BadBadJellyBean··on Cryptocurrency lawsuit: Ethereum Foundation required "suicide pledge"
> “If you reward making a stink with outcomes, then everyone will know that essentially making that kind of show both internally and externally is the way to cause outcomes inside of the EF,” he said, according to the lawsuit, which cited a recorded conversation between the pair.

Well she was too effective at organizing a resistance. Can't have that.

BadBadJellyBean··on I'm not convinced the AI bubble exists
Liabilities in stocks are still liabilities. It's money they will not get if they go public. You can't just ignore these.
BadBadJellyBean··on Outlook.com Is Quietly Rejecting Email from Domains Without DMARC
It's not enough. I have a domain that I had a very long time but it is on an undesirable tld. I got it long before it was problematic. Outlook always puts my mail in the SPAM folder even though I have done everything I could. I even deliver through a trusted provider. Not on any spam list. DMARC, DKIM, SPF all set up. No dice.

Everything is possible. But I agree it's too early to call. But still...
BadBadJellyBean··on UTS #39: Unicode Security Mechanisms
Witching the default encoding is easy. Ask the python people. /s
BadBadJellyBean··on Stalwart v1.0: The Fastest Mail Server on the Planet
Even a custom domain can be pain. I have an xyz domain and my mails usually land in the spam folder when I send from it. If you don't have enough volume you might have trouble as well.
BadBadJellyBean··on UTS #39: Unicode Security Mechanisms
What is the alternative? ASCII isn't it because there isn't only English out there. All the different encodings we had before weren't it either.

Having only ASCII in urls is incredible US centric. Yes it brings problems, yes they are solvable. It takes work to not have US and it's writing system to be the center of everything.

BadBadJellyBean··on Today, we hacked what we'd set out to hack: the iPhone
Understandable. It's just what I have as a high end laptop. I am sure others make good products as well.

But for what it's worth I personally had a very good customer service experience with them. I had a laptop where I couldn't enable the TPM anymore and they asked me to ship it to them to look at it and replaced it with a newer model. That was in Germany though and just one case.

BadBadJellyBean··on PHP Foundation 'under-funded' with one full-time staff member, director says
Even if not that doesn't matter. There is a lot of software out there that is very actively developed and based on PHP. So it's very odd that they are so underfunded but on the other hand it's probably a marketing problem. I didn't know about that since this post.
BadBadJellyBean··on Today, we hacked what we'd set out to hack: the iPhone
Are you comparing the same class of computer? I have a Dell XPS here. I must say I prefer it greatly to the quality of the Mac Book I have laying around. If you don't want the software then I am sure there is equal or maybe better hardware out there. But that is just my opinion.
BadBadJellyBean··on PHP Foundation 'under-funded' with one full-time staff member, director says
Wordpress and Nextcloud are two very prominent pieces of software that come to mind that are built on PHP. I'm sure there is more out there.
BadBadJellyBean··on Today, we hacked what we'd set out to hack: the iPhone
There is a lot of great hardware out there that is not made by apple.
BadBadJellyBean··on Desire to Move Permanently to U.S. at New Low
Even before Trump I could never imagine moving to the US and I have dual citizenship. You will pry my 30 days of vacation, missing concept of sick days, socialized healthcare out of my cold dead hands.

Trump only made it worse.

BadBadJellyBean··on Passkeys are a trap
Yes you can. I just tried it and it worked. I used the export functionality and exported my vault as json and the passkey is in there.
BadBadJellyBean··on Google Data Centers around the world
And none of the on the continents of Africa or Australia.
BadBadJellyBean··on SQLAlchemy 2.1.0 Released
Did someone force you to use SQLAlchemy? I mean you can write DB queries with and ORM. There are also other ORMs for python.
BadBadJellyBean··on Passkeys are a trap
You can put your passkey in another safe. I store mine in my vaultwarden. You can also do keepass with a plugin. You don't have to store it on your phone.
BadBadJellyBean··on Germany transforms former coal mines into Europe's largest lake landscape
The only problem I see there is that filling a lake takes a while.
BadBadJellyBean··on Imposing Sanctions on the International Criminal Court
If by "UNDER HALF" you mean who voted for him then I don't know what you are talking about. Trump won the electoral AND the popular vote. And don't go counting non voters as against Trump.

By every metric the US wanted Trump and they got Trump.

BadBadJellyBean··on JetBrains reports revenue growth, net financial loss for 2025
Kotlin is actually a pretty nice language, especially compared to Java. I love how they have null checking as a central feature.
BadBadJellyBean··on A browser-native classic Visual Basic VB6 IDE
The example code is bad. It doesn't even have "On Error Resume Next" on the top of the code. How are you supposed to skip all errors? SMH my head.
BadBadJellyBean··on Upgrade your desktop: Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS is now available
I don't like immutable distros. I play around too much. I tried normal Fedora but an update broke my graphics stack and I didn't like that. Other than that I am used to Deb and it just works.
BadBadJellyBean··on Upgrade your desktop: Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS is now available
I usually don't use LTS. Debian release cycle is too long for me.
BadBadJellyBean··on Upgrade your desktop: Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS is now available
I use it because I am very happy with the release schedule and the maturity. I don't want to use the latest greatest. I want something that works and has some manpower (and maybe money) behind it. I am not the biggest fan of snap but I know how to get around it.
BadBadJellyBean··on Nissan's third generation e-POWER powertrain
I am always a bit confused by this argument. You have to drive to a gas station to get fuel but it's not okay to drive to a specific place to charge. Most of the gas station where I live already have a few charging points backed by a big battery. Maybe that's not everywhere but I am not sure they are as rare as they are made out to be.
BadBadJellyBean··on Nissan's third generation e-POWER powertrain
Are they though? I mean you also don't have a gas station at the curb but you get by. Maybe you just need to charge at a public charging point. Just because you have an EV doesn't mean you absolute NEED to charge at home for it to make sense.
BadBadJellyBean··on Topcoat is pushing the boundary of server applications with Rust
As if C was any better than rust. So much clutter. So hard to grok with all the macros. I'd rather read rust than C.
BadBadJellyBean··on The newest ESP32 can run Linux and it's getting close to a Raspberry Pi
> is an ESP32 more like a arduino (or any other MCU) running bare metal or some thine RTOS or more like a raspberry pi which is more like a mini computer running a full fledged Linux

Espressif's answer: yes

BadBadJellyBean··on WordPress: Unauthenticated path traversal leading to conditional RCE
I have full control over the inputs for hugo and the output is pure static HTML. It's better if there are no CVEs but I really don't sweat these. My Hugo template runs 100% pure CSS and no JS.
BadBadJellyBean··on Why MCP Was Always a Bad Idea
It doesn't need to be. The service creds can be on another host entirely.
