I mean... Yeah, it's a curated set of dotfiles that one guy spent a while tuning to his liking. I don't use it, but I figure it's just a matter of most people being too lazy to polish up their own equivalent, so they'll…
The problem is there are many middleboxes that monitor port 443 and will drop any traffic that they can't decode as TLS (which in this case means TLS 1.2 or below). The choice was between masking traffic as an earlier…
I don't know, I don't think it's really a huge waste of time considering I just read the entire comment thread in a handful of minutes. And beyond that, failing to comply with RFC requirements is the bug here -- a…
The ruling itself even says that every case has to be taken in context, and that particular one was a known felon who has been accused of a crime fleeing in a vehicle. As a matter of fact, if you look at the decision…
Worth mentioning this isn't a port of the entire system, more a reimplementation that lacks MANY features of the real System 7
I'm still bitter that they never refunded me for my canceled pre-order, despite promising to at the time. It's been years and I never got any money back (or a phone, for that matter). I consider Purism to be an…
I've actually heard people argue against having lights on signage for this exact reason: people shouldn't be reliant on lights that may or may not work to modulate their behavior when driving. They had been referring…
Where are you seeing devices without Bootguard fused? I'd be very curious to get my hands on some of those...

Headline is a little misleading imo -- the vulnerability isn't in Notepad++ itself as much as its installer. Current users, I imagine, don't have anything to worry about.
Buy your own DOCSIS modem, opt out of renting theirs. It'll pay for itself after a few billing cycles (the modem rental fee is $15 per month)

I think it's fair to say the majority of people don't really care about any of those things as much as having a system that just works -- which was part of their whole argument regarding why package maintainers love it…
Pretty sure it's entirely possible to find out what someone has said in a major publication about a major figure, actually.
What is with people treating LLMs like a search engine? All of this could have been avoided by just using Google.
There's something to be said for groups like this one and Standard eBooks (mentioned elsewhere in this thread) doing some work to clean up and beautify public domain books like the ones in Project Gutenberg. Even…
There are much more long-lived distros still around as well... But really, I meant more the danger of having the distro die without any clear plan for transition. In Funtoo's case it was less a matter of how long it…
This sort of situation is why I've been hesitant to try smaller Linux distros in the past, especially for daily drivers or any sort of long term use. The allure of innovative features and modernity tends to be weighed…
It's wild to think that people would use the same sort of trick you used to use to revive a dead Xbox to charge their car faster...
Unless you need a refund. Then you'll be waiting for literal years!
I don't think that they're referring to this specific phrase. I had no idea that it has this specific meaning, and I would guess most consumers don't, either. If it was clickbait, it was very bad as clickbait.
I wonder if this one is using pirated software, too? https://nicole.express/2023/book-it.html
Part of it is the explicitness mandated by the language (i.e. when dealing with Optionals or Results, you have to deal with both cases or explicitly state which you expect as an invariant). There's also curious (imo)…
> insinuating laziness baselessly > intentionally designed to yield hard to read code I think if you assume that syntax you find odd/difficult was intended to confound you, I can safely make assumptions of my own.
