Mainly I think because of the scale it's used at, the things it's used for, and the people who use it. Technicalities are secondary to those factors. If Ruby was the only language that ran in the browser, you'd be writing the

Thanks for replying. I'm certainly not meaning to imply that you are in on some conspiracy or anything - you were already in here clarifying things and setting the record straight in a helpful way. I think you are not representative of

"In its current form" is in context of NPM, where I think it's accurate. Great to see PyPi taking a more reasonable path.

I mean, if it meant the infrastructure operated under a franchising model with distributed admin like McD, it would look quite different! There is more than one way to interpret the term "trusted". The average dev will probably ta

Cracking the key? A WPA3 network with a strong unique key should be safe. Sometimes defaults are predictable and users don't change. Sometimes "getting free internet" doesn't involve cracking WPA keys. Think unencrypted

If you want something close to the GitHub UX, then Forgejo or Gitea. If not, there are loads of options depending on your preferences and needs. GitLab is still relevant. Personally I find it too resource-heavy (both server and web ui) to b

Heads up that even if you block local forwarding in the router, it won't always be enough to prevent devices talking to each other over, say, an unmanaged switch or a wifi link. Some (even cheap) unmanaged switches have a "vlan&qu

I don't believe this is true. It certaintly uses less memory out of the box and unlike Gnome, most of the optional extras are easy to disable or uninstall. https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/linux-des-resource-usage-c

This is wild. It must be crowded on these devices by now - it may be a bit misleading to think of it as a single botnet when there are multiple unrelated entities controlling the same devices via the same methods.

Not exactly the answer but if you have one of the affected mentioned devices it should be listening on TCP port 5555. You can do a port scan for that. nmap -Pn 192.168.0.0/16 -p 5555 Replace netmask as appropriate. Now that it&

POTUS confirmed it, first on CBS News and prior to the Guardian posting that, then on his Mastodon server. There is no room for doubt about who bombed where. As this is an evolving situation, the OP headline has now been changed to "Tr

Maybe this is an issue with Windows? Have you tried running Linux with a lightweight X11 window manager? Should be leaner on that T420 and a more forward-looking track for reviving old hardware. Are you even able to get latest Windows Updat

I believe this would in any case require repairing and the new functionality would be visible in the pairing UI? I would be surprised if a device once paired as a headset can suddenly start acting like a keyboard if it feels like it. EDIT:

I don't see any legitimate existential risk for the devs or project? ToS are only relevant for those who are a party to it - this is the users responsibility. Historically, while Apple is protective of their IP they have not been actin
