Yep, a lot of these policies seem to come from some random person scrolling through a list of supported options and arbitrarily making up values that are enforced on people. One of our policies enforce that screen savers must start after 20

I guess each to their own. I want to stage my commit with regular commands, and then have the staging area work with (diff, add/remove etc). I don't care for an interactive tool, IMHO I prefer using commands that are repeatable an

What is the argument against having a staging area? The Git staging area is crucial in my mind.

With noise cancellation I find I never have to crank up the volume above low-medium. This is great as I also try to avoid damaging my hearing more. The iPhone also has a widget in the control center that displays the current decibel number

Firefox for Mac has been more or less unusable up until the most recent release where they actually started using the Core Animation libraries in macOS. Now it won’t drain all the battery in no time, and it’s actually quite snappy. I’ve tri

You can also run in on-demand mode and exclude your home WiFi, which is what I do. Then you'll be connected to the VPN at all times except when you're on the home WiFi.

If the value rises considerably in a few years for you to make a decent profit, then its mostly a headache (and operating costs, wear and tear etc) to have tenants .

Yep, Algo uses the same approach. It's generating device configuration profiles with the necessary settings. I'm generating mine in the same way but slightly different to allow toggling Ethernet and to support the OpenIKED ciphers

On macOS/iOS you can configure the built-in VPN clients to use "on-demand" mode, which wont allow traffic before the VPN connection is established. The only way to configure this however is using the Apple Configurator tool a

bup is focused on backups. Would you say that noms is useful as a backup utility? Do you have any mechanisms for securing integrity, specifically repairing the store in case of inconsistencies? Is there any plans to support any data retenti

Similar quirks in the Python example. Opening the file should ideally be done with a "with" statement to close the file automatically at the end. But in the Ruby example the author at least closed the file instead of doing nothing

Looks interesting for the niche purpose! I certainly can think of a couple of use cases. But I don't understand why the build script is written in Python? I think that either you should use a simple shell script or stick to Go.

Maybe I'm missing something, but if an attacker can update the firmware without Apple's RSA key, then Apple (or you self) should be able to flash it in the same way the attacker did (even though the official update procedure is bl

This is a known method for fixing this type of problem where the solder has been damaged due to excess heat and/or improper cooling from the start. It's also known that this is most likely a temporary fix where it will fail again
