What you're suggesting could get OP in trouble if caught. Not sure it's worth it, but then again I'm not that into cars.

That's why teams behind those extensions sometimes build a cloud for you.

Sounds like we need to change the law to make privacy absolute, which of course will prevent legitimate crime investigations. We can't have it both ways here.

E2E apps and fully encrypted phones prevent the police from executing legitimate search warrants. This has never been the case with traditional communication mechanisms, e.g. phone…

Thank you for posting and reminding us that multiple 2FA methods are a good backup plan with Google. I just added: - SMS - Authenticator app (Authy, of course) - Generated backup c…

Tech eats the world. When tech goes down, its competitors go bankrupt.

Underwater welders make a lot. It's risky work, but you get to do pro level diving (the risky part) and welding metal at something like 3000 degrees...while under water. Might also…

C++ stage1 compiler is a magic binary blob :)

"Tweet your comments", oh sweet irony.

Automatic failover within 60 seconds.

RDS just has a button for multi-AZ primaries. No complexity or microservices.

A multi-az deployment is a checkbox in most AWS services, e.g. ASGs, RDS, load balancers, etc. Someone didn't check that box because they didn't know about it, there isn't much com…

Can the registrars do this for me? I have no idea what half of those records do.

Haha i was just thinking that, maybe he didn't pass? :)

These solutions don't answer any of the fundamental problems with Google: - who pays for the service (ads? users pay? Average user will never use a paid service if a free one is av…

3 weeks PTO threw me off, I thought unlimited was pretty standard? Maybe I live in a bubble :)

This is a pretty big violation of privacy, especially for people who's criminal records have been expunged. It could satisfy some people's curiosity or if they are a lawyer, they c…

That's not true. Court records used to be accessible in person only. You would have to be motivated to find anything. This puts everyone's past and often forgotten transgressions o…

Isn't there laws protecting people against this? Expunged record should not be visible, right?

Are you certain? I thought threads are much more lightweight and also access memory faster because there is no CoW overhead (mutexes permitting). E.g. why nginx is much faster and …

I'm just sad my stock portfolio took a dive. I started to invest into the market for the first time during the pandemic (thanks to RH). Not sure what I learned so far.

If the salt is stored with the file, how is this safe against a brute force attack against the low entropy password?

Let's make one. A universal format could help with bias and resume anxiety.

Very cool write-up. Email got pretty complicated, this helps.

Curious if this can help with hardware backdoors. This probably uses OS APIs which a sophisticated spyware would maybe work around?
