I don’t think it’s overhyped, at least I’ve never heard anyone hyping it up so much. I would be happy to recommend you other books if you want :)

I also don’t think it’s a big deal if you didn’t like the book. I don’t think even Knuth himself would be upset, really.

Sounds like atop is exactly what you need.

False. Everyone can opt out of Facebook.

I didn’t use yaml much while it was gaining popularity, and therefore didn’t pay much attention. But this article really made me pay attention and now I distrust anything that uses yaml in any capacity.

yes, calling it a heist specifically is extremely colourful in the wrong way

wait, you’re actually using encrypted email? Is it for work or you use it with friends/family too?

I’ve never received an encrypted email in my entire life.

One of the best TV sci fi franchises ever.

I can’t imagine how normal people use any software at all. When something doesn’t work for me, often I can figure out what could’ve gone wrong. For instance, there might be bug in the JavaScript form handler, and I can just bypass it. Or an app doesn’t invalidate its cache properly, so I just need to flush it manually.

One problem with that is that you will end up with two EFI partitions. This is not supported very well by anything, really, so you will run the risk of Windows messing with the wrong partition anyway.

I’ve updated my comment.

I switched to Proton from Express when the latter was bought out by Kape.

Proton works perfectly so far for me. Their desktop software was a bit meh, but they’ve since improved it. Otherwise I have no notes.

Edit: it appears the PWA support in Firefox is not ideal, see responses to this comment.

Chromium is not an offshoot of Chrome, it’s more of a precursor to Chrome, and it is completely controlled by Google. As such, it will also drop support for extensions that do not support Manifest v3.

If you want to enable PWA support in Firefox, it looks like this is possible (however the experience doesn’t seem to be great, see responses to this comment): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Guides/Installing

For other browser suggestions see, e.g. https://www.xda-developers.com/4-browsers-manifest-v2-ublock-origin/

If you wanted to support all possible drivers, you would basically need to rewrite the entire kernel. You could make one specific anticheat work by supporting its specific calls, but this will take a lot of work, and will probably be broken with the first ever update.

In the past there were projects that supported specific types of drivers, such as ndiswrapper, but that had a very limited scope.

Nice article!

You seem to be missing the word “by” in the table introducing threat T04. Also, the threat summary table uses ✅ and ❌ in a way that was counterintuitive to me: initially I thought ✅ meant the encryption approach protects against the threat.

A bigger issue IMO is how you describe email encryption in transit as a matter of fact, but according to Google transparency report[1] there are still domains that do not support in transit encryption, and, what’s worse, when you send an email you can’t tell if it will be encrypted or not.

Awesome! Will definitely check it out. In case you haven’t seen it, here’s a nice collection of tips for indie game devs: https://develop.games

(I realize this reads as a bot comment, lol, but that’s a genuine tip, and that website isn’t even monetised as far as I know).

DCSS[1] would alone probably take five years to master.

Dwarf Fortress (although I haven’t really played it myself yet).

And, of course, Factorio, that with existing mods has probably enough content for the rest of my life.
