Kuraj··on OpenSSH 10.6p2 has been released with a workaround for a critical vulnerability
> At least one local account has a $5$ or $6$ password hash.

I'm not sure this gets the point across when (according to https://sshhole.com/) it effectively means "any other user with a real password"

Exhilarating, isn't it?

Kuraj··on No More Icons in Every Menu by Default
Yeah with KDE it's all or nothing, either every menu item has an icon or you can turn off all of them.

This goes against the original argument which is that icons should only be used for universal idioms that can be recognized by the icon _only_. Otherwise it's just noise

I love KDE but they could take some notes from this!

I really like this. I'll definitely continue using it.

There is just one thing that bugs me - during every cold start my playlists take like half a minute to load, and that's even with my personal API key. Surely these could be cached?

It makes sense that people tend to upvote things thats make them laugh over things that make them upset.
Kuraj··on AI is removing the middle class of software engineering?
If there is any positive to be had from this, it's that we finally started documenting the codebases for AI as we should have always done it for other teammates.
Kuraj··on I don't recommend Tailwind CSS
> It breaks the separation between structure and design

I have a problem with this argument because CSS _itself_ breaks that separation.

`border: 1px solid red;` is design, but `display: flex;` is structure.

In my opinion, it makes sense for display properties to live in the HTML because they are by their very nature very tighly coupled to the markup.

Though I appreciate that making this distinction creates a separate problem of your team having to exercise good judgement (and consistency) in which CSS belongs where.

Kuraj··on AI coding agents should optimize for less owned code

Ah yes - my bad. I fixated on the part where you have to uncover the mines instead of avoiding them.

Kuraj··on Show HN: Reverse Minesweeper
MSN MESSENGER HAD THIS!

I used to play this with a friend. You would take turns, that is, the mines would reveal themselves in real time, and your turn ended if you missed a mine.

Then the game would call you a slut when it ended, because my friend's MSN was in Swedish and that is the word for "end"

Kuraj··on LinkedIn is illegally searching your computer
> I think most people would interpret “scanning your computer” as breaking out of the confines the browser and gathering information from the computer itself. If this was happening, the magnitude of the scandal would be hard to overstate.

But at the end of the day, the browser is likely where your most sensitive data is.

Kuraj··on Interview with Øyvind Kolås, GIMP developer (2017)
Don't sleep on the command palette (`/`). It's a really useful tool when even if you don't know _where_ things are, you still know what they are called.
Kuraj··on Don't create .gitkeep files, use .gitignore instead (2023)
If you need to do this, I think .gitkeep communicates intent better. You don't need to document it or risk it being removed as thought to be a left over.
