>When an attacker gains a foothold in a corporate environment, they will immediately try to find any accessible credentials to assist in lateral movement. So you think this isn't t…

Have you tried a different USB-A charger? Some smaller devices have problems with USB-C to USB-C. I don't know why this is the case, though. It's just something I have observed wit…

What are "absurd" amounts of CPU and memory? Calculating and pinning dependencies is just a very difficult problem which happens to be reducible to SAT. If you think a SAT solver t…

I use pip-tools with venvs for that and can‘t complain. It pins dependencies and you can create different requirements.txts for local dev and production (production for me is usual…

Threema's protocol doesn't even implement forward secrecy. From a security standpoint Threema is closer to iMessage than to Signal or other Signal-protocol-based messengers.

My understanding is that containers actually can access nftables with CLONE_NEWUSER even without CAP_NET_ADMIN. EDIT: Apparently the Docker default capabilities don't allow CLONE_N…

Are you implying that getting init script customisations overwritten by package managers isn't a problem with non-systemd init managers? I have lost track how often that happened w…

It is different. I can run a Debian VM with GUI applications on any recent x86 Chromebook. It's pre-installed and supported.

802.11n with 5 GHz is okayish, but using 2.4 GHz can be brutal. It's not just the bandwidth, the whole frequency band is just bad. My latency regularly goes through the roof and vo…

With that budget you won't find an always-on display. OLED panels are just too expensive.

Try 'python3' or 'python2'.

I think the appeal of the 13 mini is that it actually has all the interesting features of the bigger phones (minus 120 hz and ProRes), just in a smaller phone. I would agree that t…

They could easily do it if they wanted to, now that they have more control over the SoC. With Chrome OS they already do it. Most devices that are released now will get 8 years of s…

A toothpick also works fine.

The author forgot to add the "duckie" item in the list.

I guess the installation via pip is only best effort in the sense that they can't support every platform that pip is able to run on. For example their dependency on the "cryptograp…

It's tricky, because most phones can't be flashed with an alternative aftermarket OS. I know that LineageOS etc. exist, but most phones don't have a stable build and a lot of SoCs …

64 characters? Why would they do that?

Modern low- to midrange phones certainly have more RAM and storage than your 2014 phone, which matters more than the raw benchmark scores.

This has been a problem for a long time. I'm not sure why other distributions are better at this than Debian, but I think it has something to do with how Debian splits up software …

>Most desktops today only have a browser and some office application installed. The desktops I see on a daily basis don't have only a browser and office application installed. I'm …

>Chances that the average user's phone is compromised is very high. How do you know? Android and iOS apps are much better sandboxed than desktop applications (which usually aren't …

I've never heard of a phone that does this.

I know what you mean, but as soon as you have transitive dependencies it doesn't work at all. At that point you can't reproduce the same state of your venv at a later date because …

I'm surprised that pip-tools isn't more popular. For the stuff I do with Python (small CLI tools, casual webdev) it's completely adequate. I can pin down my dependencies, upgrade t…
