Lets not talk it up more than necessary, staying within the ecosystem is mostly a convenience. I appreciate the reluctance to change over something minor, the point is a bit broader though. Be aware and maybe consider it for the future.

Maybe be the change you want to see in the world and don't use/support the most closed ecosystem? The alternatives are not prefect, nothing is. But they are all more open and that is something we can build upon.

Edge-lit is first and foremost a cost-cutting design. It allowed the thin-craze to advance significantly but edge-lit is also used where thinness isn't prioritized. Because it is primarily the cheapest design they've been able to

The risk with that approach is that every other of the hundreds of developers will bring their own tool for X. So now you have hundreds of tools and everyone only knows a subset. If there is a common operation that people get wrong or don&#

You update your submodules every day? Also, the discussions are there because it's been more than a decade and the options have evolved over time. Submodules are a bit clunky but the problem it solves is itself clunky. Bringing in anot

I know. But this old NAT vs. firewall crap was pointless decades ago. Still is.

by tjoff 2y ago
That is because most systems comes with a firewall on and fairly limited surface area in the form of exposed services. But, there are billions of other devices (IoT etc). that barely has any security protections in place that rely completel

Doesn't change anything, consent and whether you own the device is everything. The comparison with VPNs doesn't hold either, because for all their faults VPNs do not decrypt traffic going through them.

Context isn't the same as syntax? Yes, command line suffers from discoverability of which different applications (such as ln/mklink) may not be consistent. It is one of the bigger problems (imho) of the cli but it doesn't go

Situation is different though, we have very few modern filesystems and have desperately needed some diversion and competition in this area. I've been waiting decades for something like bcachefs, thought it would be btrfs but that turne

That is what I'm looking at. But it costs $3.5 per user to self-host if you need mobile notifications.

I'm trying to pay an amount that makes sense though. It is like the olden days, where piracy of Photoshop didn't put a dent in Adobe. They got free advertising and everyone grew up learning their product. But since you could get t

Every single service is per user and it adds up. Communications are essential, but there doesn't have to be much to it either. Most communications are 1-1 anyway. We could do everything by SMS and email I guess, it is just not built fo

Zulip had flown under the radar for me, looks interesting but the pricing makes me a bit sad. We are a small team, but would probably need like 11 accounts so with self-hosting that puts up us to just about $40 a month only for the sake o

Neither firefox nor chrome works on android with that link.

That's what I meant with slow progress.

Soon source available at least, slow progress: https://about.winamp.com/press/article/winamp-open-source-co... Not quite clear to me which version they are releasing though.

Reducing luck is bad, how? There are scales of it, reducing luck in the sense that you don't require a perfect course. That a speck of dust ruins your run etc. is, within reason, part of the game. But flying blind into a maze and just

But then luck becomes the dominant factor. Whichever robot decides to take a left turn at the right time will win.

Yeah that is such an amazing anti-feature. And how do you deal with changes? Like, when does 1 day ago become 2 days ago? According to google it becomes two days ago after 48 hours. That means if you look at your phone after 47 hours it wil

Going through all that trouble to use a proprietary solution? Rather recommend https://github.com/slackhq/nebula or something.

Agree, I got some anxiety thinking of the security implications of being handed an ipad of unknown source. We are slowly getting to a place where people realize a USB-drive found in the parking lot should be met with suspicion. But target o

But it doesn't matter. That changes nothing more than semantics, which doesn't explain or justify anything.

That's the easy part? just do the domain controller first?

Was thinking about a bootable usb-stick that would do that automagically. But I guess it is harder to boot from a usb-stick in these environments than the actual fix. I guess more feasible and even neater to do it if you have network boot o

SSH might be, but maybe not your terminal. Which the very least can possibly trick you using escape codes. Also, unless my memory fails me 'cat'ing an untrusted file isn't recommended for security reasons. Additionally you sh

A lot of people suggests python, I'd argue that python is a bad fit for what many bash scripts does. A bash script is basically scripting what you do on your terminal. I feel like scripting in the same language that is your terminal in
