> The ability to change the app without going through the App Store review process is awesome. Not from an user's viewpoint.

Guess, parent meant form factor of a typical mobile Android device. An external display and HID devices aren't mobile. Yes, I know, one could move their phone between docks and that would be mobile, but bet this is a very rare case.

If/when patents are gone, you could legally use and distribute self-compiled binaries, since source is already under BSD license.

by drdaeman 12y ago
What I don't get is how something like this could be patented. Isn't it all obvious? I think we had every single non-trivial component (single-use tokens passed over secure channels, initialize-send-retry_if_failed loops and other

Because there are too many people who suddenly got terrified about the fact their faces are visible in public and they could be recognized.

Yeah, I was only a bit curious about the wording of the statement.

As for #3, that's what "testing" (or "acceptance", if automated tests are run not in "development" phase, but at a separate "testing" stage) in development→testing→production sequence is for. It&

Hm. "As an expert I can attest DPR sucked at opsec"¹ is a bit unconventional for a legal convention. ;) ¹) Not an exact quote, I know, I glued two sentences together and cut some parts.

We have a tradition of introducing hacks over kludges. Don't break it.

"Proprietary" means "if you ever have issues with that that our support won't be able to solve for you in meaningful time span, you're basically out of luck". We're running a gateway router on Vyatta/

I think the main part about being free software is not that the code could be reviewed or whatever, but that the software respects its users' freedoms. And for me, that alone is a good reason to respect the software and its developer.

I'm afraid Firefox is so abysmal noone could comprehend the whole project's code. Guess, we could only review a tiny bits of it (I had briefly read sync-related parts of code in hope I could replace them with something saner and

Had anyone suggested and/or implemented something like building a tiny wrapper for bash that would clean environment and then execve("/bin/bash.vulnerable", argv, cleaned_envp)?

That's FTPS, not SFTP, to be precise. The former is classic FTP sessions secured with TLS on all or some (negotiated at runtime) connections. The latter is a (saner, IMHO) separate protocol traditionally run over SSH session.
2926.
by drdaeman 12y ago
SFTP would be a better idea, but documentation says they do support FTPS: http://www.evennode.com/docs/ftp-access#tls As for criticism... that they charge premium for TLS on custom domains. While this is probably reaso

I believe it's more about tight vs loose coupling, not integration. The contrast is, systemd's parts are relatively tightly coupled together (in a way one can't easily pull, say, journald and use it autonomously, with other i

by drdaeman 12y ago
Dot in domain part? That's too restrictive. A few TLDs have MX records. There's no reason to reject an address like, say, "postmaster@ws" - it's a perfectly valid address that could be actually working. And why both

Not like I care about karma, but I see downvotes and I don't know what's wrong with my comment. That makes me curious. I have a self-hosted email, my MUA machine's IP was logged in headers (and there's no particular reas

Maybe this is due to lack of context, but with all that "designed to improve your company performance in the critical area" and "investing heavily in great customer service and innovation" that email sounds terribly ente

Guess it would be worth mentioning how to spoof initial Received header for those who self-host their email and run Postfix as their MSA/MTA: https://www.void.gr/kargig/blog/2013/11/24/anonymize

I think I disagree. Classic plain text log files are structured too - they're files of '\n'-separated records, without much else to it. It doesn't really matter (integrity-wise) whenever one's writing, say, JSON or

Well, journald has syslog compatibility layer and can talk syslog, so supporting any existing software is not an issue. It doesn't speak syslog by itself, so it probably can't forward logs to another networked syslog server, but I

What's wrong with old good Unix pipes?

by drdaeman 12y ago
I think I'm mostly fine with journald (as a concept). At least I can explain reasoning for it to myself. A switch from non-structured to structured data provides a significant advantage, and indexes are useful. At least I had too many

Heh, if that works, guess one could sue Google for putting their analytics on many websites. See, those bastards unauthorizedly run their software on my machine, and it even spies on me, reporting on my browsing habits! /jk

That's too vague, unfortunately.

User-defined literals can't generally start with a digit, so it should be perfectly fine to allow 1_000_000 syntax for 1000000. Or I'm forgetting something?

Just wonder whenever someone had experimented with use of constructed or just uncommon languages for such purposes. Such approach is certainly not consumer-friendly, but fun nonetheless. Say, a geeky enough person could use Esperanto or Loj
