    There was a fairly active thread on the mailop mailing list about this, as you might expect given its userbase. Annoyingly, mailop.org list archives are member-only (free to join h…

    I wonder if OP didn't realise there was this _Show Hidden Files_ option and their .git was indeed backed up. That would be nice, they'd be able to get their history back!

    Mildly pedantic, and of course ignores how wild this whole thing is, but I don't think this bit is correct: After waiting for a little while, the program terminated with the follow…

    Very suspicious URL for this, with a prominent link to Trezor Suite at suite-trezorup[.]com - looks a lot like phishing. Be careful.

    Reminds me a little of Fly's Tokenizer - https://github.com/superfly/tokenizer It's a little HTTP proxy that your application can route requests through, and the proxy is what hand…

    Sounds like a dialup modem at about 3:30 :) How sure are we the aliens aren't trying to dial in?

    Jeff Geerling has been sleuthing into this lately too - my biggest takeaway is that it's only viewer counts that are suffering, he's not seen revenue drop which is key. Viewer coun…

    DNA makes me think of ASN.1 in that a short sequence of bits can convey rather a lot of information - but it makes no sense without knowing which message those bits represent. Only…

    Echoing parrit's comment, this was indeed a very nice read and very well written. I particularly enjoyed the gentle exposition into the world of cgroups and how they work, the leve…

    To be fair it's the actual releases that are in a single file. Development evidently happens in the traditional sense with the project in a nicely defined tree. The build process l…

    12 days left to support mtlynch's book on levelling up your writing, something many of us software developers could make use of. The discussion about Rules for Writing Software Tut…

    It's incredible to see such capability on such a tiny board. The LA9310 has incredible specs, too, what a beast. Have you done anything with its Network Listening feature? I'm curi…

    I have to say this is perhaps one of my favourite CCC talks. Interesting subject matter, novel technical problems and solutions, story narrated at speed and with just enough inform…

    And here I was wondering what the odd title meant, but with your hint it totally makes sense. From the page: wrttn:04af1a and of course if one visits https://landley.net/history/ y…

    Don't build from scratch :-) It's a rare project that a rebuild succeeds! My experience is with Laravel, so not too far off your ideal of using Symfony, though I wouldn't let minim…

    Certainly Qualcomm modems can have their diagnostic mode enabled when you have access to /dev/diag - usually on rooted devices but occasionally on stock. You can ask the processor …

    I submitted a comment to this article but it's unclear if it's going to be moderated or indeed published, here's what I said: I think it's a bit discourteous to shoo Daniel away du…

    Interdictor! That's the one! Looks like the posts start at https://interdictor.livejournal.com/?skip=340 and newer ones can be found via the 'Next 10' link at the lower right. Than…

    I really wanted to reply here with a link to something I recall reading from back when Katrina happened, but I can't find it. If I remember correctly it was someone called Usurper …

    If the pieces of state are all well known at build time - and trusted in terms of their content - it may be feasible to print out JSON 'manually' as it were, instead of needing to …

    Commenting before I've read this latest installment, I'm expecting nothing short of fun technical details and some interesting insights. The first two parts were a really fun intro…

    I wanted to like this but turned it off as I found it too distracting. As a competent programmer I've already got an idea of what I'm about to write in my head, yet having an immed…

    REST isn't too painful yet, but it will be in the not too distant future. As you know, the REST API will deliver a maximum of 2000 records per request, so beyond a certain scale it…
