I feel you, but for me it's not a list of deficiencies in OSX. I came from Linux then used OSX almost exclusively (because work) for about 4 years and I still hate it. I agree the list of things above are real problems, but you could s

My process is I have a list of things I hate, and if you fail to do any of them, then I love you. But yeah, my preferences are: -- * Don't make the keyboard key placement stupid. Make the arrow-keys and pgup / pgdn a six-key recta

That looks like a wonderful project! Unfortunately, in my situation, my family is so deeply steeped in Facebook that I have no choice. We already have group chats and the like, and some stuff gets posted there, especially if someone wants m

I quit facebook for a couple years, but recently reactivated because the truth of the matter was that my family uses it and I missed finding out about so many things, including some marriages and births. When I reactivated, I set out to d

Ironically, it's as though the experience was designed to be as video-like as possible.

I bought one the same day I heard about it via one of Andrew Gallant's Twitter threads [1]. With the exception of the screen (I promised myself my next laptop would be 15" instead of 13"), this is pretty much exactly what I&#

To your meta point, I actually like that layout quite a lot. If you're going to put it in a column, why put it in the middle?

I posted the story on a sibling comment. It's not as exciting as all that. Overall it was a net positive experience, really. It led me to perform a personal Disaster Recovery exercise where I modeled losing my Google account, which was

It's really not as exciting as all that. As a regular user, I suspect you're unlikely to have an experience like mine. As part of my job, I perform (authorized) phishing simulations for employees of my employer. Typically this inv

Google Domains incorrectly banned me. I filed an appeal showing how I was indeed authorized to perform the actions I had performed, that I was not in violation of their Terms of Use, and included the contact information of the various parti

Yeah, new version is about the same. If you want to check it out, here's a couple photos from when I picked some peppers the other day: https://ojensen5115.quickconnect.to/mo/sharing/pgdYsVEqu

Thanks for the heads up! Looks like I have an update to install :)

The software with these features is called Synology Moments. I use it and I mostly love it, at the very least as a backup for my Google Photos. My experience is that it works great, provided that you're on your local network. When away

Interesting, that's pretty cool. Thanks!

I'm unconvinced. "The ability to turn this into arbitrary code execution depends on what other executables are available on the system" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting here. Remember: you have control over only the environmen

Interesting - a while ago I had a runaway script create files in a directory until the system ran out of inodes. I thought I had cleaned up after myself, and while that directory only has a hundred or so files in it now, the directory itsel

What does it mean to be "89% close to" Agave when it comes to DNA? Are we talking genetic similarity, or estimated likelihood of a match? Considering that a human's genetic similarity to a cat is 90% and even to a banana is a

Laying brick is hard . I bricked up a small gap in a two-foot-tall brick wall in my back yard recently. It took me literally all day, and looks exactly as messy as someone who lays bricks might expect from someone who uses a computer for a

Hey man, if you ever need someone to shoot the shit with or whatever, shoot me a DM via keybase ( https://keybase.io/ojensen ) or any of the networks linked there. I'm also pretty okay at several online multiplayer games

That part in particular set the tone for this entire post for me. It convinced me that I could not trust the author to be intellectually or rhetorically honest, at which point I no longer see any value in this write-up. It also helped me re

How would you rate-limit an unauthenticated-by-definition endpoint?

Wouldn't help much with it right there in the URL too. Even if it weren't, triggering a password reset for somebody and then fuzzing the url space ends up working pretty quick. I saw a few comments talking about rate limiting but
