Right. Content creator: Can you distribute my content? Only in $list-of-countries though. Distributor: Sure. If the distributor permits VPNs, how are they sure they are authorized to distribute?

One of the unexpected benefits for me has been that I can lock any OAuth enabled app to a container for the OAuth provider I use. To login, I check which container I'm in and click the associated button. Before this I'd always for

Same MacBook, same SSD upgrade. I haven't replaced the battery, I tend to stay near an outlet anyway. Debian and Ubuntu work great on it, so I moved off OSX.

How are folks using light weight cloud resources approaching password hashing? The `10s of gigabytes of RAM` feels like an expensive requirement. Even lower memory, high iteration count sha256 seems expensive for something like AWS Lambda w

Agreement from me, although I'd avoid double booking. Double booking means that other people are expecting you to attend, they may wait to see if more people join, or need to reschedule if the right audience isn't able to make it.
