Show HN: Secretsnitch, a fast, modular secret scanner in Golang

https://github.com/0x4f53/secretsnitch

this is a tool i wrote in golang that combines a set of practices i learned over the years in finding secrets that developers commit all the time. it has easy-to-use features like modules and caching that can generate a continuous stream of data to be used for security analysis purposes (such as attack surface monitoring).part of my work involves finding exposed secrets for organizations. this...

Why can’t they split the river in multiple parts with a small tributary for wildlife that meets up with the rest of the river downstream?

Don’t expose SSH, OMV, Docker, Portainer etc. Use cloudflare DNS. Enable fail2ban, tunnel everything over VPN.
I emailed Craig about several controversies and he was very quick to reply to me. We last talked about the rumor that Apple was giving iPhones trust scores.
Craig's email is [email protected]. The guy is very chill. It's better you email a software guy about software.

Also, be sure to file a bug report / enhancement at https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Have you tried emailing Craig Federighi about this? I emailed him a bunch of times about several things and he's a really nice and responsive person.

If you do, tell us about it here on HN.

Re:Ask HN: Would you introduce someone to programing on Thursday May 27, 2021 @11:19AM (#27304150)
If they're interested, obviously. The fact that someone looks up to you as a mentor is great and instills a sense of responsibility onto you. I personally start with Python because its syntax is very easy to understand, even though most beginners struggle with indentation (this is where a good IDE / text editor comes in handy). Teach him about problem solving and critical thinking first. Encourage him to pursue a fun project even if it seems silly. After all, programming languages are tools just like screwdrivers. If he has nothing to fix, make or mod, he'll be directionless.

As a programmer myself, sure I'd like to tell people. It's not realistic to make everyone a programming genius, but I want them to know its significance in society. When I describe programming to somone, I start with the most basic stuff, like Theory of Computation. How inputs relate to outputs, how a computer can do stuff on its own, and how you can make it do stuff.

Re:Ask HN: Does University Choice Matter? on Thursday May 27, 2021 @11:06AM (#27304000)
Yes, and I might sound naïve here but if medicine is truly your passion and you’re willing to go to any length to make sure you contribute positively to the medical community, then you won't regret your time there.

Have fun in university, and good luck with your studies. We’ll be rooting for you. :)

It varies depending on the field but what matters more than university popularity is how you spend your time at said university.

I'm a CS student from a very small university myself (so apologies if this doesn't translate well for you), and I know several smart people from very small universities whose contributions to open source software, personal projects, and connections within the startup community and various other factors really pushed them ahead.

So spending time meeting people with similar interests and pursuing meaningful things in university is essential to your experience there.

Ask HN: What underrated GitHub / Gitlab project has helped you a lot?

So I come across these nice projects on GitHub that have very few stars but I believe they deserve so much more because of how well they're written. I personally used projects like IGraphM and swift-emacs in college when they were relatively unknown and am happy to see them do better now.What are some such projects for y'all?

I don’t get why people don’t bring up documentation more often either. Having good documentation is a telltale sign that the software you write is high quality. Sometimes you even learn if a feature is stupid based on how you can describe it.

It’s sad to see how many great open-source projects get overlooked on GitHub because they’re poorly documented.

I’m a huge fan of Monaco and install it on all my Linux machines.

The fact that anyone can post anything, so you could have a serious issue in your code and they give you an inefficient solution, which is then upvoted by users who don’t know better.

Did you try Odoo? It's free and open-source and I believe it supports analytics.

Add to this that it’s Microsoft owned.
But then again, the State is part of the Five Eyes, so there’s not much to expect in terms of privacy anyway.

Looks beautiful. Add a dark theme too and it’ll be perfect! Selfhosting/business accounts for organizations and teams could take this project to great heights! Maybe a paid option for custom CSS and some plugins?

This project could help a lot of us with disorganized lifestyles.

Looking good mate. Would be nice if NewPipe implements your thumbnail preview in their app.
