  • Programming slowly by hand with only a book (made of paper) for reference and no IDE.

    EDIT: I mean in my free time as an excercise, not at work. Why the downvotes?

    It was a big surprise to find out that I can’t even write and compile a hello world from the top of my head without the IDE creating the demo project for me and the “play” button abstracting many steps away to run the app.

    Oh and of course the decades of stackoverflow copy paste and delegating the grunt work to junior colleagues did nothing to help. I was athrophying long before AI.



  • I know it works, but it doesn’t make sense to me why I need to constantly disable jshelter for cloudflare bs and let my local device browser do the extra work, if my server can have it’s own browser to do it.

    So I’ve set up karakeep with a browser that passes through most (if not all) bot protections and my on device browser can stay a bit more private with less annoyance.



  • Bottom of the page says what to do and gives 2 options to mitigate:

    # update. openssh 10.6p2 fixes it.
    $ apk upgrade openssh
    
    # can't update yet? turn password logins off.
    $ echo "PasswordAuthentication no" > /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/00-no-passwords.conf
    $ rc-service sshd restart
    

    So if you disable password auth and only allow key auth, then you are unaffected (safe).

    The introis a bit confusing but it means that if you have password auth on - then even if your regular ssh login requires a key, you are not safe.








  • That entire world needs a cargo equivalent.

    The one time I needed to compile a rust app, I followed the instructions on their github and it used cargo and it didn’t work. Don’t remember the issue now, but it instantly gave me the same yuck I get when forced to use pip or npm and it breaks in the same fucking way.

    Had better luck compiling maven/gradle apps oh and yes, makefiles worked reliably for me so far.

    But this is just a personal anecdote and I rarely have to compile anything myself.
