I did not say that this person was victimized by AWS, you are putting words in my mouth. We agree that this person has been victimized by a criminal. My point is that AWS failing to implement spending controls makes this type of attack sign

Blaming the victim for AWS having inadequate spending controls is kinda crummy. Absolute spending caps, or spending growth rate limits, would both be useful even outside of situations where a user's credential is compromised. One examp

With DNT on, Medium actually behaves differently! When viewing an article with embeds (like an iframed YT video), each embed is replaced with a small privacy warning, then clicking it loads the embed.

Yeah, I assumed since you were querying their DNS that you were a client, but makes sense it might be repackaged to other ISPs.

I'm not Requestbin's creator so I don't know. A simple nslookup or curl does work for me, with my system's DNS servers set to Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) or Google (8.8.8.8) It looks like Vodafone (I assume this is your ISP) D

Looks like https://requestbin.net/dns is what you want, no? I set one up (free, no account) and then when I did an nslookup or curl I saw the DNS hits coming in

Maybe there are other mechanisms, but the one shown in [1] seems pretty simple. The top of the gondola arm has a flat spot, and there are both wheels and the cable mechanism on the underside. In the station it detaches from the cable and j

I honestly tried to read this page, but I just cannot get past the schizophrenic formatting. It seems like every one of the brand names involved is a combination of bold, italic, and normal text. Some of the parenthetical comments are a l

Thanks for this write-up, it's what finally got me over the activation energy barrier to setting up backups of a small home-automation setup I run. The rclone docs are very extensive but having a short, simple example was the kick I ne

Fair enough! Just pondering what it might be like to run with a limitation too. Thanks for sharing this. For some reason it gives me a really similar vibe to 88% Parentheticals, a single-episode joke podcast made for Reply All. It's

Hmm, could you do an ensemble type podcast? Story, gentle musical interlude, story in a different voice, lather, rinse, repeat? Maybe you could even position the whole thing as glued together from bits of story a fictional other-podcast lef

A tangential word of warning for anybody feeling inspired to DIY some fresh herbs: mint spreads very aggressively. If you want to plant some, put it in a pot on a patio or pavement to stop it from getting into the ground. If you do not, in

It looks like you can specify a per-container proxy URL. I imagine under the hood that's how the per-container Mozilla VPN support must work too.

Nobody is suggesting to make that the default uniformly across all AWS accounts. It would be excellent for anybody intending to use the free tier for its stated purpose (getting to know the AWS platform) who would like to make the _choice_
