nargek··on Ask HN: Crooked Timber showed showed me a virus captcha, What now?
> How do you protect yourself ?

As a "end-user" one of the most effective way is to either disable js, which isn't the most practical thing for most of us. You can also use ublock-origin, it doesn't only block ads! You can also throw a lying-DNS in the chain, either by using something like Quad9 or a local resolver with appropriate blocklists (think of unbound or for a more user-friendly solution piehole)

Also an anti-virus can help detect the usual stealer that will be dropped by these FakeCaptcha/ClickFix attack, but they are also easily bypassed, that's why you need multiple layers of protection : each of them can and will fail

nargek··on Some more things about Django I've been enjoying
Appart from the fact that you find that Python wastes too much memory, what is your point ? I think that any person choosing Django knows that Python by nature will not be the most efficient language. Apart from that Django is battle-tested and can help bring a stable "product" quite quickly.
nargek··on Ditching Vagrant: VMs with KVM and Virsh on Debian
I might be wrong since it has been a long time since i used WSL, but i think that WSL2 uses 9P for mounting between the VM and the host.

It is an extreme point of view, it's just that far right is booming everywhere.

Stop whining against public health and a bit of vitamin B9 in your tortillas
nargek··on KDE's new Plasma Login Manager is tightly bound to systemd
> We are not sure where you folks are getting your info, but it is dead wrong.

> FreeBSD users will still be able to boot into Plasma with any other login manager that works on FreeBSD, including SDDM, which is upstream from Plasma anyway.

> Linux users will just have one more option.

> Plasma has no hard systemd dependencies.

nargek··on KDE celebrates the 29th birthday and kicks off the yearly fundraiser
I find that Gnome opiniated workflow can easily get in my way. KDE feels more natural and it really grew on me after using it for quite some times.
nargek··on 'Unprecedented' alerts in France as blistering heat grips Europe
AFAIK the top of UPS trucks are mainly translucent just to allow light to shine through, so that you don't have to light up the cargo part of the truck. The cooling part doesn't seems too effective.
nargek··on Tutanota is now Tuta
As stated by Le Monde[1] Kohlchan was hosted on OvO Systems, which was owned by Vincent Canfield. If you can't read the end of the article due to the paywall, you can use the reader mode of Firefox. You can also see that cock.li is hosted on OvO Systems on the footer.

nargek··on Tutanota is now Tuta
Ah yes the alt-right paradise. "@hitler.rocks" and "@nuke.africa" are really nice domain to have :) The administrator of cock.lu also famously hosted with oVo systems some more than sketchy boards.

nargek··on Google AMP – The Newest of Evasive Phishing Tactic
Multiples reasons actually.

1. To bypass your corporate proxy (ok, not the best reason);

2. urlscan also allows you to pivot easily and find the same phishing kit as they have a nice database of scans;

3. urlscan also allows you to see the website from different proxies, which can be useful if there is geofencing.

It isn't that simple and threat actors are far from being dumb :)

nargek··on Dt: Duck tape for your Unix pipes
Straight from the link :

> Excuse me, is it "duct" or "duck" tape?

> I mean sure, "duct tape" and "duck tape" are both fine. "Duct tape" is the more common name today. The older name is "duck tape" after the duck cloth under the adhesive.

nargek··on Tusky has been removed from the Play Store
Not tolerating xenophobia, racism and bigots in general is a big point for a lot of people. The paradox of tolerance is something that many people should consider.
nargek··on Annoying website features I face as a blind person
At the end it looks the "same" for a normal user. Semantics in html is butchered a lot (remember the alignment with tabs ?)
nargek··on Heyyyyyyyyyyyy.com
Yeah this is the edgy far-right hiding behind "free speach"

Easily ? You don't, with the most common azerty keyboard you have to use : Ctrl+Alt+7 Shift+A. That's why there is a new standard for azerty keyboard the "NF Z 71-300" that is better with accent and stuff like æ,œ,Æ,Œ,«» etc.
