I use a trivial program that manages a list of passwords generated using /dev/urandom constrained to simple ascii chars and provides basic features like copying it to clipboard to avoid shoulder surfing. It took an hour to write 1

never used them but just went to their website and concluded it's some novice programmer who has no skill and wants to make a business around software so after going through a few ideas he came up with a password manager. no idea why p

Email is a pile of garbage created with the same mentality of web and UN*X. This stupid shit in 2000 and 2020 still sends my IP address to the receiver for no reason so I have to use the web interface which removes it but then I can't

*sh is only ergonomic if you're using it insecurely. wait, even then it's not ergonomic. you're just insane. the day i figured out about python repl over 10 years ago, i realized *sh is utterly obsolete (and python isn't

> Sysadmins know their tools This is false. Every line they write has potential security implications. If any pattern can become a string injection vulnerability, it will. Even most real programmers do not understand shell scripting. Thi

It's not hard: Imagine if your terminal executed Python repl instead of bash shell. Literally anything is better than bash. It's amazing how people still haven't figured out bash is basically PHP.

I disagree with literally everything in your take. No need to elaborate, just use negation operator on each of your assertions. New thread: Does anyone else know an anime show with hapa characters like asuka?

youre doing something incredibly wrong if there is a threat that your system can be taken over by logging. and java enterprise object store late bound remote naming system registry garbage non-solutions to non-problems are the thing that is

So you're saying having giant IP modules inside your electronics is somehow making things more secure? They certainly don't make the product any less buggy.

>Think of chips as microservices. This is a good analogy, but not in your favor. This is all part of the disease of modern computing where you program against a giant machine with a giant interface and you set a few config variables and
