Signal desktop is broken, since at least mid 2018. There is an open github issue, where the maintainers don't really respond: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/2634 They statically link

To be fair, that is nothing unique to N26. In fact in austria easybank is also a bank that afaik only exists "online" and easybank is much older than n26. Edit: Forgot something

I thought one of the big selling points for this was the ability to move the homedirectory from one device to another via usb or hdd? Then how will they verifiy the signature of the user json file? So I can't simply remount the user pr

You are not in the EU and therefore the GDPR does not apply to you.

Out of curiosity how do you verify these things?

Yes, because that regulation effort started ten years ago and led to less ewaste, something which we can all agree is good. Remember the time each new phone model had a new charger? And you had to replace the whole charger if the cable was

AFAIK that is the directive that that was already planned years ago. I remember many years ago there was a new charger for each version(!) of a phone, so the EU said either the companies choose a common port voluntary or they will regulate

Anecdote to that: I was involved in a project where we had to measure certain changes in the ground and the climate above. The station which measures how much the ground has moved broke. We didn't know what broke, so we called the comp

I meant your comment: >Let's be fair: you're going to be very limited in terms of the type of web site you can make with this approach compared with a PHP app via web server Which translates to me that you have the impression t

Or I just use node on the server side and write the server part also in js? This was not about building anything sensible, but just to counter the point that js allows you less than php. I think today the only big language with is a pain to

This was about your post saying you can't do anything with only JS and me disagreeing, not on how sensible language X or methode X is for anything. Nobody would write a php app without js today and you can use js server side with nodej

Ahh, yes that would be a problem. On the other hand, wouldn't a ddos be visible in the logs? Logs should be checked centrally anyway, so a 30 second flood of messages should be visible. But in the end, you are right that it will be har

Yeah, but couldn't you also simply disconnect the beacons with a wirecutter? I mean, every technical system can be shutdown and will shutdown sometimes, isn't that a inherent weakness of such a system? if that beacon does not resp

I would argue that signing beacon messages with a PKI infrastructure would migate that issue.

The article was not about that, this is not about vetting anything. The problem was that PRs which would have fixed security issues where not accpeted. Do I expected perfect code from maintainers or a answer the next day? No, never Do I thi

I never met a sysadmin that was anything like the bofh. Look, it is a funny story, nothing more. Just like there is dilbert and other stuff. Do I want to become a bofh? NO Do I like a complete Fantasy story in which a sysadmin runs amok? Ye

Thanks for the answer! So it basically registers itself as a keyboard? Even if the Windows PC is locked? How does it know which password to type? Unfortunately everything that is more complicated than "take that stick and stick it in t

Any chance that key can be used for windows login? I'm searching for a key that also works as a smartcard for winows on prem active directory authentication, as well as FIDO2 support. Or a key that has software which allows this. edit:

Not really. My idea binds them to certain terms e.g. they can only ban accounts if they don't follow guidelines,which means they have to give a reason which can be legally challenged. They can only change the guidelines after a warning

It would be alright for me if the terms of use where: If your content is against the law, or does not conform to the guidelines that where written in the terms of use, it will be removed. And for the guidelines: A Guideline change will be c

The terms of service are not that great, no step up from youtube. I can't understand why current businesses think it is right to simply allow themselfes to arbitarly raise fees and delete accounts and content without any warning.

I don't send random things, I either look up curl if I need to script something or I just use postman. EDIT: Depends, most of the time I use standard JSON Rest apis, there is not really that much to misassume I think.

I think that is exactly the point. The argument is that if a language is developed/mainly contributed by a single company there is an inherent risk of that language being suddenly discountinued or lacking features that are needed by ot

I don't think you can regulate opinions. But what you can do quite easily is to disallow statements that are factual wrong. That would solve at least a part of the problem. If I say things which where already proven wrong, then I can&#
