Modern life is full of these tiny inconveniences. It usually involves some sort of "smart" devices, like light switches, stoves, elevator buttons, etc. Each one of which could be forgivable, but in sum it's like death by a th

I think the threat model here is that a different, malicious app (compromised, installed accidentally or by the means of social engineering) might take screenshots of your screen and forward them to take advantage of you. You can file this

Ironic. No, the claim was that critics were painted as "anti science" and that Hawking radiation was taken as granted. The link I shared shows that critics were taken seriously and confronted with formal arguments, including the s

They're addressing that: > Those produced by cosmic rays would pass harmlessly through the Earth into space, whereas those produced by the LHC could remain on Earth. However, there are much larger and denser astronomical bodies than

You are in no position to throw accusations considering the amount of misinformation you are spreading. You could have spent two minutes to find out the actual arguments from scientists regarding the safety of the LHC, but chose not to. Her

I don't even know where to begin. JWST didn't just "happen". It was conceptualized, designed, built and launched by the very scientists who wanted to test and improve their theories. No serious scientist thinks that thei

I hate how Atlassian products hijack regular browser features and re-implement them in JS. When I open our Confluence page, it runs a bloated mess of 10MB of JavaScript. All of their WYSIWYG editors are terrible and I'm constantly figh

How do you manage system wide settings? I've been using ansible, but it seems a bit overkill. I feel it's over complicating things.

Actually it's enough to have a sufficiently large amount of hydrogen. No extra light necessary.

I don't even understand why people call it a paradox. A paradox has no obvious solution. This one has many obvious solutions, the most obvious one that the premise is faulty: perhaps life is not common at all.

Ha, I love this! I have something similar for confluence. I'm the only known user though, it's probably full of bugs. https://github.com/AdrianVollmer/Congruence

Kerberoasting specifically targets service tickets, not TGTs. I wonder if the change really only applies to TGTs or if they simply neglected to mention service tickets.

Rule S101 [1] is not in the default settings. If you choose to enable it, you have the possibility of disabling it for your tests like so: [tool.ruff.lint.per-file-ignores] "tests/*" = ["S101"] (Besides

Not a different certificate, but one signed by an untrusted authority. HSTS won't let you bypass it. There used to be a Firefox addon that could warn you if the actual certificate changed, but it died with manifest addons.

Even this random German insurance reseller (some call it a pyramid scheme) DVAG has its own TLD. You can buy anything with money.

Generating an evil wallet where the last six characters or so match the original is probably feasible. I heard of this being done to SSH host keys. Someone invented randomart images to make it easier for humans to compare binary strings [1]

I thought OpenVPN simply opens a TLS encrypted connection. How does it look different than HTTPS?

Yes. Im European. Everytime I'm out in a group and someone pays for everyone, they always ask for money via paypal, and I'm always the only one who doesn't have an account.

This is the first time I heard quanta magazine being accused of click bait. They show no ads and don't sell anything. What would be their motivation for using click bait? Click bait used to mean things like "five reasons you alway

Simply running the software means trusting the developer. But even then, do you really read the commits comprising the latest Firefox update? How would I review the updates for my cell phone? I just hit "okay", or simply set up au

There are scenarios in which you allow it to run python or uv for the session (perhaps because you want it to run tests on its own), and then for whatever reason it could run `subprocess.run("rm -rf / --no-preserve-root".spli

§69 is specifically about computer programs, so it doesn't apply to printer cartridges or cigarettes.

So the law which they're using here says that only the copyright owner is allowed to modify or rearrange (whatever that means) a program. Couldn't you argue that an adblocker doesn't do that? I run the "program" of

The law in question is specifically about computer programs. It applies to neither newspapers nor friends. This whole thing is not about what ought to be right, but what the current law says.

When I was a grad student at the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Heidelberg in 2014, they still had a few of these secretaries who would type out handwritten manuscripts by professors who couldn't or wouldn't write LaTeX. May
