i am not sure you got that right from me. i probably should have made clear these are meant to be separate statements. what i actually meant is the stuff he describes on how he expects this to work for him. for example a kidnapper would alr

>You can still lose your passport. It's less likely than losing your phone, but still. Also, to access the cryptographic functions of a passport, you probably need a NFC reader, which isn't exactly accessible. i thought maybe t

is there any benefit in using the phone network for 2FA besides (IMHO too) easy recovery in case of loss? Is there an equivalently usable method for recovery? recovery codes aren't practicall i guess because people would keep loosing t

i want to point out that the way the addresses in the image of the mail is hidden appears to be easily recoverable even with plain eyes. Also, if you really think the likelihood of someone kidnapping you is somewhat high and you are prepari

i think the Matroska container format (mkv) can do things like that. I remember reading that you could store video/audio content in separate files without player configuration. No idea how well that's supported though. Update: Sor

well, minus the on the fly part, i guess. I thought it might be semi automatic by trying to skip actually understanding spoken words but counting syllables or similar to detect accurate timing. I don't know what the workflow usually lo

when i see some geometric animations often in small badly encoded videos i wish i would know a repository of programs that create these in order to render them onto the background in a pixel perfect manner without wasting too much resources

maybe its just me and my avoidance of unit testing but often when i tried this it appeared overly complex at setting things up for testing and the code you need is buried in between some dozens tests and their setup. I think its a good idea

no. i don't know gitlab well enough but maybe the project is not really set up as public.

i think that is fine actually. however, if i would implement such thing i would probably redirect DNS traffic to my DNS server as long as you are not authenticated :)

I've seen this on Ubiquity hardware as an option too. Apparently it requires you to "check-in" via facebook to use it, whatever that means exactly. There is also an option to login via facebook without this though.

i don't know about vim but in emacs tramp mode allows this. However, you could just mount the remote filesystem via sshfs which makes it work everywhere (its slow though).

i used to think like this but honestly i am somewhat convinced of systemd by now. Whlie it feels like a completely different approach for no apparent reasons, the more i have to handle systemd and "the others" the more i prefer th

maybe its not very common everywhere but here in Germany i have seen multiple ISPs deploying DS-Lite which means you will get CGNAT for IPv4 networks. whats worse is while if you demand a public IPv4 address you will get it you also wont ge

could this be because it bypasses a cached response? does it work if one just changes capitalization of any character? (i have no deal with the IRS so cant test myself)

i think its possible to analyze signatures in various ways that are hard to replicate. but a copy is always just a copy. What i beleive the thing here is that there are court proven ways to analyze writing styles in signatures and some more

thats is one of the reasons i think its not smart to automatically start some services per default after package install on Debian. I guess its justified by having sane default service configurations but its still a bad idea in my opinion

while probably more common i thought its somewhat foreign to prioritize based upon who is first to have something to say. I don't remember it like that in school. If anything the first people to raise their hands were those that always

i guess you already tried issuing commands like i mentioned?! i am still confused by this code but to me it looks like this has been originally written in another language but maybe this is just what it looks like after de-compiling. seeing

in marketing they try hard to make it sound like what you are going to get by renting their device is WiFi not just the ability to turn on WiFi functionality of the CPE. of course everybody wants that but most people don't get that&#x2

most of the time you only require PPPoE or DHCP as you practically speaking get a ethernet tunnel to your ISP using that bridge. Some ISPs additionally segment this network by VLANs so your list of required features is probably already comp

if you happened to live in Germany there is a law in place that force ISPs to allow that. But if you would live in Germany you would probably know about this. That said there is no technical reason making it impossible. If you connect an un

it looks like this CLI has some hardcoded shell commands with variable substitutions that look possibly unprotected against command injection. For example iptables %s > %s 2>&1 could probably be executed as iptables -L;

i am no expert on this but i was thinking it is only possible to inject noise which is likely corrupting the filesystem in the process. copying/moving valid blocks should be prevented by XTS as far as i understood (which might not be t
