I use Nix for that all of the time. My workflow is usually like this: * upstream has a bug. * find and fix the bug, send a PR. * update the Nix code to build with either the PR branch as the source, or the PR diff as a patch. What's mi

Wouldn't you expect the number of murders to go down if there are more activists united in one region? To paint a clearer picture you would have to look at the distribution of both murders and new activists. I bet there are more online

Interesting. Is the cache shared between all the websites that install this product? What happens to a HTTP request to a browser whenever they close their tab, is it retried on another browser?

How stable is the CDN when the each node lifetime is 5 minutes? The likelihood of an ongoing request being cut off is fairly high. Nodes are also constantly in syncing state I assume.

You might have paid the TV second hand, and not be aware of the theft. What recourse do you have then? You're out of pocket, the seller might not be reachable anymore, and you have no proof of purchase.

iCloud is not P2P encrypted so it's likely that they already do. They can do it without your knowledge or having to push a software update.

I bet that we will see insurance companies emerge in the market. Contracts will send a portion of the transaction to an insurance company. The insurance company would mandate "layers" to validate the contract. Users can then claim

It would have been cool if they were using osmosis to pull the water back up the mountains.

This is Microsoft's version of the WiFi captive portal. For the attack to work, the attacker needs to control the network, and also exploit a hole in the host browsers. I remember Apple having to fix Safari a few years back, related to

How is this newsworthy? This channel has 50k subscribers. This is nothing in YouTube subscriber numbers.

Both tools can be used to create cloud resources and configure machines but fundamentally they are very different. Ansible is a list of actions that you apply linearly. Each action might be a noop if it already exists. Terraform is a tree o

How much does it cost to setup and Ireland+Bermuda combo? I suppose the overhead is not worth it for small companies.

One way is to use this project: https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators It's just a small wrapper but it shows you most of the targets available.

That's good news. Some services like https://super.so/ (which is brilliant) were already using unofficial APIs.

A large part of the stability can be attributed to sandboxing. This is what prevents apps from gaining unprivileged access and destabilizing the system. This is the time where relatives will call you. What you don't see, is all the app

Ads are an attack on our attention. When I go to a website, I decide to direct my attention to this website, because I believe it will offer something of interest to me. Obviously things don't come for free, somebody has to pay for it,

It's not that one-sided. On AWS, you have to go hunt to find the pricing for everything. On GCP, it's right next to the instance that you're starting. The GCP dashboard also provides recommendations to down-size VMs if they a

I haven't technically validated it, but it looks like this is also the case for the Matrix protocol. If a user is in a public room, then their presence gets encoded as part of the message history. If the room is fully public, anybody c

A better strategy would be to pretend to be in favor of FLoC until 3rd-party cookies are all eliminated. Since the FLoC ID is generated on the client side, it then becomes super easy to return fake ones to the website. :-D

Gerrit is using Git as a NoSql database. All the users, projects, reviews, ... are stored in Git repositories[1]. One of the main advantage of this approach is that replication becomes trivial, it's just a matter of running `git fetch`

I find it fascinating the level of assurance that this post has. Being able to remotely diagnose somebody, based on a few social media posts, seems a really useful skill to have! That being said, people that follow their own convictions, to

If those distros are paranoid about the security implications of user namespaces, then they would certainly apply that reasoning to user chroot.

Did anybody experiment using Twillio (or similar) to receive 2FA SMS? There are a few service that I use that mandate or only provide SMS as a 2FA. Using Twillio seems rather ideal since they have stricter control to porting numbers. The me

It's just as toxic as people seeing *ism everywhere. They create an atmosphere of suspicion that is not conducive to free thinking. Unfortunately in big groups you will have both of those types and HR is not good at managing finer-grai

It depends what "easy" means. Go is a language that has very few surprises. As a beginner, it takes a while to figure out good goroutine design patterns. And you get bit by append to slice copies a few times. And it takes a bit of

I respect the sentiment of starting from scratch to get rid of technical debt. The protocol is not very different than HTTP/0.9, with hindsight applied. That being said, the protocol interaction model is essentially the same as HTTP. T

Some people don't care and necro old threads, just to get the attention. They assume that it's worth pinging all the people involved in that thread, just in case somebody might know about their vaguely-relevant issue. After a whil

Another issue not mentioned by the author is what happens if the Yubikey is lost or breaks. The story around this type of event is sort of ignored and not understood properly. AFAIK it's not possible to duplicate a key (by design), mea
