@yousifa @denisyarats It’s okay, every failure is an opportunity to learn. That said,

> A sandboxed credential shouldn't be usable from an arbitrary external IP.

This isn’t always true. It depends on the threat vector and they’ve adequately modelled the threat and mitigated it successfully.

@ChShersh In hindsight this is clearly a shitpost. I dunno why I’m still on this platform. It literally rewards the dumbest posts because the flame war is “engagement”.

@ChShersh It’s crazy that you can say something so absurd. 1) JSON is awesome, and 2) Yes they have.

You have all these options from YAML, to TOML, and regardless of your preferred flavor Hjson is objectively better than JSON in that it’s a superset.

@SeanWrightSec And then,there are some people like @amingilani,who not only will fail the phishing test, but will go extra mile, querying the mail server,get as much details as possible & write up about the whole thing while folks at security holding their head and saying:”WTF just happened” 😂

@Hadrians_Gate Oh, it’s cloaked 😂

@martinmbauer Dunno, but someone with an increasing acceleration is probably a jerk.

@mhartl For the 11th coin, the probability will always be 0.5% though just like the probability of success for the 5th run will always be 20%.

I’ve lost money on the Martingale strategy and my gambler’s fallacy has been thoroughly cured.

[Amin Shah Gilani 🗝️👨‍💻 @amingilani]

@mhartl I get the sentiment but I wish he put a little more effort in his math.

If p is 20% then q=80%
The probability of 5 failures in a row is (0.8^5) ~32%, meaning the probability to succeed in one of those 5 attempts is (1-0.32) ~68%.

Those are good but not 120% 😂

@siddi_ziddi_hai Not all of us bro.

[Amin Shah Gilani 🗝️👨‍💻 @amingilani]

@armujahid They do! I have the MX3 and the MX5. Best headphones I’ve ever had. MX3 is nicer bass but MX5 is nicer overall!

The Bluetooth multipoint is also awesome.

@kobigurk GM. I've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty on the big bad blue site. 😅

[Amin Shah Gilani 🗝️👨‍💻 @amingilani]

@meowkoteeq Okay, I read the other comments. Everyone is in on the joke. It really is a joke. Phewww

[Amin Shah Gilani 🗝️👨‍💻 @amingilani]

@meowkoteeq You’re joking right? Please tell me you’re joking. This feels like it’s a joke, and it feels very well executed 😅 please be a joke.

A few years ago a friend asked me how he could batch rename files. I wrote him a one-liner.

Turns out a colleague of his had allocated 3 weeks + overtime to manually rename each file by hand. 💀

I spent this afternoon moving video content from https://t.co/iK4zGfQpA3 to an object store, and writing forwarding rules.

Took me an hour or so but imagine not being a developer. This stuff would have taken me weeks.

Remember when we were told children were being killed in Gaza because Hamas was using them as human shields? Now we know the real reason. When Israel wanted to kill someone, they waited till he went home, then dropped a bomb on the building, killing the whole family.
