Glad I deleted my keybase account several weeks ago...

Having being a `screen` user for over two decades, migrating to tmux has been a pain. A week ago, however I discovered a wrapper called `byobu` (1) which really helps, and controls…

Luxembourg will make public transportation free for everyone in the whole country next summer. That's a great step forward.

I didn't renew my Dyn subscrition a few months ago, considering they had increased their pricing model and offered nothing new. And being owned by "evil" Oracle didn't help. Today …

You could also "sign" using a random figure, not your real signature, after all. No? Nothing prevents you to do so, legally speaking.

I still love all those games, and play them from time to time using ScummVM [1], which I installed on my PC and Mac. Back at the time, I bought them in boxed editions and was so th…

Indeed. On sites I have to register but know I won't go frequently I enter a random password I don't even write down, relying on the Forgot password feature if I ever need to come …

Nice project, but why are all hardware guys designing projects without ANY security? Page 14, the guide explains the connection to the modem is possible with Telnet with no passwor…

Linkedin has been an issue for years for me, because they simply disclosed your email to anyone connected. This enables some people and/or corporations to scrap profiles and build …

I'm puzzled. Does that mean nobody uses Windows in those countries? Same for Google/FB?

It's striking to see that there is a full section of Troubleshooting and test procedures, over 250 pages for the PC manual, as if it was supposed to fail by default. Apple did the …

I confirm Linkedin is a vector for spam, the way they handle and publish your email address: I use a dedicated, unique email address for my account, and systematically start receiv…

This is the same that occured with PocketPC, no? I bought several games on PPC that I am no longer able to run, because lack of emulators (if any, please mention some), but mostly …

A french Telco provider tried this once. You could get free calls from your mobile but had to listen to an ad before being connected. It didn't last long.

Another billions of $ managed on a stealth website: https://www.rentec.com/ (Those behind Cambridge Analytica, btw)
