And usually not a particularly good padlock either. Sites like these are regularly prone to non-destructive entry, don't configure or assemble tamper detection circuits, etc.
But honestly, none of this is a huge deal day to day. It's something you can improve over time. For the most part, people do not attack these facilities, it's just that if they did, they would have effectively free reign.
- nkurz 8y agoHi microcolonel. I've noticed that most of your comments lately are autodead, although some have been revived by people vouching for them. Checking through your history, I don't see any clear reason for this. You might want to email 'hn@ycombinator.com' and ask what's up.
- kbenson 8y agoI vouched for a comment and responded to it at few days back, then looked at his history and vouched for 3-4 more when I saw that. Previously I've seen a few vouches take someone out of being dead, so I hoped it would do so this time. Guess not. I also didn't see anything particularly worthy of shadowbanning.
- microcolonel 8y agoI think there was a particularly hot thread a few months back which one mod thought I was pouring fuel on (I won't opine on that, partly since I don't really know which comment[s] constituted the offense); and that's why I'm hellbanned. It's actually not been so bad, I don't know if they want me back fully though.
