I'd rather expose a Wireguard port and control my keys than introduce a third party like Tailscale. I am not sure why people are so afraid of exposing ports. I have dozens of ports open on my server including SMTP, IMAP(S), HTTP(S), va

I think MS's biggest mistake was to not properly maintain and develop the Foundation Classes, basically a thin C++ wrapper library on top of the C API that retained most of the benefits of the Win32 API while eliminating a lot of the b

I think the conclusion here is that Raspberry Pis are now too pricey (especially when factoring in the various required accessories) and rarely make sense for typical desktop use vs. x86 mini-PCs. They make even less sense compared to vario

Aren't those Fritz!Box routers (common in Europe) precisely examples of "shitty routers with terrible security?" The first thing I would do with a typical residential Internet connection is to ask the ISP to give me an ONT so

To be fair, this seems to be mostly a European problem. U.S. banks do not seem to enforce Play (dis)Integrity.

Maybe they should start by outlawing Google Play Integrity then. This will immediately make FOSS Android phones more useful in Europe.

Maybe just trust the users, and rely on human moderation to deal with abuse. It's basically how any community works.
