Only issue I see is that the 8 chars required is very short and easy to brute force. You would hope that people would go for the recommended instead, but doubt it.

Is overwatch 2 really that bad?

I’ve played maybe 10 hours total of Overwatch 2 and it is incredibly boring (to me). But it seems to get lots of updates often, heavy monetization which sucks. The steam reviews are scalding. It really makes me wonder… is it that bad? Like really? It’s hard to gauge if the game is thriving or on deaath’s door…

Tanoh ,

The same goes for pretty much everything in life, not just games. It might suck in the short term, but just don’t put up with friends/partners/jobs you don’t like. Make a change

Tanoh ,

There is also the risk of homograph attacks. The link below is for domain name encoding via IDN, but the same applies to usernames. You could easily impersonate another user by having chars that look similar.

Sometimes they can be challenging or overgrown, so you have to know what you’re doing and be prepared to turn back if necessary, but I owe a lot of truly incredible experiences to this app.

Since it uses OpenStreetMap you should consider updating it for others later. Don’t think you can do it in Organic, but it can be as simple as in a browser adding a note to a trail about what state it is in.

Tanoh ,

Must be some weird AI bug, because in defensive wars you almost always get your allies to join.

Tanoh ,

And ethernet port!

Tanoh ,

…and it drives me insane when it is not real links but some javascript/button/div-with-onclick/etc and middle click won’t work

Tanoh ,

I liked the last season for the most part, but the episodes were very hit or miss. And I feel like this one was another miss. Hopefully the other episodes will be better.

Tanoh ,

Online discussions tend to be very polarising.

Nothing special about this topic, but something you should always keep in mind about any topic.

Why do you still hate Windows?

I realize this is a Linux community, but I was wondering why you still hate Windows. I mean, I love Linux, but I will not argue that it’s more convenient to the average person in most use cases to use Windows, I recently had to switch back to Windows and I realized how convenient it all was and how I was missing so many things...

“Thread closed due to inactivity.”

Why do many search engines seem to ignore operators (e.g. exact phrases, term exclusions, OR, etc.)? Is there a good reason for having a dumb 1997-level search logic that I'm not seeing?

Wouldn’t it cut down on search queries (and thus save resources) if I could search for “this is my phrase” rather than rawdogging it as an unbound series of words, each of which seems to be pulling up results unconnected to the other words in the phrase?...

Tanoh ,

Recruiters can’t see the difference! (Ok, not all but a worrying high percentage)

Tanoh ,

It was probably used for spam in the past, so they added a rule to trash all links to that domain.

Tanoh ,

No, the main point of standing desk is that whoever has one talks about them all day, every day. At least, that was my experience 10-15 years ago, which was the last time I spent in an office.

Tanoh ,

Subscription based teeth?

Tanoh ,

Accidents have minor consequences compared to GTA IV.

I agree with you I much prefered the driving in 4 over any other that I can remember. However, one really weird thing was that sometimes you could hit a curb at relatively low speed and you would fly through the windshield. Other times you were totally indestructable.

Tanoh ,

And if it succesful, or at least passenger doesn’t boycott them over it, it is just a question of time until other airlines adds it as well

Tanoh ,

Counting in lines of code is the most stupid metric.

Tanoh ,

That is still source code, obfuscated but still source code.

Tanoh ,

It works quite fine, use it daily. Well, XMMS2 to be pedantic.

Just some shellscripts bound to windows-keys to pause/play and load new files.

Tanoh ,

The question is whether x86 is even relevant anymore

Also RISC-V, though that is probably a few years away at least.

Tanoh ,

Exactly. And if you want those features, you install the full version. Packages can break in sid, that is the whole point of it.

I am also running sid and keepassxc and I see no problem with this change. In fact it seems like a very sane thing to do, and something I wished more packages did.

Tanoh ,

He could have handled it better. But he didn’t call the code crap directly, just the bundle of everything.

Having a meta package and let users choose seems like the best way. But this is a Debian issue, and not a keepassxc issue. It is up to Debian to package it anyway they want.

Tanoh ,

It is still just a “trust us” deal. They say they have deleted it, and all you can do is trust them. They could possibly get into legal troubles if it was shown they were lying, but that could be easily avoided as well.

GDPR is ok, but much of it is based on good actors doing what they should.

Tanoh ,

now that IPv6 has been adopted globally.

Now that is a quality joke

Tanoh ,

Security is hard. Especially at the scale of those companies. Since they are big, they get a lot more hacking attempts. Makes more sense for bad actors to attack someone with millions of customers than your mom & pop store that might have hundreds, if everything being equal.

More and more people and compa ies wants to store things “in the cloud”, (read: someone else’s server). It is for the most part a good thing as it makes it easier to access, but it also opens up bigger and other attack vectors.

So, I think the number of breeches will only increase. Not always because the companies have bad security (though sometimes it is 100% that), but also because the attack vectors keep growing due to changed business decisions and user preferences.

Tanoh ,

Why not just go full WSL?

Tanoh ,

I think a better, but still not perfect, way to define it would be “This person wants to do X, but can’t support him/her/itself doing it.”

Of course, if you are already rich it doesn’t matter and then it is a bad metric (one of the reasons it isn’t perfect.) However, I think it is a better way to define it. Someone writing a few books as a hobby and then stops are not a failed writer, but someone that wants to be a writer but just can’t support it is.

Basically I think the intent matters, but that is impossible to measure (and people lie about it). So being able to do it as a profession is an ok metric.

Tanoh ,

Most of those cookie banners are not even needed, you only need them for tracking cookie, not login and session cookies. But of course everyone decided it is just easier to nag all the users with a big splash screen.

A lot of them are not even doing it right, you are not allowed to hint the user that accept all is the “correct” choice by having it in a different color than the others. And being able to say no to all shouls be as easy as accepting all, often it isn’t.

Basically, cookie banners are usually not needed and when they are they are most often incorrectlt designed (not by accident).

Tanoh ,

…and when they don’t pay Discord under the table. Discord wouldn’t be unique if this was the case either.

Tanoh ,

now it is mostly written for web browsers (between which there are no longer any significant differences in terms of standards compatibility).

At this point I think it is just a matter of time until Google (most likely due to their near monopoly with Chrome), will push for some new standard that they own and control and must be used everywhere. For some handwaving combination of security and protect the kids, etc. And google are in a great position to make it happen, don’t support it? Oh noes, your site is no longer listed in google searches.

And that will be the end of the open web, you can only use one browser that totally controls what you can and cannot do. Ad blocking is just the start, saving websites or images? Nah. We don’t allow that. Copy the url? No, you need to use this share button that has embedded tracking links in it, etc.

Tanoh ,

I don’t know where you are getting those numbers from. Most put chrome in around 78%, edge at 10% and then everything else. And all chrome re-skins are just that, google still controls it. There is a reason one of the biggest software companies in the world just gave up their own browser engine and runs a competitor’s with some face paint.

Google are in a far better position to push something like this through than Microsoft ever where, due to their near monopoly on searches. Any site not using it would be more or less dead. Just going from number 1 to 2 on a google search can mean a huge drop in traffic, and then imagine not even being on it at all.

Tanoh ,

It also means that they can freeze separately

Pretty good summary of Microsoft’s “innovations” the last decade or so

Tanoh ,

Diverting is really expensive for the airlines, so you know they only do it if there is no other way. So it can’t just have been a bit of a bad smell…

Tanoh ,

The problem is that it is almost always just one lf them. Let’s say that v0.20 is called “Fuck Spez” and v0.21 is called “YouKnowWhatFuckMuskToo”.

Most people are going to refer to them by either the number or the name, almost never are both used. The biggest problem with names is that they are rarely sortable (google did it with android, for a bit but not anymore), so in the future it is hard to know which is which without resorting to looking at a list of releases.

For example, in the future when we are on v0.30 someone might say “ah, but this has been an issue since “Fuck Spez”.” And then most likely you have to look it up to know what they are talking about. If we coulld force everyone to alwaya write “version “Fuck Spez” (v0.20)” then it would be great, but that never happens.

I personally prefer just semantic versioning for this reason.

Tanoh ,

You can export the list of subscribed communities in 0.19.

If you do that every now and then a shutdown would still hurt. As all the communities hosted on it would be lost but at least you can import your subscription list on another server.

Tanoh ,

Different workflows.

Tanoh ,

GPG signatures are set by the sender to prove the message is originating from the sender and is unchanged. It’s signed with the private key and verified with the public key.

A bit of a nitpick, but important to keep in mind. The GPG signatures shows that someone that has access to the private key sent that message. If I somehow gets a hold of a copy of your key, I can send messages that seems to originate from you.

Tanoh ,

Just the ads, and you can’t turn them off. Ever.

Tanoh ,

Also bluetooth fucking sucks for lack of a better phrase.

9/10 times it connects fine, but then every now and then it just refuses. “What? No I don’t exist” and then you have to either restart bluetooth and/or the device, and then it magically works again.

Also, I quite often get stuttering with it. Not sure if it is my phone or headphones or both at fault, but I would like having an audio jack when I am sitting at the desk

Tanoh ,

I got super tired of google a few months ago. “Ah, you searched for these terms. But I am going to ignore that and instead show you results for these diffetent ones, because fu.”

So I started using bing instead, I wouldn’t say it is worse. Just differently bad. Some search things are much worse, some are much better.

Quite annoying how they keep pushing for “AI” all the time though, so might go back to google soon anyway.

Tanoh ,

For every year that passes Silicon Valley slides further and further from comedy to documentary.

Tanoh ,

Or maybe it is a feeble attempt to annoy people that sign up with [email protected] and then sort it into different inboxes (of course you can filter on other things but + is built into gmail). You can also use it to see who sold your info when you get spam on that adress.

Tanoh ,

You would need to specify the new port when using ssh (using the -p$PORT option).

You can put a host entry for it in .ssh/config specifying the port.

Tanoh ,

I think it has the hallmarks of a classic hype cycle.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gartner_hype_cycle

We are probably at around the peak of the hype cycle now. I am preparing the popcorns for when the next phase hits.

Factorio.

What do you mean, there are other games? No time for those. The factory must grow!

Tanoh ,

SSDs have a limited number of lifetime writes.

Yes, but in the real world it is not a concern. The number of writes you can do is so huge that you will never come even near it, and the speed boost from SSD far far outweighs it.

Tanoh ,

If you live in a city and have no backyard or similar, you should not be allowed to own a dog.

Like the old joke, “What do you call alternative medicine that works?” “Medicine!”

If some herb, plant or extract has a proven effect it will be adopted by real medicine, and all that is left in alternative medicine is the scams that do not work.
