This is the elephant in the room regarding the big "digital sovereignty" talks in the EU. For the moment in the EU institutions the focus is mostly at the post-acceptance stage that everything must eventually migrate…
looks like LLMs aren't mature enough yet to play long-game xz-style attacks without detection... Scary stuff though :( These supply chain attacks are getting really wild
ah sorry, I thought you wanted a delivery notification when you are sending an email via your own SMTP server (i.e. when thunderbird is configured to use your own outbound SMTP gateway)
Well I don't know if you wrote this in a sarcastic way or not, but when you write a new message in Thunderbird just turn on `Options -> Delivery Status Notification` and your mail server will email you back with a…
As my main desktop computers I've been using Fedora and Windows (for gaming only) virtualised on top of a single proxmox host with 2 GPUs passed through for more than 10 years... Upgraded all the way to latest versions…
I think people like using makefile as a simple task runner because it's pretty much ubiquitous and also a kind of auto-descriptive standard. Interactive shells usually do autocompletion on makefile targets so it's easy…
actually the telescope devops guys were hiring a couple years ago on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38101085 :-D
yes, it's my biggest worry too. At least with keepassDX on android there is no internet access permission needed by default, but if a compromised update suddenly required it I don't know if Android would prompt about it…
Syncthing on at least one server with zfs or btrfs snapshots
Just use syncthing ...
Nebula is great! From what I found after testing other solutions (headscale, netbird, netmaker) It's also the only completely open source mesh vpn that can be configured with a highly available control plane (just run…
There's actually an annual conference dedicated to Spreadsheet risks, they have lots of Excel horror stories on their website: https://eusprig.org/research-info/horror-stories/
It was all magic to me until one day I finally took the time to look at git internals. You can build a valid git repo with simple unix shell commands, and that really helped me to understand the magic behind the git…
I'm still self hosting after more than 15 years and I think what matters most is the reputation of your IP address, so it can be hit and miss depending on where you host your mail server...
with gmail you can do: foo+anything => redirected to foo foo.something => redirected to foosomething (so . is not the same as +) The + isn't always accepted in dumb email checks though, and spammers know about it...
I still run my own email system (postfix/dovecot for imap), mostly for one reason: the virtual username function of postfix: I configured postfix with: recipient_delimiter = . which gives me unlimited dynamic virtual…
Wow! Thanks for that comment, I have a Dell U3818DW with a KVM switch and I didn't know you could control it with DDC commands! So for linux (e.g. fedora): dnf install ddcutil ddcutil capabilities -d 1 # show the…
I stopped for 6 months a few years ago when I was on a sabbatical, no problem. I still need a morning coffee to feel awake even on holiday though!
I've been taking ~50mg modafinil 5 times a week for years. Last batch I bought was 2 years ago on the grey market (an online indian pharmacy) in 200mg pills form (so I divide them in 4 for a daily dose). I don't take…
