At least Switzerland/Germany/Austria. I think most of Europe actually. The domain is .ch, so that will be the Swiss locale. In my opinion there are two date formats that make sense: DMY (decreasing granularity) or YMD (increasing

I fully share that opinion. I loved Keybase for its simplicity: It was a way to verify keys based on social media accounts and thus a more practical alternative to the web of trust. The client was optional, I could track someone by using ba

Yaourt shows a big fat red warning every time you install a package. It also offers to open PKGBUILD and .install files for inspection.

by dbrgn 8y ago
The PKBUILD runs in the fakeroot, but AFAIK the .install files (postinstall hooks etc) run on the host system directly, with root permission. Definitely something you will always want to review. (Also, I don't really get the critique o

I can totally relate. For me, it "clicked" when I saw a TV show where one of the moderators went to a tasting session and tried to learn how to taste wine. They showed an aroma wheel similar to this one: http://www.rega

For me, Laphroaig Quarter Cask was also the first Whisky I bought. I kept it around for a long time (maybe 2 years) because I did not want to "waste" it too quickly. The last few glasses I drank were really disappointing compared

In the explanation of Table 5 in the paper (page 21), there's a list of attack vectors with the title "HTML attributes (bypasses for remote content blocking)". So apparently some of these attributes do bypass the inline con

Yes, but that's probably something most people won't do (with the prevalence of HTML email and no plaintext alternative). Also, it was a reply to the parent who stated "If you disable remote content, it can't be exploite

What about attack vectors like this one (from the paper)? For example, in Thunderbird and Postbox we can completely redress the UI with CSS and trick the user into submitting the plaintext with an HTML form if he clicks
