Which _Israeli_ companies were used for Stuxnet or the 2024 pager attack? NSO is not the same as the company from the article since it's explicitly a cyber company.

I haven't used the devtools protocol of Firefox but CDP is one of the worst protocols I had to work with. Everything is "experimental", inconsistencies between different domains, m…

> systemd is a suite of basic building blocks for a Linux system. You can always use a simpler init system if you want

This is absolutely not enough against targeted attacks. It will be harder to detect you but once they do, Firefox (which Tor is based on) is a lot more vulnerable than Chrome. Same…

I think most people focus on bringing back far-right people to the platform, making the application inaccessible to logged out users and the failed attempts at Twitter Premium or w…

My office is half an hour by foot from my house and yet I prefer to work from home exactly for this reason. Maybe in America where the commute can become ridiculous quickly it's a …

I don't think the person was important but the employer might. It seems to be IBM which is not surprising I guess, although I'd hoped that RedHat would influence how they work with…

Meson generates Ninja files. At first, you were supposed to run ninja after Meson yourself but modern Meson support meson compile which calls ninja under the hood

I don't remember all of the times I've encountered it but a couple of examples I remember are rustup with its 700 lines of shell script (although you can install rust normally of c…

Does someone have a comparison between common server ssds and consumer ssds? I wonder if the speed is equal or not

Up until now, I've used Markdown for my blog posts but recently I've wanted to make more complicated pages. I'm not sure yet what to do, should I write partly in Markdown and partl…

You are always welcome to use the opportunity and start a competing service in a fraction of the cost. Mastodon is indeed inefficient but you also pay a lot for peace of mind.

I'm using Firefox but if you are that paranoid you should be using Chrome. Firefox is a child play compared to Chrome in term of security (but not privacy).

As always, it's important to remember that people choice of messaging depends on network effect more than anything else. But even without it, they are both E2E encrypted. Of course…
