News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

oauea

Hardly, it's a fantastic guardrail when combined with health checks. You can say "you don't need it", but everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Make those mistakes not matter. You also take backups, right? Same idea.
Not really, just do a rolling deployment like you should be doing anyway. No one cares if the new version takes 1 millisecond to start up or 3 seconds because they literally won't notice.
Noticed the same thing. Even implying that what management wanted wasn't realistic would make them incredibly uncomfortable.
If you're a spammer then yeah, there's value to be had. But for moral people there really isn't any.

Not me. I've tried on Chrome/Firefox on Linux and Edge/Chrome/Firefox on Windows. Both logged in and out. From EU.

Dead link that redirects to bing.com

Am I missing something? That link just shows the usual search results.

Did they not roll this out in the EU yet or something?

Just keep in mind your disk can get zapped at any time, so keep backups and use raid if possible.

Send police to deal with the situation. If that is not possible for some reason, then that is the problem that needs fixing. You don't need murderbots.

When you dig deeper, you will indeed find that the public reason for these kind of restrictions is "to keep the user safe".

They claim to be worried about malware installing their own extensions, so they lock everything down. As if that same malware wouldn't just patch the firefox binary to allow loading unsigned extensions.

It's ridiculous and obviously meant as a first step towards a walled garden. It's very unfortunate that firefox followed google in this.

> Chrome is customizable too

Not really. Got a link to a Tree Style Tab that properly renders itself in a chrome sidebar? Because that's still not possible.

My point is that it's perceived that way within America. But the internet is larger than just America. And presumably/hopefully ChatGPT gobbled up all kinds of data originating from other countries.

Maybe if you only consider Americans. But rest assured, many black people do not want to be called African or American. Because they are neither.

Paywalling security updates is evil. Goodbye ubuntu.
Re:Stop the proposal on mass surveillance of the EU on Thursday February 02, 2023 @01:40PM (#34631162)
The answer is yes. Murdering other humans who have no way to see it coming and no way to defend themselves is deeply evil. Especially when you factor in the murder of innocents (also referred to as collateral damage), and the facts that mistakes happen.

Don't call encryption illegal. That's letting them shape the narrative.
Re:Stop the proposal on mass surveillance of the EU on Thursday February 02, 2023 @10:03AM (#34627427)
The reason is, and always has been, to enable lazy police work. They won't have to do their jobs if facebook will just tell them who the criminals are.

Any others?

> As it turns out, we only run repacks on a repository network level, which means that repacks need to consider objects from all forks of a given repository.

> Repacking entire repository networks will always lead to less optimal pack sizes compared to repacking just objects from a single fork. For GitHub, disk space is not the only thing we optimize for, but also performance across forks and client performance.

So the lesson here is you can DoS existing open source projects somehow by forking them and increasing the forked repo size >2GB?
