One problem with backups is that you don’t want them to be always online (store them offline and off site for disaster recovery). Backups can also be helpful in case of bugs that delete your whole database so that you can recover the data a

What would be the purpose of such a "bad" encryption? Apple must have known that it is not difficult to decrypt the protected binaries, so what is the point? To deter people who are not determined enough to learn about the code? T

I would actually really appreciate a bot that does that. There are so many bandges which are broken which is just annoying and many maintainers do not care about the readme once they have written it. They do accept pull requests but don’t u

It should be added, and this is important, this sentence is not punished equally because of the country‘s laws, it is because of an international trade agreement which both Europe and America have agreed to. Specifically Article 11 of the W

Can you point me to good resources to learn more about Unicode normalization especially for passwords? What are the gotchas? One the one hand, when users are allowed to enter any character, they often have difficulties to log in when they a

Does anyone how good Scaleway actually is? Vultr seems pretty good for a 2.50€ instance which is often good for small things. 3€ also seems reasonable to me but cloud computing has thought me that price means nothing. Sometimes you get dece

There is hardly just one person responsible for doing this. There was at least one developer who implemented this solution, at least “designer” that can up with a solution for the initial problem, a dozen managers who oversaw that whole pro

Well we can’t really know if those have not leaked before. I imagine that this vulnerability was worth a lot of money, even if is was clear that it would be fixed one or two months later. There were too many people involved to think that no

I like it and use it all the time and many people I know also use it a lot. It is not as good for text that is most relevant on the bottom (e.g. text messages) but really useful for webpages, etc.. Some apps implement some logic to scroll b

I get that (and that’s why I use it too) but you made it sound like Adblock is blocking malicious code and thus you do not need to worry about Spectre and meltdown, which is defentily not true (though it does prevent some malicious code).

I know this is sarcastic but the answer is that this system is complete broken and should be replaced by something that is made for authentication. Maybe something that is somewhat secure and allows you to change your “secret number” ones i

Be aware that Adblock doesn’t block all JavaScript code. It blocks code after people have identified that code X run on website Y does something bad (tracking, ads, etc) and they decided to block it. This works well for visible ads because

Well, that is more like a German thing then a Apple Pay/Google Pay thing. Credit cards are frowned upon in Germany, so the acceptance is pretty low compared to other places in the world. Most chains nowadays support card payments but i

Yes you can? If password login is enabled, you could wait until someone SSHs in and read their decrypted password. You could read all kinds of secrets which will be very useful for gaining privileged information. Sure you can’t just become

Yeah for $35k before any options. They currently only sell it with the premium package and only the range version. The premium package has improved audio (premium audio), USB ports for each passanger, powered seats and steering wheel, a gla

This might be a bit off topic but I wonder why the vulnerability has been patched this way: if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, infop, sizeof(*infop))) goto Efault; Why doesn’t the if use curly brackets? I thought it has been esta

I‘m not sure what’s bad about executing arbitrary groovy scripts because you are running arbitrary code anyways (unless Jenkins is not running any code at all – e.g. compile static assets, do something else). If some developer wanted access

I was referring to that (my old serial number did show up as eligible but I had it replaced before that). Apparently all phones suffer from that problem but the batch we referred to seem to be especially bad. The software update just seems

One of the reasons is that it slows down is because the battery is actually not able to deliver enough power to run at full speed. My iPhone 6S would randomly shut down when I was using significant power (I.e a CPU hungry app) even at 70+%.
