That's interesting. I haven't used fail2ban for a long time, but reaction is worth evaluating. Unfortunately, that post does not describe their full configuration. Maybe it's on pu…

After a cursory read of the PDF, my impression is that the methodology is sound, but the results are blown out of proportion. Of course, if the title was "Boko Haram's internal hea…

If you opened the OP link, you missed the section "Featured in The New York Times".

I also use OsmAnd~ for hiking, and even more for cycling. I tried CoMaps after a friend recommended it. In my experience, OsmAnd is much more powerful, and if you can tolerate its …

podman can work with kube files, which is the YAML format from Kubernetes. That's more "platform agnostic" than docker-compose. And it can be read as a documentation in the same wa…

Of course quality is subjective, but my own stats on AniDB show no decline. I've watch at least one anime produced every year from 1977 to now. For 2000-2025 I've watched 24 to 62 …

My father once received a letter from Algeria, with 3 words on the envelope : his first name, "Créteil" (the town where he lived, ≈100k inhabitants), and "France". Of course, in th…

Not too bad? A hidden procedure with ten clicks, which the user has to repeat for each web browser. And it may break at any time if the browser changes some details. Or if KDE chan…

There's one problem with arrays that I haven't seen mentioned here or by the OP: when inserting a key-value, the type of the key may change. For instance ["4" => "four"] === [4 => …

You can do that. Of course, PHP's native types are quite limited, but a phpdoc syntax should work with static analysis tools. For instance: /** @psalm-type MyobjType = object{mystr…

What is the open standard? As far as I know, the ISO standard for zip only specifies two compression methods: "store" (no compression) and "deflate". If I follow that, when I creat…
