hi thread, I’m posting this from an unpatched windows xp box with all default ports open because I figure nobody’s going to bother trying to hack those any more, it’s security by reverse psychology

about 2 years ago i had to use a credit card carbon copier for a transaction, luckily my card still had the embossed digits for imprint

my mom kept going to the tiny local shop for about 2 years after almost everyone else abandoned it for the bigger ones, because they had that, and the carbon copier can't reject your card when it's over the limit lmao

carbon copier transactions are the best

Facebook is even easier to game. I'm not up to date, but at least 2 years ago it was easy to circumvent their requirement of minimum size of custom audience > 15 by uploading 14 bogus e-mail addresses and the correct one of the person you want to gently caress with. This allowed you to serve this person (and only this one) with your ads. As it was only one person you could easily buy all ad inventory for a pittance.

lmao remember when the facebook posters in this thread kept insisting how amazingly awesome and secure facebook's poo poo is

2017 was such an innocent time

it's a bit weird because some of the security people i follow online, people who seem to have their heads screwed on straight, sometimes do boost/reshare him. i don't know what to believe anymore :tinfoil:

also, so they cannot look up your passwords in a rainbow table because adding salt would be prohibitively expensive on a thing that's already fairly expensive.

how are you going to install system packages when you're not an admin though?

a problem would be those packages not being signed, not the requiring admin access bit.

it's not anymore, everyone wants the latest and greatest now.

i get real bad looks at work when i insist on using only distro packages for php, and trying to avoid composer at all costs, but it's got us safely past a couple of these idiocies entirely unaffected so i guess it's not the worst idea
