That's absolutely great read - especially recently I'm trying to get back to the childhood fun with C64 myself and re-learn some of the little programming I did back then, learn something new. Articles like this are a treat, thank you!

This is about unprivileged users - privileged ones can see everything. The idea is to make figuring out what's the surface of the attack harder (for those attackers who are less than skilled) by making it less obvious that 10 years old game server process is running on this OS.

Then Podman for FreeBSD exists for a while too.

In what sense? FreeBSD had containers before anyone heard about Docker ;)

I think the point here is that free beats easy peasy, especially when learning a new skill, where your easy peasy isn't their easy peasy. And getting something up and running on Oracle Cloud with Terraform is nowhere near easy peasy for someone who never did anything with Terraform ;)

You can submerge recent iPhones completely in water for few years now. Every year I make some quite fun and surprisingly looking underwater pictures with mine, that's just fine afterwards given I'm still able to write this comment on it.

So you haven't purchased it from Apple but instead you've purchased it from Amazon. This may change things. In Europe you have two ways of dealing with it, either by manufacturer warranty (completely good will and on terms set by the manufacturer) or by consumer rights (warranted you by law, overruling any warranty restrictions).

Sellers often will try to steer you to use warranty as it removes their responsibility, Amazon is certainly shady here. Apple will often straight on give you a full refund or a new device (often newer model), that happened to me with quite few iPhones and MacBooks.

Know your rights.

If I'm not mistaken, it is possible, but not on the free tier.

What about non Linux operating systems? Those exist and Open Source software written for them, developed on them exists.

Who and where invented a computer that can think? I must be missing something?

You can and you should back up your keys. There isn't a 100% safe, secure and easy method that shields you from everything that can possibly happen, but there are enough safe, secure and easy ones to cover vast majority of cases other than a sheer catastrophe, which is good enough not to use outdated and security prone mechanisms like passwords on network exposed service.

Why would you use password based auth instead of priv/pub key auth? You'd avoid this and many other security risks.

While not exactly the same, it will be close enough for Apple not to do it - it's called MacBook Air and it will be out with M4 soon enough (I guess).

Back in they day they had 11" MacBook line and I loved it, wish they'd bring it back.

Interesting! I'd swear that in the early days of OrbStack somewhere on their website I've read they're using native MacOS frameworks without the need of Linux VM, but I can't find that anymore (they don't mention Linux VM either, but the language still differs from what I remember).

You don't need a VM on Mac to run containers, check out OrbStack, they provide a Docker compatible engine that is using native MacOS capabilities for running containers without the hidden Linux VM.

Sure it's effective if you're looking at the reduction rate of existing number alone. But reverse the problem and the very big effort of warning about dangerous-to-lethal stuff still doesn't stop 11% of people from doing so. That's quite bad, when you think about going from zero (you can't willy-nilly use untested medicine) to 11% of the society.

Smoking is already advertised as dangerous-to-lethal and look how effective it is in preventing people from smoking.

In huge oversimplification some crazy or fraudulent people will claim it cures blindness or cold sores, some other people will believe them and will have to deal with the real danger-to-lethal consequences, with the rest of society paying for their medical care afterwards.

Of course they do. And what is that thing on the other side that Putty connects to for our professional friends in vast majority of cases?

Like OpenSSH? ;)

Same here. I've paid for the quite expensive (relative to mobile apps market) one-off license only to discover it has a very high error ratio (sees blocks that aren't there) and extremely simple projects to build (in the range of 10-30 blocks total). I wouldn't recommend it to anyone barring the free use for simplest of builds.

Not in "another email", but can make some sense if done via "alternative communication channel". The idea is that the attacker obtaining some access to one device (let's say computer with email account containing the message with said file) doesn't have the full set of data required to open the file given password was sent with a different channel (say, text message via phone). Not the Final Word in security, but rather yet another layer of it.

If you open the Finder preferences, you can add few useful things, like your $HOME to the sidebar.

That is simply not true, OpenBSD is not mainly a research OS, it is widely used (for a non-linux OS) in networking appliances, to begin with.

Isn't it because it differs so much from movie streaming? On major music streaming platforms you can find most of the popular music artists. I don't have any numbers to back it, but my gut feeling tells me a-number-so-close-to-100 percent that it doesn't even matter anymore it may not be actually 100. Movies? You can't get Disney on Netflix, you can't get Apple on HBO, you can't get... you just can't. Imagine having Metallica on Netflix, Madonna on Apple, Beatles on Sony and Silent Poets on Amazon.

You should be aware that "their job" is probably not the right term. FreeBSD is developed (mostly, technically) by volunteers and you can't make them do things you want. If you won't step up to do it, it's little unfair to demand others to do it for you.

I don't dare to speak about what is or isn't propaganda these days, but when I was a teen I had a chance to witness Russian army leaving their base in Borne Sulinowo, Poland in early 90's. They did in fact took toilets with them, along with things like radiators and, in some places, even bathroom tiles.

Have you tried 'Reduce motion' setting from the Accessibility preferences along with these: https://www.chriswrites.com/boost-your-macs-performance-by-d... ?

Shameless self plug, but I've had that itch and decided to scratch it with a tool[0] that would be universal and not limited to Go - albeit written in it ;)
