Unless you are using tor or something similar you are still giving your IP address out.

I fear that if Ubuntu enabled firewall with default deny on incoming packages by default packages would start adding the allow rules in their install scripts..

> Fair enough. I'd love to learn. What threats does the firewall even defend against? Many Debian/Ubuntu packages have a dependency on postfix. Even some trivial ones. Installing these packages installs postfix (which at least

Actually OSX didn't enable it by default last time I checked. And the last windows machine I touched had about 300 exceptions to the default deny incoming rule -- that the user had not opened themselves. Ubuntu would need some kind of

How awesome would vim key bindings for Libreoffice be though?

by JupiterMoon 10y ago
I think a lot of people are using vim emulators that bring the modal concept and keybindings in other software. Maybe NeoVim will eventually change this once vim can be embedded in a decent GUI and have addons that don't slow the how t

At least now they have windows 10 they can mark the connection as metered.

They just flash a dialogue up with an opt out button. Closing the dialogue is consent to go ahead with the update. Most people close those kind of annoying pop ups without reading the message. So technically MS aren't push a mandatory

So if companies are well run and profitable in their current state owned but hands off form why not keep them that way?

Bear in mind that MP's correspondence with their constituents is being hoovered up as well. Yes @gov.uk to @gov.uk could be encrypted but constituent to MP email is in some ways more sensitive to GCHQ snooping. The solution remains pol

I thought that Wilson doctrine turned out to be nothing? GCHQ said they never respected it and always spied on MPs?

I've never deployed on a windows server I'm thinking of my dev box here. I just install what I think of as standard dev tools. I guess they are not standard on Windows. Hence my pain... I pretty much would have to install cygwin t

As a linux dev I find the opposite. Everything I use works out of the box on Linux and everything on Windows needs config and fiddling -- and that config seems to always end up involving a GUI that I can never remember my way around. I gues

We are pretty much past needing to remember them. Checkout password managers. There are lots of options in that space these days.

There is a public interest test that could be applied (and is, albeit imperfectly, with the "right to be forgotten"). If said nanny said something 20 years ago and has since changed her views completely it is not really relevant -

If they told you what they saw and you traded based upon this would this not constitute insider trading?
