What you're describing is an echo chamber, when people willingly share only things that they know resonate with the group. While still somewhat detrimental, it's at least a visible problem - everyone is aware of it because everyon

The only use case of mine that's not solved by keepass is creating passwords on two separate machines without a direct connection, and merging them later.

"pass generate" has a -i flag to only replace the password in a file (assumed to be the first line)

Technically, yes, but at least it's not filter bubbling everyone.

You mean like how the current twitter owner tweaks the algorithm to push his narrative? This is why there was never one big forum, and there never should've been.

Most of the 20+ minute long videos are bound to be filled to the brim with filler and bullshit. I'm not asking for much, but please stop pretending your video game review is worth an hour of introductions, personal anecdotes, comedy sk

If this is not a statcounter anomaly, the explanation seems obvious: more people are dropping windows in general (both 10 and 11), mostly in favor of phones and tablets (as has been a trend for years now), or in the niche cases, linux. Mean

On the one hand what you're saying seems somewhat fair, but on the other hand, I prefer encouraging the attempt. A portion of the people who do this will never have to call you, having managed to solve the issue, and any experience gai

You're right, gpg does asymmetric encryption. Don't know how I got that wrong, lol. But yeah the asymmetric part isn't really used in this context.

At work we use OneLogin, set to require the app. However, it stores a regular TOTP code in the app, it's just encrypted with the android keystore. I had to hook the base64 decoding function on my rooted phone to extract it, and put i

I've been storing OTP secrets using `pass`[0] with `pass-otp`[1]. This does the whole symmetric encryption for me using `gpg`, decodes the URL for me to pass it into oathtool, and allows me to share the codes with my phone using Androi

The only thing the SDS metadata holds is the string's length. Just like how you'd have to realloc() a regular string before using strcat(), you have to sdsgrowzero() an sds string before using strcat(). Basically, standard libc fu

They're also the best equipped to tell if you've done so, and restrict access from critical functionality needed by many in their day-to-day lives if you've done so. The intentions behind all the security hardware they introd

Glibc is one of the few userspace libraries with backwards compatibility in the form of symbol versioning. Any program compiled for glibc 2.1 (1999!) and later, using the publically exposed parts of the ABI, will run on modern glibc. The tr

> If I write [str] I want the inut string to be Unicode. No, nothing about the "string" type in python implies unicode. It's, for all intents and purposes, its own encoding, and should be treated as such. Not all encodings

Yeah I have no idea what is wrong with that. Python simply operates on arrays of codepoints, which are a stable representation that can be converted to a bunch of encodings including "proper" utf-8, as long as all codepoints are r

I imagine they might be counting actual applications and not libraries/dependencies. Lots of things on the web are closed source.

I agree, this should be the case, but Gradle specifically relies on downloading prebuilt java libraries and such to build itself and anything you build with it, and sometimes these have prebuilt native code inside. Unlike buildroot and any

I think it's extremely useful to have more strict requirements on how programs are built, to make sure that developers don't do stupid things that makes code harder for others to compile. The tools in question in OP should be easy

By topping the leaderboard plenty of people see it and donate their IP to them. What are you gonna do, claim your own IP for yourself and go up against those behemoths? Of course you're gonna form alliances.

Unlike the UK Internet Safety Act, the GDPR is really easy to comply with for small independent websites. It was aimed at the big companies and companies unethically mining data, and it didn't do much outside of that scope.

The only HiDPI setting I toggle is Xft.dpi in ~/.Xresources This scales fonts in gtk3, and is used for the scale factor in firefox and Qt apps, and is recognized by most apps using something custom.

In my experience, too many of these curl scripts are a bootstrap for another script or tarball which gets downloaded from somewhere else, and then downloads more stuff. Looking at just the main script tells you nothing. Consider for example
