Eh, it wasn't as much a jab against France or Macron in particular, as just an example of the general policy. Pretty much all of Europe (and US, and Canada) behave in a similar way…

Well, the EU could have put a ban on selling riot control gear to Putin's forces back in 2012 when he used it to suppress massive pro-democracy protests in Moscow, not in October o…

Maybe hcaptcha, I've never run into captcha hell with it, unlike Cloudflare and recaptcha. If those two decide you're a bot, you're done, better go change that IP and reset cookies…

> Originally developed by the Israeli company Mirabilis in 1996, the client was bought by AOL in 1998, and then by Mail.Ru Group (now VK) in 2010. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICQ…

All chat platforms (that I can remember) that were popular around that time used proprietary protocols, including ICQ. Everyone I knew preferred third-party clients to the official…

Not from Russia, but pretty close in all senses of the word. It was heavily used in my circles up to about 2010-2011, then started losing market share to other messengers (one¹ of …

Certificates are created regardless of whether you ask for them by using features like proxying traffic through CF. Just using them as a DNS service provider is enough for certs to…

Lots of people use CloudFlare purely as a registar and DNS hoster because they sell domains at cost. Domains are quite expensive already for what they are. This is enough to trigge…

I would personally avoid namecheap if you're not based in the US. Back at the beginning of 2022 they cut off all clients from Russia without prior notice, giving everybody a couple…

I checked two domains registered through Cloudflare about a week ago and both have 1-year certificates issued by Sectigo, valid until May 2025. Never enabled DDoS protection or any…

Xiaomi claims five years of security updates for upper range models that came out last year. Specifically I am thinking about Xiaomi 13T which a couple of my friends use. Their new…

Do they care? The mob will shout for a week or two and then turn their attention somewhere else. spez (the reddit chief) said something like that about their users, and he was abso…

LTSC IoT will get you to 2032, and something is likely to change by that date. Of course, if you absolutely insist on using a "genuine" license (even though we're taking about a co…

Getting your doors kicked in because you posted "disinformation" on the internet, or said something "unpatriotic" to a rando on the street and got reported to the cops. You won't h…

I like these kinds of statements, they let you know right off the bat that your time is better spent elsewhere. People who see this as normal will screw you over sooner or later in…

Most are documented by shellcheck. https://gist.github.com/nicerobot/53cee11ee0abbdc997661e65b3... But you don't really need to spend any time learning them, just plug shellcheck i…

Nothing can be done about variable names, but format inconsistencies can be autofixed with shfmt. I've been using it for years and it's been solid. https://github.com/mvdan/sh

In some ways current PHP has much stricter typing than TS as it's actually checked at runtime.

If you can get through this, I highly recommend it. https://www.linusakesson.net/programming/tty

I only really notice it when accidentally catting a really large file. Although I prefer kitty, any of these modern terminal emulators just rip through megabytes of text in less th…
