Yeah I don't even know if that upper post was meant to be sarcastic. Telegram, despite the security theater, is amazing UX-wise. It's such a joy to use and I see myself more and more engaging with Telegram contacts just because it

Yeah, I almost never consider an Airbnb nowadays for these extra costs. Hotels do this too (with city tax for example), but that is just a few extra dollars a night, and not almost as high as the cost per night. I think the original spirit

GitHub does a pretty good job requiring oauth or ssh key authentication, and the new finely-grained personal access are awesome, I just switched all my apps to use more locked down PATs. The far you reach from GitHub's ecosystem, that&

SHA3 is relatively infrequent compared to sha1/2 and md5. SHA3 also has a few variants, and I don't know for sure if this vulnerability is present in all variants. The vulnerability is only present in the reference implementation.

I turned 30 last month, and I gotta say I can totally see how easy it is to fall into the state you mentioned. I can already see through getting wasted on weekends with friends, hikes, trips, etc that seem to "normalize" as I age.

Not a big city, but in Colombo, there is an ISP that exclusively provides Fibre lines to apartment buildings. It's a common interest for both building management and the ISP to provide service. If the building signs up with the ISP, an

If it's isolation you are really after, you can just use built-in Containers feature. It isolates session/cookie data, and there are extensions that you create temporary containers for highly configurable boundaries.

I don't know the technical details behind this, but Firefox always felt slower in file upload front. It was very late to the directory upload feature that Chrome had (in mostly non-standard ways I don't doubt). It doesn't bot

Most of the good and niche communities are unfortunately burried in Slack and Discord nowadays, and Discouse being an overengineered platform isn't helping either. Reddit is a mix of all of the ones you mentioned, but there are some am

This is commonly called Number Portability. I don't think it's mandated by the EU, but every EU country I looked up supported it. In the Netherlands, for example, you can obtain a new SIM card or port number to another NL carrier.

All my TOTP prompts (on websites I run) account for such delays and clock skews by checking against the previous and next TOTP. So even if the user is a little bit late to enter the OTP, I can still validate it and complete authentication.

If you intend the data to be recoverable, consider adding recovery options to it. Error Correcting Codes (ECC), (with Reed-Solomon probably being the most common), can help verify and even recover data; helpful against bit-rot. WinRar 5 can

The Iceland NIC does this ( https://www.isnic.is/en/site/login ). Customer support burden when the lose the 2FA key is solved by adding a hefty fee (around €100) to recover it. No webauthn support yet though.

I can only judge them based on CSS and PHP content because those are the things I can even properly compare. W3schools continue to be a very low quality resource, incomplete and incoherent on most aspects. There is a "try it yourself&q

Browsers behave differently based on the HTTP method, though. For example, POST requests are confirmed when trying to refresh, they are not cached, and a whole bunch of restrictions on XHR/fetch.
