If a "well-defined goal" project gets popular and sticky enough, it can metamorphize into an "ever-evolving" project by injection of VC capital.

Shell and bash are easy to write insecurely and open your CI runners or dev machines up for exploitation by shell injection. Non-enthusiasts writing complex CI pipelines pulling and piping remote assets in bash without ShellCheck is a risky

There are bad CoCs and ways to abuse them and people who do. That doesn't mean the concept of setting social expectations for a collaborative project is inherently bad. Same as for discussion forum guidelines and moderation. No CoC is

I think single-secret files and filesystem permissions are superior between the presented options. You don't need root to do what rootless podman does and create and work in directories that processes spawned from your normal user can&

Cool. How many HR departments do you believe had the Civil Rights Act as part of their onboarding in the 80s?

People leave Iran for UK. The idea is that if UK seems less attractive and stable, fewer people will be strongly inclined to pursue it. It also normalizes chaos at home. I think there are parallels to draw to how Fox News tried to paint a p

If you use uBlock Origin you can enable the "Privacy -> Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN" filter list to mitigate this.

cat <<EOR > "${file}" [Desktop Entry] Comment=Bash has heredocs. EOR I think the reason they are confused is that this is entirely out of context.

Yeah, my worry has recently been the opposite: That at least from afar they seem onboard the same Wayland track as the other DEs just at a slower pace. As long as Xorg is around I hope Xfce never deprecates X.

There is a middle ground of running it on a Heroku-style PaaS hosting for example Docker containers. No Next.js. Don't go for the complexity of kubernetes unless you really know you want it or need it. Similarly for the database, you c

I may have missed something but Akamai seem to be living proof that it's possible to operate that kind of business at scale from the US without vice signalling or publicly sucking up to fascist authoritarians.

That you don't mention NAT punching or discovery as outstanding is encouraging - that seems to be the hard part where others fall so if that's in a workable state and the project resists the allure of centralizing control ("s

Are we still doing these kinds of lionizing puff pieces after SBF, Holmes, Musk and all the others? By now, I consider being featured in one a negative signal.

Representatives and government institutions should stop relying on it as a channel to interact with their populace, peers, and media. That would be a good start. Take a hint from DT and set up a Mastodon server for the party.

Had a close call: Apparently it's possible to bypass 2FA and do a password reset of a Google account without email access, if the account owner doesn't abort it within 30 days. I confirmed that it works by "pwning myself&quot

If you don't mind, what would you say are the missing pieces (if any) before I should feel confident moving family chat to River? I think answer to this will be very helpful in understanding the state of the project and how we can cont

This is mentioned in the FAQ; https://freenet.org/faq/#why-was-freenet-rearchitected-and-r... So I guess this is still Locutus, which is the New FreeNet, related to Original FreeNet (by now rebranded to Hyphanet) in na

> The original Freenet dates back to the early 2000s Oh so both are called Freenet again? Or is this a new third project? For a while some people were adamant in refering to the original (which still lives but I believe is incompatible?)

Spammers plastering /new with self-promotion posts is a thing and filtering those out would be useful. I don't see how more CAPTCHAs would improve the over-all situation, on the other hand. On the more benign side, maybe some peop

Does it work out if we imagine that Prince and/or the person who wrote the post don't have the full picture of Cloudflares own involvement?

HN already enforces ReCAPTCHA for registrations. More CAPTCHAs will not do much if anything to improve.

What's the issue exactly? They seem to manage to handle account signups with email addresss from unknown domain names just as fine as for hotmail.com and gmail.com. I don't see how this is any different. The whole point of standar
