I've given up on coding personal projects because it feels like I could be doing them faster with AI and I just don't care to bother. Completely killed coding as a hobbyist for me. Still have a senior dev job... for now.

YouTube is really the thing that got me - the thing is it's not bad content, I don't watch slop, I watch quality stuff from interested, passionate individual creators and I could listen to them talk about their interests all day.

It doesn't wreck my day or make me feel anxious or anything, no doom scrolling involved, but it sure can turn into a huge time sink very fast.

Have you considered being less puritanical about these requirements? Surely there would still be strong benefits for many users on other devices which would only be able to run if these were relaxed.

I think it's more about convenience and bypassing filters - developers are already logged in to github, already have access to create repos and publish code, firewalls will allow it. Even fancy HIDS systems will think the git push is rather normal.

If they have a clue, the attacker still will not download that without using a botnet tunnel or Tor at a minimum.

Note though that these credentials aren't even encrypted using some lightweight ECC to prevent others from capturing them, they're posted in cleartext. Embarassment might be part of the point.

This gets even more involved when you consider things like loading libraries, there's also the impact of calls like OpenProcess/WriteProcessMemory/CreateRemoteThread (Windows-land versions, though I'm sure similar exists elsewhere).

The "good" Windows firewalls like Outpost and Zone Alarm used to have features to catch this, they'd detect when a process tried to invoke or open a running process which had internet access. They'd also do things like detect when a process tried to write a startup item. This went by names like "Leak Control" but it was basically providing near-complete HIDS features with local control.

If you're moving those kind of speeds you're probably not doing packet filtering in software.

Headscale also offers a relay server of its own.

Very quickly you'll find this doesn't work. Your DC will just null your IP. You'll switch to a new one and the attackers will too, the DC will null that one. You won't win at this game unless you're a very sizeable organization or are just willing to wait the attackers out, they will get bored eventually.

One of these things is much easier to burn or otherwise tamper with.

This seems absolutely silly, it's not hard to take a photo of a photo and there's both analog (building a lightbox) and digital (modifying the sensor input) means which would make this entirely trivial to spoof.

It's largely equivalent here - you're just exposing something via a tunnel rather than directly via your home IP.

That could have benefits, for example, if you're concerned about a DDoS attack on that service taking your home internet out, you may be able to work around it like this. But it won't mitigate a gaping hole in the underlying service which you're still exposing.

It could also have drawbacks, like limited bandwidth and higher latency, which would make it highly unsuitable for something like a game server.

Site has now turned into a wordpress installer?

There are indeed software firewalls on Android that use the VPN functionality to implement something like this so they don't even require root, I believe Glasswire offers one.

is probably pretty safe.

You can basically run Windows 3.1 in dosbox on a potato now, so the hardware really isn't even a problem. If any of this was actually true...

Disappointing to hear considering the limitations of CRLs - is there any intention to go forward with OCSP stapling or is that completely abandoned at this point?

I used to feel the same way about Plex til they started flooding my less savvy family with ads for their own content and useless features unrelated to what they want to do. Really not impressed by that one. I realized how bad it was when I got a call about a broken movie I didn't even have.

Plex still seems slicker than Jellyfin in some ways but after that experience I'd certainly consider a switch. Offline is the only reason I still use plex, but their offline setup is pretty buggy too.

eink display strapped to a cheap android tablet and a pile of marketing hype.

Once people realize how the display randomly leaves old junk on the screen and requires a manual refresh to fix and the software is a barely modified from stock AOSP let alone has sufficient modifications to make use with this screen possible, this will be right behind the Rabbit R1 and that stupid AI pin as worst product of the year.

The level of effort and obviousness of an email reset is nothing compared to helping someone figure out how to reconfigure every smart device ever made.

> And here I am, avoiding downloading things on cell service because it might negatively impact other people around me.

You paid for that service, they should be able to provide it to you. If it negatively impacts other users, that's the provider's fault.

Even when driving the best Google maps can do is avoid highways. OsmAnd is great but it doesn't solve the routing issue to my knowledge. If you know of something that solves that one please let me know.

How do you properly investigate a performance, stability or security issue in your production environment in that scenario? Perhaps logs are enough for some things, but unless you have massive replay infrastructure and a complete duplicate of all data running live, you'll have some serious challenges there, and investigating a security issue with that sort of setup sounds like a nightmare to me. "DB got dumped last week and we just wiped all the evidence with this mornings deployment".

I actually ran across this issue myself, SIGQUIT'd the process, loaded it into a debugger and found the exact same problem. I can confirm the problem still exists on QNX 7.1. Fortunately we were moving off it, so I didn't think much more about it, but glad someone wrote it up.

RustDesk has been pretty good for something that's 1:1 comparable, but for most cases ssh or rdp is preferable.

If you want a nicer presentation, try ncdu.

Largely depends on your priorities and level of effort.

You can bypass all current app checks using Magisk and Play Integrity Fix, but it's a bit of work to maintain and can break occasionally. You gain in this case full control of your device like a desktop OS, block ads, modify app behavior, disable unwanted system features, but you have to put in effort to maintain it.

However if you don't want to deal with that, you can also just not use those apps, use it like you would a Librem or PinePhone, load primarily open source software to it, optionally don't even bother with play store, etc. Might not be for everyone, but if you don't care that much for Google Wallet or multi-player games on your phone, it's not a bad option.

Stop using a Mac. I still run Windows 95 apps on Windows 11 without issue.

You could probably achieve better here by providing fake weak credentials and then getting an actual human to connect and check out the honeypot on as many IPs as possible.

Yeah and the main editing component is Scintilla, also C++.

Delete the social networks, work with real people and all of a sudden things become a lot less extreme.
