Does anyone know what the nature of that proprietary information is?

Same sentiment here. It would actually be useful if the "time tracking" supported sizing and estimations but right now it's completely focused on precise timing which makes this counter-productive.

In the same vein as TA, nix-darwin[1] can be used to configure macOS applications and services. It's not exactly the same as NixOS because the whole system is not entirely managed by Nix but it gets you closer. There is also Ansible, C

Hi, thanks a lot for ZeroTier! I use it every day and it changed how I interact with my network of personal computers.

As a website it's trivial to serve different content to different users. Each page load can or cannot contain a compromised payload. And since the website also identifies the users it's also easy to target specific users. To reduc

It's a security stance. Without rotating the secrets automatically, it becomes more likely that somebody will share a secret. During a breach, if each service gets their own secrets, it becomes easier to trace the entrypoints and which

I was coming here to say that it looks a lot like ZeroTier. The main differentiator as far as I know is the support for SSO and MFA. With ZeroTier, the client connects to the network using a private shared key and then needs to be approved

Make sure to contribute GPU resources as the CPU ones aren't being used for C19 research. EDIT: I have heard that CPU is also getting C19 research but not exclusively. Here is a better link with more details: https://github.

- LessPass is a webpage that can be changed at any time and collect website, username and password triplets. This is quite a big issue because it can be used for targeted attacks. There is no way of detecting compromises without reading the

https://nixery.dev/ does some of this. `docker pull nixery.dev/shell/git/htop` and you get an image built on the fly with bash, git and htop in it. Each loaded in their individual layers. For a push approach,

I think the culprit is GitHub notifications. If you are not careful they will pull you in all sorts of directions. There are some days where I set myself to a task. Open GitHub. Quickly check the notifications because the blue dot grabs my

A sample of 3 people is not representative of all the customers. This article is pushing for sensationalism. Switching bank accounts in the UK is dead easy. Open the new bank account, give them your old bank account reference and they do al

One thing I did is to use Twillio to get a mobile phone number (5.-/mo) and forward the SMS to email or whatever. It works pretty well and was easy to setup. One big advantage is that number-porting attacks are much harder to pull-off

Remember when Google was good? One of the main selling point when they introduced ads was that they would be clearly marked as such. The ads were on the side so that they couldn't be confused with the search results. This was sold in c

Building on top of other people's infrastructure is expensive. Each node can disappear at any time and is really hard to predict. To compensate for that you will need to upload your data to more nodes. You have to deal with backward an

That's a great advice. Another one is to only look at memory allocations. Usually when there is a lot of allocations, a lot of data is being handled. This gives a bit of a different perspective where you start thinking of folding chunk

Another one is when the user puts the password manager on the same phone that receives the 2nd factor by SMS or in an OTP app. Now all the data is available and unlocked at the same time on the same device again. Or when the user puts the O

Before going all conspiracy, most likely it's due to a poorly-implemented WiFi-enabled widget. There are devices that act as AP like the chromecast. This is then used by a smartphone app to connect and configure the device. I don'

Some more practical tips: Install the `hub` CLI[1]. Being able to fork, open and checkout pull-requests directly from the command-line reduced a lot of friction that I had. Install the `h` tool[2] to automatically checkout repos in a fixed

This looks like a cool product if both people have a secondary screen. A similar but much more low-key solution that I love using is tmate[1]. Tmate is a tmux session that can be shared over SSH. It's super easy to install and anyone w

This is one aspect that is not often talked about. If Gecko was easier to build on top of, it would get more adoption in other markets and promote the variety of engines that we sorely need. Mozilla doesn't only win by getting more Fir

It depends on where you place things on the moral scale. For example for the cow to lactate, it needs to be inseminated. Every 4 years I think. When the calf is born it's taken away from the mother. Does a cow mother suffer emotionally
