DDOS against a little self hosted instance isn’t really a concern I’d have. I’d be more concerned with the scraping of private information, ransomware, password compromises, things of that nature. If you keep your edge devices on the latest security patches and you are cognizant on what you are exposing and how, you’ll be fine.

But not at odds with running a corporate environment.

Lmao beautiful. Yeah, I know someone people are just flat inconsiderate and that’s fine. It’s more for me anyways to assume they aren’t an intentional asshole. I do think everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, but I’m aware that excuses some assholes that shouldn’t be as well. I’m at a point in life where I’d rather let a few of them pass than accuse someone whose intentions weren’t malicious. Honestly though… I still mutter “asshole” to myself regardless of who they are lol, I just try to mentally check in on why they might not be.

I’m sure the lives of those in this parking lot are in very little peril.

Both of those are concepts I try to keep in mind. On the whole, people are just trying to live their lives and mean nothing personal by their actions whether they are inconsiderate or not.

I absolutely do pay attention to the lines and am fastidious about not being too close to other vehicles. I’m just saying I see how this can happen, even if I could never see myself doing this.

Distracted people do bone head things and most anyone can be caught up in their own head. It might be that they have multiple sources of high stress overwhelming them, or they had some shocking news, or they are just flat out trying to figure a problem in their life.

I try to give people the benefit of the doubt more now. I try to look for a logical mistake, like in this case coming in the lot in the wrong direction and not paying attention to the lines and realizing not everyone is fastidious as me about parking, I can see the potential for an error like this. Assuming everything is intentional just makes more people upset. Assuming intentionality also dehumanizes the person a little because they aren’t given the chance to be a human that made a mistake.

That’s not to say I never think people are assholes or idiots. I just try to think of a frame for the action. It’s still irresponsible of them to do this, but seeing that as unintentional first instead of intentional first helps me not be as upset with them.

Or very distracted. Not excusing them, just saying. Not every action is a purposeful asshole. They could be an innocent asshole lol

The way it’s angled is like they came in the wrong way on a directional parking lot and parked at the angle for if the lot had been reversed. Probably not an idiot but definitely not paying attention. Lol

There is an old joke about being so gay you can’t even park straight…but I’m not sure that’s what’s going on here. Lol

Nope

I avoided using telegram when it asked for my phone number.

I also get frustrated with how ubiquitous they’ve become. I want darkness in my house at night, I don’t like LEDs winking at me from all over the place and I hate placing electrical tape over them but there are few options that aren’t permanently damaging.
