Not if the security vulnerability does not also lead to root privileges.

That's already the case. IPv6 is often faster because most ISPs these days use cgnat for IPv4.

Re:SSH has no Host header on Wednesday March 18, 2026 @05:31PM (#47431677)
Why not "ssh [email protected]" (naming based on the example in the blog)? That way, you would have the "Host header" as username.

This made me realize how dependent I am on GitLab CI/CD. I don't even know how I would perform a new deployment without it.

I find their pricing model strange. I can completely understand why they would want to limit outgoing emails per day. But limiting incoming emails per day feels strange, even if the limit seems reasonable.
LanguageTool also belongs to an American company, because it was acquired by Learneo in 2023. You can also see this on the LanugaTool website. If you click on Imprint, you will see a German company, but if you go to the terms and conditions, it suddenly becomes an American company.

> If I understand correctly, this means you can't back up the private key, correct? It's in the Secure Enclave, so if you lose your laptop, you also lose the key?

In a business environment, that's what you want. The key is then burned, and you ask your coworkers (who still have access) to remove the old key and store your new one on the servers.

Background:

> Other apps were not allowed to use this permission at all, once it was introduced in 2022. I could convince them back then, that we need this. But nowadays they are more strict on it and thus we needed to remove this permission. Thus is, why it feels now like a regression / problem in UX, while it was only an exception that they allowed it for ~2 years.

Had a similar problem but can't remember the Btrfs process. Anyway, after I switched off Btrfs quotas, everything was fine.

The last commit and release is from october.

Interesting. Are there open APIs that you use for train-scanner or do you have to reverse engineer some apps?
