Dunno if this violates rule 3 but here I go: I am a 21 year old male currently living with a family member, I only have a DL and a High School Diploma and nothing else. I'm in the deep south so trade unions are hard to get into. I have a disqualifying condition so I can't join the military. Getting a job is difficult because they never respond. Question in title.

No impact to user-facing services, yet.

With version 142, Google Chrome just rolled out a new permission prompt for Local Network Access.

While technically a good feature, this caused me the better half of the day hunting a production bug in our SaaS product, which after all did not exist.

Turns out that Chrome will display the permission dialog also for requests which your company's IT-mandated Endpoint Protection solution is grabbing for inspection. In our case, it was Zscaler causing issues.

If you deny the request (which from an end user perspective is the only reasonable choice), your web application will act weird.

Lucky me, our devices had just upgraded to Chrome 142 at the very same day we rolled out a production release. That's how all hell broke loose.

Is it an affectation that they're trained to deploy? (If so, why?) Or is it just a natural thing that happens in the very specific circumstance of being a politician on the campaign trail, and that's why no one else seems to do it?

I don't think I've seen it in any other context 🤔

Cheers!

Canada and its allies have blacklisted more than 400 unregistered ships – known as shadow vessels – in just six months.

The effort aims to starve Russia of funding for its war on Ukraine while preventing leaky ships from one day compromising Canada’s Arctic environment.

“The idea of illegal, substandard, uninsured vessels transiting through High North and Arctic waters was, is, and remains a terrifying prospect,” said David Angell, a foreign and defence policy adviser to Prime Minister Mark Carney, during a panel hosted by the Polish Embassy in Ottawa on Oct. 10.

The issue is becoming more pertinent to Canada due to climate change in the Arctic, he said.

Russia has sought for years to evade sanctions western countries put in place after its initial 2014 invasion of Ukraine and its full-scale invasion in 2022.

...

Earlier this month, a group called the Nordic-Baltic Eight met in Ottawa alongside most G7 members – except for the U.S.

In a joint statement, the group called out “the use of older, underinsured, and poorly maintained ships that routinely disable or manipulate their automatic identification systems, and the use of stateless or falsely flagged vessels.”

It has pledged to continue maritime surveillance and intelligence sharing to pursue sanctions evasion.

Finland’s Ambassador in Ottawa Hanna-Leena Korteniemi said Finns are “very grateful” to Canada for pushing forward the issue at the G7 because Russian tankers can contaminate European ecosystems and encourage Moscow to make war beyond Ukraine.

The shadow fleet’s use of GPS jamming is a particular concern for Finland, because tankers trying to evade detection can accidentally collide with passenger or commercial ships. Russian tankers leaving St. Petersburg can come close to Helsinki, Stockholm and Copenhagen.
