False. Everyone can opt out of Facebook.

yes, calling it a heist specifically is extremely colourful in the wrong way

wait, you’re actually using encrypted email? Is it for work or you use it with friends/family too?

I’ve never received an encrypted email in my entire life.

One of the best TV sci fi franchises ever.

One problem with that is that you will end up with two EFI partitions. This is not supported very well by anything, really, so you will run the risk of Windows messing with the wrong partition anyway.

I’ve updated my comment.

I switched to Proton from Express when the latter was bought out by Kape.

Proton works perfectly so far for me. Their desktop software was a bit meh, but they’ve since improved it. Otherwise I have no notes.

Edit: it appears the PWA support in Firefox is not ideal, see responses to this comment.

Chromium is not an offshoot of Chrome, it’s more of a precursor to Chrome, and it is completely controlled by Google. As such, it will also drop support for extensions that do not support Manifest v3.

If you want to enable PWA support in Firefox, it looks like this is possible (however the experience doesn’t seem to be great, see responses to this comment): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Guides/Installing

For other browser suggestions see, e.g. https://www.xda-developers.com/4-browsers-manifest-v2-ublock-origin/

If you wanted to support all possible drivers, you would basically need to rewrite the entire kernel. You could make one specific anticheat work by supporting its specific calls, but this will take a lot of work, and will probably be broken with the first ever update.

In the past there were projects that supported specific types of drivers, such as ndiswrapper, but that had a very limited scope.

Nice article!

You seem to be missing the word “by” in the table introducing threat T04. Also, the threat summary table uses ✅ and ❌ in a way that was counterintuitive to me: initially I thought ✅ meant the encryption approach protects against the threat.

A bigger issue IMO is how you describe email encryption in transit as a matter of fact, but according to Google transparency report[1] there are still domains that do not support in transit encryption, and, what’s worse, when you send an email you can’t tell if it will be encrypted or not.

Is that a real problem? I’ve never considered that a python package manager should be or could be faster.

To be fair, I don’t use python professionally.

Awesome! Will definitely check it out. In case you haven’t seen it, here’s a nice collection of tips for indie game devs: https://develop.games

There are two ways to create a resume today. One option is to use a resume template, such as an office/google doc, and customize it according to your needs. The other option is to use a resume builder, an online tool that allows you to input your information and automatically generates a resume for you.

Using a resume template requires manual formatting work, like copying and pasting text sections and adjusting spacing, which can be time-consuming and error-prone.

Me just using LaTeX[1] with hundreds of templates[2] with no formatting problems for 18 years now…

I would argue that having distinct match and search helps readability. The difference between match('((([0-9]+-[0-9]+)|([0-9]+))[,]?)+[^,]', s) and search('((([0-9]+-[0-9]+)|([0-9]+))[,]?)+[^,]', s) is clear without the need for me to parse the regular expression myself. It also helps code reuse. Consider that you have PHONE_NUMBER_REGEX defined somewhere. If you only had a method to “search” but not to “match”, you would have to do something like search(f"\A{PHONE_NUMBER_REGEX}\Z", s), which is error-prone and less readable. Most likely you would end up having at least two sets of precompiled regex objects (i.e. PHONE_NUMBER_REGEX and PHONE_NUMBER_FULLMATCH_REGEX). It is also a fairly common practice in other languages’ regex libraries (cf. [1,2]). Golang, which is usually very reserved in the number of ways to express the same thing, has 16 different matching methods[3].

Regarding re.findall, I see what you mean, however I don’t agree with your conclusions. I think it is a useful convenience method that improves readability in many cases. I’ve found these usages from my code, and I’m quite happy that this method was available[4]:

digits = [digit_map[digit] for digit in re.findall("(?=(one|two|three|four|five|six|seven|eight|nine|[0-9]))", line)]
[(minutes, seconds)] = re.findall(r"You have (?:(\d+)m )?(\d+)s left to wait", text)

I’m not sure what a “music jukebox” is, and how it’s different from a music player, but I would recommend to try mpd. It should work with your collection, although I don’t have personal experience with collections of this size. Some clients might also not have been designed to work with such collections, so probably you’d have to try several.

Quantum encryption isn’t something quantum computers can even do. It’s not just transforming bits into other bits, it’s about building entirely new security properties based on physical properties of matter.

So, even if it is interesting for end users, they would need dedicated hardware anyway.
