cool, now they know how to hide better.

why not improve tooling on how to run untrusted code in isolated environments? this covers wider range of applicable situations.

what is so "incredibly" and "imposing" in the parent comment, that saying «my experience is…», «i feel more in it than many imagine/expect», «factually ruins many lifes», and «it just seem working this way», even «remove the judgment element» ??

it is as gently and friendly of a warning as it could be.

i would say rather less nicely: people! don't be degenerate! it does not worth it. it causes harm to you, to neighbours, to bystanders too, even if you dont intend.

bandie91··on Small programming tricks
i made `rr` (remote run) for a use-case very similar to this.

it expects the remote fs is mounted under .../ssh/HOSTNAME/ and runs any command in that dir on the remote host. if it is not the root which is mounted, looks up mtab for the remote base directory.

whaaat? parents?? being responsible? let alone to their kids? what are you? some kind of backward medieval luddite?

btw, yes, we must not lose the skill of parenting. no any technology give it back to us.

bandie91··on Jury finds Meta liable in case over child sexual exploitation on its platforms
does the post office and postmen are responsible to police kids' snail mails?

where does this "perfect surveillance" idea come from? i teach my children how to get acquaintances; first in more direct, more supervised way, later let them more and more self-driving. like anything else in parenting, eg. bicycle. but i guess urbanization diminished that skill as well. no need for "perfect surveillance"; no parent wants it. it's not only easier to pass on basic principles, but also makes supervision gradually less neccessary over time.

> parents have in fact full control of snail mail

what? children using e-messaging can just as do snail mails completely on their own (of course they don´t but it's not about going back to analogue world but to form the digital world on the same principles). well, i can imagine in highly urbanized environment, where children are forbidden to go outside, but locked down together with family even making them more isolated, and trusting them "to the phone" to cope with the daily frustration, may easily lead to a situation where phone usage and e-messaging is completely unattended and undisclosed by and with parents, while posting an evelope is at a level of expertise for them. parents ability to be in control of e-messaging is as much as of snail mails.

i dont know why they are not the default.

what is so hard to teach children not to e-messaging with strangers just like not to snail-mailing with strangers? also the parents should be able to join the conversation just like in the analogue world. call me backward but i dont want to outsource parenting neither to government nor to remote businneses.

> That’s just not how the system works.

ok then make it work so. i feel it's like this thought flow:

- A causes B. and B is a problem.

- why not do C which causes not B.

- ahh, this wont work because it's A what is now, and C is not.

bandie91··on VitruvianOS – Desktop Linux Inspired by the BeOS
yes, Alt+drag (it's always meta, not meta4, by default on systems i use) has been and still is a killer feature to me. on desktops which does not support it, like windows, i feel like my hands were tied.

many get used to Ctrl-U, Return, ~, period keystroke sequence for this.
bandie91··on SSH Secret Menu
> typing on a line, backspacing all the way to the start and then typing ~ also sends a literal tilde

for the younger readers, yes, because in terminal echo mode, "backspacing" does not clear your terminal line buffer, those characters backspaced are already sent on the line. if you ever seen a misconfigured terminal, it hints what's going on, like:

user@host$ ls ~/^?^?^?^?^?~/a.out

^? is backspace's control char.

that is ssh watches what you type, not what is on the screen (terminal).

> The main header JS starts using range requests to first load the real HTML, and then it watches requests for resources; the resources have been rewritten to be deliberately broken 404 errors (requesting from localhost, to avoid polluting any server logs)

what if a web server on localhost happens to handle the request? why not request from a guaranteed unaccessable place like http://0.0.0.0/ or http://localhost:0/ (port zero)
