finchisko··on Making hibernation work under Linux Lockdown
It was mentioned in second paragraph, that there is basically no security that can be enforced since root, can load arbitrary modules into kernel.

finchisko··on macOS Big Sur Update Bricking Some Older MacBook Pro Models

finchisko··on MIA – Ubuntu 19.04 Disco Dingo

I wish disabling extension will not reset all the settings.
finchisko··on Why Svelte is our choice for a large web project
Shameless plug. I've choosen svelte for webextension that will be allow you to record, replay and modify requests on the fly. I've choosen Svelte, because 1. courisity and 2. it can compile to webcomponents and also reference webcomponents in normal svelte components. I discarded the webcompoments for everything idea, mostly because clunky passing and registering events with svelte (svelte issue). There few thing that needs to be polished, like typescript support and this events handling with webcomponents, but overall, very satisfied with svelte so far (as former React guy).

finchisko··on Germany is moving beyond nuclear power, but at what cost?
>After the nuclear accident at the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan in 2011, Chancellor Angela Merkel ordered the “Atomausstieg,” the exit from nuclear energy once and for all.Why? Because, as Ms. Merkel put it back then: “The residual risk of nuclear energy can be accepted only if one is convinced that — as far as it is humanly possible to judge — it won’t come to pass.” After Fukushima, Ms. Merkel, a trained physicist, was no longer able to believe that a nuclear disaster would not occur. That there was a catastrophe even in a high-tech country like Japan made her change her mind."

With this reasoning, any form of transportation should be "exited" (austeigt) too, because there were airplane, car... crashes in the past. And it is also highly unlikely that it wouldn't happen again.

finchisko··on VirtualBox 6.1
What are the highlights of the new versions?

Also
