I don't think this is a "security" issue as much as it's a usability or privacy issue, and I don't think it's an example of Discord being evil. For a start, it's not quite "on install", but after

Discord is by far and away the best Electron app I have ever used. I don't know what their secret sauce is, but it's the first time I haven't run back into the arms of a functionally-inferior competitor product written in lit

Feynmann is not a popular figure just because of his contributions to physics. I'd say his popularity stems from how engaging a person he is: It's hard to watch Feynmann talk about something he's interested in (and he's

I suspect that this is not a case of Powershell "sucking" but it being a tool that is completely unfamiliar to you. You say you run compare-object and you're surprised that it returns an object; Powershell is essentially an o

Just a correction: Valve do not sell in AUD in the Australian Steam store. They sell only in USD. They do, however, comply with Australian law with regards to ratings & releases, and they do have price discrimination - Items in the Aust

Facebook's rules are necessary because of the nature of the beast: When a company is large enough to have to begin to hire outsiders to moderate content, the "moderation culture" (for want of a better term) is lost. In order

There are reasons to be alarmed at the "throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks" approach. Like perhaps you decide to use a product that they're not particularly interested in supporting very well, and a year later they d

All of this arguing about PGP is just bike-shedding. OpenPGP is not going to gain any traction if it continues in the same vein it's already been in for years. There's a reason that there's a lot of really smart people writin

Of course it doesn't help that I'm silly and left a bracket on the end of the URL and can't change it.

The only possible answer here is "it depends". As SQLite themselves state, they're running a 500K hits/day site on SQLite just fine. They also point out that their site is not particularly write heavy, which is a somewha

Definitely unsubstantiated: If this is just at an AirBnB, it's probably not going to be a commercial wifi system. On your topic, though, Princeton noticed something similar with regards to iOS and DHCP, although it is several years old

That's an extremely good answer to the question I posed. Thank you. Essentially the answer is that there's less immediate reliance on moving parts, which makes sense when you get to a certain level of scale and risk aversion -- a

Your article doesn't mention it: Have you tried using a statically assigned IP address? (Poor etiquette inside the DHCP range, but maybe if you just snarf the IP you've already leased..) I ask this because OS X's DHCP stack i

That exact scenario is covered by the concept of "cached credentials" in the case of SSSD. If your authentication services or down (or the box you're attempting to log into is offline) there's a period in which you can l

I thought this was mostly a solved problem? SSSD or FreeIPA and a bunch of LDAP servers. Cached credentials will keep you online in the case of a transient authentication issue. HA LDAP is pretty much a solved problem as well. Say what you

Chrome does it too. As does outlook, Firefox, possibly a bunch of other things. I think you'll find that the stream is zone-identifier. It can contain a value of 1 to 4, where each corresponds to a list of Windows' security zones

The linked explanation is relatively poorly written, in my opinion. The actual paper that he wrote ( http://philpapers.org/archive/SHATVO-2.pdf ) is far far better. The original critique is of the arguments of post-moder
