I’m so confused by the meme. What the hell is a “monolithic bug”? And what does DevOps have to do with software architecture?

TIL, I’ve never seen that spelling before.

Hallowe’en

These apostrophes are out of control.

This but I prefer using a dedicated brush. Call me paranoid but what if an old toothbrush has bits of food stuck in it, wouldn’t want that to get into the phone.

Not sure why you’re downvoted.

Operating systems often cache disk writes and flush them to underlying devices once in a while. Dismounting (or “ejecting” in Windows terms) forces the writes to be flushed.

See man 2 fsync.

Hilariously enough, just today I read a blog post about a service where the client interacts with the database directly - https://clickhouse.com/blog/building-a-paste-service-with-clickhouse. While it’s not your traditional OLTP database, it still kinda fits.

Helix.

It is.

https://zed.dev/ - check out the video on the front page. Most of it (2:08 - 6:18, the whole video is 8:40) is shilling for an integrated LLM.

Never finished Mankind Divided though

Neither did Eidos-Montréal, apparently.

I assume, decoding it on the fly? It’s possible to encode a JPEG as a JPEG XL losslessly.

Webp currently the best image file format.

Out of the widely supported ones, it’s quite good, yeah. Overall, I’d say JPEG XL is the better one. Ironically, only Safari supports it out of the box. Firefox requires a Nightly version with tweaking in about:config. Chrome used to have a feature flag, but has since removed it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artyom - it is. And the Z in their username is actually capitalized. Hmm, I wonder why.

What about Satya Nadella’s pockets?

Yeah, they could just block VPN connections to servers outside the US. OpenVPN’s and WireGuard’s handshakes are easily identifiable.

Using obfuscation? Kinda sus that your connection with a single foreign server is transmitting gigabytes of traffic, but you do you.

Russia already does this, agent Krasnov and his cronies are just following in their footsteps.

ISPs putting you behind NAT is not cozy.

They charge extra for a feature called “static IP”. But the IP address not being static is not the issue, for me at least. You could host stuff with a dynamic IP back in 2000s/2010s. But no, now you get to share the same IPv4 address with a bunch of other households, unless you pay extra.

/64

That’s not an address, that’s a whole fucking subnet consisting of 2^64 different addresses. ☝️🤓

Imposters.

When you report a user in an individual chat, WhatsApp receives up to five of the last messages they’ve sent to you.

This particular function is not at odds with E2EE. The client can either:

• Send decrypted messages to the server. This is flawed because a malicious client can fake them, setting someone up for a ban;
• Send the keys so that the server can decrypt the messages. Depending on how often keys are rotated, this might leak a couple more messages than intended.

WhatsApp is not open-source, you can’t compile the client yourself. It doesn’t matter if it’s been audited by a third party. That version could’ve easily been backdoor-free.
