Getting into any kind of online discussion with the "$X is khamass" crowd is generally futile.
I'm working on a news analysis project where I'll have to identify articles that speak about the same event. For now, I think it'll be based on date + "asking an LLM", but you probably came up with something better. How…

There was a report posted on HN months ago showing the proportion of fraudulent vs legitimate activities on Tor vs non-Tor across a pool of websites. Tor users were (slightly, IIRC) more likely to be malicious, but they…
The paragraph starting with "it would be a shame..." has their entire point laid out in simple, unambiguous terms. There's no mention of human nature or calls to not worry.

I'm trying to find a good project to work on to start learning QGIS, and what you described sounds interesting. Would you happen to have a write-up of this?
Dang, you're a model for my own communication style, a source of indirect advice for a project that I'm building (one day I'll be ready to reach out to you for direct advice), and someone I see as an example of a good…
Thanks for the notes on Notes! As I said, it's way out of my wheelhouse, but I'm planning on spending some time in the next months on trying to merge a decrypted backup of old iOS Signal chat history into the decrypted…
Re keychain, you're probably aware of it, but https://github.com/ptoomey3/Keychain-Dumper/ is very thorough in extracting keychain data (including data that one would expect to no longer be in there).
Not my area at all, but reverse-engineering file formats sounds really interesting. Do you have a blog by any chance?
For those who are going through the thread finding new tools: pandas-profiling[0] is a library for automatic EDA (which bamboolib[1], mentioned elsewhere, also does). [0]:…

Probably little to no effect, but I'd hope it's slightly more effective than just tweeting a hashtag (which is arguable simpler than my "simplest" suggestion) because it will actually pierce the techie anti-privacy…

Would you be able to list some of the negative developments you expect from GitLab going forward? For example, I know they are reducing support for Free Tier on their managed instance…
