I can't test this due to the product being out of stock, but I wonder what their approach to PCI compliance is. Processing credit card data has a high compliance burden if you're unwilling to use a secure widget made by an already-authorized provider like Stripe. That's for a good reason, most web and mobile apps are designed such that their backend servers never see your full credit card number and CVV. You can't do…

The FAQ says they use Stripe for orders and don't even have their own DB in which to store purchase data, so PCI compliance should be a non-issue

Interesting. I like this. No need for a cookie banner.

There is never a good reason for cookie banners, by definition. The rule is that if you have a good reason for your cookies (i.e., basically one that isn't user-hostile), you have nothing to worry about and don't need a cookie banner. It's only when you engage in user-hostile practices, such as tracking, that you need to ask for consent. I'm being sightly snarky, but that's really the essence of it.

I believe that you need to inform users about the use of strictly necessary cookies as well. You just don't have to ask for consent before adding them.

https://gdpr.eu/cookies/:

> While it is not required to obtain consent for these cookies, what they do and why they are necessary should be explained to the user.

There's nothing about a cookie banner in GDPR, it's just the most convenient (and, often, laziest) solution to the question of how to confidently say you've told users something.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Check for yourself with ssh -v -i /dev/null terminal.shop vs ssh -v terminal.shop What you're looking for is that there is no line that says something like debug1: Offering public key: /Users/fragmede/.ssh/id_rsa RSA SHA256:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Upon further testing, the full command you want is: ssh -a -i /dev/null -o IdentityAgent=/dev/null terminal.shop to forcibly disable a local identity ag…

For a cool example (deanonymization), see https://words.filippo.io/dispatches/whoami-updated/ (discussed at time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34301768 ). Someone has crawled public keys from GitHub (tbh I was surprised that GitHub publishes them) and set up a database.

Gitlab does the same.

I've seen provisioning scripts and even cloud-init if I'm not wrong supporting downloading keys in that manner.

From one side it's cool from other side allows to bypass of system administrator for keys update more easily.

From the FAQ:

  will Nil make me a better developer?
  legally we cannot guarantee that it will, but...

  is it true your coffee contains the sweat of @theprimeagen?
  we can neither confirm nor deny these rumors.

  is it true your coffee contains the tears of @thdxr?
  yes, this is true.

A lot of people don't know that before Amazon started, there was a company out of Portland, OR called Bookstacks selling books via a telnet interface. In the early days, Bezos was quite worried about their potential to get "there" first (wherever "there" was going to be). It was a fairly cool interface, at least for 1994. [ EDIT: worried to the point that we actually implemented a telnet version of the store in paral…

Do you have more info? I found this article[0] about "Book Stacks" which became Books.com, but it looks like they were based in Cleveland? [0] https://sbnonline.com/article/visionary-in-obscurity-charles...

Yes, books.com was based in Ohio. I bought from them via the mentioned telnet interface.

hey! i'm one of the people who worked on this, we actually launched a few days ago and sold out quite quickly - we'll remove the email capture so you can poke around we'll be back in a few weeks with proper inventory and fulfillment we'll also be opensourcing the project and i can answer any questions people have about this

oh shit, you're open sourcing this as well? I'd love to use a similar workflow for some of my projects. Love the idea! Also you guys should post over on Threads -- a bunch of people over there are really into the idea as well: https://www.threads.net/@mockapapella/post/C5_vLdDP0J1
