In my case, I am a very senior member of my team so 25-50% of each day is spent helping and/or teaching teammates. In situations like that, it is useful to be deeply familiar with …

They're referring to the partnership between GrapheneOS and Motorola: https://motorolanews.com/motorola-three-new-b2b-solutions-at...

It's at the end on the conclusion slide @24:40: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se8E_SUlU3w&t=1480

My area has a net-metering plan available, so you can send any surplus out to the grid to offset energy pulled from the grid, essentially treating the grid like a large battery. Th…

With enough solar panels it is!

Not necessarily. I was spending ~$150/month on vultr's kubernetes hosting. I spent $5k building out a pretty awesome 1U server and I put it in a colo that costs me $50/month. Next …

It has. For example, PirateFi back in 2025: https://www.bitdefender.com/en-us/blog/hotforsecurity/pirate... The FBI were seeking victims for ~8 "games" earlier this year: https://f…

FWIW I'm one of those people. I have an old rotting pixelbook that I installed Linux on back-in-the-day thanks to Mr. Chromebox. It was a huge improvement over chromeos but I'd nev…

Was there? I see 14 comments, of which only 3 have any value at all which are: fanf finding an irrelevant bug, oliverpool explaining the use of LetsEncrypt staging, and hexadecimal…

Do you honestly think stackghost doesn't know what the "D" stood for? They were making a point, not seeking information. My answer directly responded to the point they were making.…

That's more of a historical artifact. The BSDs started as just "BSD": a set of patches for AT&T Unix that were _distributed_ by Berkeley. Eventually the patches became complete eno…

I think the author was suggesting "wait a week" as a one-time wait for fixes to be written and patches distributed for these specific prematurely-disclosed vulnerabilities, not an …

"I really wish I was eating in an airport" - literally no one ever. Airports are expensive, loud, and uncomfortable.

In that situation, the multiplexing wouldn't be handled in the terminal. You'd use something like tmux or screen. Seems irrelevant to the discussion about terminals.

Perhaps as a web client for the remote desktop on the BMC chips?

I was able to reproduce it using that script in my PS1 when `GIT_PS1_SHOWUNTRACKEDFILES=1` which triggers a call to `git ls-files`. Without that, it seems to be just calling `git r…

> any competently set up shell PS1 will tell you that I certainly hope your shell is not running `git` commands automatically for you. If so, that is a RCE vulnerability since you …

Oh neat, thanks! I (clearly) did not know that command.

If you don't run checkout on file paths, how do you undo changes to specific files that you haven't committed yet? Like you've edited but not committed , , and . You realize your e…

ooo that will be a nice improvement. So many times I've run `jj status`, then saw a file I wanted gitignored, so I'll edit my gitignore, but the file has already been added to the …

Ah, thanks! That's a command I haven't learned yet, so I'll have to check it out. I learned jj from the tutorial that was posted and I don't think it covered `jj commit` at all.
