The only thing I want (not need) that is unavoidably distributed via snap is Canonical's Livepatch. I don't want it enough to keep snapd around but it irritates me that I can't have a useful security feature.

A few months ago I started noticing failed login attempts on my non standard SSH port (> port 1024) so I moved it up a few port numbers. About 2-3 weeks ago, I noticed that it was getting hit again by failed login attempts. I then chan

You can really go down the rabbit hole trying to figure out where the wheel+Alpine problem should be fixed. https://github.com/pypa/packaging-problems/issues/69 is a newer bug that is tracking this. Python

The final output of Poetry is a wheel so it's not an egg/sdist/wheel competitor.

I'm a big fan of Poetry (I have a few commits in there) but it's not without its downsides. At least a few months ago, you needed to install an entire compilation suite if you wanted to install a pure-Python source distribution (s

I recommend checking out the "Don't F$#k with Paste" extension which allows you to essentially control the setting per site: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/don-t-fuck-with-pas... There is

I feel like it's really easy for these sites to have their cake and eat it too. Anything the company writes is considered publishing and anything someone not affiliated with the company says falls under platform. If a forum's owne

The Quest can link to your computer and essentially act as a Rift using a USB cable (needed to be USB 3.0, a recent beta update knocked that down to USB 2). I can easily see the Rift being removed from the product line in the future.

There's a huge difference between criticizing the people/science and criticizing the decision. We collectively need to have a real conversation about the pros/cons/risks of reopening parts of society. However, we'

While I'm excited that Poetry hit 1.0, I'm actually more excited about the fact more devs were added to the maintenance team and that it transitioned to a project namespace. Sébastien was previously the sole dev with commit acces

* Still weak support for JSON (use Dict[str, Any]) Python 3.8 added TypedDict which finally helps this particular shortcoming.

I'm not a proponent of facial recognition at all and would not endorse it especially in this use case. But, if you believe the 17,000 hours/year number, that's ~$500,000/year (assuming $30/hour, random guess) in po

The 17,000 number does seem incomprehensibly high unless it's across the whole district. I'm not a teacher but I'm guessing the attendance gets compiled together and stored? Maybe this starts from hardcopy and includes all

Speaking purely on the technical side of this problem: if you had to design a system to take attendance without some sort of human in the loop (e.g. a teacher), what other workable solutions are there? ID scanned by itself? A student could

Are you aware of the microG project? It is entirely possible to run Android apps without Play Services. Is it perfect? Far from it but it's disingenuous to say "Android is barely more Open Source than iOS". If you want to add

I don't think something like "foo bar %s".format(foobar) would work either in this situation. I think you're conflating format strings with the lazy evaluation associated with logging. I am, however, in complete agreeme

I still don't understand why disabling the MAC extension nukes your settings where seemingly every other extension keeps its settings when toggled. To be clear though, FPI is the real weapon here against things like Facebook tracking

I'm a huge fan of Firefox's first party isolation (FPI) and using Containers to control Google. FPI kills trackers and Containers allow me to stay logged into certain Google services without having things like my search history tr

Saying your physical address is private ignores the reality of the situation: it's on your driver's license that you hand over to people that you don't explicitly trust (getting carded at bars, airports, stores, etc), it&#x27

I don't remember how I stumbled onto it but I ended up using Pledgie who then uses PayPal under the hood... it sucks. Pledgie takes some reasonable cut but then PayPal considers it a business transaction and takes like a flat $0.30.
