News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Even behind a tunnel, if you happen to be running an older version of a service (like Immich) with a known exploit, you are still vulnerable to attacks. Tailscale sidesteps this by keeping the service completely "invisible" to the outside world, so the two don't quite compare in my view.

For what it's worth, I gave RTK a go after a rushed, failed attempt at using redux. Initially started as a POC for some internal tooling within the company. Due to its simplicity, it was a breeze to set up. Two years later, it's still great, and things like RTK Query[0] have made it even better, by removing the need to write custom data fetching logic, and adding other perks like caching.

Thank a lot for your hard work!

Thanks for posting this. Decided to install it as a package and give it a try, so far I'm quite impressed.
What happened to the solar companies in Germany?
Re:Onboarding to Elixir on Tuesday June 22, 2021 @10:30AM (#27592096)
That sounds very interesting and specific.

If it's not a random example and if you're at liberty to say, would you mind elaborating further how Elixir specifically excels in that particular use case, and what would an alternative approach, regardless how cumbersome, be?

Great job and excellent art style. It provides enough material to get any curious mind interested in reading further about Kafka.
It's been a few years since I tried using it, so take this with a grain of salt, but my biggest gripe with it was that it would grind my computer (a beefy Dell) to a halt. Of course, this depends on what sort of environment you're trying to replicate. If it's 2 to 3 microservices and a database, I would imagine it's fine, but anything more, which is what I had to deal with at the time, it was a no-go. Especially so since this meant that running minikube and having a RAM-thirsty IDE, like Intellij IDEA, was practically impossible.

I am in the Netherlands, and my current contract stipulates that should they want to get rid of me, the company has to notify me 4 months in advance, whereas should I want to leave, I need to notify them 2 months in advance.

Do you have any sources on the legality of different notice periods in Europe?

Re:The absolute worst scenario happened on Monday March 22, 2021 @09:11AM (#26540290)
Sounds very interesting, but the story seems to be behind a paywall. I found some other articles[0][1] related to the incident, however none of them seem to mention the flying of a hard drive across continents.

Re:Magic Mushrooms Are Decriminalized in DC as of Today on Tuesday March 16, 2021 @09:54AM (#26476696)
I am unsure if this is the incident that they are referring to, however a teenager died in 2007 after jumping off a bridge while under influence[0]. As per the article, that was the catalyst for getting hallucinogenic mushrooms banned.

That sounds interesting, can you please elaborate on the whys and hows?
That was a great, informative video, thanks for sharing.
The more competition there is in this space, the better, and this looks like a very nicely polished solution right from, the get-go. I would definitely give this a go for smaller projects, as an alternative to MaterialUI or ant.

Can you reuse the grains? If so, how many times until they stop working?
Interesting, thanks.
Not doubting your claim, but can you link to any news articles regarding this happening in the Netherlands?

How is ElementaryOS doing nowadays? I used it for about a year a few years back and while gorgeous to look at, it had quite a few UI glitches.
Cool game!

Is there a chance to get longer words in the mix? I could be blind, but the longest word I was able to spot was 5 letters long, I think.

Re:Docker for Mac with Kubernetes on Saturday January 06, 2018 @10:38AM (#16085667)
Have you ever tried docker-compose?

While the two solutions are obviously with different goals in mind, one being to fully run the kubernetes setup locally, and the other one to run a few docker containers who talk to one another, if it's for the purpose of running a simple-ish dev environment, in my experience, docker-compose is much faster and simpler than minikube.

Thank you for the thorough reply!
- Don't use the next big thing before actually understanding the benefits only because someone else tells you to. (Looking at you, Angular and Docker!)

I'm curious, what do you not like about Docker?
