Neat, a potential FCC violation. I don’t know if this violates the advertisement disclosure requirement for political ads, but I bet someone at the FCC does.
I’m just going to leave this handy dandy FCC complaint form here. Don’t mind me.
Feeling cute, thought I’d submit a possible violation to the FCC, might submit more later, idk
Nice, tried the link and they couldn’t even set up https. Their target base won’t even be able to type that link out lol.
One random thing that really annoys me is that the site http://shakespeare.mit.edu does not properly forward http requests to https although they have an https version of the site.
Funniest thing I’ve ever seen is the docs for Nginx do the same, no http to https redirection. I mean, you would hope that the maintainers for the biggest web server in the world would be able to manage that but somehow… No they don’t.
server serves a protocol on a port. I would rather it not include logic like that. turn off the http port of you don’t want to serve http.
HSTS + HTTPS redirect is the answer. It’s industry standard for a reason: it’s just as safe as pure HTTPS since you can’t get anything other than a redirect over HTTP, and HSTS protects your users from future attempted MITM attacks. The MDN page for HSTS explains it all very clearly.
Any other implementation is an immediate audit fail in my experience.
There’s no tangible security benefit to fully disabling port 80, and if anything depending on the service it may just drive users away to shadier alternatives.
that would mean anyone going to http:// will perceive as the server being down so what you are saying will not work in practice
Apache tomcat had a stupid security issue. I recently did a HackTheBox about it. Here’s a write-up of the box https://medium.com/ctf-writeups/hack-the-box-jerry-write-up-6f045601315f
Why does reading Shakespeare need to be over SSL?
At least because search engines rank TLS enabled sites higher these days. And also, wrapping everything in TLS creates more noise against surveillance and makes surveillance more expensive.
So if this site has both HTTPS and HTTP versions, and it’s just Shakespeare, does it matter that much? I figure not which is why it’s not auto redirecting
SSL (or TLS nowadays) not only protects against surveillance but also guarantees the integrity of the data you send and receive. Without it, someone could spoof the response you receive. In practice this means injecting ads or malware or even worse: fake shakespeare!
Thanks for the explanation!
It is brutal how few people know how to implement it and how apps all seem to have their own ways of doing it. I have to keep notes for the quirks of every damn app/OS I work with that uses SSL/TLS.
Why man they doth share packets in the clear
If you are using Firefox, enable https everywhere setting and it fixes stuff like that
It will only give an error if there’s no https version that exists
Firefox has a built in setting that does the same. No need for the extension
They said to use the setting, nothing about extensions though.
Don’t you just need to toss an “.htaccess” file in the root?
No, an .htaccess file is specific to Apache HTTP Server… although some other web servers have integrated the format. However, most browsers now automatically redirect when an HTTPS version exists.
Wow, that’s funny.
Yeah, it made me laugh out loud.
Conservatives: “STOP MAKING EVERYTHING POLITICAL”
Also conservatives:
I went hiking recently. State park, at least a mile from the campground, peaceful and quiet.
Then I noticed something scrawled on one of the trail markers. Some dipshit wrote “Fuck Joe Biden” on it.
Holy shit, how miserable do you have to be to do that? To carry a marker and tag a tree just to express how you can’t stop thinking about the guy, and make it other people’s problem, even in the middle of nowhere when you’re not even around.
That yellowing of Tesla screens is some bullshit
Teslas are built like shit. What do you expect
A Tesla bro to come in and tell you how you’re wrong.
Its just slowly becoming more mexican
Some Latino guy somewhere is offended by your opinion
Well, they can speak for themselves.
IDK why all you social justice warriors feel the need to defend everyone else. Smh.
(/s … If it wasn’t obvious)
But isn’t that what lawyers are for? Because every group in society really is just a mythical gang of swole guys, but only in a good way, until you steal their cookies, but if you want the real story tune into vice news today
When we first talked about the touch-screen, the guys came back and said, ‘There’s nothing like that in the automotive supply chain,’” Musk said. “I said, ‘I know. That’s because it’s never been put in a fucking car before.’” Musk figured that computer manufacturers had tons of experience making seventeen-inch laptop screens and expected them to knock out a screen for the Model S with relative ease. “The laptops are pretty robust,” Musk said. “You can drop them and leave them out in the sun, and they still have to work.” After contacting the laptop suppliers, Tesla’s engineers came back and said that the temperature and vibration loads for the computers did not appear to be up to automotive standards. Tesla’s supplier in Asia also kept pointing the carmaker to its automotive division instead of its computing division. As Musk dug into the situation more, he discovered that the laptop screens simply had not been tested before under tougher automotive conditions, which included large temperature fluctuations. When Tesla performed the tests, the electronics ended up working just fine.

He still applies this attitude today in all matters.
They also continued to put these screens in cars even though they knew about the issue. Definitely would never buy a Tesla again.
The link redirects to an Americans for prosperity form, hosted on an domain hosted by the i-360 political data platform. And also…
“Americans for Prosperity (AFP), founded in 2004, is a libertarian conservative political advocacy group in the United States affiliated with brothers Charles Koch and the late David Koch.[6] As the Koch family’s primary political advocacy group, it is one of the most influential American conservative organizations.[7][8]” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans_for_Prosperity#:~:text=Americans for Prosperity (,%5B7%5D%5B8%5D
The Koch brothers are an example of the problem posed to democracy of having huge amounts of money in a few hands
Absolute dirtbags. Them calling themselves libertarian is a fucking joke.
They are the writers of some of the earliest libertarian “doctrine”, dude get a fucking clue. They are libertarianism. These assholes are so libertarian they put “privatize water ways” in their dogma.
What planet do you live on???
Lmfao.
The word libertarian is older than the conservative appropriation of it. It used to be an explicitly leftist label, referring to what we would consider today to be anarchists or communalists.
Maybe they had some historical validity, but the current form is just standard conservative bullshit.
They were the first for AMERICAN libertarianism. Which isn’t what the rest of the world calls it.
I wonder what that mushbrain even thinks “Bidenomics” is, like the government’s been doing anything that isn’t basic capitalist theory.
You can find out pretty easily by looking at the website. It’s a letter-writing campaign.

I’ve been all around the country, and ofc there are exceptions but radio in general is ridiculously conservative. If I have to hear another Christmas song I might just lose it…
That’s because a great deal of it is owned by Sinclair, and they love putting right-wing messages on their radio and TV stations in one form or another.
What kinds of right-wing messages do they put on their air?
Anti-immigration, vaccine skepticism, defunding critical social services, anti-intellectual, anti-education, anti- not being gigantic assholes to other people just because we’re not all the same.
This is by no means an exhaustive list.
You are saying Christmas music is “ridiculously conservative”? wtf, is the holiday season. You have plenty of other stations that don’t play it to listen to.
Not where I live, 9/10 are playing that 24/7 and the best I can really hope for otherwise is a Pink Floyd single. Also I’m a pagan who doesn’t believe in a heavily revised book of total hodgepodge so I hate having it shoved in my face. Which is inevitable working in a coffeeshop…
Have you tried not being a grumpy godless commie? Imagine saying that Christmas is conservative.
You don’t have to be a godless commie to dislike having a religious event be commercialised and shoved down your throat months before the event.
Christmas is the fricking most magical glorious perfect impeccable dazzling time of year, motherlover! How DARE you pitiful grinches not love every single jolly holly jingly bit of it, motherlover! What is fricking wrong with you freaks?! Have you no festive spirit, noPopulated forests of pine trees covered in twinkling rainbow lights that blanket me in cozy, tinsel-y warmth, b-word? No army of nutcracker soldiers marching up the fricking stairs bearing plates of fudgy butter cookies and mugs overflowing with marshmallowy hot cocoa, b-word? No glistening angels fluttering through the fricking alleyways at midnight, telling stories of poor skeletal children whose bones are fricking decomposing in the fricking cemetery because they don’t have proper Christmas dinners to nourish them, b-word? YOU SHOULD, motherlover! Let their blood and marrow splatter all over youuntil you finally understand the fricking true meaning of Christmas, you naughty scrooges, motherlover! Now if you’ll excuse me, I have gingerbread houses to build while I listen to Madonna’s Christmas album on repeat for all eternity.
Great example to back up my complaint.
Mhhhmmm Pasta
Christmas is so conservative, it’s capitalist, deceitful and alienating. Literally a textbook example of why conservatism is bad - we should be giving gifts and showing appreciation to each other all year! Also, yeah sorry no interest in a lobotomy, thanks
tried not being a grumpy godless commie?
You know you’re in Lemmy, right?
Radio - that could reach dozens of people!
Still pretty common in cars.
I had a pokemon go player who’s nickname was “fikjoebiden” lol
I’ve found the censorship on things like youtube and such to be wildly inconsistent. I’ve seen obvious nazi or racist profile pics on youtube that have been up for years. Post a video though of a band playing a copywritten piece and it is down in a few weeks.
Before Musk, Twitter claimed that they couldn’t effectively censor Nazi stuff because it was too similar to what Republicans post, so… yeah.
Seems perfectly consistent to me. Enforcement when financially beneficial.
Your screen looks really dirty.
It’s not dirt it’s the shit screens Tesla uses. They use a glue that yellows over time. Fucking war crime if you ask me.
EDIT: actually on second glance it’s dirty as shit too. The yellow on the left is the glue I mentioned.
yucky af
It wasn’t from some stupid commercial?
Yeah. That’s what I’m thinking. I’ve seen websites on my car display that match up with the commercial that’s playing. If that website paid for ad time, then there’s nothing shady going on here. Well, no more shady than any other advertising.
They have different metadata during regular commercials. And doing metadata during songs. This only shows up when the “DJ” is speaking.
You mean the pre recorded “live” entertainment person?

What’s wrong with radio companies exercising their first amendment rights?
What’s wrong with us dunking on dumb takes like this one?
Their little feelings are hurt.
Nothing, I’m not the one seething about a stupid radio ad.
Ah, yes, here we all are, seething.
HONEY FETCH MY SEETHING COAT, ITS A BAD ONE.
