I found it interesting that they know how to use strace, but not how to list open files held by a process which to me seems simpler. Again, not criticism just an observation and I enjoyed the article

What I want is a setting on my phone (and in my browser) that just says yeah, give them everything they wants. Cookies, nearby devices, photos, bluetooth, you want it take it. But every time the app/website tries to read from there it

The massive centralisation going through cloudflare, especially their dns, is good reason to reconsider using them. It doesn't matter how good their product or ethos is, 10s of %s of the Internet traffic going through one company is a

I get your point but there are more factors at play here that you might not be aware of. The debt in question was council tax, every household in the UK pays this at a monthly rate, something like £140 a month. But what most people don&#x27
