  • Imagine unironically using the words “good thing” to describe a number of civilian casualties above 0, let alone above half of total casualties.

    That’s wild man.

    Civilian casualties of war aren’t just a statistic. Those are real people that just wanted to live happy lives. Less than 1% of any number over 100 is a number I’m not happy about, and anyone with a heart should be furious about the number of civilians dying in Gaza. Especially when those numbers are such a high percentage. If you can’t fight a war without that kind of casualty count, then you either don’t fight the war or you accept that what you are doing is a genocide, not a war. IDF has very clearly made their choice on this.



  • Oh man, I feel your pain… I was in general customer-facing support for three different enterprise security/identity service providers from 2014 until a year ago. That shit was torturous sometimes. Now with that third of those three I’m the dedicated guy for just two of our larger customers and it’s fuckin great compared to that. Always dealing with the same handful of very very competent people is so refreshing.















  • Any company taking 2FA seriously will either compensate you for the requirements to fulfill that security, or provide you with the devices necessary. I used to work at Duo. I currently work for another company that does more or less the same thing. Your company’s security team will do whatever it takes to get you compliant because not doing that is on them and not you.

    It’s honestly wild for a company to allow an employee to be on the verge of locked out of critical services and not be resolving that on their own. They have the metrics in duo to be able to see that you have no viable device to 2FA with.





  • EDIT: I’ve just done some quick research and it seems like stellarsan is a locally made equivalent to starsan in Australia. It’s probably so much cheaper just because it’s not an import.

    Starsan is a recognizable trusted brand. I know exactly what I’m getting when I buy starsan. I have never before heard of stellarsan and cannot vouch for how well it works. I will say that the fact they’ve specifically chosen a name that could feasibly be confused with the established brand does not bode well for their own legitimacy.

    That’s the reason for the price difference I would guess. Name recognition vs taking a gamble on some unknown brand

    If you must buy online because you don’t have a local homebrew store, I recommend only doing so through a reputable seller that specializes in brewing supplies. Amazon is not ideal, and I’m not sure if kegland can be trusted as I’ve never heard of them. Try to make connections with other brewers in your area and see where they are ordering things from. Sadly, from what I’ve heard Australia is not the easiest place to source…well, anything from lol
