It's useful to reframe this from "the manufacturer's fault". Lawmakers have a clear decision to make:

1). Prevent this business from existing.

2). Allow toy magnets to exist, thereby allowing X children to die from swallowing toy magnets.

I don't think this is ZenMagnet's fault. But I think placing a restriction on toy magnets is probably a net positive.


...which is why he used the SYS_ #defines.


I used Digital Ocean for a year. No problems, never sent spam. Then my mail started being spamfiltered, apparently because a neighbor was spamming. Seriously don't recommend using cloud hosts if you care about people receiving your email.


I used DO for a year without a problem, and then my IP was blacklisted (apparently a neighbor was spamming) and I couldn't do anything about it. Be warned, and frequently check if Google accounts receive mail frequently.


I ended up using an smtp service from Mailjet to get around this issue. 600 free emails a month.


How does your setup interface with Mailjet?


It's different because Edge is emphatically not more safe.


Can you blame them? Wine and hacking does sound like fun.


Undefined behavior is not illegal. The compiler can do anything with undefined behavior, including exactly what the author expected.


It is illegal, for any reasonable definition of illegal. See my comment from earlier in the year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10840497


"Illegal" seems stronger to me than "not strictly conforming", I guess (and so does "well-formed", for that matter). But I think we basically agree.


> No. Just No. > Docker has nothing to do with security.

Docker can totally reduce the risk of in-container services being exploited. It has sane defaults, and makes it easy to distribute other restrictions with the application (seccomp profile, apparmor settings, etc).


I get anxious about this too sometimes, but in my experience the "long lists of conditions that no one ever told me and assumed I knew" are hardly ever relevant.


I don't get anxious. I get tired of doing what people told me would work and having it go really badly.


Complaining about freely volunteered advice people give you in a friendly and helpful spirit is a good way to avoid getting it.


Well, that isn't what I was doing. Since you are not among those being actually helpful to me in this discussion, you are more than welcome to stay out of it if you feel that some remark of mine somehow constitutes bad behavior. I have upvoted every single reply that was useful to me and said thanks twice.


What were you doing? If someone volunteers advice, just be appreciative and try it if you want. Don't slag them off if it doesn't work out for you. It's not their fault they don't understand everything about what you need to do to implement their advice.
