chroot doesn't nest, there is only one chroot active for a given process at a given moment. If you're inside a chrooted environment and call chroot on a subdirectory without entering it, you regain the access to the parent directo

AFAIK it only worked with optical drives, not pendrives. I've spent hours trying to get this functionality on my pendrives back in the day, to no avail (thankfully!). It was on Windows XP, and Windows 98 needed external drivers to even

Something akin to "uBlock Origin CNAME uncloaking now supports filtering by IP address" should be fine.

by vifon 2y ago
The title seems to be wrong, uBlock Origin supported it for many years at this point (only on Firefox). This seems to be a refactor of that code, not a whole new feature.

It's usually run as a local web application with the browser running on the same machine as the backend, though it's possible to bind it to non-localhost interfaces.

Sounds very similar to the paid data processing opt-out Facebook does now. That actually might be an interesting case.

One more point I'd add to (2): given its massive inertia / network effect, the tooling and the resources are leagues ahead of everything else. I'm using Darcs for a few personal projects and while the core ideas are great, th

This works only under the assumption Github won't change the current DNS setup that happens to work this way. A trivial example would be adding a record for the specific subdomain one used directing it to some completely different IP a

A minor correction: it's usually preferable to apply commits with `git am` instead of `git apply`, as it applies the commit with all its metadata, not just the diff.

This missing piece of information would be essentially `git reflog`, except it's not something Git sends between the clones.

Yes, C-x 5 0 is safe, but I often use my window manager's keybinding for closing a window instead. Customizing confirm-kill-emacs sounds like a great idea, I'll consider it, thanks!

My relatively new stance is that sometimes having an Emacs process that doesn't share the state is a feature, not a flaw. Specifically I started using non-daemon Emacs processes alongside my main Emacs daemon to compartmentalize my w

TMSU is the only such system I found useful without being cumbersome. After years of trying to use Git Annex, it was refreshing that TMSU doesn't alter the files in any way, merely storing all the (meta)data out-of-band in a separate D

Yes, and they should be marked as conflicting, as OP suggested.

Let me rephrase: GPG is possible to get working, the resident keys are not, regardless of the amount of setup. Though the other comment seems to suggest it might not be the case, so maybe there is hope.
26.
by vifon 5y ago
Do you have any documents on how I can use them in such case?
27.
by vifon 5y ago
Not every Yubikey supports the resident keys. All my Yubikey 5 keys have too old firmware, which AFAIK cannot be updated, so this is not a viable solution for lots of people even if they own the hardware. GPG just works, and can be used for

If you want your email reliably encrypted, encrypt it yourself. GPG works the same regardless of the provider.
