Apple's products? This is not about them
sahkopoyta··on GitHub will require 2FA by the end of 2023
That is such a strange comment considering that there is nothing that requires you to use specifically phone as your 2fa provider. For example I'm very happy with my self hosted Bitwarden (Vaultwarden).

>You're not supposed to visualize this data directly -- instead, you combine those values in a simple formula to obtain a height value, then you use that value to create visual maps.

sahkopoyta··on Mozilla's Firefox Relay to be added to disposable-email-domains blacklist
Ok my bad gmail was not a good example. Lets go with outlook account then. Just tried and it definitely doesn't need phone number. And I wouldn't consider outlook disposable platform.
sahkopoyta··on Mozilla's Firefox Relay to be added to disposable-email-domains blacklist
I don't really get this. Where do you draw the line between disposable and non-disposable email? What prevents anyone from creating <random string>@gmail.com addresses?
sahkopoyta··on Dura is a background process that watches your Git repositories
"including me-a-few-years-ago". This also applies to me, sometimes you have to learn the hard way. I would say that in this scenario addressing the root cause is better than treating the symptoms.

Seems like a nice tool, but if you really used git, I don't really see how this situation described at the readme.md could happen :-)

  you think you just lost days of work
sahkopoyta··on To opt out of Google Analytics you have to install a browser extension
Yes but you get some context instead of just download link

sahkopoyta··on Diffsitter: A tree-sitter based AST difftool to get meaningful semantic diffs

sahkopoyta··on Bitcoin miners are buying power plants
Not GPUs specifically but shortage of chips as a whole is causing some problems
sahkopoyta··on GitHub investigating crypto-mining campaign abusing its server infrastructure
AFAIK, I don't think OOM-killer would help too much. Calculating hashes is not very memory intensive job
sahkopoyta··on Emacs org-mode examples and cookbook (2017)
Yes they are, for me that exact snippet is fine
sahkopoyta··on Supercookie: Browser Fingerprinting via Favicon
Yeah, I for one have never heard about someone doing this.
