently someone has used the IP addresses for the things you mentioned and gotten them put on some kind of "partial blocklist" (whatever that's called) where it doesn't block your traffic completely but it does cause certain sites to assume that you could possibly be up to no good.
Can you possibly get another IP address for your AWS instance? I've never used AWS for anything so I don't know how that works. My web hosting provider has offered to move my site to another server (with a different IP address) a couple of years ago when I had similar problems. It's shared plan and someone must have been spamming from it.
She said she didn't click "Yes" to remain employed because she had questions about increased benefits in exchange for the demand for "long, high-intensity hours". I see her point but I think maybe she should have clicked "Yes", then discussed with somebody later about increased benefits and resigned it was found to not be satisfactory. The email clearly stated that not clicking "Yes" would be considered a resignation.
We had a kiosk-type system at a computer repair shop where I worked where if we were super busy the customer could enter the make and model of the computer along with what the complaint was and their name and phone number and leave it on the counter for us to intake later.
We caught several people bringing in a different computer later trying to claim it was the same one and we owed them a "warranty repair" because we failed to fix it the first time.
Instead of modifying the kiosk application to require a serial number, the owner did away with it altogether and one of us from then on would have to drop what we were doing and intake all computers manually.
I suggested we could have text on the screen to the effect of "Attempting to obtain a repair under false pretenses is theft of services" or some such but he wouldn't have it.
So I guess the way we dealt with "fraud in our app" was that we stopped using the app.
I'm 100% for my country but we do pull some shifty shit then scream to the heavens when somebody else does the same thing.
