If there is only one thing you take from my post, then look up "NextJS middleware auth bypass" or something along those lines. Have fun reading about that and then never touch NextJS or anything Vercel ever again. I won't rep

The only good thing to come out of Brexit is setting an undeniable example for what a monumental failure it was. For those who are paying attention, anyway. And that group is not the majority of voters. We'll still end up with a Reform

I'll try to offer my perspective, but there is no guarantee it'll be of any use to you. You are touching on a few things that sound familiar. I _struggle_ with repetition. Tasks like emptying a dishwasher or taking out the trash,

The only thing I'd add to this (as someone with stupidly depressive and negative thought patterns), is that there are techniques that can help. The parent comment comes off as flippant, but I am going to assume it's not intended t

I'm so glad I'm not the only one thinking this. I built a medium-complexity, money-making, production-grade app in Next.js and started out on Vercel's hosting (and Google Firebase) and then moved to hosting myself and stripp

Alphabet has unfortunately reached a size where it is completely self-sustaining and acts outside of 'normal' market forces affecting businesses that need to make something or sell a certain volume of products. They just keep grow

I principally agree with you. But in reality, the ad-funded model has failed. It failed a long time ago. There were never any restrictions placed on it, so it became a self-sustaining downward spiral to the current state of things. When I s

When I saw this, I thought "there is no way that Gemini 2.5 Pro gets this wrong". It insists there's two rs. Even when 'grounding with Google search' is activated. Wild.

Second this. Next.js had potential, but it feels like it's gone downhill majorly since Vercel got involved. Been on the Next.js journey since v10, lived through the v13 debacle and even now on v15, I've very much cooled on it. I f

Interesting. First time I've heard of this outside the UK. In my local area, there's a near total moratorium on new-builds. The reasons are complex, but it's a mixture of agriculture having poisoned all the rivers, housing wh

Whatsapp messages? It's pretty crucial to find out how these ended up with the police. Did these people send Whatsapp messages to someone who didn't like the messages and this person then went to the police? In that case, it'

Looks a bit like your comment was being downvoted, which is also interesting to see. If Arthur Stacks is a bot, then it potentially follows that there is vote-manipulation going on as well, to quell dissenting opinions.

Pretty sure it was sacrificed by its owner (and let's be clear here, NOT founder...) Also, people are very quick to declare something "dead" or "sacrificed". Financially speaking, Elon has become an invincible god t

The nightmare continues. For now I am using 3rd party backup services that are (currently) promising me that my backups are encrypted by a key they do not have access to, or control over. But can this even be believed in an age where these

duckduckgo is still reasonably usable. Otherwise use sites that index DHT or use piracy communities on lemmy. Google should be regarded as an enemy of the internet, and probably, by extension, society. But then so should any corporation tha

Quite sophisticated. I'm not sure whether someone less technical would know what to do.

Fascinating. This is probably the most sophisticated phishing attempt that's arrived in my inbox yet. Thank you for posting this article. The fact that this comes from service@paypal.com is massively concerning.

by throwaway77385 2y ago
Yup, as mentioned, it was verifiably paypal.com in the very headers. It's the lack of the spoofing that caught me off-guard. But, further below in the thread it appears that any business on PayPal can just send fake invoices powered by

by throwaway77385 2y ago
And in fact, it should come from some kind of subdomain like "user-service@random-users-can-send-whatever-they-want-from-this-address.paypal.com" and then the header should be "THIS ISN'T AN OFFICIAL PAYPAL EMAIL" e

Oh wow, I would perhaps have expected that email to include some kind of "message from seller: / company: " type subject to at least identify it as such. For anyone to just be able to send an email in the name of paypal.com w

How come the hate? That's a pretty strong emotion for something as benign as a programming language.

Used Netlify back in the day (prior to Cloudflare pages / workers sites). The experience was largely smooth. HOWEVER, pricing was both opaque and prone to explode without warning, with little to no way of setting billing limits. Ultima

Using jsx for email is an interesting approach. If these work in ancient versions of Outlook and on proprietary, obscure mobile email programs, the way MJML does, I could be swayed.

Agreed, Firebase is the worst. Google's impenetrable documentation, paired with frequent breaking changes, opaque pricing model (paired with asking for your card details but not letting you set a limit at which the app should turn off)
