You can achieve the same result on Firefox without any extention (and maybe Chrome too). To do so have use "Custom Keywords"[0], which kind of allow you to change the behaviour of your search bar. For example, one of my keywords is "rd", and typing "rd my search" in my search bar launch a search on Google with "my search site:reddit.com".

I've seen people doing really cool things using these custom keywords and JS, I don't know if it is very practical but the possibilities are endless.

> The most trusted open source password manager for business

I expected a blog article with actual feedbacks from companies and data, but ended up on bitwarden.com main page.

Baseless claims can be quite common when it comes to marketing, but I'm genuinely curious: which password manager is used in your workplace, if any?

I've personally never seen in my (for now short) career anything else than Keepass.

I read that you can achieve similar results with uBlock Origin, but I indeed ended up using uBlacklist as you can block websites on the go and because it supports multiple search engines. It is working perfectly, one more reason to use FF I guess.

French is my mother tongue, but I've quickly learned during my studies that using English keywords in my STEM-related searches would simply lead me to better (and more abundant) results.

A few weeks/months ago however, while I was trying to solve an issue whith a colleague who would search using french keywords, I noticed that some websites featured on the first page of the Google results were off.

In short, they were machine-translated versions of Stack Overflow threads. And they would appear in most of the searches using french keywords.

Those websites also appeared rarely in my searches while I was using English keywords, but most of the time I never bothered opening them. But now I notice them every time.

Some examples: When searching for "wget set http proxy" on Google, the fourth result leads me to qastack.fr, and the ninth to it-swarm-fr.com, both are websites featuring scrapped and machine-translated threads from Stack Overflow.

When searching deliberately in french for "Eclipse CDT stdout ne s'affiche pas" ("Eclipse CDT stdout not displayed [in console]"), the first result leads me to askcodez.com and the fourth one to qastack.fr (askodez is the same as the other two).

I have never stumbled upon Github clones, yet, however.

Performing 51% attacks in the hope of discrediting an asset would be a waste of resources. Such an attack on the Bitcoin ecosystem would nowadays cost several billion in hardware and electricity, and all the community has to do in order to repair the damage would be a hark fork. 51% attacks happened in the past and most of them had little to no impact on major assets.

It should be reasonably safe to store database files on various cloud storages. If you are not willing to do so, it is also possible to keep them on flash drives at your relatives' homes.

> while Migadu may be a Swiss company, the data centers where the mails are hosted were in France

> So the situation is somewhat comparable (not entirely though) to Fastmail being an Australian company with data centers in the U.S. being used

I don't know if it is a good comparison, as European countries (France included) are subject to GDPR, which does not really have an equivalent in the U.S.

From the FAQ at the bottom of the project showcase page[0]:

"GitHub Copilot is a code synthesizer, not a search engine: the vast majority of the code that it suggests is uniquely generated and has never been seen before. We found that about 0.1% of the time, the suggestion may contain some snippets that are verbatim from the training set. Here is an in-depth study[1] on the model’s behavior. Many of these cases happen when you don’t provide sufficient context (in particular, when editing an empty file), or when there is a common, perhaps even universal, solution to the problem. We are building an origin tracker to help detect the rare instances of code that is repeated from the training set, to help you make good real-time decisions about GitHub Copilot’s suggestions."

This is only true for ASIC miners, ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) are pieces of hardware designed to do very specific things - e.g. mining crypto currencies. When these cards become obsolete or aren't profitable anymore, trashing them is almost the only thing you can do.

On the other side, GPUs, even if they are not profitable anymore to crypto currency miners, can still be used afterwards or sold back.

It may depend on the services. A few years ago I lost an old email account, a hotmail one, because it was flagged for being potentially compromised. An account flagged as so has its password wiped and you have to reset it by following a link that is sent to your recovery email address.

Somehow, and I don't know how my 10yo-self managed to do this, but the account's mail and the recovery mail were the same, so I wasn't able to recover my account this way.

The only alternative was to fill up a form with your full name, date of birth (probably lied about it at this time), passwords you may have used for this account, people to whom I had sent emails (I only used it to register to websites)...

I have never been able to do a "perfect score" to this test monitored only by robots. Now my account, from what I've read online, is probably disabled forever due to a 2 years inactivity.
