> So if the minio maintainers (or anybody that forks the project and wants to work it) can fix any security issues that may occur I don't see any problems with using it.

The concerning language for me is this part that was added:

> Critical security fixes may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis

It seems to imply that any fixes _may_ be merged in, but there's no guarantees.


Yes this is concerning for me too. Hopefully if they don't fix/merge security issues somebody will fork and maintain it. It shouldn't be too much work. I'd even do it myself if I was experienced in golang.


> That aside, I’m confused about the 250ms thing. You don’t have to hit a Google API to construct a signed URL. It should just be a signature calculation done locally in your server. [0]

I assume the additional latency is the initial cred fetch from the VM Metadata Service to perform that sign, no?


Slight correction, the sales org uses GitLab, mainly to segregate any “code” they build for customers. Internal AWS/Amazon teams use an internal git-backed UI.


The fact that there was no dogfooding in many years here tells everything one needs to know about CodeCommit.


If AWS forced their teams to "dogfood", it would quickly morph into the Testuo blob monster from Akira -- there are too many products/services popping up too quickly, and the amount of time and knowledge lost to the constant changes would be catastrophic.

Dogfooding is for simpler companies. It's also bullshit and best for product managers and sales. Let tech work with what's best for their specific internal environment.

> I believe they had intentions of selling this tech to other stores but it never really took off (maybe uniqulo is using it?)

They did, it's called "Just Walk Out" - https://www.justwalkout.com/ and https://aws.amazon.com/just-walk-out/ . I've seen it a bunch at airports, and occasional random city locations.


To add onto your comment, I've also seen it used at quite a few stadiums.


Man I’d kill for that to be in every grocery store.


Just put the “self checkout” on the cart/trolley and take them directly to your car. “SmartCarts” have to be a thing at some point. …and they will put video ads on them.


As an opposite point - the airports I've been to have been pretty easy to opt-out, though they usually have snippy comments about "saying it up front".

That being said, did your airport not have signs talking about the pilot, and it being optional? I would of pointed to that if I was told no.


It was very early in the pilot process, and I was trying to board an international flight. There was little or no signage, and the TSA staffer told me I could not opt out when I asked. Not a great experience. Since Senator Markey has been harping on this it has improved.


> Why can’t T-Mobile issue me a free “advertising” eSIM that doesn’t actually provide service (or provides a ridiculously small amount)

Not sure if you’ve checked, but they actually do. On the iOS, I downloaded the TMobile app and was given the ability for a trial eSIM.


We must applaud these efforts. This was introduced by someone who did not look at eSIM as a mere virtual replacement for SIM cards, but a new tool with new capabilities.


Unsure if it was added recently, but Splunk Query Language does have VAL IN (1,2,3) now -> https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.1/SearchRef...


Splunk 7 added that from what I can find. 5 years old at least.


I've been using it for quite a while.


This looks to be that version: https://github.com/ehmicky/dev-tasks/blob/1f6cd2a9c7bc2146b7...

Though this was uploaded before April 1, and it doesn't appear to have any malicious code.


What’s your threat model? The latency you’re going to introduce with TOR will make everyday browsing slow


It’s not like I’d be running everything over Tor. DNS requests for newly‐visited domains would slow down, but unbound’s prefetch feature would keep popular frequently‐used domains cached. Adding one of those advertising domain blacklists might help performance too.

The point would be to keep Cloudflare from being able to track my DNS requests.


Why not use a VPN like PIA?


> Why not use a VPN like PIA?

A VPN gives you little protection against browser fingerprinting, which may alone leak enough information about you to identify you. Also privacy-by-policy is in no way near privacy-by-design. If you want privacy, use the Tor Browser.


What a bunch of false security you're providing. NSA had broken the TOR traffic quite a while back. Worthless.


Just because the protocol has a formal set of proofs, doesn't mean it's production ready. The very fact that the only releases are snapshots and not eligible for CVE's makes me weary of utilizing this in a non-testing environment.


"Not eligible for CVEs" means absolutely nothing.
