IMHO, LibreSSL was doomed to "fail" by the mere fact that it was not picked up by Linux distributions to replace OpenSSL, the same way that x.org had replaced XFree86. Linux's influence's simply too big. LibreSSL will su

Thank you. In the link in your reply to a sibling thread, you asked for donations, and I'm happy to oblige. I know you're based in France, but is there a U.S. non-profit entity I could donate to (e.g. SPI)? The reason being that $

Are there plans to sandbox / harden VLC against security vulnerabilities? While my jolly roger days are long gone, and virtually all media I play are from trusted sources, VLC probably ranks top 5 by attack surface among the software I

I'm a fan of OpenBSD's more conservative and structured approach to software development, but in this case I must beg to differ. In the linked CVE, OpenBSD was unaffected because "[it] didn't chase the fad of using every

Like it or not, Apple's often the benchmark the rest of the industry measure themselves against. So if / when Apple improves the MBP cam, the rest will follow. Until then, there's no point in cutting into the razor-thin margi

At this point my sentiments can be summed up thusly[0][1]. Although I'm the fortunate few who could work remotely -- and I've been doing so since the beginning of the year -- my job[2] still bounds me to CONUS. I'm beginning

FWIW, I've never had any nightmares where I dreamed I was back in secondary school. I've had many about undergrad and grad school, though. It's been more than a decade since I graduated from grad school. However, I've al

Ironic, I was offered almost $10k to relocate to the Bay Area a few years ago as part of my signing bonus. Having lived here for a few years, I'd love to be offered $20k to move away...

I do generally prefer Perl's q and qq, though Python's triple-quote and its raw form are often good enough. Python also inherited C's (mis-)feature of concatenating consecutive string literals automatically, which comes in ha

by RJIb8RBYxzAMX9u 6y ago
Yeah, my "solution" to that problem is to backup to a zfs NAS, and through shitty^Wclever scripting, create a snapshot after each successful backup. If TM backup fails for any reason, I roll back on the NAS end and start again.

by RJIb8RBYxzAMX9u 6y ago
By snapshot I mean filesystem snapshots as implemented by zfs and btrfs. So functionally they're snapshots, but space usage wise they're incremental backups.

by RJIb8RBYxzAMX9u 6y ago
If I read the article correctly, Time Machine's switching to something similar to overlay FS, but nested? I really hope they get it right: backup is where my tolerance for bugs is really low. APFS already supports volume snapshots but

That's not a problem. For example, you could run the Mozilla VPN on your router, and your work VPN on your laptop.

Here's a VPN idea for Mozilla: bundle your VPN with a PO box / mail forwarding service. Target it to all the FAANG developers who's trying to take advantage of the WFH situation by moving to a lower CoL area, but are hesitant

If Mozilla could stand alone and compete with the other big players, that'd be best. If they couldn't, then forming alliances with others, even former "enemies", would be 2nd best, and work towards independence. Even App

I know it's almost a meme at this point, but maybe Apple should buy Mozilla (or financially support them in some way)? The enemy of my enemy is my friend sort of way. Surely Apple don't want to cede more control over web standards
