kjaftaedi commented on I got fired for sharing my salary on TikTok   nypost.com/2022/07/21/i-g... · Posted by u/ijidak

TikTok is social media, not NPR or The Guardian. You will get laughed out of the room with that argument.

The NLRB and courts can sort it out, and at least the NLRB hasn’t been too fond of employer shenanigans and bad faith behavior as of late. An attorney quoted in the piece even mentions the person in question should contact an attorney, and she has nothing to lose and everything to gain by pursuing the employer through legal and regulatory mechanisms. What are they going to do, fire her more?

I think you are confused.

Sharing your salary is one thing.

Saying that you are an employee at X company and make X dollars is giving away both your salary and corporate information.

The key is not involving the company. Share your salary as much as you want, but don't go on social media and say 'I work for X' unless you are actually their representative.

It does matter, I skip using a lot of airline apps and some bank apps, because of the horrible experience they provide.

It’s easier to do it via their website.

You're equating horrible experience with cross platform architectures, whereas there are any number of reasons apps can be bad.

It is perfectly possible to build a poor app in any language.

I can assure you the answer clicked before my research ever started. Unless I am using web server software that responds with one site for multiple host names, you generally need to configure each host name that might be used with your web server as a different "site" (i.e Apache) / configuration. I could have simply edited my hosts file with hidusi[.]com pointing to my web server and created a separate site configuration to serve the hidusi[.]com domain with the second stage. What I was saying in my last response was that instead of using my hosts and having to create this new site configuration (or modify existing with an alias), I could just swap out the domain in the document and use my web server's current state without any additional modification required. It was simply more convenient to change a single domain rather than update my web server's configuration to support requests for the hidusi[.]com alias. There is no significance to using the original domain for serving the second stage, I think you all are all just overthinking it :)

All web servers respond to all hostnames. It is the default unless you have configured it otherwise.

In the event you are doing virtual hosts in Apache, you just add a single line:

ServerAlias www.example.com

And your webserver will respond when queried via this hostname.

So, even in the worst case scenario, we are talking about two very basic lines of text to accomplish your goal.

The whole setup should take about 60 seconds.

I am not trying to say that your approach is wrong, but just that there is a much simpler way to go about accomplishing this goal.

As far as "overthinking it".. I think we are going to have to disagree here because I am unable to see how your method of reverse engineering can possibly be simpler than something that takes practically no time or effort.

At any rate, this is not an argument, I just want you to be aware of your options as you continue your research.

I wish you luck as you continue exploring, and thanks for the writeup :)

Yes, but at the time I already had an existing domain with a web server I could use. You are correct that I could have setup a separate site for hidusi[.]com and then point the domain directly at my web server's IP, but since I already had a domain/web server configured, it was much easier just to swap the domain in the document.
kjaftaedi · 4 years ago
Your comments give me the impression this isn't totally clicking just yet.

All that is necessary is to add an entry in your hosts file for hidusi[.]com that points to the IP of your existing server.

That's it. Step completed.

No localhost, no new site, just using what you have already.

In the event you are filtering hostnames on your web server, you would just add hidusi[.]com as another alias.

Please let me know if this is not clear because I believe understanding this concept will help you in the future.

I found it ironic that this initial quote seemed to be the intent of the article... which then goes on to display charts and equations that are unlikely to jive with a six year old.
kjaftaedi · 4 years ago
This concept is not about explaining things in terms a 6 year old can understand.

It's about understanding the subject matter well enough that if necessary you could simplify and elaborate on topics to bring your audience to your level of understanding.

(i.e. - understanding your subject vs. being able to recite facts)

You really come to terms with how well you know a subject when you sit down and try to teach it to someone else.

>Since the original "hidusi[.]com" domain was down, we needed to host our version of side.html. Hosting a file is easy, but how do we make the Word document use our domain instead

What's interesting here is the author just didnt host their own internal dns infrastructure. Editing the file is simple in it's own way, but I guess coming from an operations side I'd have setup a DNS and http server to handle it.

kjaftaedi · 4 years ago
Every system has a hosts file that you can edit for exactly this purpose.

No need to set up DNS at all.

Your system will resolve whatever hostnames you want to whatever IP addresses you want. You just add the entries to a text file.

It will always override whatever results come from DNS.

The author definitely went the long way with this approach.

DuckDuckGo should have its own browser. This way the no track is more sound.
kjaftaedi · 4 years ago
They will have one soon, and they have a mobile browser already, which is my default.

> Here (Iceland) it's free to transfer money between individuals via your bank.

Yes, but what’s the average Icelander’s monthly bank account fee?

In the US, it’s a bit fat zero.

kjaftaedi · 4 years ago
We don't have bank account fees.

Another fun fact: pretty much everyone here pays off their credit card every month.

The bank will close your account if you do not.

Of course there are exceptions, but this is the general rule.

(if you need money the bank will lend it to you and help you arrange payments)
