Technology@lemmy.world•Retailers are pulling back from self-checkout after years of theft, errors, and questionable time savingsEnglish
16·1 day agoMy main issue with self checkout is simple. They constantly incorrectly flag me for shoplifting and then proceed to show my shiny bald head from top down to everyone within 20 feet on the checkout screen. It is not a flattering angle.

politics @lemmy.world•Republican Caller Goes Scorched-Earth On His Own Party Live On C-SPANEnglish
7·2 days agoI don’t really have a dog in this fight since I’m more of a democratic socialist but the GOP has changed since I started voting in the late 80s, but not really taken over. It’s more like putting a tiny drop of food coloring in water. You didn’t really notice at first but eventually it’s quite obvious the color has changed. The favoring the rich has always been a common theme but the bend toward anti-intellectualism, single issue voters, racism, and pandering to the religious right were always there but it has definitely gotten way worse. So he’s not wrong it has changed. Could people like him have done more about this direction shift, hell yes. But in my opinion we need more of this realization to weed out this toxic behavior, not less.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump administration refuses international election monitors for first time in over 2 decadesEnglish
16·2 days agoWonder why this might be… hmmm.
You make some good arguments so I’m not attacking you at all, just my thoughts on your points. These short renewal times are getting to the point of ridiculousness and creating another point of failure with little time to do anything about it. I find these super short certs less than useful, create many more possible problems, and not really necessary except for a small set of circumstances. And I have been in IT as a web dev/sys admin/systems architect for over 30 years now.
- If a private key leaks you’ve likely done something wrong. Practice better key management and don’t be stupid
- Updating certs to keep up with new crypto standards is useless. For one they don’t change that often and if there is a pressing reason you can’t update earlier.
- Yes the processes have to be automated which is not a bad idea at all. But you are completely relying on the service to not be down and that something on your end hasn’t also broken. Anybody that hasn’t ever been a sys admin has had several automated process die for no apparent reason.
- This could actually be an issue but totally out of your control. This is only relevant if you domain hop frequently and if your that worried about security, you aren’t doing that.
One step closer to single use certificates. Great…
