So how do the recurring airstrikes help the protesters?
Wouldn't this just make the number of packages that can be targeted smaller? E.g. I publish a testrunner that needs to install Headless Chrome if not present via postinstall. People trust me and put the package on their allowlist. My account gets compromised and a malicious update is published. People execute malicious code they have never vetted.

I do understand this is still better than npm right now, but it's still broken.

Re:Django 6 Released on Friday December 05, 2025 @02:26AM (#46157678)
You spell out a lot of examples, but all of them are purely technical. What is it that you can deliver to the user using Node that you cannot deliver using Django? This is a genuine question.

Only tangentially related, but maybe helpful still: If you struggle with OCD, the books by Sally Winston and Martin Seif are pure gold. There's nothing that helped me finding a way to deal with OCD like they did.

This is a well known concept called the "Hedonic Treadmill", which exists since the 70ies, not "doomer psychology". It also does not say treating depression is not possible. Depression is a disease.

> unless you're being treated by a psychiatrist

What tools for "measurement of success" does a psychiatrist have that aren't available to a therapist?

Re:Kata Containers: The speed of containers, the security of VMs on Wednesday October 04, 2023 @06:48AM (#37763305)
The ICE Wifi is using very exotic IPs for their gateway here, so this is not really Docker's fault.

For reference, this can be worked around by deleting your Docker networks, logging in and recreating the networks, which should pose no problems on a dev machine.

Theres go mod tidy, which does exactly that.
A package appearing in go.sum does not necessarily mean it's being used. It just means it has been downloaded once, but might have been replaced by some other version at some point.

I know it sucks waiting for a website to load, but it's not like your life depends on it. You can still be an overall happy person while doing so, time is not "lost".

Performance metrics are better when put into perspective.

Stylistic nitpick: don't use the word cancerous for things that don't make too much of a difference for anything but your "ethos". Real cancer has people die (animals too). Bloated websites might be annoying, but you will survive them even if your the 1337est hacker around.

I'd be way more interested in actually reading this if the headline didn't contain pointless profanities. Like this, I tag it Fanboi-ism and move on.
While this is much appreciated, keep in mind this does not work for Safari users.
Is there a way for me as a user to opt out of this tool other than relying on third party tools like uBlock? I'm starting to get annoyed by so many "privacy focused" tools with literally no consent options at all.
Thanks, didn't know outline worked around such issues.

I think a common approach would be using password-derived keys which would _not_ be stored on any server, but could still be used across multiple devices.

> Also, it would be pretty easy to share keys between your devices.

Genuine question: What's the most common and easy way of doing that at the moment?
