You can pay for a 3rd party to penetration test your app, it's good practice to do this before you launch an app, after any significant changes, and annually at a minimum.

There are also a growing number of companies offering continuous penetration testing - basically, automated pen tests - but these are expensive and it's difficult to convince companies that the cost is worth it

Would you trust it at this point though? The most likely explanation in my mind is that both Dems and Republicans are on the list, including DT. Dems didn't release it prior to the election because it'd blow back on them as well, and Trump thought he could get away with running on releasing it and then never actually doing it - which has now backfired. This whole thing stinks

This test is clearly intended to be deceptive. For example, with Q1 should I circle the number '1' or 'a'? With Q4 how do you draw a line around something? 11 is clearly a trick question designed to put pressure on people.

I'm autistic and whilst I could confidently argue an answer for these questions, I'm pretty sure someone would disagree with the reasoning I use, and a single failure means I fail the test

Leather isn't a free byproduct, in many cases less CO2 is emitted by not using the hide and just producing an alternative instead

It's not, cotton seats are also a thing. And even the polycarbons are usually recycled anyway

I'm not convinced raising a whole living being that eats plants, and harvesting its skin is that much more energy efficient than just using a plant fibre

It absolutely is, it's naive to think these puritans will just decide to stop here

Oh 100%, I'm a republican (lowercase R, in the British sense). I just find it ironic that the US portrays itself as having removed monarchy, when it was just replaced with dictator that has a term limit

You're conflating colourism with racism, I'm guessing you're in the US and your primary exposure to racism is via colourism?

This is patently false and just a rehash of the same old attitude we've seen so frequently before.

If you're going to be a bigot at least try and be original

Ironically, our king has incredibly limited power that is enforced by a strong belief that religion should be separate from politics and an independent judiciary. Your king doesn't seem to have the same hurdles

Hetzner VMs generally, there are a couple of issues I've needed to workaround like private IP assignment with terraform, but other than that, if you're comfortable deploying a k8s cluster yourself, just throw things on the cluster. The VMs aren't the fastest but they give the biggest bang for your buck.

I'm currently experimenting with scaleway, but the cost is pretty high, so I'll probably just migrate over to dedicated machines in hetzner and add more machines as the cluster grows

Not as far as I know, but the self-hosting community is generally moving over to VM runners and off the vendored solutions, any cloud provider can give you those.

Scaleway gives the most was style of services like managed kubernetes, FAAS, managed gateway etc. you pay for the convenience though.

Whilst WhatsApp is still owned by meta and I'm sure the US military would have a lot use for the metadata they collect, let's be honest, I'm sure Putin would prefer if Russians switched to a platform they can spy on themselves

From what I've heard from Americans, the standard of dress for basic tasks like going to the shop is apparently high compared to the same in America

This is why I'm migrating all the servers I own to EU data centres owned by EU companies. It's insanely hard to get enterprises off the big 3 cloud providers, but for the smaller clients I support they don't know why difference and in the long run it ends up saving then money

A shadow contract is one of few mechanisms to enter large-scale consensus (it isn't THAT large when compared to a solar or galactic scale, but large enough for planetary control, and with some clever management, can scale larger).

You don't know that, I've seen shadow contracts that apply to intergalactic scales. I would wager they can be used for interdimensional organisations

That makes no sense to me, it just reinforces the fact that the US president is essentially just an king that gets elected and has a term limit

It's absolutely wild that the US president is able to pardon convicts. Like you have a supposedly independent legislature and judiciary, and the the president can just go "nuh-uh" to anything he doesn't like

Yes it is, it's essentially giving people with children extra votes to use.
