News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I contributed to Phabricator a few times, and Evan was a pleasure to work with. I'm sorry to see it go but I hope for the best for Evan. I really hope this is a goodbye on to something great.

Phabricator will hold a great place in my heart as software written by a developer for developers that is well thought out, dog-fooded to the max, and fun.

My hope is that it can be well stewarded by a company into continuity. I wish I had the time to do so.

In short, thank you Evan and all those in the community for many years of wonderful software development.

This sounds really similar to https://www.mobvoi.com/us/pages/ticwatchpro which is a Smartwatch with a dual layer display, one of them is e-ink, the other is an AMOLED display.

I did something similar but for macOS. I used Frida, a really easy toolkit for intercepting native calls.

This didn't turn out to be true.

Should have added an extra node...

rclone is our backup solution at work, huge props to you!
Just to clear any confusion, this is not a town created by the relative existence of Disney World, this is actually originally part of the original Disney World property that Disney used to create a new town called Celebration, which was then sold off.

PS: I live two miles from there.

Highly Recommend this channel btw, lots of quality videos on old technology.
I find it interesting how the solution to the OTP SMS problem is to provide the SMS Receiver API. I think the iOS keyboard OTP suggestion is the right way to do that. An SMS Receiver API, even if secure, just seems like a backwards way to solve this problem.
Disclaimer: Not a moon landing denier or anything of that sort, I’ve just educated myself on why people think this.

My understanding is that people believe that they did indeed launch a rocket but that the landing on the moon was faked. Some claim they were in orbit around the earth the whole time, some others claim they went around the moon but staged the landing. There are even some who believe that we did land on the moon but there was a tape that was staged in the event of an accident. The level of moon landing denial varies by each and every person.

Remote operation over the network is actively worked on via Waypipe, seemed to work pretty well for me.

Waypipe does this in a really similar way to x forwarding.

Re:Two years of postmarketOS on Sunday June 23, 2019 @02:18PM (#20257601)
That's awesome! More stuff is in the works too, I plan to start working on a UI for pmOS on Glass. For such an interesting piece of hardware, it's so sad to see it just waste away :)
Re:Two years of postmarketOS on Sunday June 23, 2019 @12:47PM (#20256794)
I contributed support for Google Glass nearly two years ago, went on a long hiatus, came back, and reflashed... it still works!

The people in the pmOS community are also amazing, big thanks to them for a wonderful project, hope there are many great years ahead.

Imagine if this happened to you, assuming this is true. The settlements should be big and somebody at Hertz should go to prison for at least a medium amount of time, effectively it’s filing a false police report.

To the contrary you were an inspiration for me, you even joined our small development community and were interested in our development.

Nobody is perfect, you’ll always screw up with one person and succeed with another :)

Why do people in the name of diversity destroy everything they touch?

This changed recently so both of you are right in different ways.
Cue the people trying to claim that anyone in this entire world is unbiased. I'm biased, you're biased, everyone's biased. CNN is biased, NYT is biased, Fox News is biased, NPR is biased. We should all stop pretending that our own news source is unbiased. It's simply not true.
Re:Vendors, Disclosure, and a bit of WebUSB Madness on Sunday June 17, 2018 @12:43PM (#17333099)
If you meant to reply to my comment, Google is perhaps the largest deployer of Yubico products, and that is where their collaboration holds the most weight.

If there is a security issue with YubiKeys, it puts Google's corporate systems at risk.

I think this goes along with the (perhaps perceived) increase in self-centeredness in society.
Re:Vendors, Disclosure, and a bit of WebUSB Madness on Sunday June 17, 2018 @12:23PM (#17333017)
The real reason is Google buys YubiKeys enmasse from them for employee use (every employee has one), and works with them closely on in various ways.

In fact, they were closely involved when developing the USB Type-C variant.
