   I see that you're parsing `ss` output in 'src/services/network.rs' (L22-L31) [1]. I find this to be a rather shaky foundation as any future drift or deviation in the `ss` utility's output could potentially yiel

   From 2014 [1]. This seems to be posted once per year (at least); however, hardly a complaint as the discussion tends to be high quality. My personal mantra is if it's over 10~20 lines, I should arguably be using another language, like

   Thanks for this guidance. In times like these, I find sunlight is always the best disinfectant. The yt-dlp application functions better alongside ffmpeg, so I recommend installing that too. If on Linux, whatever is available via one's

   Things are indeed heating up when a saga that's been unfolding for over four years begins to attract attention on HN. A user or two have characterized Gill's activity as a pump-and-dump. From the article: > A common form of thi

    Good question. What that quote from the recent filing is describing is the result of investors using the "Direct Registration System" (DRS), which is a system for book-entry ownership [1][2]. Given the example of risk HN user &#x2

    This is an overreaction, almost to the point of absurdity. Risks inherent to pipe installers are well understood by many. Using your logic, we should abandon Homebrew [1] (>38k stars on GitHub), PiHole [2] (>46k stars on GitHub), Chef
