Firefox's QuantumBar is amazing stuff! One of the main features why I'm sticking with the browser. Makes it super comfy.

Some time back I wrote on it as well, along with some extra goodies: https://timvisee.com/blog/firefox-tricks-quantumbar/

I use container tabs in Firefox to mitigate this. I have a "Garbage" container which unauthenticated YouTube.

When I search something that I suspect will affect my feed in a bad way, I'll open it up in the container.

The same can be done with a private tab, this just works a bit better.

They also stream on Twitch: https://twitch.tv/shuttle_dev

So what is the new hip keyboard for Android? Ps, I don't like Gboard.

Not fun!

Using a custom ROM? I'm running LineageOS with minimal Google Apps.

I still use my OnePlus 5 which is now (almost) 5 years old! It has 8GB of memory with Android 13 and a custom ROM.

It's still faster than some phones that are released today.

I agree though that some apps are extremely resource intensive for the sometimes seemingly things they have to do.

I believe iCloud uses Google's cloud as storage backend.

This is exactly what I meant, and isn't something "accidental".

This is the same browser that did the opposite before: injecting their own referral parameter in links.

I usually get more than 10 hours out of it, running Ubuntu. I think that's great.

> TikTok, when will you finally learn?

No. Users, when will you finally learn?

The article mentions secur{e,ity} 8 times. Seems excessive. This will be secure for sure! /s

Containers are fantastic! Must have when developing/testing webapps with different user accounts, using a few containers.

Miles better than juggling with other browsers or incognito mode.

The difference is that you'd also have to own the password store, rather than having to know about the hashing algorithm (which is open).

No! This is bad from a security perspective based on entropy.

Passwords generated here still have the exact same entropy as the input secret. In fact, you might even decrease entropy based on the length selected.

Entering a website, username and length doesn't increase the actual entropy, because you should consider these as known.

If users go about and use the same (basic) secret, which I imagine is a common practice, all their hashed generated passwords can be considered the same.

Users must ideally choose a different secret for every account, in which case a tool like this becomes obsolete.

Doing a large number of hash rounds has zero effect on actual security here.

What to do then? Generate a true random password for each instance. You can store those in a proper password manager.

Thanks for mentioning prs [1], dev here! :)

Yeah it definitely meets those requirements, being written in Rust, supporting pass, TOTP, Tombs amongst other things out of the box.

Though its CLI is slightly different than classic pass. That is on purpose in fact, to achieve a better UX and less ambiguous commands.

Can this be (safely) used without an Apple developer account or signing a contract?

I don't understand why this isn't mentioned in the README. I wonder how they compare!

I must admit, I love 'Linux evenings'. I learn so so much in them.

I did something similar and counted from the end, to make much bigger jumps!

Maybe a bit less neat in the binary sense, but definitely very fast.

I just received the updated packages!

I experience the same. I mostly stopped with web development because of this, and get a lot more satisfaction out of static pages, because it is so simple (and fast!).

Yes! This is the case for me. I have a hard time remembering exact things, but have very goed understanding of their concepts.

A blocker like uBlock Origin does much more than DNS level blocking. There are many cases where that isn't enough.

How is this any different with everything that is stored in iCloud?

Another falsehood: Users use the same email address on different services.

A lot of companies don't support addresses with a '+' in them. I'm really surprised by this because this doesn't seem to be super uncommon.

There's also companies that don't allow some words in email addresses. For example, on AliExpress, you can't use 'aliexpress' in your address.

DuckDuckGo removing trackers. The company that had a hidden deal with Microsoft for tracking.
