The word “hack” is pre-internet. A “hack” journalist or a “hack job” is basically something unprofessional. It is movies that turned “hackers” into someone that gained access to the “mainframe”. In the realm of computer systems, I would argue that a “hack” is doing anything the system was not intended/designed to do. A successful DoS or DDoS needs to find some component of the system that wasn’t designed to handle the amount of traffic about to be sent to it.

There are protections for DDoS (iptables, fail2ban, Cloudflare and so on), you have to figure out a way around them, that’s a hack.

Ah, that’s right. Antipasto is Italian or something for first course.

I use if__name__main__ often when working with AWS Lambda, but I also want to run it locally. Lambda wants to call a function with the params event and context. So I would do something like this:

def handler(event, context):
    things
    return {
        'statusCode': 200,
        'body': 'Hello from Lambda!'
    }

if __name__ == '__main__':
    event = {}
    context = {}
    response = handler(event, context)
    print(response)

I think I’m an antipastafarian now. What do we worship? Hot dogs? Wikipedia?

My policy for the last 30 years has been; I shave for weddings and funerals. Worked well so far 👍

Nassau County in NY state passed a law this summer https://www.nyclu.org/press-release/nassau-county-mask-ban-signed-into-law YES, there are exceptions for health, religious or cultural reasons BUT they’ve also used it as probable cause to search someone https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nassau-county-police-issue-first-face-mask-ban-violation/5741363/ (it doesn’t matter that he was found with a knife. My son wears a mask because he thinks his nose is ugly)
