Yes. If it's opt-in, then I can certainly live with it and I understand why people might use it. I'm just pointing out that features like these, while well intentioned, still add bloat to the browser. Sometimes saying no to featur

If this is true, then I'm okay with the feature being available if it is opt-in. Although I generally think this is a concern better left outside of the particular browser I'm using. If I want to route DNS queries through a thir

According to the article this is enabled by default to use Cloudflare. Are you saying that is not the case?

how does citeseerx compare to arxiv? Are they just different networks (PSU/Cornell) that function independently or do they index the same content?

This is why I use an elliptical machine. (specifically the Octane Fitness Q47) Zero impact to joints. The Octane Fitness machines are great b/c they are very close to actual running. In fact from the looks of it the Zero Runner may

IMHO the interesting thing about the emails is it provides insight into his process of asking for it. He had done all of the other work ahead of time and even provided the draft protocol spec in his email. He also was willing to accept a

I second going with the T line and would go as far to say that the T480 has a very modern feel to it. It is only slightly thicker than my old MBP 2013 retina 15 inch. (the thickness of the screen) I was expecting it to be much thicker and

I just switched from an MBP 2013 to a ThinkPad T480 running Ubuntu 18.04. I'm loving it. Linux support has been really great and I didn't have to install a lot of special drivers. (e.g. trackpad support with multi-touch scrolli

Not sure what model ThinkPad you had, but I was on a MBP 2013 and just recently transitioned to a ThinkPad T480 running Ubuntu. The trackpad is actually really nice on the T480 and I didn't have to do any special driver install to get

I agree and I have the same issue as you. I'm on a ThinkPad T480 running Ubuntu and I only use the trackpad. Whenever I use trackpoint (the nipple/stick/whatever) I'm constantly overshooting, so it doesn't matter

How would someone new to a project who might benefit from looking at historical patches AND the commentary surrounding them be able to access that information in an email-driven workflow? In a pull request model on GitHub, you can go in an

Keybase may have started from the technical community b/c of its foundation with how it handles identity and encryption, but I definitely don't view it as an app targeted at a different audience. It is an app that can be used by

I was just going to say that. I'm guessing what was meant was maybe the redirection logic is all happening in the client, which is true. However, when you just read the title I assumed it meant everything, even the storage of the add

The difference between centralized trust and decentralized trust is you can actually audit and reason about the system. In centralized trust you are typically hoping that human actors obey rules both written and unwritten. In decentraliz

It still doesn't make sense in that use case. He could have cloned it to his local machine and still had access to the code. Had he done that he could have pushed it back to github as a completely new repository thereby creating a le

I wasn't aware of telepresence. Why have you opted to go this route over using docker compose and bind mounting host volumes? Does this work across all major platforms? (Windows/Mac/Linux)

That's an interesting idea. Kind of a simpler HashiCorp Vault service offered as a SaaS. I guess you would also be competing somewhat with any cloud provider that offers secrets management, but they are probably going to be more expe

Okay, thanks for the recommendation. It would certainly be simpler to maintain.

Yeah, I was just giving an example of passing it into a script. Similarly, if encpass.sh is included in whatever.sh script the password won't show up in ps.
501.
by ahnick 9y ago
Yes, that's true. It would show up in your command history though. Even though it's probably not readable by anyone else except root, it's still probably not a good idea to have it persisted to disk.

Is there a security benefit to using this?
503.
by ahnick 9y ago
I see, so basically if you invoke another process from within the script you are using the decrypted password AND you pass the decrypted password to that process, then it would be visible to ps. That makes sense as you are passing the decr

Can you provide an example of this? How would the password show up in ps output?

In response to myself, it looks like this is a gnome project and the source can be found here -> https://git.gnome.org/browse/libsecret/tree/tool . So I guess it can be used anywhere that gnome is supporte

Is secret-tool a linux only program? Where is the source for it maintained? (I was having trouble finding it) Do you use this as your main password manager too? Any thoughts on how this compares to pass?

by ahnick 9y ago
I think this is a good idea, b/c as long as the permissions are set on the generated private key to only be readable by the user, then the same level of security would be provided as accessing the user's private ssh key. It would

That's a cool idea. It would be neat to have some way of sending that to the githubber builtin to the tool. Maybe send an email to the githubber if they have an email published or maybe just post it to a gist that then you can send t

Since, by default ssh private and public keys get stored in the .ssh folder under the user's home folder, then it is convenient to leverage the already existing keys rather than having to generate new keys. (Of course you can also use
