Interesting, a few months ago I tried using systemd-run to implement unprivileged memory limits for a process and I'm pretty sure it didn't work with the user manager. Is this a recent addition? (I'm not sure what version of

Okay, I don't wanna go into a fight over Lastpass because I don't know its tech deep enough to make a judgement (and HN reply limit would prevent it anyways). My point is, there are still some general differences between an online

How so? The password database is still encrypted with a master password which is completely independent of the file sync mechanism. So the master password is not involved in anything network-facing.

What about an offline password manager? Like pass[1] or one that supports the KeePass format. Then you could use your regular file synchronization tool to synchronize the database files. You could also use a P2P sync tool like Syncthing. (O

Syncthing has ignore files which can be used to selectively not sync certain files or folders per device. I'm not familiar with Dropbox's smart sync, so if it's like a transparent on-demand sync then no, Syncthing doesn'

Maybe a weird but honest question: How is/was software even able to finance itself without subscriptions? People expect updates and support which are continuous expenses. One alternative, I guess, are full-price major revisions at semi

Reminds me of a script I wrote a few weeks ago. Basically it listens to Google Chat notifications via D-Bus and plays my phone's alarm clock sound when someone DMs or mentions me. In my case it was meant for when I wanted to take a bre

It's not just about the products themselves (although some products are probably also just clones of something that already existed with better marketing) but rather about everything a software company does in general. Think websites,

I think I see what you mean: There's a lot of potential for better (free) software, especially outside the "software for software developers" domain. Compared to that, a "quirky thing" seems insignificant. But consi

Shouldn't that be handled by tree-shaking?

What about accessibility? As far as I know canvases don't offer ways to expose the same semantic information about their contents as the DOM.

Well, at least they're being upfront about it: You can pay or get ads + tracking (or, the hidden third option: leave the site).

The cat in the first script can be omitted I think (by using the heredoc on sqlite directly).

It's especially ironic given that this is about a StackOverflow code snippet that many people probably also copied without reading.

A few months ago I wrote (and expanded over time) two simple scripts for note-taking and time tracking at work (because our official time tracking tool is kinda lackluster). They're really nothing special, just editing some Markdown fi

How does a Peer-to-Peer cache work in regards to trust?

Yeah, it's pretty weird and apparently it's being updated as well. Like, a year ago or so I wrote a browser extension to trick that detection mechanism when I'm on stock Firefox. Just when writing that comment I discovered so

As far as I know, Cloudflare transparently redirects some Tor users to their own hidden services and then uses the circuit ID for rate limiting: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-onion-service/ "Some" be

Maybe a bit off-topic on this article but what does systemd-nspawn add compared to the aforementioned isolation options and how can you combine the two?

Sorry, I didn't see that comment earlier! Routed turns your virtualization host into a router for a separate network on which your VMs live (afaik). So in order to reach that network you have to define static routes that ultimately lea

So, basically workflows where the cloned code gets run as root without further inspection anyways.

You're absolutely right but unfortunately, my biggest use-case for email is still sending my own personal data to businesses I (more or less) have to interact with that don't offer an alternative. Also, I'm not sure most emai

I'm not at all educated on POP/IMAP but I always thought the deletion thing with POP was just by convention and there's nothing in IMAP preventing you from doing the same there. getmail supports deletion as an IMAP client, fo

Bridged networking in libvirt can be a bit of a pain but I've found that routed works pretty well. Also - if I'm not mistaken - libvirt's netfilter firewalling isn't available on bridged networks.

Just checked on Andrew Kelly's channel ( https://vimeo.com/andrewrk ) and no, it really does look like you get a space of your own. Which makes sense given that show reels / corporate marketing videos appears to be

Vimeo (if I'm not mistaken) offers a plan where you pay them to host your videos and they don't roll any ads on them.

FWIW the Twitter web client can be somewhat easily hacked by blasting it with an interval from a web extension or userscript. It's a bit inefficient and you have to awkwardly navigate the DOM since they're using obfuscated class n
