The article at the end talks about how is very easy for arbitrary apps from app stores can install a residential proxy on your phone. 10 years ago, apps had to explicitly state if they needed network access. And then the powers that be deci

These are not the worst graphs in the world... Sure the bottom left axis is not labeled, but it still conveys the point correctly. The growth between 2023->2024->2025->2026 is growing quickly. And that in the end/beginning of

The thread here doesn't explain why GPL might be better. So I'll try. You're correct, with MIT there are a lot less restrictions. I can make GPL or pretty much any other license. Including one that I sell and never have to re

Reading your comment made me segfault a little. You don't understand the argument of why people might want to install their own OS on a device they own. And then say you won't buy another iPhone because you don't like their s

If I'm reading any of this correctly, this doesn't apply to hardware attestation. It seems apple has a service, with an easily rotated key and an agreement with providers. If the key _Apple_ uses is compromised, they can rotate it

Maybe not so doable. The whole point of io_uring is to reduce syscalls. So you end up just three. io_uring_setup, io_uring_register, io_uring_enter There is now a memory buffer that the user space and the kernel is reading, and with that bu

In 2007 several people and I started NYC Resistor, a hacker space in Brooklyn, completely unaware of this resistors in New Jersey. It was over 10 years later that any of us heard of this much older resistor. It's kinda it funny how sim

Nix in production is more common than you think, even at scale. It's hard to know what exactly your security concerns are here, but if you look at the current ecosystem of using containers and package registries, Nix is pretty clearly

This again is a limitation of mapping labels to IMAP, which does not understand labels. Both the Gmail web interface and the Gmail API allow the ability to set all the labels for a message. This can effectively enable your desired functiona

Long article, but the fundamental premise is that IMAP, SMTP, and POP are all you need. And that email clients are good... This is just false IMHO. There is a reason why both Fastmail and Gmail implement their own protocols in addition to t

The same is true, if you rename a .png to .jpg and opening it with an image viewer, it will render.

File extensions are just a hint about what the file might be and have nothing to do with what the file actually is. If the server sets the MIME type, the browser will use that as the hint. But even beyond that, most file formats have a bit

I'm not so sure most people would agree with you. Though I think plenty would. I dare say that developers like environment variables more than before. Consider that Docker images, and hence Helm charts, are entirely controlled via envi

You should look into why cities use smooth asphalt over concert which would be significantly less maintenance. Cars driving around create a lot of noise. Driving on a rough surface like concert, let alone a bumpy surface like brick or cobbl

Population of the world in 1950 was 2.5 billion. The population of the world has over tripled. This world put a lot of scaling pressure on everything. I didn't think plastics are used because they are considered the only submittable su

You may not remember GameSharks, but those things did you exactly what you suggest. As do most game cheat engines. Editing the state, directly in RAM, without the program's knowledge. The next time something tries to use whatever memor

I started with MySQL in 2006 for my personal projects, but what first won me over to psql was those commands. Today I use CLIs like usql to interact with MySQL and SQLite so I can continue to use those commands. At first glance they may be

Agreed, raid is not backup. But restoring 50TB of data from actual backups take a lot of time. I like BTRFS to a fair degree, but thae fact that _any_ two drives failing in its "raid 10" configuration causes data loss is not obvi

I think this is undercutting the announcement. A baofeng is a specialized tool specifically for RX/TX 2m and 70cm analog audio radio waves. Of course it can listen to walkie talkies which are transmitting on 70cm. I read your comment a

In the non-pinned, non-auto updated repos, I see commits from two weeks ago. Though the main contributors are pretty active with nixpkgs, so a lack of commits here doesn't necessarily mean they aren't working on improving snowflak

Wait, people are using graphql for private, not exposed, backend apis? Who would torture themselves like that? Isn't the whole point that your frontend can make the exact queries it needs and load the exact data it needs? Namely, last

There are too many reasons to list. But the primary reasons DNS is a hierarchy of DNS services hosted by many distinct groups. And DNS records are queriable publicly, but also consider private. Almost all servers in the world disable AFRX f
