Why have hobbies when someone else can do it better?

I don't believe you're correct. It seems like the option that Debian decided on _will_ remove those features for users who are upgrading a package.

Users who already have the keypassxc package will need to explicitly switch packages if they want the full one. That's not the same behaviour as described in my quote comment.

That does allow you to change the default for users installing the packages and while ensuring that users who already have it installed don't lose functionality during an upgrade.

I think the solution suggested by drawks seems clearly the correct choice:

> I think the proper solution would probably be to package both a "-full" and "-minimal" version of the software and utilize Debian package meta-data fields to define a Conflicts relationship between the packages and tag them also both with a Provides for keepassxc and also add a tag Replaces: keepassxc to the -full build so that during a package upgrade an existing user would be provided the version that continues to provide the features of the package which is being upgraded/replaced while new users can choose for themselves which of the versions they'd like to install

Why would this _not_ be the obvious choice?

The company was founded by Americans, too, and throughout its history it's almost always had strong ties to the US.

Beatrice Forms does this using photogrammetry:

As someone who has worked with a very wide variety of languages, libraries, and frameworks over my career, I have encountered this and the inverse nearly every time I've learned a new language.

Most languages with some amount of popularity have at least a handful of features that I wish other languages did as well and that can feel, at least in the moment, to be completely obvious and critical features that every language needs.

Yeah, I generally do _not_ like programming-oriented ligatures, but the one for todo is sort of interesting.

However, many editors can accomplish the same goal by highlighting or changing the text colour of todos.

I'm a fan of heat pumps, but as a Canadian living in the UK I think the _first_ steps should be things like finding and patching up drafts, using double-glazed windows with low-e coatings, and improving insulation.

Those will let you get the most out of an efficient heat pump.

You can probably buy "draft sticks" or something similar. They put out a little bit of smoke that you can use to find the source of your worst drafts so you can get them sealed.

Yeah, given how dry our place gets in winter the added humidity is not a problem.

If I took baths every day then it might become a problem but once a week or so had had no negative effects.

In the winter I always leave my tub full and the bathroom door open after taking a hot bath to allow more of the heat to warm my home.

I paid to heat that water up, so I damn well want to get as much out of it as I can.

The O.MG cable is designed specifically for covert USB exploits against mobile devices:

The O.MG cable proves that there are widespread vulnerabilities to exploit.

The fact that this hasn't been exploited in the wild much is good, but doesn't mean that the advice is wrong. Unless the vulnerabilities themselves are all patched it _will_ be exploited in the wild eventually.

Are there any foss, self-hostable tools that can at least approach the effectiveness of cloudflare's various security and anti-ddos features?

If there was a relatively turn-key solution that people could deploy it might help wean people off of cloudflare.

If you are riding with good posture and awareness it you can run out and roll from a one-wheel.

You might not be able fully "run it out" given the speed, but every step you take when bailing is a good thing and rolling out after you take a few steps will help as well.

At the end of the day, it's obviously going to be more dangerous than a bike or a scooter, though. My issues with future motion is more to do with their extremely poor response to design flaws, though.

I think that riding at more reasonable speeds and riding with focus and awareness is still reasonable, but the faults we've seen add hidden risks that are difficult to address as a rider.

All countries _are_ ultimately run on human hearts.

ZFS already includes all the functionality and commands you would need for replication—you _could_ do it yourself with snapshot, bookmark, send, and receive—but Zrepl is such a great way to define/manage it that it's always on my list of must-have ZFS tools.

My pinecil hits 350-400°C in a matter of seconds with a 65W PSU.

It can use type-c _or_ a barrel-jack DC adaptor.

> Imagine if every story about a US company mentioned started with, "The new startup, which is based in the United States (home of Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy)..."

If Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy founded a company together then your headline would make sense, but I don't understand why this would compare to anything the author of this article wrote.

Ironically one of the areas it _is_ being used successfully is in delivery of blood to some areas in Rwanda, but they're using fixed-wing drones and are even doing slingshot launches. [1]

The economics are totally different, though. The "product" is very high value and has a short shelf life, so being able to deliver it quickly is a big benefit.

On top of that, using a fixed-wing delivery vehicle and launching it with a human-powered slingshot makes it actually reasonably energy-efficient.

Yes, exactly. It's only BS because you have to pay more, I don't think they made any other changes.

It can be rational and still be BS.

That's quite the rebuttal to an argument I didn't make.

I was neither supporting nor opposing the idea of disabling the ability to use S3 publicly. While I agree with the new default I would not support removal of the feature.

You pay egress fees either way but the Cloudfront fees are lower.

I believe Cloudfront also still has a free tier which cuts out egress fees on the first X GB of data.

You could still do that with Cloudfront. It's simple to configure but makes it a deliberate action and not something that could be done accidentally.

There are a lot of different standards out there and the security differs widely between them, in some cases a name, number, and expiry are all you need to make a purchase.

When testing with my own cards, I was able to read card number, expiry, and currency which is enough in many countries for it to be considered a card skimmer.

The official firmware prevents some readable data from being displayed, but it's true that people can read some additional CC data with alternative firmware.

News about news battery chemistry is interesting, but it's not meaningfully correlated with our ability to produce practical batteries at scale.

If there are existing manufacturing processes that can be leveraged to build cells with this chemistry—and do so economically—then commercialization could happen very rapidly.

Otherwise, it's likely to be filled away until future manufacturing technology comes along, which may be "too late" if even better or more economical options exist at that point.
