Well, ProtonMail isn't end-to-end encrypted anyway, even with Bridge. Unless you use PGP encryption. Emails are encrypted in-flight with TLS, but ProtonMail terminate that TLS connection.

To clarify, yes I believe they dug trenches (there's pictures), no I do not believe they suffered from acute radiation syndrome.

Not really, the average user doesn't give a shit about backwards compatibility, they care about being able to create slideshows and send emails. Windows will dominate for the foreseeable future because of deals with manufacturers.

It looks cool, but I would be hesitant to leave IaC behind. DevOps/sysadmin kind of people are infamous for (generally) not liking GUIs for a reason. We like being able to grep through a repo, revert to older versions of the code, and

I was wondering today if I should split my blog into two halves and keep my technical writings separate from my personal musings which are often ranty and miserable. I have a number of subscribers that probably care about the former and not

Nice username. Maybe someone else can chime in because I wasn't aware that ordinary satellites required radiation hardened hardware. At most I thought they'd just put it all into a metal box.

What does that mean in reality? Pretty sure Chrome Web Store extensions are reviewed, but since they're all minified and obfuscated garbage, I wonder how easily malicious code could slip through. I'm surprised there hasn't be

Woah, did not know that. Definitely wouldn't want to set it as an upstream DNS server on an office router then.

There's no way it will happen, the damage has been done and besides, the politicians don't want it. The referendum should've been nullified when the scale of political interference via social media in 2016 came to light. Also

We demanded more performance and we got what we demanded. I doubt manufacturers are going to walk back on branch prediction no matter how flawed it is. They'll add some more mitigations and features which will be broken-on-arrival.

Running untrusted code whether in a sandbox, container, or VM, has not been safe since at least Rowhammer, maybe before. I believe a lot of these exploits are down to software and hardware people not talking. Software people make assumption

Glad to see Reddit following in Twitter's footsteps. Hopefully Instagram will be next. When social media's dead, the world will be a better place.
