I have a similar opinion but I think Java's model with maven and friends hits the sweet spot: - Packages are always namespaced, so typosquating is harder - Registries like Sonatype require you to validate your domain -…
Same. I was surprised that both Fira Code and Fira Mono were options, that was a bit cheeky.

I recall Disk Knight (https://www.lucadamico.dev/papers/malware_analysis/DiskKnigh...) working on Windows XP I don't remember the whole details, but I believe it installed an autorun.inf file on all USB drives so that…

One of the issues I have with "languages that don't suck anymore" is that, even after the language gets all the cool new features, you'll still end up having to use some libraries targeting old versions. So you end up…
I think you just need the Wohnungsgeberbestätigung from the landlord and fill the registration paperwork at the Bürgeramt (which, depending on your city, might be a bit hard to get an appointment), you might also need…

It's interesting to see PornHub in there, but not the other Aylo (former MindGeek) properties (YouPorn, RedTube...). I wonder if they could in theory bypass the DSA by just breaking PH into smaller services and hope for…

From what I can tell, this is the first version without a composite video output, correct? It's a bit of a shame. What are the alternatives for someone who needs a computer connected to an old CRT TV? Are there other…

I think it's only popular in the scala ecosystem, but I find HOCON to be a pretty nice superset.
FWIW, you can now install PWA apps with Firefox. The implementation is not as polished as chrome, though.

This. I was recently backing up some stuff from an old Mac OS 8 machine and it was amazing how snappy a lot of things feel. But if something is not on RAM you can clearly notice it.
