Interesting, in all the years I have never noticed that IP has 2 meanings (well probably more...) Yeah, I am an engineer and usually try to avoid the legal BS. Although I hate that AI has made stealing legal if you are big enough.

Sorry, not following. I thought the user agent is a string that the caller can set to anything. There is no immediate, reliable way to tell whether the string is correct. Yeah, a real browser would produce certain patterns and never certain

It seems to be very popular on this site to condemn surveillance capitalism and billionaires. But who built and still maintains the basis for their power, misusing it and the billions. So-called smart engineers like many of HN readers. If

I don't want to host in a country where a wannabe king breaks the law continously, who treats former allies like enemies etc etc Which country do you recommend? Offshore on my own boat?

I use Clouldflare DoT and enabled validation in systemd-resolved some time ago. Not because I would be particularly paranoid, but more out of curiosity how it works. I noticed no problems, except for with Atlassian. They use 2 second level

I looked at some other cities I know a bit. Those "facts" are typical AI slop. Not always completely wrong, but stereotypes you will easily find on the internet.

It was the default on SUSE / OpenSUSE for years. Haven't used them for a while, not sure whether it still is. No problems with basic functionality including snapshots. I believe some RAID configurations were experimental for long

There you can see true democracy. Some of the same people are backing competing proposals. Not claiming that there were a single truth and give voters true choice. Remains to be seen whether their complicated voting system [1] comes up wit

Exactly. My immediate reaction was: A violation of HN submission guidelines. Linux is project of many contributors / companies. For sure Igalia is a valuable contributor and I would not doubt to recommend them for serious Linux work, b

Has it ever been a thing in most companies? I have seen definitely more bad code and negligance than serious, skillful attempts to write clean code. Which rules do you think are particularly outdated?

Interesting thread. However, for over a year, the "secure email provider" did not reply more than that the consultants are too overloaded to reply... The message you obviously refer to as just an educated guess by a forum user who

Copilot CLI (we get that at work) often uses slightly low-level and cryptic git commands. Never noticed that it would use --end-of-options though. Should check what it does with branch names starting with a dash. Of course that wouldn'

Like the von Neumann architecture. Your data can be misused as code. Don't see that we get rid of either command lines in text or von Neumann any time soon.

In Finland many news outlets had the same headline, but needed to correct it. It's the last big operator who closed their network. There are still a couple of smaller local operators that have not yet stopped. Finland traditionally had
