I still don't understand that move. If Mozilla needs money, why spend whay they already have on these useless thigs?

I guess this is a cultural thing. As an irreligious person in a mostly religious country (Turkey), I don't really feel anxious sharing the same workspace or classroom with religious people, unless they are murderous/violent funda

"Security compliance" is about how you use a given database, not which one you happen to use. You can securely (but inefficiently) store credentials in a plain text file. WRT some defences becoming outdated by time, well, it

Oh thanks. I guess you're referring to GDPR. I'll take note to research this in the future and have found some resources after seing your comment, but I'd fancy some links if anybody has them that elaborate this topic.

Thanks, I'll look into them, but are there any compulsory standards anywhere? AFAIK this is entirely optional, i.e. left to the good will of the company.

I wish there was a "web security checklist" where if you ticked all the boxes, you can be pretty sure you have the well-known holes covered. This is why web frameworks are really useful, the decent ones get you way ahead in secur

The industry is held to no standards at all. You can keep plain-text passwords in your databases, do no tests at all, and be incompetent in a million other ways. I usually get downvotes when I say this, but by now there needs to exist cer

Every enterprise has to earn a decent amount of money to survive, let alone succeed in a financial way. They'd just start out as a NGO otherwise. WRT dumping Patreon and the like, I'd rather see community-efforts and enterprise c

Oh, alright then. I didn't know urllib3 was a different thing. I'm recently returning to python after some years, still catching up with all the new things.

You should be able to add headers to your request. I set my user agent as such: import urllib.request as rq req = rq.Request(url, headers={'User-Agent': useragent}) request = rq.urlopen(req, timeout=timeout) You should

Is there any advantages over using Ubuntu itself directly?

When I was recently writing a Python script to ping the urls in places.sqlite to check for link rot, I had to change the urllib's useragent to mimick a modern browser, because otherwise lots of web sites redirect me around or return er

That's a very bad marketing advice. In case someone finds out what you've done, it's a red cross mark on your brand.

I watched the entire video; I think they are talking about how to act during an interrogation, not in a setting like in your example.

Nothing near this but I do the following: - Use tree style tabs - Use vimium ff for the ^ binding, toggles between the two tabs most recently viewed - Tabs means "read this ASAP" - Bookmarks toolbar means "read it later"

Combined with tree style tabs this is very useful. Tree style tabs provide organisation nearly without you having to do anything special. But sometimes for a deep dive shopping session or researching something across many sites, I open a

I was considering Patreon for some stuff I planned to publish in somewhat distant future, but now this makes me suspicious. On such a platform I'd rather want to have numerous people that give me $1 monthly rather that a bunch that pa

Wow thanks, the directory was absent in my profile, and I was thinking maybe my version doesn't do this. It's all nice and (slightly more) spacious now!

Well if that's the case it'd be better for them to say "we do such and such because law requires us to do so", no?

First of all I'm not questioning the present accusations. I don't even follow them that closely, to be honest. And, I was talking about the social punishment anyways. People can behave how they wish, but that does not mean they
