    Purolator is a bastard company I always freak out when I realize my online order defaulted to Purolator from the shipper’s end. I’d literally send more money so it can be anything else.

    Not shilling for FedEx but FedEx has come to my house rang my doorbell and stood there for 1 min and I’ve never seen any other company do this.








  • SQL injection is like this: you have something you can interact with on the browser like a form containing different values.

    You hit a button and that value is sent and merged into a SQL query.

    Say the value is an user ID and you’re deleting an account, perhaps your own.

    If the coder is incompetent the API will run this query: “DELETE FROM USERES WHERE ID = <id in form>”

    Which means that if you open the developer console, change the value field for that html ID you can break that SQL line and write more SQL, or you can delete other users based on their ID.

    Essentially editing a frontend input allows that input to be ran directly by the SQL engine. It’s like having full access.

    So through that ID field you can inject more SQL code. There’s multiple ways to do this, sometimes the URL itself on a website uses these query parameters like "&search=something” and the “something” is injected into the SQL string.

    SQL injection is baby’s first exploit, this method is like granting everyone DB access.



  • very hot take:

    regular people will never get rid of twitter or meta, Facebook. YouTube. it’s incompatible with their psychology.

    they need to use what other people are using, they need to see “content” from their followed users

    switching to another platform will kill that for them for weeks and stall their “growth”

    to be forward thinking and to give up something you’ve had is too much for the average person

    which is why I’m on Lemmy: there’s nothing reddit offers to me that makes me “give” it up, it’s always been there but now that there’s competition it’s worth trying something new out

    I honestly think id anything Lemmy will have a slow decrease of users until it comes to a halt

    okay. a weird thing about English is when people say “I’ll have a water” similar to “a grilled cheese”. why don’t they say the full thing? “a cup of water” or “a grilled cheese sandwich” same thing with coffee etc.

    saying “a” using an unit really bothers me





  • Reasons everywhere to leave reddit, Twitter and even YouTube (who we all probably thought they couldn’t ruin their reputation).

    And yet the masses won’t. They care too much about bots inflating their follow numbers and people with a community don’t want to make an effort to keep it outside of the platform. Twitter is at its worst it’s ever been but that doesn’t seem to matter to anyone.
