    For Knuth's sake: The GDPR is NOT about cookies! The older 'cookie directive' is also NOT about cookies! They're about a third party storing their data on your computer, or storing…

    Switched from Gmail to Fastmail about 10 years ago. 2-3 spam emails slip through every week, and sometimes a false positive happens when I sign up for something new. I don't see th…

    Pretty sure Zed won't let me pay for an editor without any "sign in" or LLM features?

    The 'no to tracking' cookie doesn't need to be identifiable in any way.

    Luckily, GDPR isn't about cookies, it's about processing personal information. Doesn't matter if you use cookies, localstorage, or carrier pigeon. The older EU 'cookie directive' o…

    This will give more resources to tenants that schedule more jobs. If tenant A schedules 99 jobs and tenant B schedules 1 job, a "fair" algorithm would pick B's job either first or …

    I'm assuming they disallow bot use in their TOS. So they can probably offer unlimited searches that you run yourself by typing in the terms.

    Spam texts are not really a thing here in Norway, either. I do get three to four phonecalls from spoofed UK numbers every month. I havn't picked up for a year or so, but last time …

    It's actually less of a risk than I thought, because the configuration is on your local install of KeePass, not in the database file. If an attacker can modify your local install, …

    As I understand it, if you modify the xml, Keepass will silently export entries in the database once you load it (by providing the password). Keepass will (by default) not ask for …

    You can approximate something by defining the valid TokenTable keys as an enum, and using a mapped type for the actual TokenTable type. There's some boilerplate in the definition, …

    Really not a lawyer, and not in the US, so not sure I understand the 'work for hire'. But 'work for hire' requires some sort of employment contract, surely? And the pay was part of…

    An Armbanduhr is a wrist watch, not just a watch. I'm sure the Germans often shorten to it 'uhr', just like the English do. Capital is short for capital city. Vacuum is also short …

    Also, "consent" has a specific meaning in GDPR, see article 4(11) [0]: > Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the da…

    I've never actually used these, I just knew they existed. I found them via DuckDuckGo, in the github repository of qBittorrent. They have a step-by-step guide for using them, witho…

    As I understand it, you can plug in the qt pretty printers from https://invent.kde.org/kdevelop/kdevelop/-/tree/master/plugi...

    It's a fine article, but not a fine introduction. I read more as a list of all the things the author didn't understand (or pretended not to understand), because they couldn't descr…

    Professors could change the numbers in the questions every year, without really changing the questions. And then give the answers after the homework was handed in, if they want to …

    This sort of regulation is not new when it comes to health data. I'm actually surprised storing medical data outside the country was legal in France at any point, I don't think it …

    I clicked around a bit trying to find out who creates and runs Session. And of course it's built by someone pushing a new crypto currency. That made me really really sad.

    Fastmail handles my email anyway. So there's no extra risk in having them manage som extra email aliases.

    Storing an IP address in RAM until you have sent the response is _obviously_ a technically necessary use of personal data. But who knows what else google does? The "privacy info" f…
