Potato, potato…
Whether we call them ‘undocumented commands’ or a ‘backdoor’, the affect is more or less the same; a series of high-level commands not listed within the specs, preventing systems engineers/designers from planning around vulnerabilities and their potential for malicious use.
Integer overflow; suddenly everything’s free.
tariffs hurt the populace of the country imposing them more than anyone else.
Tariffs always hurt the customer, especially when it comes to raw resources; but can have the potential to hurt the seller as well (in the form of lost business).
With import tariffs the recipient pays to import an item, directly costing them more. With an export tariff, the shipper pays extra, so they raise their prices to compensate, also costing the customer more.
Now with manufactured products, the customer may have local options that are now cheaper than an import+tariffs (but still more expensive than they were paying previously), which means the foreign manufacturer has to invest in a local facility or loose customers. The customer may just be stuck with it though.
With raw resources however, it’s much less likely the customer can purchase cheaper elsewhere so they will likely just be stuck with the higher cost.
Potash for example, the US heavily imports from Canada for use in fertilizer and just doesn’t produce in sufficient quantities for it’s farmers (>90% is imported). If Trump follows through and imposes his tariff on that (I think that one was 10%), farmers will have no options but to buy less or spend more. It does nothing but harm the US.
Likewise with Canada imposing a tariff on electricity; our energy companies are going to charge more per kwh to compensate for the extra costs, and the affected states will have no choice but to pay more. Again harming the US as a result of Trumps decisions.
Seems we’re going to impose 25% export tariffs on power anyway, because just delaying a month isn’t good enough.
While we’re at it, we might just get a chance to literally punch Trump (jr) right in the fucking mouth.
I’m also pretty sure the Starlink contract is still being cancelled, and there’s a ban on future US contracts atm. Liquor stores have greatly reduced American inventory and encourage local products, travel to the US has dropped dramatically; and overall there’s a general ‘fuck America’ attitude in the air. It’s kind of refreshing.
Looking at openspeedtests github page, this immediately sticks out to me:
Warning! If you run it behind a Reverse Proxy, you should increase the post-body content length to 35 megabytes.
/edit;
Decided to spin up this container and play with it a bit myself.
I just used my standard nginx proxy config which enables websockets and https, but I didn’t explicitly set the max_body_size like their example does. I don’t really notice a difference in speed, switching between the proxy and a direct connection.
So, That may be a bit of a red herring.
This part always confuses me, so I won’t be able to give specifics; just a general direction. Most guides explain how to route traffic from a vpn client to the lan of the vpn host. You need to route traffic from the vpn host/lan to a client of the vpn.
You need to change the routing table on the VPS, adding a static route to route traffic heading for your VPNs subnet to the VPN host instead of out the default gateway.
How exactly to do that I’ll have to leave to someone else unfortunately. Network config confuses the hell out of me.
It was all positive until the guy below me came in throwing insults. Then people started piling downvotes on both…
