I've recently stumbled upon the possibility to share a VPC and use one VPC with multiple accounts: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/building-scal...

I'm honestly not sure if thats a great idea, but this might be a possible way to do one account per DB/backend/frontend in a somewhat sane way.

On Firefox its in the Debugger Tab of the DevTools. On the top right you can deactivate all breakpoints (which includes the debugger statement).

There is a similar button on chrome, but I am not sure if that also applies to the debugger statement.

Luckily Microsoft also provides a service for that: Safelinks https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/off...

Also a personal favorite of mine: http://microsft.com (not entirely sure if its just to prevent typosquatting or if this is actually used in some products)

Sometimes you have constraints and are limited to crontabs. For example when you are using autoscaling on AWS EC2 (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/ec2/userguide/ec2-au...).

I know, with eventbridge and lambdas this problem could be alleviated a bit, since eventbridge uses cron syntax but with some added bells and whistles ( https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-...) which would make the expression for the first monday of each month much easier to write.

Currently Amazon Linux 2 is used for AWS workspaces (virtual desktops), so it doesn't seem far fetched that they'll eventually allow AL2022 for it as well.

Kind of curious then, why there isn't any way to do the Wildcard challenge without API Access for DNS. Using this kind of delegation would make it possible to signal in DNS that there should be a special http challenge somewhere that would allow for a wildcard certificate. A DNS/HTTP challenge hybrid

OAuth 2.0 is meant for Authorization. Multiple parties used if for Authentication, which is why a standardized Authentication layer was built on top of OAuth which is called OpenID Connect.

It would be possible to just make the encrypted file publicly available and only distribute the key shares to each "horcrux". The shares themselves should be the size of the key that is used for encryption.

Reads to me like that only Faceit does this. They provide an alternative matchmaking service that is separate to the one provided by valve. The bans are most likely also limited to Faceit
