News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Plex themselves literally recommend it and show a warning icon if it’s not accessible outside your local network. I always thought it was insane. To make matters worse their Synology package doesn’t auto update itself. I would guess there are a ton of vulnerable boxes sitting out there.
`claude agents` runs a daemon that survives SSH reconnects. You don’t really need tmux anymore

I'm surprised a bunch of tech professionals are totally fine with downloading random .dll's and patching executables. How do you know this is safe?
You’ll face unfairness with DEI / diversity quotas to get in to the college, and then if you graduate you’ll face unfairness by having your job outsourced to AI or H1B, but yeah cheating in school is totally where we draw the line.

Yeah this is why people just buy AirPods Max.

They just work. The integrated mic is clear and easy to use for daily standups. They connect to my work and personal laptop in a few seconds every time - I’m never left panicking right before a big meeting. Of course the audio quality, noise canceling, and battery life are world class, but that’s the case for their competitors too - the reason I coughed up the extra $150 for Apple headphones is because I know they’re going to fucking work exactly as advertised, no glitches or gimmicks.

Most men can’t even get a date anymore, but we’re not allowed to talk about the reasons why.
Yep, the only reason their pay is high is artificial barriers to entry.
If you have to be “top talent” to survive it’s not a good field to get into anymore.
It’s matter of incentives. Everyone knows the value of college is in the piece of paper they give you at the end, the things they teach you are not super helpful in real world. So people cheat so they don’t have to waste time learning useless knowledge and instead spend that time on something valuable, like working out or going to a party.
He is a good guy for not selling out but let’s be honest, it’s just a thin wrapper around ffmpeg.
Have to agree. This whole procedure of booking an appointment with a GP who then books you an appointment with a lab who then takes your blood is a huge waste of time. The technology is largely there for people to continuously monitor their health in real time, you see this in smartwatches as feature by feature slowly trickles in.

I thought colleges only had a limited number of slots to accept students each year. Seems like US citizens would be competing with foreign students in that case.
99% of those students were not any more talented than the average US citizen

Really? Where do you see that?
Yeah that sounds like a good idea

Not all dimensions. VSCode’s Remote SSH is better and UI is better. To me that’s worth the trade offs.
Re:CLion Is Now Free for Non-Commercial Use on Wednesday May 07, 2025 @06:06PM (#43921012)
People that say this are completely out of touch. You know there are VSCode extensions for Java (made by Oracle and Redhat themselves), right? Once you install that you get Intellisense, debugging, etc. Same with C#, Python, etc.

+1, the Remote SSH is horrible. Takes forever to connect and is extremely laggy once you have connected. Feels like they’re practically streaming video of the UI back to you instead of VSCode’s Remote SSH which feels indistinguishable from running locally.

Austin is down 20%. Doesn’t make sense to me. I keep hearing “they overbuilt” - so what, none of the builders saw this coming either?
How is this legal? I thought you could not use streamed music commercially? If you’re a DJ making money on a gig you’d be violating that law.
