Probably because suing X for not allowing a company to advertise on their platform would be fully meritless and have no basis in the law.

There are plenty of true things that are not relevant or productive topics here.

I flagged this because watching rich tech bros slap each other around is not something I consider to be a thought provoking topic for discussion.

The average distro package maintainer is not reviewing the underlying code changes in packages to determine if they are malicious, nor is the average disto package maintainer qualified to spot intentionally obfuscated malicious code. The th

The vetting process for open source maintainers has very little overlap with the vetting process for “is this person trustworthy”. This is true for individual libraries and also for Linux distros.

For what it's worth, I've had quite a bit of success using ACME for devices that don't natively support it by using a sidecar service. Basically, running the ACME flow on a Linux system and then having it programmatically upd

There are lots of things that China does that would be controversial in other countries. Why is it totally insane?

Nobody is disputing that it is possible to set up a secure container network. But this post is about the fact that the default docker behavior is an insecure footgun for users who don’t realize what it’s doing.

It just seems totally unrelated to this post.

Docker by default modifies iptables rules to allow traffic when you use the options to launch a container with port options. If you have your own firewall rules, docker just writes its own around them.

I've been using iTerm daily for something like a decade at this point and I'm struggling to think of any examples of this string of extremely bad vulns. There's this one, which is specific to SSH integration. There was CVE-20

I'm not trying to knock either Ghostty in particular or new software in general. But the kind of "open season" phase you're referring to is basically the same point I'm making: new software still has to go through t

Probably worth noting that Ghostty was very recently vulnerable to an old/familiar class of terminal vuln that bit a bunch of older terminal applications a while back: https://dgl.cx/2024/12/ghostty-terminal-t

This is an aside, but I've been listening to https://www.riskyornot.co/ and it's been a massive boon to my understanding of what factors go into whether food is safe to consume.

I do 100% of my software development in vim. I have syntax highlighting and some auto indentation but otherwise no autocomplete, no LLMs, no vim plugins for hopping between files. I just… write code? If I need to remember what’s in another

I remember the chair mount being a post on the keyboard.io community forum. Somebody built that setup with the Model 01. Looked amazing; IIRC the tricky part was how to wire it back to the computer when the chair was on wheels.

It feels like you’re referring to the “ship of Theseus” as an argument that the identity does not persist… It’s not. It’s a hypothetical designed to call attention to the exact thing you’re saying: that potentially identity is more than the

> The entire thing can be rebuilt and it will still be the real Notre Dame de Paris This statement is kindof the whole point of the "ship of Theseus" thought experiment.

The ship of Theseus was never really destroyed either. It was a functional ship with services.

In the "Blame" view on Github, you can click the little stacked-rectangles next to a line and it will take you directly to the blame of the commit before that change occurred.

Paying up front doesn't really mean much, because if the credit card info is stolen, the actual owner will report the transaction and it will be reversed.

You didn’t present a consumer perspective, you offered your hot take on why the company has set up the site in the way they did.

I don't understand. Having a specific list of IPs they want to route over Wireguard is the one that is easy today. It's the inverse (everything except these IPs) that's hard.

by akerl_ 2y ago
The reason that peer-to-peer tools tend not to work well behind NAT is because peers can't initiate inbound connections to you. So your router gets 1.2.3.4 as an external IP. And it assigns you 192.168.1.10 as an internal IP, and handl

That’s a really weird way to view code review. Everywhere I’ve been part of development, code review is part of ensuring code quality, catching bugs, and avoiding silos.

They’re saying that if a username is 50 characters, only 2 characters of the password are used to in the cache key. And a 2 character password is very bruteforceable.
