For me it is because it normalizes bad practice. There is a reason we have packages and signatures. It is not as bad as: curl something | sh Where you can detect on the server side that the download goes into a pipe (due to bufferi

It looks really awesome. Thanks. This anti-pattern is a bit of a red flag for me though: bash -c "$(curl -fsSL http://gef.blah.cat/sh)"

My own server, since 2001. Regex part since about 2003. It has been very effective, and still is. The most effective thing back in the day was blocking based on TCP fingerprint, as "Windows XP" was different from "Windows 200

I use "-" instead of "+" with a regex: "/^name-.*@mydomain\.tld$/". Then I block them when I get spam after they get compromised. Many spammers already know to remove anything after the +-sign. But I

They will shoot you to defend themselves and others if necessary. But not to prevent you from escaping. They will overpower you if they get the chance. Bottom line: If you are not a danger to anyone, they will let you escape rather than kil

It did, when it turned out you could game the system to move eyeballs from reality, to fiction that confirmed peoples biases. (both search engines and other content ranking systems).

I have played ~5 seconds of one random episode from the front page on my Netflix profile since i subscribed around 2016. This was just to verify that it worked. It still chuckles me up when they send me an e-mail once in a while, about what

Thanks for that. Now I have 530 episodes in my podcast queue :)

Really? Where I live, cops only shoot if necessary, and someone getting away is not a valid reason. Maybe in some very extreme case they would, but it is better that someone escapes custody than someone (including the suspect dying). Then a

Maybe you should also look into eatmydata. It can speed up apt (when installing dependencies) by an order of magnitude. It will also speed up your builds in general. (I am guessing you don't care about a half built package in case of a

OpenBSD has handled this case for some years. I do not know if there was any breakage or fallout from this. https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/74212563870067f5b1e271...

A former coworker has a wife alert. When her phone connects to the WiFi, the light at his desk turns red. He mumbled something about needing to close a bunch of tabs featuring pink pixels.

I agree. If capitalism is the fuel that makes the car run, as some say it is (maybe it is? I don't know.), it needs to be regulated and applied in the right place and amount to make the car go forward. Some people seem to think more is

>At the end all of your jails end up on the same loopback interface, making it hard to firewall. I couldn't find a way to have one network interface per jail. FreeBSD jails has quite a bit of history (developed in 1998) and made pub

Maybe because they put their needs before yours?

Yes, 64 bits is the same amount of space as an entire IPv4 Internet NAT'ed behind every IPv4 address on the current Internet. Actually more if you take multicast and reserved addresses into account.

Since they are prioritizing and doing one before the other, I would guess that either they need the same people or the same machines to do it. I would expect different machines for the two tasks. So it must be people? Right? Anyway, I think

I have no knowledge about snowplowing and I was just guessing that the cost of labor could be a factor. "Low-paying" jobs pay a lot better in Scandinavia than most other places. Most (basically all) people are payed a living wage

Maybe manpower is the limiting factor and not machines? I would guess that the salary for driving a snowplow is higher in Sweden than many other places.

As an European this confuses me. In most of the world (AFAIK) "liberal" is basically the same as capitalist. So for example Trump is a liberal. Is this because the democrats and republicans switched platforms way back? Here in Den

In some places (including Denmark) encryption is allowed as long as the signal is somehow identifiable (includes your call sign or DMR ID). I know that some use WiFi outside normal bands (3.3–3.8 GHz) and simply set the SSID to their call s

Didn't have this before? VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) in the 90's. I seem to recall using it on my SGI O2 with Irix and Netscape.

Not in my experience. Everyone was very welcoming. And many were actively doing outreach. I got my "Radio Amateur Extra" license in August of last year.
