The site isn't really about dogs, it tracks a few dozen different topics that people consider difficult. It's not so much about any longstanding personal policy, but if your dog of…

I use the site mentioned in the article almost every time I want to watch a movie. Its easy to dismiss it in terms of "pampering" or being too soft, but there are people who have l…

Putting fundamental features of the language behind a price barrier at all will keep students and people who want to experiment with the language out of the ecosystem. This isn't a…

They've fixed the import / modules situation to a point where it's usable and much improved, and generics have been added. However, the issue this brings up about structs / types n…

Firefox is not based on the chromium codebase, it is older.

Isn't it sad that he has to type out his only messages to the world letter by letter, and he spends his time typing out the names of mega-brands? "...‘(son’s name) moechtest du mit…

I essentially paid my way through college by turning SMB's spreadsheets into CRUD webapps + some tiny reporting. There is a huge, huge market for this if you wanted to trade some o…

These types of programs have gone through a few iterations since the secure enclave was released, but they all share a fatal flaw, probably from the SE itself: You can only store k…

This is a bizarre analysis. Public legal risk is absolutely the last imaginable threat to us-east-1, short of aliens abducting it. The U.S. security apparatus depends on AWS and wo…

Took a little while to find the magic words in there: https://github.com/wimpysworld/quickemu/blob/af26f41440d63a0...

Strange how this implies that the end-all-be-all of VPNs is IPsec. I would've loved to hear their opinion on wireguard and this generation of mesh VPNs

I agree. Isn't a VPN a usecase where you'd like to authenticate yourself as little as possible? For comparison, mullvad accounts have no separate identification and authentication.…

I run it using docker, paired with a watchtower container that automatically updates it. For accessing it, I use tailscale so that I don't have to open ports or have any kind of ex…

Did you not even read the url, let alone the article? This is Edward Snowden's blog.
