That would false positive me. I have used double dashes to delimit quote attribution for decades. Like this: "You can't believe everything you read on the internet." -- Abraham Lincoln, personal correspondence, 1863

Phish resistant MFA is worth mentioning. You and all your staff with access to critical credentials should have something like YubiKeys, so you can't (as easily) get tricked into entering some TOTP (or email/sms) code into a fraud

Yeah - but where does the code doing the encryption/decryption come from? 1Password serves me the Javascript that encrypts/decrypts my vault every time I open my work 1PW webapp. It's not reasonable to assume their server is

We use 1Passwodr at work, at my suggestion from 10-12 years ago where it was an app on your device with an encrypted on device file you could chose to store on iCloud/Dropbox/GoogleDrive/wherever. Then they changed to the web

Do you have any good references/example/docs/keywords about the difference between setting up and running "a fully pull-based Ansible system" compared to "centrally-controlled push-based systems"? I'm

I'm not sure that's necessarily "opposite"? I feel much the same as the article author in that "this place is for doing this thing, now you do it too" Is somehow powerfully motivating. But at least for me it&#x

Oh man, I miss my dad's collection of a decade or two's worth of Scientific American magazines. When I was a kid in the 70s/80s, they were pure intellectual magic to me.

There are a lot of lists around for known VPN endpoints and datacenter IP address ranges, that people use to reduce error rates in ip address to location lookups. That cannot possibly itself be 100% effective, but it can probably drop the e

It is definitely "literally impossible" if your acceptable false positive and false negative rates are zero. Having said that, vanishingly few companies/projects require that. For probably 99+% of websites, just using publicl

Thank you. I did not know that. I shall strive to update my use of wording there.

I'm less sure and perhaps more optimistic. Spottily has clearly identified a paying market for "incidental" music, something that people will play just to fill in as background noise while not caring about it. But it relies o

You know how it's said that eskimos have 50 words for "snow"? Aussies have 50 meanings for the word "cunt". It can simultaneously be both the worst and the best thing you can call someone. And aussies know exactly w

It's fascinating to me that her new album's name is "Wuthering Heights", the name of Kate Bush's debut and number 1 single from 1978. Kate Bush is well known (in the circles of people who know about this sort of thi

I was aware of her name, and roughly her genre, but couldn't have named or even recognised a single track of hers. I looked her up and started listening as I read the article, and the while listening to the two track released so far fr

You're right, of course. But often there are obvious and "easy" answers that are anything but easy for the person who needs those answers. "Just cheer up, depressed person!" "Just eat less and exercise more, fa

I do. Mostly because I literally have dozens of them lying around ready to be reused for whatever my latest idea is. Admittedly the bulk of those are clones, not "official" Arduino products. Other reasons I'll reach for an Ar

If all you need is the Wiring-based ide, you can just fork the GPL version. It's lot more then "just the ide" that has made Arduino so successful and accessible though.

I'm now realising I do not really know where the Arduino IDE gets all the libraries and board definitions from. I assume that's now Qualcomm owned web services with Qualcomm defined TOS? I also wonder if anyone's backed/

Nothing "real", just a knee-jerk reaction to him being a Twitter cofounder (and patent holder).
