To bypass a Chrome certificate/HSTS error, you can type ‘badidea’ (previously ‘thisisunsafe’) without quotes (this might change in the future)

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/11

For expired or self-signed certificates with an untrusted chain, you might want to by base the Chrome certificate/HSTS error message.

Instead of clicking a few times, you can also type ‘badidea’ (this used to be ‘thisisunsafe’ and might change again someday).

Based on: [WayBack] security – Does using ‘badidea’ or ‘thisisunsafe’ to bypass a Chrome certificate/HSTS error only apply for the current site? – Stack Overflow

Found via [WayBack] KPN-klanten kunnen Experiabox V10A niet benaderen door verlopen certificaat – Computer – Nieuws – Tweakers

Source code that handles this: [WayBack] components/security_interstitials/core/browser/resources/interstitial_v2.js – chromium/src – Git at Google

/**
 * This allows errors to be skippped by typing a secret phrase into the page.
 * @param {string} e The key that was just pressed.
 */
function handleKeypress(e) {
  var BYPASS_SEQUENCE = 'badidea';
  if (BYPASS_SEQUENCE.charCodeAt(keyPressState) == e.keyCode) {
    keyPressState++;
    if (keyPressState == BYPASS_SEQUENCE.length) {
      sendCommand(SecurityInterstitialCommandId.CMD_PROCEED);
      keyPressState = 0;
    }
  } else {
    keyPressState = 0;
  }
}

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/11

Searching for Windows error codes (like the ones in blue screens) often leads to web-sites with an incomplete list.

This is very complete: [WayBack] [MS-ERREF]: NTSTATUS Values | Microsoft Docs

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/10

Did you also wonder about the nice handwriting in the diagrams of yesterday’s post @adamsand0r drew up a few sketches of design decisions needed to be taken when building a #gitops-based CD pipeline « The Wiert Corner – irregular stream of stuff?

I did too.

They are from [Archive.is] Excalidraw | Hand-drawn look & feel • Collaborative • Secure, with source code at [Archive.is] GitHub – excalidraw/excalidraw: Virtual whiteboard for sketching hand-drawn like diagrams.

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/10

From a while back, but still relevant when you learn all your life:

[Archive.is] 🔎Julia Evans🔍 on Twitter: “ten questions about UDP: “

[WayBack] UDP questions

Hello! Here are some questions & answers. The goal isn’t to get all the questions “right”. Instead, the goal is to learn something! If you find a topic you’re interested in learning more about, I’d encourage you to look it up and learn more

OpenSuSE tumbleweed switched to using /etc/sudoers.d which broke yast module sudo somewhere mid 2020

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/09

Mid 2020, I re-installed a Raspberry Pi 2 box based on OpenSuSE Tumbleweed.

To my susprise the yast2 module sudo could not write the configuration.

It appeared that /etc/sudoers had become readonly and a new /etc/sudoers.d was created.

You can use visudo to edit files in that directory without potentially losing changes in /etc/sudoers during upgrades. I think that is a good move.

To bad the yast module failed because of it.

More on visudo and the /etc/sudoers.d directory:

/me is a 1x.engineer

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/09

It is totally OK to be an 1x engineer instead of a 10x engineer.

The link below shows why, what 1x engineers actually do and how much value they add.

[WayBack/Archive.is] 1x Engineer

The official website of 1x Engineers around the world.

If you have more to add to that list, feel free to add a pull request to the underlying repository: [WayBack/Archive.is] GitHub – cutenode/1x.engineer: The official website of 1x Engineers around the world

Corona testlocaties; testen zonder afspraak in de coronatestbus – GGD Amsterdam

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/08

Voor mijn linkarchief:

NB: Testen zonder afspraak kan sowieso op de XL teststraat op de Loevensteinse Randweg 110 te Schiphol.

Edit 20211119: de communicatie was kennelijk niet zo helder voor testen zonder afspraak (:
