No one. Sadly!

I assumed it to mean, what with GH being owned by Microsoft, it’s now in the extinguish phase of EEE (embrace, extend, extinguish). Though if anything I think it’s in the extend phase.

What did it say? I know Starling mailed customers.

Try long pressing to see history.

What ads ?

The HN title is misleading as it was actually upgraded from Debian 8 "Jessie" to Bullseye.

Debian 8 "jessie" support reached its end-of-life on June 30, 2020, five years after its initial release on April 26, 2015.

However that does mean it was potentially vulnerable to critical vulnerabilities for more than two years whilst world+dog used it to download PuTTY for secure access to their servers. Eek

Would be good to know how this was managed if at all.

Also see https://objective-see.org/ and their LuLu tool if you're on MacOS.

I read this after it coming to my attention via the hit TV show 'Person of Interest'. Really liked it (and the TV show).

Forge is the general term for Git service providers such as gitlab, GitHub, sourcehut, bitbucket et al

From the blog post:

"By specification, its default 512 block size has had to remain unchanged for decades. Today, this tiny size makes it CPU bound by default. A script that doesn’t specify a block size is very inefficient, and any script that picks the current optimal value may slowly become obsolete — or start obsolete if it’s copied from "

Is there a reason why GitHub don’t make it easy in 2022 to write nice commit messages? Larger boxes, visual cues for character length, non default commit messages such as ‘Updated doc blah’ which are useless.

Lots at our place solely use the GitHub UI to edit Markdown files mainly and their messages are typically the least useful for that reason.

Mobile applications require various permissions which can be enforced via SELinux.

SELinux policy can also be written to mitigate many vulnerabilities and vulnerability classes/vectors. Over 40% [1] of Android users may no longer be receiving important security updates, potentially putting them at risk of malware, data loss and cyber attacks.

Seems to make sense to have it enabled on Android based on the above.

Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is a security architecture for Linux systems that allows administrators to have more control over who can access the system. It was originally developed by the NSA.

Secure Boot and SIP are about boot integrity preventing malware early on in the boot process [1]

I use objective-see’s app Oversight [1] for MacOS.

OverSight monitors a mac's mic and webcam, alerting the user when the internal mic is activated, or whenever a process accesses the webcam.

Have found it very useful whilst using videoconferencing apps.

You can run it using something like psexec sysinternals tool or Process Hacker. But it’s not something someone would likely do by accident and it’s a bit orchestrated/non-obvious.

Is there anything that must be done to take advantage of these new AEAD ciphers on an existing repo/archive ? Or is it all under the hood and transparent to the end user?

Firefox for iOS apparently.

[UPDATE] although reading the replies, it looks like that appears to work. Can’t confirm as don’t use Firefox on iOS.

I guess because you have to extract it to local file system in order to use it and that makes it exposed.

Is there a Little Snitch/open snitch/Lulu type tool for Clipboard access?

Was news to me!

Or is an Oracle DBA

Well done you for not letting that bad experience put you off.

Did you re-install and continue with Slackware after that?

This might be a better link http://www.slackware.com/announce/15.0.php

Kudos to Patrick!

You can passively share albums on a number of platforms. Why would you email them actively?

As you say, that’s a bit weird.

Well it’s no longer the in thing, and TikTok is the new kid on the block. In the UK kids think FaceBook is for old people and use Snapchat and TikTok.

Why use FB for that and not a picture sharing site, just out of interest?

“ Our Lisp services are conceptually a classical AI application that operates on huge piles of knowledge created by linguists and researchers. It’s mostly a CPU-bound program, and it is one of the biggest consumers of computing resources in our network.”

So what I’d like to know, is would a modern “AI” approach (ML/DL) based on literature samples as input, as opposed to classical AI sitting atop an expert system/linguistic knowledge, fair any better if you were starting, say, Grammarly today?

That said, I enjoyed the article and it’s nice to have an example of Lisp being used in prod. My only experience of it is from using elisp.

What are the differences between elisp and lisp?

And supports off-line navigation IIRC.

So how about OsmAnd[0] ?

Supports fully offline mobile navigation.
