I use KeePassXC on a Linux desktop and store the 2FA codes in it. Every site that offers 2FA will let you use a code instead of scanning the QR image. As long as I have the underlying codes I can reuse them anywhere else. In iOS I use &#x27

Just last year I told Ikea that they use a phishing like url in my country. Something like makeyourhomegreat.com (I can't remember the exact URL). They actually stopped using that URL but I'm not sure it was because of me or some

Last year we couldn't access some aws server at work because it was on US gov blacklist. An aws server that hosted maybe hundreds of other unrelated websites. Amazon is just as bad. But I guess they have better PR.

Hmm, lots of people here recommend EasyDNS. I'm curios so I went to check. They say that the "DNS PRO" offer has 5 million queries/month. Is that a lot? Do they enforce the limit? That's 7000/requests/hour

Is this an US thing? I always assumed that no contract can be "above" the law. In fact I just checked the Constitution in my country and it specifically says that no other law can cancel the fact anyone can address justice.
