I would probably document, format and rebuild. Rotate secrets and inform anyone whose data might have been impacted. Assume they compromised everything they would have access to by running code on the server.

Can you actually ask an LLM if content is AI-generated? Surely that wouldn't work reliably at all?

I’ve slowly grown to realize there’s some software you just don’t need to update. A static site generator (almost certainly) won’t have security issues as long as you control the input and the output is just a bunch of static files. Unless

As an aside.. I went down a mini-rabbit hole learning about the LAN Party House, read your website and about Sandstorm[0] and how that ended up with you at Cloudflare leading Workers. That’s a really cool and honestly inspirational path. Wo

Can third party apps use this to speed up their use of camera hardware too?

This looks really interesting, but I’m wondering what this adds that someone can’t already do with Typst+a resume template. The basic-resume template already abstracts enough that you only need to care about content rather than formatting:

I’m far from a UX designer but whenever I use something with toasts I feel like I don’t notice them pop up in my periphery. I think it would be better if the confirmation for an action I did just showed up wherever I performed that action (

That’s really reasonable then (I guess apart from any disagreements with the authors views). Omarchy isn’t just a post installation script, they have the entire thing bundled as an ISO. So I can see why an in-kind sponsorship of a CDN makes

Omarchy is the passion project of a really wealthy person and is backed by his profitable business. What does ‘sponsoring Omarchy’ mean? Like.. where does that money go?

I worked at an org which has a ‘modern’ NodeJS+React codebase and an ancient legacy Django app on Python 2.7 which is nearing 15 years old. I was worried that the old codebase would be a pain to work on. It was the complete other way around

Racket is a fun language. My university uses the bundled teaching languages for first year CS courses. Some people really hate it, and others silently like it.

Maybe my use case is abnormal, but I allocate the majority of my resources to a primary VM where I run everything, including containers, etc. but by running Proxmox now I can backup my entire server and even transfer it across the network.

This would be even cooler if there was some heuristic to prefer codes based off of the titles somehow. Like if math-5/limits could somehow get the code M5-LM. I wonder if this is even possible to implement consistently at all. Sounds l

I just did something similar last week: https://varun.ch/posts/elective-list/ it’s almost funny how similar the scraping code ends up looking for these kinds of things

Forgive my ignorance, but why don’t game developers put more effort into limiting the amount of data accessible to the client (restricting it only to what’s reasonably necessary)? For example, couldn’t more movement physics be validated or
