I'd wager the problem with ivermectin and other treatments is that Trump mentioned them. I can't stand the guy, but I also can't stand the Sith attitude that you either take a stand 100% against anything he says or 100% in fa

Do you want to first find that out when you're under duress? Sensible defaults matter.

Seems like this should be baked in to the module. There don't seem to be any circumstances where you would want stdout/stderr from duress.d scripts to appear.

The Hello World example shows echoing to stdout from the duress script. Seems like a bad idea. I don't want to get beaten or shot when some rm -rf fails with an I/O error, alerting the attacker to what's going on. It seems li

Are we really going to continue to break the paradigm that GET requests should be idempotent to save people an extra click or Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V? Standards matter. In this case Google are doing something that should be allowed, but being cri

This is the correct answer. Just because the norm is to embed verification hashes in URLs to be clicked, doesn't mean it's the right way for it to be done. Why not send a short random code by email for the user to then copy into t

I don't doubt the vaccines are effective at reducing negative effects on the vaccinated individual. Nothing in my comment above was intended to imply that. The specific point I was trying to make is that there is conflicting evidence t

I think if you re-read my comment you'll see that I was specifically making a point about reduction in transmission in vaccinated vs unvaccinated individuals, not efficacy. Re-reading it myself, I see that might not have been 100% clea

I think the wreck in the Thames estuary is of genuine concern to the prospect of building a new airport for London on reclaimed land there. The ship would need to be dealt with before building the airport, which surely would require explodi

The annoying thing about unlocking or relocking the bootloader is that it wipes your phone. Unless you're paranoid that someone can give you a rootkit while you're not looking, as long as you use full device encryption then leavin

I think they meant that when they ran Google's automatic import tool it reinstalled all the forcefully installed Google apps from the old phone. The difference with lineageos though is that you can uninstall them afterwards.
