In the Apple ecosystem, passkeys are stored in your iCloud, and access to the passkeys is device bound. So if I generate a passkey on a MacBook, I can then use it from my iPhone as…

It takes very little money to rent massive botnet capacity to perform crippling DDOS attacks. Unfortunately there are only very few CDNs capable of absorbing that kind of attack.

No, lack of maintainers and maintenance on Xorg would have made Linux desktop unviable altogether. High DPI and fractional scaling are very badly supported on Xorg, and architectur…

Odd that there's no link to the retracted article. Thread on Arstechnica forum: https://arstechnica.com/civis/threads/editor%E2%80%99s-note-... The retracted article: https://web.a…

I used https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat on a family member's new Win11 install and it actually works reasonably snappy. I wouldn't be want to caught dead with it, but I coul…

I haven't particularly kept up with RFKs brand of MAGA craziness, but all European countries have different childhood vaccination schedules, with some overlap, see here: https://va…

I'm not saying that Kubernetes isn't complex, I'm saying it's a fallacy to claim that the Hashicorp stack in any way manages to be less complex in practice. All of these moving par…

Docker is not for production. Nomad at scale in practice needs a lot of load-bearing Bash scripts around it: for managing certs, for external DNS, you need Consul for service disco…

> Also this will completely disable any new phone OS' being developed. Why would anyone bother when you can't verify your wallet to do anything online. This already the case today,…

In the Netherlands we have 'focus cameras' now that specifically detect smartphone use while driving, with hefty fines of €430. These cameras are mobile as well, so they get placed…

It's not like the browsers can just switch to some better maintained XSLT library. There aren't any. There are about 1.5 closed-source XSLT 3 implementations, Altova and Saxonica. …

A submarine is a boat and boats sail.

"Would Europe ever hand over control of its national power grids to foreign companies bound by non-European law? Would we trust a foreign supplier’s guarantee for 99.999% uptime (w…

macOS does ask you if you want to allow a program to access your files in $HOME. Not sure if it's a perfect solution, but still, it's something. As a more additive approach than ju…

I agree that sooner or later your SSH port will end up on Shodan anyway. Putting SSH behind a Wireguard VPN solves this completely.

This distinction is a technicality, given the The Hague Invasion Act signed into law by G.W. Bush. Or to use your example, would a hypothetical attack on the UN building in New Yor…

'Data stays in EU' is not true: the US CLOUD act means that American law enforcement and intelligence agencies can and do access data stored in data centers operated by American co…

The rest of the article was probably generated by Claude too, given the wishy-washy both-sideist utterly uncontroversial non-conclusion.

Many important plugins are only in the official marketplace, and it's not allowed to use this marketplace from open source builds. The practical effect is that open builds like VSC…

That confused question was asked by representative Richard Hudson, R-NC.

UPNP/DLNA is supported on many devices, especially audio-related devices, though maddeningly not so much on desktop OSes.
