That won't really work for the scenario they try to "protect" against. When you copy some js files that include their license checking code to your server and them serve it to your clients, your clients need to block qeys.io,

If you've seen Windows 10 (ads and telemetry) it's probably only fair to say that MS is also highly interested in end-user data and ads, just like Google.

Good catch. Seems like the docs warn too much on this then, but good to see that it's not a problem in Python.

It does. However, in your linked document just below the `extract` function there is `extractall` that actually has a warning that it does /not/ mitigate directory traversal. While by itself this might be a deliberate design choic

I even believe Git has the open source high ground since it’s released under the GPL-2 license, providing freedom. Whereas Fossil uses BSD-2, which does not bring the same freedom.

Indeed. Since their product is "Private Gitlab Hosting", they only seem to provide the hosting. This is not inherently bad, but they make it look like they are much better than Gitlab. Personally I'd rather give my money to G

Yes some of that work also improves Git on other systems. All of those patches however were a pure necessity for them to implement GVfs.

That's why there is the HSTS preload list [0], so that browsers can know this before making the HTTP request. If you don't want to add your domain to the preload list, you will have to (automatically) redirect/upgrade users t

by bjpbakker 8y ago
Also, it has to be technically feasible to remove the user data. So I don't think data stored on the client's own device is data that you necessarily should remove (though IANAL).

Redirecting HTTP requests to HTTPS should not be the default thing to do. It introduces vulnerabilities (such as MITM attacks) that are hardly considered in most configurations (from what I've seen around). The default connection to yo

I am not quite sure but I do believe Purism actually designs their own hardware. They are pretty open about hardware selection, which would be weird if they only sold branded Clevo. Maybe your confusing them with systems76?

by bjpbakker 8y ago
They are pretty rare. Been looking for one myself for a while now. There are others, inclusing Lenovo and Systems76. They’re all top of the line though, same price levels as the Dell you mention. And I personally won’t buy Lenovo.
