I feel like #1 and #2 are problems whether its client side or server side. As for #3 I would lean in the direction of there being a one-time check with no persistent knowledge. Like when you flash your ID to the bartender to order a drink. A client app that scans the ID and returns the answer to the requestor.
But I don’t think there is any way to reliably implement this sort of thing. I think it should really just be left to parental control and monitoring.
Some kind of cryptographic signing of the executable could probably help with that.
Ultimately I don’t believe there can ever be a foolproof solution and the emphasis should be on client-side parental controls.
This goes in a better direction than web sites doing it themselves, I think. The government put out an open source tool that runs locally and the browser just gets a yay/nay return code from it.
I just bought a few WD drives direct, but their web site has a problem with validating virtual credit card numbers. I’m the few days it took to resolve it the price went up. Fortunately since I had the support ticket I was able to get refunded the difference.
yeah I almost picked one up a few years back. eventually went with an El Capistan.
What if it was just an off the cuff joke?
You know Russ, I’ve been known to fuck myself.
I guess you’re not thinking of “locked down” in terms of independent developers finding the iOS and Android “play by our rules and be distributed thru our app store or we’ll make it hard for users to run your software” to be a barrier to distribution.
Footstomp for self-oscillation is one of my favorite delay pedal things.
I was referring to this
If this technology is successful, the end result could be that we would see our Linux laptops one day being as locked down as an Iphone or Android device.
Because if there’s one thing Linux users think about their systems … it’s “hey why does this thing let me do what I want?”
I mean you’re not wrong.
It seems to have stabilized itself over the last 24 hours. I haven’t touched the configuration on either side. Weirdy McWeirdsalot.

Well, I haven’t actually touched the configuration on either the Firewalla or resolved yet, and it seems to have magically stabilized itself. Been resolving correctly for all day. Really appreciate you trying to help me out, regardless.

I do actually have far more services deployed on the .50 IP than I do other servers with an explicit DNS rule defined. I have a TLS cert deployed with a wildcard SAN for *.home.example.com on that one server, and use reverse proxy to send the traffic to the right service based on hostname. The other couple of rules are just when I need to override that for a service on a different server (like running something on my Pi).
It would make sense that there’s a CNAME buried in there on the router, but the dig results going direct to the router don’t include that record. I’ll poke around to see if I can find where there’s a CNAME, though, and keep harping on it to Firewalla support.
I can promise you this is not a resolved issue. If it was, you’d be seeing posts like this everywhere. It’s behaving as it should.
I get what you’re saying, and it’s all logical and rational. But when consistently every one of several dozen other clients/devices on the network that aren’t using resolved are working, and only resolved is not, it’s kind of pointless to say everyone else is doing it wrong. Being technically correct doesn’t matter much at that point.
Perhaps you forgot he already posted an AI video of Obama being shoved to the floor in the oval office and arrested by the FBI.
Resolution is just fixing your DNS to work properly.
What do you suggest I do for that? What records? I do have more manual control of it via the shell than what the UI offers, and it’s running dnsmasq under the covers. Note, I do also have a support ticket open with Firewalla, they’re pointing the finger at resolved.
If it’s open source it can be verified that it’s not storing the data.
And I 100% agree that software scanning an ID is an overall bad way to verify. With a CC# validation at least that shows up on my statement, but if my kid is sneaky enough to get mine out of my wallet I have no way of knowing.
