Yeah that’s a whole other can of worms. I see this a lot at work where people are asking for direct database credentials and cringe every time.

Is it though? I haven’t used a framework since probably 2007 that doesn’t do this. There are the smaller, more DIY frameworks out there but I’ve never used them professionally.

Lately I’ve been dealing with tons of invalid byte sequences in MySQL dumps and it makes me question what the hell they’re allowing in there.

Unless you’re coding from scratch it’s hard to not do this with any modern framework.

I’ve been doing web development for something like 20 years now and I just can’t imagine how shitty your backend is if this is an issue.

Eh, out of all my own traffic I’ve MITM’d it’s mostly been third-party SDKs in apps doing creepy shit.

Down to hate on Gulf of America but when it comes to privacy it’s debatable.

Irrelevant: Scared me for a sec, thought I had an IP leak as I VPN to Switzerland but remembered I explicitly allowed Maps to be routed through a US VPN.

Now let’s fix GitHub’s glitchy-ass JavaScript on pull requests!

There are dozens all over GitHub. My “core” block list is HaGeZi Ultimate but there are several that block only Meta if that’s more your speed.

…and block all their domains! Just because you’re not on Facebook doesn’t mean Meta isn’t tracking you. See Pixel Hunt from The Markdown.

More generally turn off or limit cellular data on an app by app basis. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

When was the period reset? This always throws me off too because I forget you need to reset the counters manually.

I always thought it was so whatever company they contract with could show their brainwash ads

Huh? I’m referring to the “job listings” feature of X, not looking for job opportunities at X.

I’m referring to looking for jobs using X, not looking for a job at X (which I thought was clear when quoting the article’s mention of “job listings”).

X has added some features, like job listings

Who the fuck looks for jobs on X?

And block all their domains/IP ranges too. People really need to understand how third party tracking works.

What in the hashtags is going on here?
