I created picosnitch which may be of interest if you also want to see the executable behind each request, this way you wouldn't need to disable NextCloud, Dropbox, Slack, etc (the UI doesn't have negative filtering, yet, but every

Could you try picosnitch? (disclaimer, I'm the author of it) It should be able to get the executable (and the hash of it) or at least give you a little more information. Of those I only see 151.101.193.91 which was used for nominatim.g

I have the same setup and experience, but there's still two things that annoy me. The setting up your device prompts where you have to skip their attempts to upsell an office 365 subscription, change the default browser, link your phon

I personally use fish, but mostly for the out of the box auto completions and highlighting, I don't use it for actual scripting, nor have it set as the login shell due to the 2nd reason you mentioned. I mostly use python as well, and f

I don't know the setup used for the ruler and compass constructions, but there's a game called Euclidea [1] which may be of interest. I found the level progression, scoring system, and solving proofs to unlock new "tools&quot

It's basically a form of rubber duck debugging. I also use for quickly writing tiny programs to isolate and test a specific piece of functionality.

pyxargs [1] It's basically a combination of find & xargs which also allows for python one liners, some examples: create a JSON mapping of /etc/hosts cat /etc/hosts | pyxargs -d \n -s "\s+" --im jso

This problem is even simpler if you notice that the rectangle made up of yellow + green + pink is just 3x the area of the orange rectangle, by definition. Since these two rectangles share the same width, the combined rectangle must have 3x

The same goes for me and I imagine many more. This is literally the only thing holding it back from being the perfect Google Photos replacement for families with someone who self-hosts.

This is only my personal experience, but I agree with you, even with an optimal setup I still require ~5-10 minutes of breaks every couple hours when staring at my monitor. With VR I could easily do (when I had the time) a full day (~12 hou

I created a jail for fail2ban with logpath = /var/log/auth.log and for the filter I use failregex = .*Connection closed by authenticating user [a-z_]([a-z0-9_-]{0,31}|[a-z0-9_-]{0,30}\$) <HOST> port [0-9]* \[p

This is why I require both a private key and a password. I have fail2ban configured to block IPs with invalid private keys after a couple attempts, and if the key is valid to email me and rate limit invalid password attempts. This gives a m

A little buzzer/led you can plug into an épée to detect hits without a scoring box, there's no grounding so it still triggers on hitting the opponents weapon but was more than good enough for practices. It was very simple, using a

Not GP, but security refers to the protection of the system, while privacy refers to the protection of information. So you need to protect the system to protect the information on it, but there are also sometimes trade offs between security

I found the best solution for myself was the delaying page feature, set to 15 seconds. This added enough friction to prevent mindless checking, but still allowed for purposeful checking without training muscle memory to disable it.

I apologize, that's a fair question given that I named it after Little Snitch. One reason I used the prefix pico is because it's extremely little, supporting only a subset of Little Snitch's features. On Linux there's al

What is your threat model, and what type of traffic are you hoping to block? I never claimed picosnitch to be a firewall. My use case involved running it on servers with a minimal OS where all applications are containerized. My goal was pur
