Yep, instant sync is never a guarantee. There still has to be a queue for command messages along with authentication plus authorization of said commands. And just like you said, you must be connected to a network that then can reach their cloud to even receive the command queue.

I run a sync service between multiple Active Directory domains as a result of a merger and the directories haven't been cutover yet. Along with this sync is a password sync that is normally instant. Most of the times (> 90%), less than a second. Sometimes 3 seconds. Other times? 2 minutes. Even when things are within the same LAN, there's the possibility of a backed up queue.

So yeah, this is purely on him trusting the sync implicitly and not verifying. In my case, I trust it too but will on occasion have to assist users because it's not infallible. Karma got him and I have zero sympathy.

The funny thing is, it's not actually hidden if you know how to see them. Just throw "/likes" after a profile. They only hid the fucking button.

Not exactly the same thing, but when I got my first VR HMD, for about two weeks afterwards I had to fight the urge that my real hands were the fake ones rather than the ones I would see in VR. Supposedly it's something like 25% of first time VR users who get a similar feeling, but it didn't make me feel any better about it. Never happened again, even with how rare I play VR games, but it was rather off-putting.

Oh just thought of another one: when I was playing WoW back in 2005, I got so into it that it was effecting everything. My social life died and it was effecting work enough that my boss had to have a long convo with me to get my shit together. But what really made me realize how bad it had gotten was having dreams where dialog with people I knew IRL was all in text and I would have to type responses to people when face to face with them.

For reference, they literally just broke VPNs for many people and corporations are now having to roll back updates for their staff

Spitz isn't a dev, they're a Community Manager, and a tone deaf one at that.

Lol oh I never said it's a good solution. The worst part isn't running IIS, it's running IIS on a domain controller. The better option is using a different domain for AD than your web domain, as long as it's a publicly registered domain for certificate purposes.

You can encrypt it for non-Proton users very easily.

Report it to spamcop.net and/or dnsbl.info so they actually get thrown into email blacklists.

I kept trying to figure out the joke about the name Swen Vincke and was failing. Cocks. It was right there in front of me everyone. It was Cocks.

More like 135°.
