In the Apple ecosystem, passkeys are stored in your iCloud, and access to the passkeys is device bound. So if I generate a passkey on a MacBook, I can then use it from my iPhone as well, because it's encrypted to all my hardware devices.
It takes very little money to rent massive botnet capacity to perform crippling DDOS attacks. Unfortunately there are only very few CDNs capable of absorbing that kind of attack.
No, lack of maintainers and maintenance on Xorg would have made Linux desktop unviable altogether. High DPI and fractional scaling are very badly supported on Xorg, and architecturally impossible to build.
Wayland is where development happens, so for better or worse, that is what you'll have to use. If you don't like it, go maintain Xorg, if you can't, you're in no position to complain.
I sense a lot of conservative "they took away our X11 freedom" and I have no understanding for it.
Odd that there's no link to the retracted article.

I used https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat on a family member's new Win11 install and it actually works reasonably snappy. I wouldn't be want to caught dead with it, but I couldn't convince this one to go for macOS.
I haven't particularly kept up with RFKs brand of MAGA craziness, but all European countries have different childhood vaccination schedules, with some overlap, see here: https://vaccination-info.europa.eu/en/about-vaccines/when-va...
I'm not saying that Kubernetes isn't complex, I'm saying it's a fallacy to claim that the Hashicorp stack in any way manages to be less complex in practice. All of these moving parts are unavoidable if you want to run software at scale, Kubernetes is just way better engineered than the Hashicorp stack, if only for not depending on dockerd.
Docker is not for production. Nomad at scale in practice needs a lot of load-bearing Bash scripts around it: for managing certs, for external DNS, you need Consul for service discovery, Vault for secrets.
At that point, is Nomad still simple? If you're going to take on all of the essential complexity of deploying software at scale, just do it right and use Kubernetes.
Source: running thousands of containers in production.
A partially typed password would be output to standard input if a timeout occurred when Defaults pwfeedback was not enabled (GHSA-q428-6v73-fc4q).
Timestamp files did not take into account the setting of the Defaults targetpw and Defaults rootpw (GHSA-c978-wq47-pvvw)
Also this will completely disable any new phone OS' being developed. Why would anyone bother when you can't verify your wallet to do anything online.
This already the case today, you can't run your bank's app or government eID apps on anything but Google or Apple devices.
In the Netherlands we have 'focus cameras' now that specifically detect smartphone use while driving, with hefty fines of €430. These cameras are mobile as well, so they get placed on different spots over time.
It's not like the browsers can just switch to some better maintained XSLT library. There aren't any. There are about 1.5 closed-source XSLT 3 implementations, Altova and Saxonica. I don't want to sound ageist, but the latter is developed by the XSLT spec's main author, who is nearing retirement age. This library is developed behind closed doors, and from time to time zip files with code get uploaded to GitHub. Make of that what you will in terms of the XSLT community. For all of its elegance, XSLT doesn't seem very relevant if nobody is implementing it. I'm all for the open web, but XSLT should just be left in peace to slide into the good night.
A submarine is a boat and boats sail.
"Would Europe ever hand over control of its national power grids to foreign companies bound by non-European law? Would we trust a foreign supplier’s guarantee for 99.999% uptime (which is the standard uptime SLA agreement of cloud providers) while at the same time a foreign power could force them anytime to cut Europe’s power? Of course not."
EU already does this:

macOS does ask you if you want to allow a program to access your files in $HOME. Not sure if it's a perfect solution, but still, it's something.
As a more additive approach than just giving up and running everything as root, I think in Linux you could do the same with (a fair amount of effort and) SELinux or AppArmor.
I agree that sooner or later your SSH port will end up on Shodan anyway. Putting SSH behind a Wireguard VPN solves this completely.
This distinction is a technicality, given the The Hague Invasion Act signed into law by G.W. Bush. Or to use your example, would a hypothetical attack on the UN building in New York not also be a violation of American sovereignty?
'Data stays in EU' is not true: the US CLOUD act means that American law enforcement and intelligence agencies can and do access data stored in data centers operated by American companies, whether or not they are on American soil.
The rest of the article was probably generated by Claude too, given the wishy-washy both-sideist utterly uncontroversial non-conclusion.
Many important plugins are only in the official marketplace, and it's not allowed to use this marketplace from open source builds.
The practical effect is that open builds like VSCodium don't have access to things like the C# plugin, making them not useless, but much less viable than actual VS Code.
That confused question was asked by representative Richard Hudson, R-NC.
UPNP/DLNA is supported on many devices, especially audio-related devices, though maddeningly not so much on desktop OSes.
Not at the moment - this would be a good topic for a blog I've been meaning to set up for 10+ years now.
BubbleUPNP is so nice that I emailed the author to please consider taking yearly payments instead of the very lenient one-time price of less than €10.
I run multiple minidlna instances in Podman and let BubbleUPNP connect to them through Wireguard. Getting the multicast discovery to work was a bit challenging.
This seems to be an aggregation of some posts on python-list. Basically, extra-random opinions.
I'll offer mine: I won't say that Python packaging is generally excellent, but it's gotten much better over the years. The pyproject.toml is a godsend, there's the venv module built-in to Python, pip will by default no longer install package outside of a venv. Dependency groups are being added, meaning that the requirements.txt files can also be specified in the project.toml. Documentation is pretty good, especially if you avoid blog posts from 5+ years ago.
Why would anyone put lights on a drone if it was meant to be kept secret?
Can you set a variable from one task and use it from another, or is it a bad thing to want this?
FUD: you can install your own keys, enable secure boot and run the OS of your choice.
As a small optimalisation, for some applications it may also be acceptable to configure a timezone that applies to the whole database, and then to do everything else the author describes here.
