I would never opt-in to ads even if there was some upside. That's like asking if I'd like to see billboards on a beautiful drive through Colorado and in return you'll throw some change in my center console. I'll just take the beautiful drive and you can keep the cash.

I think everyone's been around the internet long enough to know that nothing is private forever and everything has leaks. Relevant: https://twitter.com/briankrebs/status/1045091640480804864

And it's only going to get worse.

Was really hoping to see multi-core in 3.8, looks like we'll be waiting until 3.9

That's awesome. It seems that Qbasic inspired many, it being included with 95, 98, and Me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QBasic#History

I'm a senior cyber security engineer and also a polygot :) Video games sound more fun, I still make some in my free time.

It was also a pure accident that I started programming at all. This was 2007, I had inherited an old Windows 95 computer that was recycled from my Mom's law office where she was a paralegal. She let me rig it up in my bedroom as a teenager and I somehow discovered it came with QBasic 1.1 installed on it. I didn't know anyone who coded or programmed, and I learned everything from browsing around Pete's. I later discovered Python from the same forum, and well- I'm still coding 12 years later.

I posted some of the first code I ever wrote on these forums: http://www.petesqbsite.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=2357

I recovered it on some old hard drives a few years ago and backed it up here: https://github.com/vesche/snippets/tree/master/qbasic

Loved these forums as a young kid with nothing more than a windows 95 computer and a QBASIC interpreter.

Gotcha! I skimmed too fast. I'm all for it then.

This would be really neat. However, it might confuse or complicate some tools output (like netstat) that use the standard 0.0.0.0:80 style listening notation. That is if 0.0.0.0 becomes a valid address.

Clickbait, tl;dr no implants in the curtains

Sounds like you just don't like Python, but you don't have great reasons for not liking it. The standard library is fantastic in Python. Find better reasons to back up your unfounded dislike.

The whole point of Firefox _is_ to make network requests. All of the features above aren't leaking your user data or fingerprinting you, they're assisting you in what the applications purpose is... to make network requests. Not to mention firefox is an open-source project, so you could go look at all the network communication it makes when it starts up. All of these options are configurable anyways.

I think you're looking in the wrong direction. Try the closed-source (or partial closed source) operating systems you interact with on a daily basis: Windows, Android, macOS, iOS- that's where you'll find the "fingerprinted and tracked every single time you open" sort of thing you speak of. :)

LIDAR is really cool. The coolest use I know of is that a man named Steve Elkins used it in Honduras to discover lost ancient archaeological sites a few years ago. If you're interested read The Lost City of the Monkey God, it will blow your hair back.

AFAIK the Kali kernel is Debian unstable modified to allow wireless tools like aircrack-ng suite to do injection and other fun things. So it's just as insecure as any bleeding edge nix, the risk factor really depends on what packages you install and services you run. I wouldn't really recommend it as a daily driver either, but I also wouldn't frown on someone who does.

Or how about "nginext"

Can we blacklist Huffington Post here? The large majority of their articles are low effort garbage. Also, is this website load terrible on mobile for anyone else?

I instantly thought of this video as well. Definitely an extraordinary human. Sadly, he passed away a few years ago. Warning, here be feels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnouXX1meso

You severely need a splash of the real world.

Oh dear, I got played.

PM address if you want the beer, you sly dog. Obligatory, I'm a normal dude: http://vesche.github.io/

Edit: Wait, you can't PM on here... PM on reddit /u/vesche

Nah, let's make that 10 lines: https://gist.github.com/vesche/72dafed33d614710f03f1b75cff1c...

I got a beer for anyone who can golf it under 5 lines

And I'm just still sittin' here waiting for Jai: https://inductive.no/jai/

Aw snap, the gold rush is real..

Finally a John Carmack post that isn't on Facebook! Great read too, can't wait to see more.

Flask & SQLite running behind an Apache reverse proxy on an AWS Ubuntu server.

Are people here really using 1.1.1.1 as a DNS server...? Do people here _really_ think that Cloudflare isn't giving your data away to _someone_? I have been using DNS servers from OpenNIC for sometime now, and I will continue to.

It's not a public service, it's self-hosted.

I've been using Gogs for a team of 40 people for over two years. This is the second time I've heard about Gitea, and I know it is a popular fork of Gogs. Can anyone sell me on why it's better than Gogs and why I should switch?

It would be cool if you could search by language.
