It doesn’t mean “never improve”, though.

Seems they working on that https://wiki.opennic.org/opennic/tls

Let me guess: the protagonist would be an until now unknown but close Sisko relative that behaves very much unlike a career Starfleet officer.

Let’s Encrypt is a trusted, established alternative, it could replace Microsoft for long-lived software certificates.

Or tarnish its name associating it with malware and bad actors, who knows?

I’d guess the former, given it’s tiny compared to normal droppers, but you can never be sure these days.

This sample is a multi-platform ‘polyglot’ binary acting as a dropper and potentially a browser-based exploit. It functions as a Windows PE (with no standard imports, suggesting custom shellcode or manual API resolution), a Linux shell script, and an HTML/JavaScript file. The Linux component contains a command (‘tail -c+4294 $0 | lzma -dc > /tmp/a’) that extracts and executes a hidden payload from its own body. The embedded JavaScript is obfuscated and uses ‘eval’ to execute dynamically generated code. This structure is typical of sophisticated malware or cross-platform exploit delivery kits.

Maybe not that obscure, but Joe Celko’s Nested Set Model gave me exactly what I needed when I learned of it: fast queries on seldom-changing hierarchical database records.

Updates are heavy, but the reads are incredibly light.

I use Joplin daily, but its main disadvantage is the huge resource footprint, specially compared to a regular text editor with markdown highlighting.

The main advantages are that its cross platform, mobile, self-syncable, and E2EE. I think it’s better then even Obsidian.

Mermaid support is the cherry on the cake, although I still use a simple text editor for quick markdown notes.

“We are under attack, faithful Monerites! Shove more coal into the energy plants! Carbon will set us free!”

“We didn’t want to inflate our valuation with circular investings, the market made us do it! We are the victims here!!”

That’s donations, and I’ve donated to less projects that I’d like, because it would become costly very fast. Mainly things like Wikipedia or Jellyfin.

Ive contributed to several projects, code and translation, but you can really expect every user to be a programmer, or every programmer to contribute to every piece of software they use.

Besides, contribution is not a protection from capture, just look at MySQL.

Self hosting doesn’t make you immune, though. See how Plex evolved, for example. Self hosting plus free software that isn’t abandoned or compromised is the way, but idealistic developers need to take bread to the table too.

So the way maybe is self-hosted + libre software + a non-profit supporting the project. And that can too be corrupted, for example, the Mozilla Foundation and Google’s influence.

Always be ready to migrate.

I’m going to eat a very spicy burger and play video games for 12 hours straight to see if that starts a class war.

I’ve used Libre 1 for years, they work reliably. They will usually fail in the first hours of use, but otherwise work well for the 14 days.

Always keep a standard glucometer at hand, because these monitors can be affected by temperature and humidity.

Yet they never explicitly state you’re allowed to make convenient assumptions. If the bulb was out of hand’s reach the problem would be unsolvable.

Assuming the electrician that wired the switches is in the room would be even a more out-of-the-box solution.

The biggest flaw is that it assumes you’ll add conditions you’re not explicitly told are allowed. Many, many problems in school would be trivial if changing the terms beyond what’s stated was allowed.

Heck no. Last time I tried to make an account, someone had to invite you, or you had to prove yourself to them by showing your GitHub as if it was your CV.

Lurking is free, so I went to check what these pro hackers were posting and commenting: many links were already in HN, and the quality of comments was similar. No loss there.

Any alternative you could suggest? I migrated to HN from SlashDot many years ago, because the discussion was mature, and shitposting/jokes were frowned upon.

To this day I haven’t found something similar.

Whatever your place defines as a standard. I’ve seen ugly code in C, JavaScript, Java, etc., that uses them all over the place because they’re not mandatory.

If you don’t have consistent indenting, your code looks like copy/paste from several sources; but if you do have consistent indenting, then the indenting of Python is a non-issue.

Parent comment meant willingly. People weren’t agreeing to install Backorifice even then.
