  • Japanese people are being fed the same kind of propaganda as UK citizens and Americans. People say ridiculous things like “What if the number of foreigners increases to 20% of the total population? Then women will be sexually assaulted.” Instead of immigrant gangs taking over apartment buildings and eating the pets it’s foreigners buying up all the land to build compounds for foreigners to live in and pooping in the streets.

    But there is also a feedback loop where nationalists in Japan make the news, and it’s repeated by right wing foreigners who don’t know Japan but admired their idealized, racially pure Japan where everyone is polite and orderly and this would never happen, and then that gets repeated to Japanese people as if it were large numbers of foreigners warning them not to let immigration ruin Japan as it has ruined those other countries. Most of the Japanese people in this loop don’t understand English, and the right wing foreigners don’t understand Japanese. The reality isn’t always faithfully translated in either direction, and the language barrier makes it harder for people to realize the discrepancy.












  • Giving a container access to the docker socket allows container escapes, but if you’re doing it on purpose with a service designed for that purpose there is no problem. Either you trust Watchtower to manage the other containers on your system or you don’t. Whether it’s managing the containers through a mounted docker socket or with direct socket access doesn’t make a difference in security.

    I don’t know if anybody seriously uses Watchtower, but I wouldn’t be surprised. I know that companies use tools like Argo CD, which has a larger attack surface and a similar level of system access via its Kubernetes service user.




  • You’re missing GitLab. I’d be looking at GitLab or Forgejo.

    But you might not need this. When you access a private Git repository, you’re normally connecting over SSH and authenticating using SSH keys. By default, if you have Git installed on a server you can SSH to and you have a Git repository on that server in a location you can access, you can use that server as a Git remote. You only really want one these services if you want the CI pipelines or collaboration tools.






  • He’s screwed. He and others in his administration made it an integral part of his platform. Whether it exists or not, his supporters, who have been trained to believe in a deep state conspiracy to cover up child abuse, cannot be convinced that it doesn’t exist, and the more he denies it the more suspicious he looks. Either releasing the evidence would end him, or through multiple layers of convenient, unbelievable incompetence the promised evidence really doesn’t exist. Really? Only one camera that can only see a sliver of a stairway was working and even that has a time gap, and the guards just happened to be slacking off on the night in question? It’d be hard to believe even if the Trump administration hadn’t made such a big deal about it and there wasn’t that photo going around of Trump and Epstein together.
