It’s due to what is effectively a network file system. You have the same issue with nfs, 9pfs, parallels prl_fs, etc. It has to stat every file in the repo and that gets expensive on ang RPC protocol. Even local ones apparently. This is mad

Population decline. Which in itself may not be a problem but has all sorts of interesting economical consequences. You get an aging population requiring care, with less people to both physically and financially/economically fund them.

Yep, I have 37 flagged. Almost entirely accidental. And I have caught and undone many more. Very few in 2022, 2023 though. Mostly before that. Though I think I read HN on my phone much less than I used to, likely why.

Doing it at Defcon is a show. The point isn't really to actually collect passwords there, it's to demonstrate what's possible in the rest of the world, where people absolutely will.

I have always thought the division is to basically protect Apple's cut of the revenue for "App Sales". Not, strictly speaking, because they want to take 30% of every possible purchase or service -- though I am sure they would

I agree the Kindle part was silly, and could be much improved. I just wanted to specifically clarify why you started out on the wrong foot with iOS and why the iOS app couldn't even tell you about the option existing elsewhere. However

The reason is that Apple specifically requires all digital only purchases to only use in-app payment and must give Apple 30%. You are not allowed to process digital purchases through an app with your own payment system. You also can’t tell

You sound about the same era as me. I'm 35 now, have been using Linux since 2001 until now. Just remember, that when you started using Linux, it was about 10 years old. It's now been 20 years since then - double the time has passe

I would strongly recommend signing up for either Backblaze, or using something like iCloud Photos or Google Photos. My entire 100,000 photos, 20 year library is now in iCloud photos. It's constantly synced and backed up to icloud. Then

Tangentially related is this tool for tuning the ECU in Cars. It helps you locate patterns in ECU rom dumps that are likely to be tables. Often they are sets of numbers in a 2D or 3D matrix of some dimension that have smooth increases. Part

What is it pinging? The README would ideally explain what it pings and also the brackets above. I live in Australia. 100-300ms is normal for me unless the thing is also hosted in Australia. So that matters :)

It means malware can’t exfiltrate the SSH key from your machine and keep using it. But yes they can potentially use it while still on your machine depending on if presence confirmation or re-inputting a credential is required. But that stil

This is a great idea. I now exclusively use SSH keys on hardware security modules of some kind. I use "Secretive", a mac app that does the same, plus a yubikey using yubikey-agent ( https://github.com/FiloSottile&#x
