defraudbah··on PHP 8.5 adds pipe operator
PHP is that weird beast that no one wants to praise and yet it works tremendously well for those who manage to tame it.

I would likely never touch it as there are too many languages to use and what I know is more than enough to do my job, but I am super excited to see languages like PHP that aren't mainstream in my bubble to keep evolving

defraudbah··on PHP 8.5 adds pipe operator
do not let me start on monads in golang...

both are going somewhere and super popular though

defraudbah··on Open IP Camera Firmware
is thingino an alternative to open ipc? A newbie question

update seems like it's software for a camera module. Now I have to figure how to match that with cameras or how to connect it to my raspberry pi

defraudbah··on ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 – Lenovo’s rollable laptop
then we both have something to learn :)
defraudbah··on ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 – Lenovo’s rollable laptop
not surprised, lenovo has tons of models like L13, X13, N13, how on earth as a regular human am I supposed to make sense of it? Now I have a rollable screen, what does it even mean..

there are so many things I don't understand, same with foldable phones. I am also super happy companies like framework exist, give me a few choices, I don't need much, I want to forget times of tetrising my PC when I was a kid.

defraudbah··on How Python grew from a language to a community
he-he, sometimes, but mostly because it shows there are real people behind who have emotions. Agree on rust (put rails or others here) having too much of it sometimes
defraudbah··on How Python grew from a language to a community
that's what Delphi said
defraudbah··on How Python grew from a language to a community
that's why I love rust!

Raspberry is godsent

defraudbah··on Ubiquiti launches UniFi OS Server for self-hosting
Any hardware recommendation to run unifi on? Curious what people recommend for that kind of staff
defraudbah··on Dumb Pipe
ethernet works out of the box, i used local lans long time before i knew how to program

usb probably works too if you google a bit

defraudbah··on Dumb Pipe
you need an ssh server and an open port, different protocol etc
defraudbah··on Do not download the app, use the website
I like mobile apps when I need quick access to a feature on the go. All my bank operations are done from the mobile app, I rarely use the website, and for best banks - never.

Mobile apps are great, but it does not mean you need one

defraudbah··on Show HN: Tinder but it's only pictures of my wife and I can only swipe right
̶B̶l̶i̶n̶k̶ ̶t̶w̶i̶c̶e̶ make 3 quick swipes, 3 slow swipes and 3 quick swipes if you are kept in hostage
defraudbah··on Firefox-patch-bin, librewolf-fix-bin AUR packages contain malware
it does, I am using it extensively (little snitch on mac, and open snitch on linux). My problem with it is that every new tool wants to connect to the internet and my terminal is the constant source of outbound connections. I try to review everything but the amount of tools and connections is overwhelming. It does limit the risk, but i do not trust my terminal and dev tools as usually i give them way too many permissions and any plugin or tool from AUR can contain malware

PS. Regarding downloading files from internet, every self-update tool does that nowadays, it becomes more common because of apple/others stores policies. I created a few remote control tools and it is very very difficult to caught them, and I am not even a professional malware researcher. Things they do is beyond understanding of average superuser

defraudbah··on Firefox-patch-bin, librewolf-fix-bin AUR packages contain malware
i installed a lot of cra* from aur in the past, wouldn't be surprised if i got a malware somewhere. Strange thing, I don't think open snitch would even help in such situation..

and official repo does not have enough packages to run arch :\ I don't want to go back to ubuntu

defraudbah··on Encrypting files with passkeys and age
holy moly that's a big weight to carry, hope you make a dent in MS reputation.
defraudbah··on Encrypting files with passkeys and age
oh this is so cool, thank you for explaining!

I was thinking that master key is a wrapping key but that's the other way around, plus I can have many users who have access to the data. Neat

defraudbah··on Encrypting files with passkeys and age
could you please elaborate on envelope encryption in this case. I encrypt one key with another, how does it enable rotation?

The first key is now safer, but now I have to manage 2 keys, master key and a the one I use per files group X.

defraudbah··on Encrypting files with passkeys and age
out of curiosity, why do you host your repos?
defraudbah··on Encrypting files with passkeys and age
I follow Filippo for years and he's doing amazing job for crypto and golang communities. Excited to see your bikes adventures too. If it wasn't for you who knows, maybe golang wasn't that popular in the fields where cryptography matters.

keep up, Filippo!

defraudbah··on ETH Zurich and EPFL to release a LLM developed on public infrastructure
I had no idea what ETH means 2 years ago, I thought it's ethereum club in switzerland or something. Then I kept hearing about it, noticing people wearing ETH stuff.

obviously I don't know if it's university or people there because I haven't been there, but I keep hearing about ETH Zurich in different areas and it means something

defraudbah··on Linda Yaccarino is leaving X
> Because a lot of tech sucks lately?

people are negative because tech sucks lately? ahahaaha

defraudbah··on Linda Yaccarino is leaving X
yeah, I am mad :D, actually quite fine with people disagreeing and throw _hit at me. What I am not getting is why every opinion people disagree with gets downvoted, Maybe I don't understand how voting system is supposed to work here. What's wrong with grok becoming a mecha or liking new twitter payout model? I think it's fun and helps people, why be angree about it?

I can flame asses here and have fun, but I don't want to, I want people to be happy and enjoy their life.

defraudbah··on ETH Zurich and EPFL to release a LLM developed on public infrastructure
ETH Zurich is doing so many amazing things that I want to go study there. Unbelievable how many great people are coming from that university
defraudbah··on Linda Yaccarino is leaving X
HN has become a new reddit :D

I have no idea why people are so negative here

defraudbah··on Linda Yaccarino is leaving X
> It’s also tiresome to see people asking Grok under every post

ha-ha, this is true, but I also find it hilarious

and I don't mind people with tons of followers monetizing it. If I see a person bait-posting - I can unsubscribe any time.
