Uber's questionable business practices

2026-02-25T21:14:58Z

Tessus: Created page with "Once again I find myself confounded how brazen and intransigent companies can be. A few days ago I ordered some food via Uber Eats. A window popped up and gave me the option to add something else from another store without having to pay additional delivery fees. "Nice, not bad," I thought. Since I ordered Korean I quickly checked LCBO for soju and added 2 bottles. I got another popup that told me that the driver will check my ID and whether I am sober. Great, all good...."

Once again I find myself confounded how brazen and intransigent companies can be.

A few days ago I ordered some food via Uber Eats. A window popped up and gave me the option to add something else from another store without having to pay additional delivery fees. "Nice, not bad," I thought. Since I ordered Korean I quickly checked LCBO for soju and added 2 bottles. I got another popup that told me that the driver will check my ID and whether I am sober. Great, all good.

I am Gen X and even though I look younger than my age, I certainly do not look younger than 19. Nevertheless I showed the driver my driver's licence without him having to ask for it. He gives me the alcohol and then tries to take my ID to take a picture of it. What? Hold on. Full stop.

Of course there was no way to talk to anyone at Uber, so the driver used his app to chat with support or what I suspected was a bot.

I told the driver to mention the following points:

* The website stated that the driver will check my ID, not that the driver will take a picture of my ID. Otherwise I wouldn't have ordered alcohol in the first place.
* When I go to LCBO (or any other store that requires an ID for purchasing alcohol) and they ask for an ID (which they don't since I am undoubtedly over 19), they don't take a picture of my ID.
* When I order alcohol from other delivery services, none of them take a picture of my ID. They might want to check my ID, but that's it.
* They already have my credit card info on file, and many other companies do age verification via the credit card. The credit card shows the same name as my driver's licence.
* I don't trust Uber to keep my data safe. This is sensitive personal information that can easily be used for identity theft.

After 10 minutes or so I had to give the driver my 2 bottles of soju and he left.

My conclusion is as follows:

* Uber misrepresented (in fact lied about) the process for purchasing alcohol.
* Uber is more than just intransigent, but incapable of using common sense.
* Uber picks and chooses how to "enforce" their requirements: I did not have to take a breathalyzer test to receive the alcohol.

What's even worse is that you can't even contact Uber. There is no way to send an email or call to talk to someone. I don't have the app installed on my phone, I exclusively use the web browser for Uber Eats and on the web there is no way to open a ticket.

I guess I'll have to keep track of which companies do not lie on their web site. For now it is clear that I will never order alcohol via Uber Eats again.

Stay at home order

2025-12-03T08:02:52Z

Tessus:

Canada is probably one of the worst countries to live in during the pandemic. We have politicians who listen to so-called "health-experts" who flip-flop their opinions sometimes on a weekly basis. Do these "top doctors" even have a PhD in medicine? I don't think so. Marketing is more like it. And they are not really good at that either.

First, they killed off the most vulnerable populace in the LTCs and senior homes. Only 4 months after the shit storm started they mandated masks in those institutions. Well done. But I'm the one who's responsible for them dying staying at home and going grocery shopping. Canadian logic. Lockdown will fix that fuck up. Yeah, sure. Now, even though "inmates" are vaccinated they are still locked into their rooms without even allowed to get a shower. Or to go outside.

Every other month some fuckhead politician thinks that a lockdown will solve our problems. In reality those are problems they created. Yet, it's just a half-baked lockdown. Schools are still open, 1/3rd of the people flying into Canada are exempt from those idiotic forced hotel stays and concentration camps. And the 1 percent who are actually positive are national travellers. Another great job our government did there. Then, against all international advisors Canadian "health experts and top doctors" think that 4 months between vaccinations is a good idea. WAKE UP!!!

Our economy is done for the next 40 years. And who will pay for that fuck up? We... we will. Because a few politicians "thought" they did the right thing. All this while flying off to the Caribbean ignoring all the rules they forced onto the populace. Great job, Canada. I'm very proud.

I'm sick and tired of our politicians. In other countries people go into a pharmacy and buy a self-testing kit for 7-9 dollars. Which they take before they meet up. But here in Canada I am in a full lockdown and told that it's my fault that people die all over the province. People I have never even met.

I'm not an anti-masker. I'm ok wearing one. But.... I have to wear a mask not to contract and not to transmit the virus. But when I'm positive I have to quarantine and can't go outside - even with a mask. So what is it? Masks only help, when nobody is infected? In which case, why do I have to wear one in the first place?
This is pretty much an either/or thing. You can't have it both ways. This is what drives me crazy. This inconsistent BS pushed by media and "top doctors" (I call them ignorant fools, because that's all they are. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR KILLING ALL THESE PEOPLE IN OUR PROVINCE).

Anyway, it's not that I'm just disappointed. It's the first time I'm truly embarrassed being Canadian.

The NET::ERR CERT VALIDITY TOO LONG idiocracy

2025-12-03T08:00:52Z

Tessus:

I'm not sure what they were thinking, but the <code>NET::ERR_CERT_VALIDITY_TOO_LONG</code> error, or better said the reason for it, is absolutely idiotic and won't make everything safer, but rather cause the exact opposite.

For publicly available services using [https://letsencrypt.org/ Let's Encrypt] (or other automated TLS certificate systems) makes sense. In many private home LANs (or even corporate networks) not so much. I know, one could use [https://github.com/joohoi/acme-dns acme-dns] to get proper certs, but in my case not all of my systems provide an interface (I'm not talking about a UI), which means I'd have to update them manually every time a new cert is issued. Which is every 2.5 months with Let's Encrypt.

NO. '''A big fucking NO'''. I will not manually update 50+ certs (VMs, containers, services) every 2.5 months. Even a 1 year rotation schedule is not feasible.

Why do I have so many certificates? I virtualize with Proxmox and also use Docker. If you use Vault, Saltstack, Ansible, or other tools, you will need certs for those too. And don't forget your router and switches. So first you need valid certs for the infrastructure. After that you need certificates for services (web servers, web applications, Kafka, LDAP, ...).

Using my own root CA is not unsafe at all. On the contrary. I can even create certs with a longer key length than cert providers, unless Let's Encrypt started to allow 8k keys. But let's not dwell on that, because a 4k key length is usually more than enough.

However, '''telling me that using my own root CA and certs which are longer valid than 1 year are unsafe is a lie'''. It is as simple as that.

Even after adding my root CA to the trust stores of the OS and/or the browser config and making sure that the chains are valid, browsers indicate that my properly configured TLS is not safe.
It does not end here. Maybe in the future command line tools like curl or reqest libraries will throw the same idiotic errors.

So what do you think will happen, thanks to this BS? People will add ''allow_insecure_certs'' flaqs or stop using TLS altogether. Both of which are not a solution, but will make the environments less safe. Well done.

Australia's social media ban - an excuse

Tessus: Created page with "As the deadline looms for the social media ban for teenagers in Australia to take effect on December 10th, more and more articles pop up.

As the deadline looms for the social media ban for teenagers in Australia to take effect on December 10th, more and more articles pop up. To top it all up, 2 weeks before this deadline, a constitutional challenge has been filed in the nation’s highest court.

While I admire the plaintiffs' motives, there is something they do not understand and I am truly sorry to break it to them:
'''This law was not created to protect children and teenagers.''' Which is unfortunately the reason why this challenge is futile. Whatever the lawmakers told them was a lie and just an excuse to begin with. As they have already figured out (the lawmakers as well as the teenagers), it's rather easy to circumvent this ban with VPNs and fake accounts.

Wait... here it comes:

'''This law was created to monitor everybody else.'''

Luckily I don't care for social media, but if I were, I'd have to verify my age using an official government issued ID. This means that every account I'd use would be inextricably linked to me.
In many cases this might not be so problematic, but what about people who are persecuted or afraid of retaliation?
Don't forget, these days you can't say anything without offending at least one person. If it is the wrong person (even if that person just misunderstood you), it will lead to your job termination or getting blacklisted.

Freedom of speech. Voicing your opinion. These are concepts that do not exist anymore in today's society.

This is why this law is so dangerous. Yet, they push forward, very well knowing that this law won't protect children and teenagers at all.
But at least they can quench any form of opinion they deem equivalent to dissent. And now they know who you are.

Security guarantees for Ukraine - A big fat lie - Again

2025-08-18T23:31:13Z

Tessus:

People, especially politicians, seem to have forgotten that Ukraine already received security guarantees in 1994. The Budapest Memorandum basically states that Ukraine will get security assurances in return for giving up their nuclear arsenal. Ukraine gave up their nuclear arsenal. That's it. But when it came to the security assurances, nothing happened. The memorandum was already violated in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea. Nothing happened.
The second violation was the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Nothing happened - again.

Now the US once again talks about security guarantees. Seriously? The US could bomb the shit out of Iran, because Iran had nothing to defend themselves with, but the US will do nothing against Russia. Not even with their so-called security guarantees. Otherwise the US would have already carpet-bombed the Russian occupied parts of Ukraine (which would have been perfectly legit according to the Budapest Memorandum). But guess what, nothing happened.
The US is great with blackmail (trade deals), bullying (bombing a more-or-less defenseless country), ignoring the truth (Israel's concentration camp called Gaza and the daily slaughtering of innocent civilians), but actually standing up against oppression and defending a country they gave security assurances to is apparently not on their agenda.

Yet again, the US wants to pressure Ukraine to give up territory (to appease Putin) in return for another worthless security guarantee. Does anybody see the irony?

Europe is not much better. Politicians are great when it comes to talking, but not so much when it comes to actually doing something. In the end, nothing will happen.

Russia will take parts of Ukraine. Israel will annex Gaza and the West Bank. Europe will do nothing - maybe talk a bit and express their useless and inconsequential opinions.

What is the problem with Garmin devices?

2025-06-14T00:36:56Z

Tessus: Created page with "I am someone who likes to use a GPS device in my car. An external device like Garmin or TomTom.

I am someone who likes to use a GPS device in my car. An external device like Garmin or TomTom.

Many, many, many years ago my dad got me a Garmin device and it worked great. I updated the maps and the SW for years. But at one point the device didn't start anymore, even though all the updates were installed successfully (as could be seen in Garmin Express). I contacted Garmin support and they told me that the device is no longer supported and they couldn't help me.
I asked them whether they brick devices on purpose so that people buy news ones. I never got a reply to that question. Go figure.

Let's recap: I updated my device successfully and then it stopped working. The device was kind of old, but did its job very well. Until the successfully completed update bricked it.

Support was utterly unhelpful and I really liked the device, so I bought a newer model. I had been using it for many years and today another successful update bricked this one as well. It is stuck at bootup and only the Garmin logo can be seen.

I am completely puzzled by this. What is the problem with Garmin devices? Why are they bricked after installing an update that actually finished successfully? I am really starting to wonder, if Garmin is doing this on purpose. What's even more annoying is that support is utterly useless and not willing to help, even though I've been a loyal customer for over 15 years.

If updates brick a device, don't let people install the update. I could have used the device with an older map. Now I can't even use it at all.

Either way, it was the last Garmin device I ever bought.

Reverse Proxy setup for Cockpit with Apache (in a sub directory)

2024-06-28T19:55:57Z

Tessus: use upgrade=websocket instead of rewrite

== Introduction ==

The task: run Cockpit in a sub directory e.g. <code><nowiki>https://example.com/cp/</nowiki></code>

It should have been simple enough, but once again the Internet has failed me. All articles that I had found only explained how to setup a reverse proxy in a separate virtual host in the document root of the server. This was not what I wanted. None of the articles had all the moving parts that would have allowed me to extrapolate a config that worked.

== Cockpit ==

[https://cockpit-project.org Cockpit] is a web-based graphical interface for servers. While I usually work on the command line, there are a few situations in which my much preferred ssh session won't do. (e.g. sitting in front of a locked down client system with no access to the command line.)

I just wanted to have it available for emergencies if all else fails, but I didn't want to set it up in a separate virtual host and neither in the document root of said virtual host.

The documentation of the web service specifically mentions that one can't use <code>/cockpit/</code> or <code>/cockpit+</code> as a sub directory, because they are reserved. I still think it is possible, but I just chose another sub directory: <code>/cp/</code>

=== <code>/etc/cockpit/cockpit.conf</code> ===

<pre>
[WebService]
Origins = https://example.com http://127.0.0.1:9090
ProtocolHeader = X-Forwarded-Proto
AllowUnencrypted = true
UrlRoot = /cp/
</pre>

Don't forget to restart the service.

== Reverse Proxy setup ==

The following Apache directives will configure the reverse proxy.

<syntaxhighlight lang="apache">
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests Off

SSLProxyVerify None
SSLProxyCheckPeerCN Off
SSLProxyCheckPeerName Off
SSLProxyCheckPeerExpire Off

# No longer needed with Apache HTTP Server >= 2.4.47. Use upgrade=websocket in ProxyPass
# allow for upgrading to websockets
#RewriteEngine On
#RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} =websocket [NC]
#RewriteRule /cp/(.*) ws://127.0.0.1:9090/cp/$1 [P,L]
#RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} !=websocket [NC]
#RewriteRule /cp/(.*) http://127.0.0.1:9090/cp/$1 [P,L]

# Proxy to your local cockpit instance
ProxyPass /cp/ http://127.0.0.1:9090/cp/ upgrade=websocket
ProxyPassReverse /cp/ http://127.0.0.1:9090/cp/
</syntaxhighlight>

If you want to use TLS behind the reverse proxy, you will have to replace <code>http</code> with <code>https</code>, and <code>ws</code> with <code>wss</code>.
Furthermore the <code>SSLProxy</code> directives must be removed.

In the Cockpit configuration, you will also have to concatenate the full chain and the key, and put the resulting file in the <code>/etc/cockpit/ws-certs.d</code> directory.

Bill C-21

2023-11-01T16:21:57Z

Tessus: stupid typo

I wasn't sure, whether I should post my opinion in fear of being pegged as a gun fanatic. Just to be clear: I am not.

However, the crux of the matter is that this bill and soon-to-be-law is not going to help with what they are selling it for. '''It will not reduce the amount of murders committed with guns.'''

All statistics they provided as the reason for putting this bill in place did not mention the most important thing: '''How many people were murdered with legally acquired handguns by the owners of these handguns?''' Utter silence.

If you can believe the media and the police reports over the past few years, there was not even one such murder in Toronto.
The only murder where a legal firearm was used was committed by a police officer who literally executed someone, who was lying on the ground, with multiple gunshots. And these are the people who are permitted to carry a concealed firearm when they are off duty.

Furthermore, '''the argument of preventing crimes due to panic reactions and in the heat of the moment situations is not valid either'''. Someone who owns a handgun legally cannot leave it fully loaded on their nightstand.

The gun has to be locked away in a safe with a trigger (or barrel) lock, separated from ammunition. One could not even use that gun in self defense during an armed robbery at home.

But removing that gun from the equation will make people safer? Before one can even assemble this locked away gun in the heat of the moment, one grabs a kitchen knife or the next heavy object instead.

Seriously, do the people who've come up with this bill have any common sense? If not, they should be at least be able to read the statistics. If yes, how is this bill going to help?

'''This proposed law is only targeting law abiding citizens''' who are legally owning a handgun for going to the shooting range. One must be the dumbest perpetrator to commit a crime with one's own handgun.

This bill is utterly useless. It was created to appease the public. Our politicians sell this bill as the solution to gun violance, while in reality criminals don't use legally acquired handguns in the first place. Criminals couldn't care less about the fact that one can't buy a handgun anymore.

'''If they really wanted to reduce the number of murders with handguns, they'd crack down on ILLEGALLY ACQUIRED handguns.'''

They could also require ballistic fingerprinting for every legally acquired handgun. Yet again, the fingerprinting only helps if people are dumb enough to use their own handguns to commit a crime.

ASUS router DNS check fix

== Introduction ==

After updating the firmware of my Asus RT-AX92U to version <code>3.0.0.4.388_22525-gd35b8fe</code>, I've noticed two DNS requests to <code>dns.msftncsi.com</code> every minute. My RT-AX92U is used as an access point, so there is '''zero''' reason to check for WAN availability. Additionally <code>DNS</code> is unchecked in <code>Administration > System > Network Monitoring</code>.

Ok, let's verify the settings in nvram:

<pre>
dns_probe=0
dns_probe_content=*
dns_probe_host=
</pre>

Yep, it's not active and there is no host set either. So why is it doing a DNS check? Apparently <code>dns.msftncsi.com</code> was hard-coded as default and the <code>dns_probe</code> setting is ignored.

== Solution ==

ssh into the RT-AX92U and run the following commands:

<pre>
nvram set dns_probe_host=127.0.0.1
nvram commit
</pre>

Done.

P.S.: It might also be possible to do this via the UI, but I haven't tried that. Check <code>DNS</code> in <code>Administration > System > Network Monitoring</code>, enter <code>127.0.0.1</code> in the field <code>Resolve Hostname</code>, and click <code>Apply</code>. After that one can uncheck <code>DNS</code> and click <code>Apply</code> again, although the disabled state is ignored anyway.

Violence in Toronto has been all over the news lately.

There was a reporter asking how people are protecting themselves on the subway and asked whether people are carrying pepper spray.

Not only was this bad journalism due to lack of research, but more importantly a gross mockery.

In Canada anything that can be used for self-defense is considered a weapon and thus illegal. Pepper spray, knives, expandable batons, non lethal deterrents like tasers are all illegal.
In 4 provinces it is even illegal to wear a bulletproof vest or cut/stab resistant gear.

Should you carry anything for self-defense you will be charged with:
* carrying a concealed weapon
* possessing a weapon dangerous to public peace
* possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon knowing its possession is unauthorized

'''So the sad truth is that you cannot do anything in Canada to protect yourself''', unless you are a politician who has bodyguards (paid with our taxes).

Oh yeah. One can stay at home.

Angry Envelope (optimized)

Why I will never buy QNAP again

2022-07-12T04:25:50Z

Tessus:

My hate for QNAP just tripled.

But let's start from the beginning. I was always lucky to get QNAP devices in a sale. But after many years of using QNAP, I wish I had never bought QNAP in the first place. I made a similar mistake once by buying a hardware VPN firewall router. Even though it was supposed to be for the SMB market, it was utterly useless even for my home network. I was better off building my own.

Back to QNAP. The first device (4-bay) had an arbitrary restriction and did not allow to use encryption when it was clearly possible to use cryptsetup manually. Besides the fact that all QNAP models for the home and SMB market have abysmal HW specs. The second device (6-bay) was a bit better, but still really bad HW, but I upgraded the memory myself. Nothing I could do about the shitty CPU though.
My phone has a faster CPU and more memory.
QNAP then started to install a bunch of crap onto the base system by default and it was often not possible to get rid of it. Thus I had to deal with useless crap on an already CPU and memory bound system.

I always asked myself why I would need all this uselses crap, when I only wanted to have basic NAS functionality: remote shares and a printer server. Nothing more.
I had no use for transcoding, photo/video stations, surveillance, virtualization (haha - why bother on this shitty piece of HW when the base system already can't handle any type of load). The problem with this is that such solutions try to be an onestop shop. Unfortunately none of these features work that great and the biggest problem is that even the basic, most fundamental reason for having a NAS in the first place, is not working that great either. I have a 1 Gbit network and the hard disks I use are certainly not the bottleneck. They all have a higher speed than the theoretical max of a 1 GBit network. Yet, I can only transfer files with about 30 MB/s to and from my QNAP NAS. What a joke. The worst performance ever.

Then I found out - only by chance - that the new QOS 5 release removes the printer server functionality. Luckily I don't do automatic upgrades (because I have a brain), so I was safe. Or so I thought.

Yesterday I installed 4.5.4, the latest version of the QOS 4 series. All went well. This morning I woke up to an automatically upgraded QOS 5. What the actual fuck?

So the upgrade to 4.5.4 changed my settings without my permission and upgraded a system with crucial functionality to a system without that functionality (remember, I only had 2 requirements for a NAS).

I am done with QNAP, their abysmal HW, their shitty performance, and their impertinence of changing my settings without my permission. I am looking forward to building my own NAS - a system I can trust and that outperforms any QNAP system available. Fuck QNAP.

Bill C-21

2022-06-04T21:21:54Z

Tessus:

I wasn't sure, whether I should post my opinion in fear of being pegged as a gun fanatic. Just to be clear: I am not.

However, the crux of the matter is that this bill and soon-to-be-law is not going to help with what they are selling it for. '''It will not reduce the amount of murders committed with guns.'''

All statistics they provided as the reason for putting this bill in place did not mention the most important thing: '''How many people were murdered with legally acquired handguns by the owners of these handguns?''' Utter silence.

If you can believe the media and the police reports over the past few years, there was not even one such murder in Toronto.
The only murder where a legal firearm was used was committed by a police officer who literally executed someone, who was laying on the ground, with multiple gunshots. And these are the people who are permitted to carry a concealed firearm when they are off duty.

Furthermore, '''the argument of preventing crimes due to panic reactions and in the heat of the moment situations is not valid either'''. Someone who owns a handgun legally cannot leave it fully loaded on their nightstand.

The gun has to be locked away in a safe with a trigger (or barrel) lock, separated from ammunition. One could not even use that gun in self defense during an armed robbery at home.

But removing that gun from the equation will make people safer? Before one can even assemble this locked away gun in the heat of the moment, one grabs a kitchen knife or the next heavy object instead.

Seriously, do the people who've come up with this bill have any common sense? If not, they should be at least be able to read the statistics. If yes, how is this bill going to help?

'''This proposed law is only targeting law abiding citizens''' who are legally owning a handgun for going to the shooting range. One must be the dumbest perpetrator to commit a crime with one's own handgun.

This bill is utterly useless. It was created to appease the public. Our politicians sell this bill as the solution to gun violance, while in reality criminals don't use legally acquired handguns in the first place. Criminals couldn't care less about the fact that one can't buy a handgun anymore.

'''If they really wanted to reduce the number of murders with handguns, they'd crack down on ILLEGALLY ACQUIRED handguns.'''

They could also require ballistic fingerprinting for every legally acquired handgun. Yet again, the fingerprinting only helps if people are dumb enough to use their own handguns to commit a crime.
