Disclosure: I'm CTO at Fleet. One of the biggest challenges is the vendor lock-in that results from the way the MDM systems work (particularly on macOS). In typical MDM solutions you don't own the keys and can't manage migrat

Disclaimer: I'm the CTO One of my favorite things about this is that we are bringing a GitOps workflow to IT teams. As a software engineer myself, seeing change management and CI coming to other domains within the organization is incre

Super cool! It would be great if the description field had a link to the subreddit and a link to the master list.

This is an interesting looking product. I grew lettuces using the Kratky method in cheap plastic bins and some standard shelving units, which was relatively low effort and had tremendous results at about 25% the cost of this unit (but much

There was a similar instance of a fake student living on Stanford campus about 20 years ago. I wonder if this is common among elite schools, or if Stanford has some special draw?

Fun! I kept thinking about doing this. Love your idea to use the dot-matrix tool. Maybe next a GitHub action to keep it updated and/or change it over time?

(I'm on the osquery steering committee) In theory osquery is "just" virtual tables, but in practice there's quite a bit more that would probably make attaching it to mvsqlite. If you have a use case in mind I would love

For folks who have announced funding rounds, how common have you found these kind of attacks?

I would be commending them if this notice went out March 3 after they had remediated the problem and were aware that they had no logs to determine whether there was abuse.

contents:read to contents:write is a big deal! Just to pick out a random widely used project, nodejs [1] has a number of unsigned commits to the main branch. Their commits could have been tampered with during this timeframe. What about rele

Their statements indicate they were aware and investigating. My frustration is that they didn't give users the opportunity to do their own timely investigation. > GitHub learned via a customer support ticket that GitHub Apps were ab

It's unbelievable to me that they waited over 3 months from when they became aware of this vulnerability until disclosing to effected organizations.

I moved to Canada from the US recently and was shocked at how poorly Interac e-transfers work and that there is no Venmo/Cash equivalent. The system seems to assume a 1:1 mapping from phone numbers or emails to bank accounts. Having mu

Glad to see that you've continued investing in this project! I paid for the Premium version back in the Projectifi times and would have loved a heads up by email that you made some significant updates.

I actually just picked up the exact same printer but hadn't yet had time to see what OSS libraries were available yet. I had a previous project where I printed photos on a low res thermal printer. The images sucked, but people loved it

Recent conversations with Apple have not yielded much support for a rapidly scaling worldwide-remote team. Our money's peanuts on the scale of things for them, so we need to take matters into our own hands with the strategies described

Anyone have first-hand experience deploying ClamAV on workstations at scale? I'd be very curious to hear more.

I don't think you're missing anything! We didn't need 100% uptime or a globally distributed CDN. What we did need is orders of magnitude cheaper costs. So we moved this particular part of our offering to Hetzner. I think the

This isn't a direct answer to your question, but our use-case is not latency sensitive (and not even particularly uptime sensitive). So far we've got near 100% uptime and if we needed more we could put multiple servers behind a lo

I can think of two possible reasons: 1) Website assets are generally optimized for size (images, etc.) and so reduce Cloudflare's total cost to service. 2) Cloudflare believes that free tier users who use it for their website assets ar
