From the This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things department.
When you are registering or logging into an online or app service and they provide a button or link to “Log In Using #Google/#Microsoft/#Facebook”, the service is using what they call an OAuth provider. Technically only #OAuth2 is used these days, but its all the same thing – see [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OAuth]
How OAuth or Open Authentication works is:
Service needs/wants you to register or login
If Service – or you – don't want yet another account to maintain, then you can choose to Log In Using Google/Microsoft/Meta/LinkedIn/any OAuth provider that Service cares to support
Service redirects your registration/login to Google/Microsoft etc. (lets call them OAuth Provider)
Service asks OAuth Provider to vouch you as a person and gives a list of info that Service needs
OAuth Provider handles all the hard stuff like 2Factor, password resets, and asks your permission for all the info that Service wants to see (or change)
If you satisfy OAuth Provider and give the right permission, OAuth Provider redirects you back to Service
OAuth Provider ALSO gives Service a token, which allows Service to access (or modify) your info at Provider that it had asked for.
As much as one might complain about consolidation (or ransacking) of your data by Big Corpo, there are compelling arguments for OAuth services. As a user its nice to reuse a common account (i.e. your Gmail or Hotmail address) across multiple services, instead of what would technically be a seperate account (but using the same email address) for each. For example, if you change your Gmail password, your password for all the services that use your Gmail account via OAuth are automatically updated.
As a Service developer OAuth is handy because a) its a convenience to your users and b) it means you don't have to implement annoying account/profile management features like facilities to reset your password, or change your email... or more likely the case these days, two factor authentication (what a pain!) – the OAuth provider handles all of this. All you have to do is integrate support for the OAuth provider.
And of course the #OAuth provider loves it (and $implements all of the account/profile management junk and 2FA) because they get to know even more about you; for example, you're now visiting Service – and how often – and they get to watch as Service accesses or changes your data. MMmmm. Yummy user profiling data lake synergies.
A problem arises however, when a user no longer wants to associate their account on Service with their OAuth provider. I have yet to see any Service that provides an Unlink my Google/Microsoft/OAuth account from THIS account feature.
Zoomed when I shoulda Zagged
My company (SmolCo) was recently aquired by a big conglomerate parent (Innitech). We had company #Zoom accounts. My Zoom account was tree@smolco.com and could log in with a password that I had direct control over. Our corporate email accounts were hosted Gmail accounts, so tree@smolco.com was also a Google account, but I had only used it as an email address for my Zoom account.
At some point however, I must have clicked – in accident, or I was in a hurry – on that Log In With Google button and logged in – inexorably linking my tree@smolco.com Google account via OAuth with that Zoom account.
So flash forward to our aquisition. My tree@smolco.com address has now changed to tree@innitech.com – this change happened automatically by our IT department, but it wasn't a migration within Google, we swapped hosting from Google to Microsoft – that innitech.com email is now an Office365 account (joy).
So log into Zoom now. IT switched our email accounts and IT controls our Zoom accounts, so surely the zoom account would also – no. Ok, log in using the old Google account. That works. Ok – the problem is the email address which we must change. Zoom –> Profile –> Change email address. Changed email address to tree@innitech.com.
Can't log in. It turns out that because the Zoom account is now linked to an OAuth account that has now been deactivated there's no way to log in – the OAuth redirect goes to a stale Google account and you can't log into the Zoom account to do anything about it – there isn't any thing there TO do anything about it.
So now my IT guy has to delete my Zoom account entirely and recreate it. Which, good thing I didn't have any meeting recordings or anything I wanted to save... 🙁
Well that was fast
Oh and another thing – Dear Software Service companies that have ticketed customer support: Stop grading your support techs on how fucking fast they close the tickets
On Thursday, I submitted this ticket:
2025-02-12 07:20:48 PST - Tree
hi - My company has been aquired and our hosted google accounts, while still available, are discontinued from use. Would like to unlink my google account tree@smolco.com from my zoom account and use only tree@innitech.com email for account login.
Clear, no?

Case Closed. Transferred to: <case ID>s
Ok, so never mind the fact that it was closed Thursday afternoon before actually being “resolved” Friday morning, the article that Tech sent, wasn't very helpful, because under the section titled
How to change the sign-in email if you don't have access to the original email
it says:
If you no longer have access to your original email address to verify the change, learn what options are available to you based on your account type.
If you're on a Basic (free) account, you will need to create a new Zoom account.
If you're on a paid account, complete the following steps:
Access the support request form.
Next to Unable to access your account?, click Troubleshoot login issues. The chatbot will open and provide you with a list of options to assist you with changing your login email if you don't have access to the original email address.
Now, how tf does one think I wound up at the place where I submitted the request above?

Let’s change the email associated with your account.
Note: To change your email, you need a unique email address that is not associated with another Zoom user or account.
Do you still have access to your original email?

If you can no longer access your original email address to verify the change, you can sign up for a new account or chat with a Billing agent.
.. and then gives you the option to chat with Billing Agent. So I just emailed support later.
When you get the option to `Sign in with Google/Microsoft/Facebook` you're really using #OAuth. Aside from those platforms knowing what you're doing everywhere all the time, there are compelling reasons for both 3rd party services and users. (not many, but a few).
But if you DO link your #Microsoft / #Google / #Facebook account to some other service, there's never anyway to UNLINK it, and that's just lazy cowardly product management, $0.02. Oh and its deliberate.
Not to mention that if anything happens to your Google/ Microsoft/ Facebook account then you lose access to all of the services you have linked to it. People lose their access on a daily basis. Google/ Microsoft/ and Facebook suspend, revoke, and block accounts all the time, usually for no fault/ action on the users' part.
This is actually one area where the fediverse could shine. Make every instance (non-mastodon and mastodon) an oauth provider and client. Make profiles truly portable. Decouple one's online identity from the services they subscribe to. Not only would it make fedi profiles portable but it would break the SSO monopoly. Then when there's enough demand users can "demand" companies support an open oauth ecosystem and not just one's tied to the corporations.

ok. if you don;t do it this way, Proxmox backup jobs WILL EVENTUALLY overlap and kill your bandwith
Before you configure backups, setup an NFS share and add it to Datacenter -> Storage. I just SSH'd into proxmox directly and setup an NFS server there.
Then, Datacenter -> Backup Configure a new backup job like this.
This runs every 4 hours and backs up every VM. Setting IO workers to 1 and the bandwith to 15 solves the congestion issue and overlapping
If you have GigE lan like me, don't go higher than 15.
I do not recommend creating any more backup jobs because they will eventually overlap
Proxmox automatic VM backups is great for Pleroma/Akkoma because your DB will get backed up automatically with it

@tezoatlipoca@mas.to [Betterbird](betterbird.eu/) is a fork of Thunderbird, but *better*. Betterbird is a fine-tuned version of [Mozilla Thunderbird](thunderbird.net/), Thunderbird on steroids, if you will. Betterbird is better than Thunderbird in three ways: It contains new features exclusive to Betterbird, it contains bug fixes exclusive to Betterbird and it contains fixes that Thunderbird may ship at a later stage. Please refer to this [feature table](betterbird.eu/#featuretable) for examples. This should give you an impression of where the project is headed. **Easy adoption:** You can install Betterbird at the same time as Thunderbird and run them on the same profile. That means that you can try out Betterbird with zero hassle, and go back to Thunderbird if you don't like it - which is unlikely. Please read the fine print on our [support page](betterbird.eu/support/#switch-…).

"This May, STaX Capital Partners applied for a permit to install turbines fueled by methane from oil wells on Alaska’s North Slope. The temp facilities would serve as a proof of concept for a much larger gas-fired power plant — with an output equal to that of state’s largest coal-fired plant — all of whose electricity would go to a planned bitcoin data center. The Alaska-based company hopes to “create the playbook for sustainable, at-scale Bitcoin mining in Alaska.”
the stage format comes after six games of the metroid format where the metroid format was there to specificially drag the game out with back and forth. PoR experimented with this too but to a more limited degree. There are tradeoffs of course but I think it makes for a more interesting game to have a bit more linearity to it and less backtracking.
That said it had the side effect of making backtracking worse if you miss something midway through

In a First, Leading Israeli Rights Groups Accuse Israel of Gaza Genocide
Israel says it is fighting against Hamas, not Palestinians as a group. But two of Israel’s best-known rights groups — long critical of Israeli policy — now say they disagree. #AureFreePress #News #press #headline #Israel #gaza #Breaking #BreakingNews
"Do our rabbis believe in God? Given how many are silent about Gaza, it’s hard to tell."
Then:
"Because it seems to me, if you believe in God, and you believe that human beings—all human beings, Palestinians included—are created equal, b’tzelem elohim, in the image of God, and you see what Israel is doing to Palestinians, you have no choice but to speak out as forcefully as you can against this."
"The entire crisis stems from deliberate policies and sustained international complicity. Netanyahu’s right-wing regime’s blockade, military operations, and settlement enterprise, enabled by unwavering US backing, produce and perpetuate the ongoing catastrophe and political impasse. US diplomatic shielding blocks accountability at international forums and courts, allowing impunity."
Qasim Rashid, a progressive writer, lost 300+ subscribers for speaking out against Israel's genocide. He refuses to stay silent & encourages every American to use their voice to stand up for humanity.
"Two leading human rights organisations based in Israel, B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights, say Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and the country’s western allies have a legal and moral duty to stop it."
"There is no excuse for the world to stand by and watch two million human beings suffer on the brink of full-blown famine.
This is not a natural disaster triggered by drought or crop failures. It’s a man-made crisis, and there are man-made solutions that could save lives today."
"Flour is now a rare and expensive commodity. Bread—plain, unseasoned bread—has become a symbol of privilege. Mothers in Gaza are asking for enough food to nourish their babies, for medicine to bring down a fever, shelter that doesn’t shake every night, and for the war to stop before their children stop growing, before their own bodies give out."
"In reports published on Monday, the two groups said Israel had targeted civilians in Gaza only because of their identity as Palestinians over nearly two years of war, causing severe and in some cases irreparable damage to Palestinian society."

J'ai trouvé le patron du nouveau resto juste à côté de mon supermarché vraiment trop collant quand on a été y manger. Depuis, je faisais un détour pour plus passer directement devant et éviter de lui parler.
Là, je me suis dit "Nan mais c'est con de faire ça juste parce que le gars a été un peu trop racoleur" donc je suis repassée devant et il était sur la terrasse de son resto.
... Devinez quoi ? J'aurais mieux fait de m'écouter 😬
Le gars a insisté LOURDEMENT pour que je prenne un café avec lui à tel point que c'est un autre employé du centre commercial, en pause café, qui lui a dit d'arrêter de forcer
Alors que j'allais repartir en me disant déjà que c'était pas une bonne idée d'être repassée par là, il a attrapé ma main pour me retenir et me faire un câlin en disant "ça fait quand même plaisir de te revoir, si tu veux, tu peux passer ce soir, je serai seul" et il m'a caressé la joue.

There are only a very small number of shows made after 1980 that we watch. Cobra Kai was one of them. It's not great TV (few things are), but it's entertaining. A little raunchy, though, but one of the things my kids and I laugh at is how much it makes fun of Woke teenagers and the stupidity of the modern world.
Most (over 98% perhaps?) modern TV is absolute garbage. I have no interest in it.
Did we get South Park episodes when Biden was shitting his pants, photoshopped into family photos, replaced with doubles of different heights with their silicone masks falling off, guided by easter bunnies, and mumbling nonsense? Or did they just make fun of Trump with Garrison? I'd stopped watching a while back.

🇫🇷🇮🇱 114 avocats déposent plainte : ils accusent l’État français de complicité dans le #génocide en cours à #Gaza.
🔴Une requête a été déposée auprès du procureur de la Cour pénale internationale ( #CPI) par l’association « Pour la justice au Proche-Orient », regroupant 114 avocats. Ces derniers demandent l’ouverture d’une enquête pour complicité de génocide en cours à Gaza, visant plusieurs figures majeures du gouvernement français.
🔴Dans leur document de 56 pages, ils détaillent comment, selon eux, les autorités françaises soutiennent militairement, diplomatiquement et politiquement les actions d’Israël à Gaza, malgré les alertes répétées d’ONG internationales sur la situation humanitaire catastrophique dans la bande de Gaza.
•Et 19 #députés de la commission des affaires européennes de l’Assemblée nationale
🔴Les avocats reprochent à ces responsables leur inaction ou leur soutien actif à une politique israélienne qu’ils estiment constitutive de crimes internationaux, y compris le génocide, un terme lourd et rare en droit international, mais ici utilisé volontairement.

Trump’s recent ‘Japanese trade deal’ has been heralded as a success in American system economics and has offered many people hope that the industrial recovery of America is upon us.
In the field of cybersecurity, a distinction is made between the "blue team" task of building a secure system, and the "red team" task of locating vulnerabilities in such systems. The blue team is more obviously necessary to create the desired product; but the red team is just as essential, given the damage that can result from deploying insecure systems.
The nature of these teams mirror each other; mathematicians would call them "dual". The output of a blue team is only as strong as its weakest link: a security system that consists of a strong component and a weak component (e.g., a house with a securely locked door, but an open window) will be insecure (and in fact worse, because the strong component may convey a false sense of security). Dually, the contributions to a red team can often be additive: a red team report that contains both a serious vulnerability and a more trivial one is more useful than a report that only contains the serious issue, as it is valuable to have the blue team address both vulnerabilities. (But excessive low-quality reports can dilute attention from critical issues.)
Because of this, unreliable contributors may be more useful in the "red team" side of a project than the "blue team" side, though the blue team can still accommodate such contributors provided that the red team is competent enough to catch almost all of the errors that the contributor to the blue team might make. Also, unreliable red team contributions only add value if they _augment_ the output of more reliable members of that team, rather than _replace_ that output, and if their output can be effectively filtered or triaged by more experienced red team members.
