    One of the reasons The Netherlands abandoned voting machines was because of electromagnetic emissions that could be read tens of meters away.

    There are so so many reasons to get arrested for social media posts that have nothing to do with censorship.

    Author here. Yeah, unfortunately, that's kinda it: just rebuild a lot. At work we have a custom setup with a build server and agents for provisioning, which is nice for multiple no…

    Author here. You're right, it's very much a trade-off and preference where you put control, NixOS or Kubernetes. I'm not so much torn, but more believe you always have to weigh pro…

    You can also start QEMU/KVM powered VMs with Incus, I assume that's also possible with IncusOS?

    What is cutting off the ICC if not restricting. I think that was a pretty blatant move, and is a large part of the chain reaction we're seeing now.

    I have no idea how the terminals operate, but I was on a flight two days ago and paid with a debit card. The flight otherwise required devices to be in airplane mode. Though there …

    Debit cards are most definitely accepted on planes.

    I think that is true when you initially switch and are still comparing browsers, but I certainly no longer check if something broken happens to work in Chrome. Stuff may equally be…

    Personal gripe, but there are a gazillion note taking tools, but very few of them do real-time collab. Me and my partner currently use Apple Notes for this, simple stuff like groce…

    It goes on to say: > The EDPS has also decided to order the Commission to bring the processing operations resulting from its use of Microsoft 365 into compliance with Regulation (E…

    Thanks for pointing that out! Maybe we can improve on that, even if we keep it as a non-goal. Right away, a partial mitigation for current versions of Portier is to modify the `ema…

    This looks like it has the same core functionality as Portier? https://github.com/portier/portier-broker I'm on mobile, so haven't really checked where we differ in details.

    The post body is just one property of a JSON-LD document in ActivityPub. The rest of it is metadata, relations, etc, that different apps may present ever so slightly differently. I…

    I'm not sure that applies here. If data is migrated from one app to another, content may change. We could create a protocol for requesting content-addressable URLs over HTTP, but i…

    Maybe it's possible to patch the dependency? For example, for Node.js / npm, there are automated ways to do this, like [patch-package]( https://www.npmjs.com/package/patch-package …

    I don't believe business opportunities are lost that quickly. Sure if you're down for 2 months, yes. But use a solid dbms and web framework and you can transition to multiple serve…

    This mentions the Elasticsearch situation, but there's nothing the GPL does that would've helped Elastic.

    This isn't available on my model. I think it's only 2019 and newer? The exploit seems to cover some older models as well.

    Make me wonder, at what point does brute forcing private keys become more lucrative than mining?

    Here is the microdiff benchmark wrapped in benchmark.js: https://github.com/stephank/js-diff-benchmarks I added three more libraries, and also the size in bytes of `JSON.stringify(…

    I maintain symmetry[1] and wanted to try the benchmark against it, but the results are very inconsistent. Symmetry is anywhere between 50% slower to 20% _faster_ than microdiff on …

    What's slow in your opinion? I assume it's either config evaluation or the state refresh?

    I’ve also seen anti-virus do this, though I don’t remember which brand.

    This is one of the reasons why I'm no longer using Alpine as a base in Docker images. I ran into this limit specifically with node-sass. But in general, the difference in image siz…
