  • Couldn’t agree more. FireWire’s Direct Memory Access was such a game changer for scrubbing video footage right from the camera.

    There’s plenty of reasons to hate Apple but their I/O has never been one.

    Core Audio, for instance, is practically magic. Absurdly low latency with no need for device drivers with hardware that’s class compliant. Just plug it in over USB-C.

  • micro enters the chat.

    Static, portable binary with no dependencies.

    Out of the box:

    • Syntax highlighting
    • Multi-line cursors like Sublime Text
    • Mouse support (works incredibly well)
    • Splits and tabs for working on multiple files
    • Diff gutter
    • Copy and paste with system clipboard
    • Cross-platform (runs basically on anything that Go does)
    • Sane key binds (ctrl-s, ctrl-c, ctrl-v, ctrl-z, ctrl-x, etc)
    • Terminal emulator
    • Plugin system to extend it
    • And much much more

    I have nothing to do with the project but this binary is the absolute best. curl or wget to any host and away you go with effectively a Sublime Text / VSCode like in the terminal. It’s as simple as nano and as functional as a well configured and extended vim.

    It’s baffling it’s not more well known and not installed by default on major distros.

  • Doom Bar maker Sharp’s Brewery in Cornwall to be closed by US owner

  • How can one of the most ubiquitous and popular ales in the UK not be financially sustainable? What did they do to that brewery? Lump it with a bunch of debt or something and write it off?

  • Epstein’s victims ignored while UK’s interests take priority, former prosecutor says

    Jump

  • I doubt they’re being ignored so much as it is much easier to prosecute crimes where there is concrete evidence. Al Capone wasn’t convicted for countless murders etc, but tax evasion.

    At least once they’re incarcerated, it’s not impossible to try them on other charges

  • More importantly; good thing open source drivers exist.

  • Yup! Still the default on HP-UX too!

  • How did you learn to cook?

    Jump

  • Very much this. Watch a few chefs on TV / the internet and just trial and error. Cooking is a skill like anything else and you simply need to put in the time to get experienced.

    I do highly recommend you own a wooden chopping board, a Mercer Culinary Chef’s Knife (or better), and a 1000 grit whet stone for sharpening. A sharp knife makes cooking easier and more enjoyable. And a wood board is kinder to a blade and is surprisingly more hygienic than alternatives.

  • I’m not disagreeing with your sentiment but just pointing out it’s highly unlikely to see the UK go against Israel - from the Balfour Declaration to the Palestine Act 1948, the UK played a critical part in forming Israel as we know it today and are ultimately the catalyst of the war.

    The history of the two states are deeply intertwined and no doubt benefit both parties (e.g a British ally to strengthen access to the Suez Canal).

    Unless there’s a monumental shift in the entire political landscape of the UK (even the rise of anti-immigration sentiment is actually in favour of Israel), the two states will continue their long-standing support of one another.

  • It already is pretty rampant, however most Linux admins have minimal if any detection strategy.

    Additionally, while there’s plenty of binaries about like VoidLink, almost all campaigns against Linux hosts target SSH, or RCE vulnerabilities, and deliver shell scripts that orchestrate the attack.

    Why compile a binary when the shell has everything you need? The threat models are pretty different between Windows and the *nix world.

    When you look at botnet composition, they’re usually made up of outdated Linux hosts with SSH open with password-based authentication.

    Seriously people, switch to key-based auth and disable password auth entirely.

  • A new homelessness law in Wales is being called 'world-leading'

    Jump

  • I’ve been immensely fortunate to grow up with such a wonderful role model.

    It’s important to note rough sleeping is only one part of homelessness but it’s the most visible.

    I’d recommend reading Crisis’ page on how you can help.

  • A new homelessness law in Wales is being called 'world-leading'

    Jump

  • I’ve been supporting Crisis and Shelter every month for years now. I’d gladly pay more tax so people have a right to somewhere safe to live.

    Growing up, my sister would never ignore someone who was homeless and would get to know them and support them however she should (a coffee, help with forms and letters, even just a general chat). Every day, everywhere we’d go. She drilled it into us that there’s never an excuse to ignore someone who needs help and luck could turn and we could easily be in the same situation ourselves.

    As a society, we shouldn’t view a roof over our heads as an asset but a right. We spend plenty of money on nuclear reactors for submarines that can launch the apocalypse, I think we can spend some more on helping the most vulnerable not be forced onto the streets.

  • After the years of stories of how rude, unkind, smug, self absorbed, and arrogant they are, I’m not surprised ‘rapist’ is getting added to that list.

    Hopefully justice prevails for the victims.

  • Depends how you view priorities. $10/y or one time $250. I’ve owned several domains for longer than 25 years. $250 is a pretty sweet deal.

  • What's with companies naming things "MyNoun"?

    Jump

  • It started with making office computers personable for home use in Windows 95 e.g. “My Computer”, “My Documents”.

    This carried on into web services like My Yahoo, or terms like My Account.

    Smashing it into one word was also a thing back in the late 90s / early 00s because it (a) was easy for searching in older search engines and (b) sounded like Apple’s iPod, iMac etc (MyPod, MyMac).

    Continued use today is usually because of either (a) it’s been called that for a couple of decades already or (b) the product manager is themselves old and has forgotten how old the trend of trying to make those new fangled computerybobs sound welcoming and friendly.
