I still remember the mass migration to reddit. Digg had an old website that didn’t scale to their userbase. They deployed a new site, and everyone hated the design. They couldn’t continue on the old website because it would crash and burn.
The important part is that Kevin, Alex and all of Digg were quite open and honest about the situation. At no point were they being jerks. They just couldn’t keep manage the technical hurdles.
OMG Hypnotoad HTPC is so much better! Why didn’t I thnnk of that?
Server (big iron): Bender
Desktop (main character): Fry
Laptop (for accounting): Hermes
Netbook (small and dumb): Nibbler
Phone (held to my head): BrainSlug
HTPC (one big viewport): Leela
I have a single Pikachu sticker that says “ピカチュズキ” (Pikachuzuki) on my Suzuki. It throws people off because I’m not Japanese.
$250 is a dumb denomination that only US would do.
1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 ,100 is followed by 200, 500, 1000.
JFC every measurement of everything in that country gets decided by someone who flunked in maths.
Changing U.S. law would be necessary to allow living people to appear on currency.
Or he could, ya know, die.
It would produce something completely different every time.
You either need to be indistinguishable from everyone else, or indistinguishable from your last page load.
Just randomly inserting fake fonts, changing your screen resolution by a few pixels, changing the variant of English between US, Canada, UK and Australia. Rendering text and images with unnoticeable random dither in the subpixel hinting. That sort of stuff.
Click on all the ads and install all the malware. That will teach them.
Microg pairs best with LineageOS. I’ve done both and I prefer the GrapheneOS sandbox. It actually passes safetynet at the moment.
Just don’t expect RCS messages or NFC payments to work on either.
I’ve configured my home wifi to capture all DNS regardless of its intended recipient. It’s unencrypted so it’s possible.
I also use encrypted DNS on my phone.
There’s probably a few things you can do live on a call.
I always wanted to try passing a common function through a minifier then a beautifier. Show them the code with unhelpful variable names, and ask them what name they would give the function.
A good programmer would be able to identify a string compare function or an IP bitmask eval function pretty quickly.
I’ve seen XML parsers that will convert element content from strings to native types by default. So “0” becomes an int, “true” becomes a boolean, and “null” becomes an actual null. I had to take extra steps to keep everything as a string unless explicitly told not to.
JSON does not have this problem, BTW.
The single biggest attack vector for SSH is IPv4. Disable it and 99% of issues go away.
HellDivers 2 runs like a dream. It plays because it’s not PvP.
The problem with every PvP game is that they refuse to allow players online unless they have kernel-level anticheat. That’s a dealbreaker, and nobody will negotiate on it.
I really struggle to process voices, but I hear absolutely everything.
Someone talking to me can get completely drowned out by a 15KHz hum of an electronic device, the acoustics of a room or a TV in the background.
Yet, I ask them if they are having trouble hearing me over all the noise. They usually reply “wharlt noise?” If it’s a high-pitch hum, they won’t acknowledge the noise even if I show them on a spectral analyser.
I’ve used this. The only annoyance is that all the on-screen timestamps remain in UTC because JS has no idea what timesone you’re in.
I get that TZ provides a piece of the fingerprint puzzle, but damn it feels excessive.
So, manifest v3 was all about preventing Google’s competitors from tracking you so that Google could forge ahead.
Well… shit. My company just sold my department to another company. The phrase they use in the office is “a Microsoft shop”. We’re talking Windows, Teams, Azure and O365.
The transition is going to be shit. After the transition is over, it will be shit.
I might just operate my workflow entirely out of WSL2 out of spite.
If making the PRNG on your CPU predictable can compromise your whole system, then your kernel is not doing its job.
