So, the Nothing 3a, AKA The Something.

My first method eliminates waiting to see if your students code runs fast enough. Unless complexity is part of the assignment, I’d still say go for the hash.

It’s also less work for the professor/grader.

I mean just for the love of God don’t spin up something on your company’s infrastructure that accepts file uploads.

Just don’t.

If you’re reading this and going “well, it’s just internal,” or “well, it doesn’t do much it just accepts this exact file type.” My god. Ask your CISA. And if they’re okay with it, cool. That’s on them.

Unless your whole business is transferring files, don’t. And even then… Don’t.

And if you’re still confused, the answer is to use another company’s infrastructure for this. Use Azure. Use AWS. Use Google cloud or even g suites. Don’t accept that liability. Let the trillionaires do it.

Why give your students a way to get RCE on your institutions servers through anything less than perfect file upload implementation.

For a .tar? I wish you the best…

Instead of that, simplify.

Use unique salts for each assignment per student.

Align hashes with those salts to check the outcome for each students assignment.

Literally have them send you a CTF style sha256 string.

Do it step by step where each step doesn’t depend on the next, grade as a percentage of flags accurately procured.

When I was 23, Obamacare had recently passed and it allowed me to remain on my father’s insurance as a recent college grad.

I broke my talus (ankle sit-bone) into 3 pieces. Xray showed nothing. Cat scan showed nothing.

Dads insurance covered the MRI. Broke in 3 pieces. I otherwise would’ve been told it was a sprain. I’d have suffered life long consequences (worse than what I’ve got).

It didn’t cost me a dime. It cost my dad like $300. It would have literally cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars without Obamacare.

EDIT: @Shalafi or whoever tf, I have blocked you ages ago and you’re tagged “needlessly argumentative over everything”

I’m not going to unblock you to read what I already know is you being needlessly argumentative over everything.

Also if I’m correct, do yourself a favor and maybe block them as well.

For getting your stuff available over the internet, y I recommend a secure tunnel with wire guard between your vps and servers running the services.

Make your vps an authentication portal using stuff like Authelia and Fail2ban.

If you’re really needing out, get ELK stood up for free and get agents on your containers/services to keep visibility into any potential… Anything

I finally got my home services covered with my website’s wildcard ssl. Which is great, because now I can setup ELK Stack and setup an auth portal on my vps, and get Plex and gitlab out of the house securely.

Check to see how it’s handling that 2 weeks maybe you can change it to 2000000 weeks

It’s probably more than that daily.

Hey sorry everyone’s being a twat. There’s nothing wrong with using the available tools at your disposal to try to learn about things that interest you. Just make sure it’s still a learning process and not a hand holding process. Leverage AI, don’t make it support your full weight.

I can tell you this problem is out of your hands. The web app you’re using is causing it’s own error here.

Dont just spend more money on it

Take the purchase more seriously.

Dont just spend more and expect better results.

All I can say is my feed has been shit since it happened.

And we all think you’re a piece of shit for not being glad he’s gone.

Which of his views were near and dear to you, comrade?

Get your blackpilled ass outta here.

Go be depressed somewhere else.

Lol they already know, man. They’re just asking to make it feel like consent.

This guy banks.

He barely has to wipe.

If you don’t have a specific goal, here are some ideas.

Build a NAS.

Use a bunch of small PCs or pis, build a CA, a DNS server. Make an db server and an app server.

Get shit running on your network.

Suit them all up with ELK stack.

Misbehave on your own network. Go find evidence for your misbehaving.

DoS yourself.

Without goals it’s tough to give ideas beyond general like this.

This, while funny, sounds like this person made Fork of a project instead of… Going through the configs.

Maybe instead of complaining, provide the summary yourself? Be the change you want to see in the world!

I am happy to watch the video and see no issues with people using Lemmy for its intended purposes.
