My girlfriend and I did the math too last Saturday. Not that it's difficult but doing math together just to order pizza... She's great :)

It's light out. Hackers are not awake during the day. Please report yourself to the scriptkiddie police :P

Did you agree to this beforehand?

This is why fighting spam is hard: you can't even rely on people to label spam as spam. I thought developers, of all people, should understand the difference between 'unhelpful' and actual 'spam'.

Asking more specific questions.

There is a module for the Xposed framework that does this.

Or use an app like Linux Deploy and apt-get youtube-dl.

Those are the two methods I've used. There also used to be third party apps but they usually suck or don't look very trustworthy, even if I didn't catch it doing anything wrong (no address book access, no ads... Idk just a bad feeling).

That... that never happened to me. Every morning while biking to work I'd try to remember, wtf did I do yesterday. Then still manage to forget big things that I thought of earlier that morning.

@toosharchadha I agree that something else might be much more user friendly, but it was a good hope that website owners would want to avoid needing a banner and thus would move towards more privacy-friendly means of keeping statistics (which is all most website owners ever do with the data anyway).

By now it's abundantly clear that this is not the case and other solutions might be better, but I have yet to hear a proposal that makes both my user mind and privacy mind happier than they are with the current situation.

@Letmecode yep, I'm familiar with clients having that impression. They usually understand why it's not necessary after a few sentences, even if I can't squeeze in education about avoiding sites with such banners.

Actually... The cookie banner tells you a website wants to do invasive tracking, like building a preference profile for better advertisements. Functional cookies, like login or returning visitor counting, do not need consent.

I too thought it was a stupid idea to have to warn for cookies, a sign politicians didn't understand jack shit of technology, but it turns out I was wrong and the (tech) media are portraying it wrong too. Almost everyone has this misconception :/

I mean, this forum is filled with people that like their privacy online, yet no comment here is positive of a law that demands people be warned. The law never even mentions cookies specifically, it's about tagging devices with identifiers for privacy-invading tracking, just like stalking in real life is illegal without consent.

@filthyranter Use one with a rolling release, like Debian Stretch or Arch Linux.

Basically you get packages whenever they're updated, so you never upgrade the whole system.

And for what it's worth, upgrading Windows hasn't been much of a success for me. I'm on Debian testing for two or three years now and it has yet to break.

My only experience is that it has been on my too-expensive wishlist :(

Came here to say schadenfreude but looks like I'm third in line!

The USB thing, right?

@resdac in Arriva tcp poorten 22, 8005, 8006 firewalled. 80, 2510, 3128, 3129, 7001, 8000, 8001, 8080 open. Alle andere connection refused. Gekke open poorten, maar die je voorstelde hebben ze nu in ieder geval gefirewalled :(

@linuxxx Datacollectie weet ik uit mijn hoofd niet, dat moet je even nakijken. Signal is daar ook wel uitzonderlijk goed in.

@linuxxx Google services zijn gefirewalled op m'n telefoon en GCM is een dependency van Signal dus dat werkt helaas niet (jaren geleden gemeld, was toen een wontfix... twee weken nog eens geprobeerd maar zelfde situatie).

Wire is ook e2e encrypted by default, heeft open source clients en server, heeft chatten en videobellen, en heeft plannen voor een verdienmodel dat niet advertenties is. Ook wel goed voor privacy :). Je hoeft het niet speciaal voor mij aan te maken, maar ik vind Wire best cool en ze zijn nog nieuw dus heel weinig mensen weten ervan, dus vandaar :p

@da9ish at least they don't ignore self!

@linuxxx Ik zelf kom uit Limburg, werk nu net daarbuiten bij een security bedrijf als consultant. Specifieker dan dat is de werkgever af te leiden en dat is minder handig. Ik zou een PB sturen maar dat kan hier niet, heb jij misschien Twitter/Telegram/Wire/IRC/email? Geldt overigens ook voor anderen die het leuk lijkt om contact te leggen of benieuwd zijn of we elkaar kennen :)

@resdac Zit er niet vaak in, maar zal ik eens doen, thanks voor de tip. Mijn top voted rant is relevant overigens :p

Rooting it is the solution to a lot of things. For me, I'd have had to buy a new one a long time ago but due to proper process management (I can tweak it now) my 5 year old battery still lasts a day of quite heavy use and apps run quick enough. Clearing caches or temporarily moving data directories around is another advantage.

People usually bring up that it has security issues and yes, it circumvents the permissions system, but it's the same on your computer and you get a prompt when a new app requests root so only allowed apps can use the root functions. I've rooted mine (and this was my first Android) in the first week and can't imagine living without. It doesn't void warranty either since you're not touching the hardware and so it can't cause manufacturing defects (which is what warranty covers).

@linuxxx @Pelle Oeh nederlanse leet haxxors? Klein wereldje is dat in NL, misschien kennen we elkaar. Ben aan het denken hoe hier een zero-knowledge proof gedaan kan worden maar kan zo snel niks bedenken :P

@Kro9k Asus though. Got an anti-glare Thinkpad which is somehow just as bad or worse.

Vim over ssh(fs)? Or send yourself messages on Telegram with hashtags. But then I don't take many notes, usually I just store them locally.

I don't care as long as it has a command mode to navigate so I don't have to move my wrist to use the arrow keys or mouse.

Basically that means Vim. But Visual Studio with a vim keybindings plugin for a semester-long internship was quite okay as well. It's not about elitist terminal-only stuff, it's just very comfortable to work with a command mode for editing (as opposed to insert mode).

I feel like if I came in at 22 and took a COBOL job, I'd be paid hardly anything more than I would for a normal language. The fact that they earn so much is probably due to their age and years of work experience as much as due to short supply.

Then again, supply gets lower and lower as people retire... Maybe it will be a good time investment 55 years after COBOL went out of style, even if only so you can read and rewrite it in another language, like Perl :p

So I'm not the only one who did this!

The best part is that I had it running for a long time on the desktop and was meanwhile working on my laptop. Completely forgot about it. Teacher started a staring match when he saw, clearly expecting me to talk. After a while I said something about what I was doing (iirc homework for another subject, not sure) since I'd finished the assignment for this one. He continued to stare, not saying anything and after a while I figured I might as well continue then, so I turned back and continued working. The teacher then continued back to his desk.

... It took 10 minutes for me to notice my desktop screen again. Suddenly it all clicked. He, also a sysadmin, must have figured "if something's wrong with that system, I know who did it". Nothing was wrong, it was just :start\ntree\ngoto start (in two windows to cover the full screen).

Never saw anyone else do this out of boredom, cool to see this here :D

Use classes when there can be more than one element!

.girlfriend {
max-width: 72pt;
padding-bottom: 7cm;
color: #fff;
}

.jail {
border: 19px solid concrete;
cellspacing: none;
border-collapse: hell yeah;
}

Tor browser solves many silly policies. We don't run relays for nothin'!

Or 41 if it's trademarked.
