Has anyone used password breach lists to prevent account takeover? I think we've seen it for the first time on Lobsters. I feel out of my depth yoloing security controls and would appreciate advice: github.com/lobsters/lobsters/i

I'm struggling with some maths :(

Alice lives in the USA. She runs a forum for people interested in carding wool.

Alice's forum has 1000 registered users who can post to the forum, of which 100 are in the UK.

Anyone can read the forum without logging in, and Alice gets 500 hits a month from UK IP addresses.

Alice makes zero money from her forum.

Candy is a lawyer in the UK. They charge £300/hour.

Geoblocking UK IP addresses is free.

How much legal advice must Alice take to work out if she has a significant number of UK users for the purposes of the UK's #OnlineSafetyAct?

In re revealing personal details here: the largest reason this account has my name on it is that for me, that ship sailed years ago, back when the Internet was a much smaller and different place, and I lack the energy to start over from complete scratch with a disconnected identity. And there are plenty of things I don't talk about here. I encourage everyone starting now to learn from the past and just be a cat (or a dog or etc).

In re: progressivecafe.social/@TonySt (a sentiment I heartily endorse)

I really want to be able to cram this shit right up the assholes of every single shithead who said "oh Trump won't be so bad, he's just bluster" or "both sides are the same".

Kyle MacLachlan as Dale Cooper in Twin Peaks, in a black suit, white shirt and black tie drives a car whilst speaking into a dictaphone.

"Diane, 11:30 a.m., February 24th. Entering the town of Twin Peaks."

Happy Twin Peaks Day, peakies.
