So the De-Cix Frankfurt operater sued the german secret service (BND) for taping into the traffic.

They are apparently trying to exclude Traffic from german citizens by filtering for .de domains... Because id never browse any fucking other websites! And not every german website uses .de domains.

The Government justifies this by saying ""If the calculated reference value (Amount of data collected) is increased only strongly enough, the BND (...) can monitor 100 percent of the traffic it really wants (" full take ")."
("Wenn die rechnerische Bezugsgröße nur stark genug erhöht wird, kann der BND (...) den von ihm wirklich gewünschten Verkehr zu 100 Prozent überwachen ("Full Take").")

When will they fucking learn, that mass surveillance is a fucking bad idea?

Just spent like ten minutes searching why my api always returned false.
I forgot, that I am using Java and therefore cant compare strings using equal signs 🤦‍♂️

So I just discovered an awesome feature provided by my mobile provider for only 0.99€ per month.

Yeah, Deep Packet Inspection is only 0.99 extra.

Why should I pay my provider for watching my traffic? Sure, they allert me when downloading viruses, but that is a lame excuse, especially for mobile use.

Good friend of mine asked me if he could use my mobile Hotspot with his laptop.
Told him to make sure his windows updates are turned off.

He is using Windows 10 and 30 minutes in he hasn't even managed to pause / cancel the current download...

So that happened. Don't want to be the responsible for leaking my company's private key.

Just noticed this while talking to someone not familiar with js and node development.

Coworker just tried to center an http form using this:
<p text-align: Center"> form here </p>

or

<p margin-right: auto"> form here </p>

The sad thing is, that he is working on websites for more than half a year now...

Creating unit test files, but being to lazy to write the actual tests and then giving up creating the files as well.

That moment when you notice that you haven't saved one file and this caused all the problems... 2 hours down the drain

I am searching for a dev notebook. I just need something mobile for developing on the go (up to 400€ if possible) Any ideas/experiences/tips?

Probably my dad. He encouraged me to experiment with the computer really early. He got me a c++ book (I know, the best language to start :D) and we sat down in the evenings programming together.

My drunk me likes browsing devRant

#define double float

When the college, that started at the same time as you, needs your help declaring variables after half a year in the company...
