Why don't you go ahead and give birth then, tell us all about your experience.

This looks fantastic. I would sponsor for AWS IAM auth.

I wasted my time trying podman and switched to colima. It's the only usable free alternative that's a true drop-in replacement for docker.

I do the same as the person you're responding to. There is no '+' in my email, I just create random strings @mydomain. It's impossible for a scammer to know they all go to one inbo…

It may partially be because of vendor lock-in, but I think the real reason is security. For example with Apple's Secure Enclave hardware, you give secret-generation responsibility …

pip is so easy, but unfortunately i've found that if you add package signatures to requirements.txt, pip chokes on it when installing it later. And subdependencies aren't always na…

I'm seeing all sorts of negative takes on this. But I read one interesting take on reddit from a father of 2 kids with DMD that had a very specific and logical reason for supportin…

I think the point is that building any kind of tool to enable this is surface area for an attack. The design choice is to remove any possibility of that happening at all.

In this day and age, why does Thunderbird still ask for my password to store locally instead of using a standard OAuth flow? Every time I consider using Thunderbird, I just can't b…

This has never happened in the United States, and every expert out there says there is no sign of any kind of effort or legislation to do so. Involuntarily losing access to old car…

There's a gigantic difference. You stare at a handheld device when typing. When you're driving you need to feel what you're touching, otherwise you have to take your eyes off the r…

Are you against 2fa, or against being compelled to use it? Why?

Yet.

Use 1Password. They allow users to connect multiple accounts at once (personal + work + etc), which the Bitwarden devs have expressed confusion over for the last few years. 1Passwo…

I would think the "half-truths" refer to the difference between the content in the twitter files vs taibbi's and weiss's reporting of it. The FBI emailed twitter safety to report v…

Which news organizations were suspended?

I know, I've read it, and I didn't see anything you're describing. Which part of it are you referring to?

I did, and I read no such thing.

I keep reading statements like this saying that the government pressured twitter to censor speech, but never really describing exactly what happened. Can you point me to the place …

He admitted he secretly donated an equal amount to republicans: https://gizmodo.com/ftx-sam-bankman-fried-sbf-secret-donatio... . They have his money and don't need him anymore.

You know which modules I'm not using for my critical projects? Ones whose maintainers refuse to enable 2fa. We already know how supply chain security problems have plagued npm and …

I found that I also had terrible problems when using any bluetooth headset in voice mode on zoom calls along with MX keys. The entire computer would stutter, keys would lag, the mo…

You can also base62-encode the UUID's underlying integer and you get a short, URL-friendly identifier, while maintaining the power and uniformity of UUID. The claim with nanoID is …

This is enlightening, I didn’t know the bar was so high to contribute to python. But imagine a scenario where any unverified bot could spam the python devs with small or malicious …
