Re:Gmail thinks I'm stupid, so I left on Tuesday June 02, 2026 @11:53PM (#48379708)
So everyone is using the web UI? I'm still using a mail client (Thunderbird) connecting to my mail accounts through the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP). Today I feel old.

Have to click on black lines. They can be moved too.

Nobody mentionned *Pulsar* (https://pulsar-edit.dev/) which is the community maintained Atom since its sunsetting (Dec 2022). Atom was created by Nathan Sobo, who is now working on Zed (https://zed.dev/).

Re:SMTP Smuggling – Spoofing Emails Worldwide [video] on Tuesday January 09, 2024 @01:54AM (#38923209)
Introducing a novel technique for e-mail spoofing.

SMTP, the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, allows e-mailing since 1982. This easily makes it one of the oldest technologies amongst the Internet. However, even though it seems to have stood the test of time, there was still a trivial but novel exploitation technique just waiting to be discovered – SMTP smuggling! In this talk, we’ll explore how SMTP smuggling breaks the interpretation of the SMTP protocol in vulnerable server constellations worldwide, allowing some more than unwanted behavior. Sending e-mails as [email protected] to fortune 500 companies – while still passing SPF checks – will be the least of our problems! From identifying this novel technique to exploiting it in one of the most used e-mail services on the Internet, we’ll dive into all the little details this attack has to offer. Therefore, in this talk, we’ll embark on an expedition beyond the known limits of SMTP, and venture into the uncharted territories of SMTP smuggling!

Re:Ask HN: Best Board Games of 2022 on Thursday December 15, 2022 @01:26AM (#33996001)
I like the «spiele des jahre» prices, they are always good references (https://www.spiel-des-jahres.de/aktuelle-preistraeger-2022/). This year it was Cascadia.

If you like games that you can always have on you, check oink games (https://oinkgames.com/en/). Scout (nominated to Spiele des Jahre 2022), Troika, Mask Men, Startups and Kobayakawa are my favorites.

> The IOCCC Flight Simulator was the winning entry in the 1998 International Obfuscated C Code Contest. It is a flight simulator in under 2 kilobytes of code, complete with relatively accurate 6-degree-of-freedom dynamics, loadable wireframe scenery, and a small instrument panel.

> IOCCC Flight Simulator runs on Unix-like systems with X Windows. As per contest rules, it is in the public domain.

Oh, and the code is shaped as a plane. Pretty awesome.

Re:Ask HN: What is your Git commit/push flow? on Friday March 18, 2022 @03:37AM (#30719522)
Got it, it is not built-in on all distros. Head to https://git-scm.com/docs/git-gui/ and https://github.com/prati0100/git-gui.git/ for more.
Re:Ask HN: What is your Git commit/push flow? on Friday March 18, 2022 @03:33AM (#30719504)
Where is that? `git: 'gui' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.`
Yes! This Computerphile's video is a must watch!
Re:Energy Efficiency across Programming Languages [pdf] on Thursday November 18, 2021 @10:44PM (#29273578)
This paper compares a large set of programming languages regarding their efficiency, including from an energetic point-of-view. Indeed, we seek to establish and analyze different rankings for programming languages based on their energy efficiency. The goal of being able to rank languages with energy in mind is a recent one, and certainly deserves further studies.

The doc has been hacked with NSFW content :( how can it be reported?
Waow! Nice job there!

Re:Ask HN: What's the best corporate password manager? on Wednesday March 11, 2020 @02:26AM (#22543550)
Even if it's not as convenient as keepassX, lesspass, lastpassword or 1password, you should look at KeyBase (https://keybase.io/). It's great to manage access and teams, and it's easy to integrate it in automation and code.
