> I make a new GitHub account for any new job I start

Beware of GitHub's terms of service, then: "you may not have more than one free Account" <https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-t...>

progval··on How web bloat impacts users with slow devices
You can change your browser's default font size if you find it too small. It's in Firefox's main settings page. Websites shouldn't force "font-size: 18px;" because it then makes the font smaller for users who picked a larger font in their browser.
progval··on Frugly vs. Freemium
It doesn't have to be about law, the person in charge of purchasing the service may be bound by rules internal to their administration, such as "you have to pick the cheapest option that fills the requirements".

progval··on Bard is now Gemini, and we’re rolling out a mobile app and Gemini Advanced
which is better than formulating a coherent but wrong answer
progval··on Show HN: Name That Nation
I'm having issues with keyboard navigation on Firefox:

* Typing a few letters then pressing tab closes the dropdown instead of selecting options in the dropdown

* when the text box is selecting, pressing enter does nothing; I need to press tab then enter to submit the answer

> there may be an issue with github TOS not allowing more than one free account per person though. i don't know if that is still the case

it is: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-t...

progval··on Gitlab password reset bug leaves more than 5.3K servers up for grabs
and making send_reset_password_instructions get the email addresses itself from the "recoverable" object.
progval··on Nobody Cares About Your Git History
It auto-closed PR #2 and did not open a new one. Also, interestingly, there was no button on PR #1 to delete the branch from there as usual, I had to go to https://github.com/progval/testrepo/branches
progval··on Nobody Cares About Your Git History
I just tested, and it does not: after merging https://github.com/ZN3val/testrepo/pull/1, https://github.com/progval/testrepo/pull/2 is not updated.
progval··on Nobody Cares About Your Git History
I mean, if both branches "foo" and "bar" are in your fork, you can't open a PR in the upstream repo, can you? As soon as I try, GitHub redirects me to my fork to create the PR there
progval··on Nobody Cares About Your Git History
Ah, I didn't know that, thanks. Does it work branch "foo" is not in the same repository as "main" (eg. because you don't have write access to the repository)?
progval··on Nobody Cares About Your Git History
Either the second one includes the first one's commits so the second one's diff is unreadable, or it doesn't and the CI fails because it's missing the features introduced by the first one (or merge-conflicts).
progval··on Nobody Cares About Your Git History
> You want to split it in multiple commits? Then it probably should have been split in multiple PRs .

Sure, but GitHub/GitLab/Gitea don't let you write multiple PRs that depend on each other easily, like Phabricator/Gerrit/email do. Either it's a mess of branches merging into each other, multiple commits in the same PR, or wait for one PR to be merged before writing the next.

progval··on Framework Laptop 16 Review
Another data point: my FW13 12th gen, also on Debian, reaches 6 hours. I didn't tune anything other than cap the CPU to 2GHz in order to avoid fan noise.

GDPR does not specify what technology to use to acquire consent [1], as long as the user consent. Trackers could honor the DNT header if they wanted to, and show the banner as a fallback for browsers not sending the header.

[1] You can read the text: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016/679/oj there is a single instance of "cookie" (in the preamble) and no instance of "banner".

progval··on Will the new judicial ruling in the Vizio lawsuit strengthen the GPL?
(nitpick: it's the SFC, not the FSF)
progval··on Ceph: A Journey to 1 TiB/s
Did you look at their H3? It's pricier but it has two 2.5Gbits ports (along with a NVMe slot and an Intel CPU)
progval··on Ceph: A Journey to 1 TiB/s
I used to use Ceph Luminous (v12) on these, they worked fine. Unfortunately, a bug in Nautilus (v14) prevented 32-bits and 64-bits archs from talking to each other. Pacific (v16) allegedly solves this, but I didn't try it: https://ceph.com/en/news/blog/2021/v16-2-5-pacific-released/

If you want to try it with a more modern (and 64-bits) device, the hardkernel HC4 might do it for you. It's conceptually similar to the HC2 but has two drives. Unfortunately it only has double the RAM (4GB), which is probably not enough anymore.

progval··on Posthog is closing their Slack community in favor of forum
My bad, it wasn't visible until I disabled uBlock, requests seem to be caught by the "uBlock filters – Privacy" list. Does the IA actually run the JS and archive the fetched JSON on its own, or does it depend on someone visiting the archive page with their browser to trigger archival of this JSON data?

> useful solutions aren't searchable on our site or via Google.

And since their forum does not render without Javascript, it is still not archived on archive.org, and probably not searchable with Bing or Duckduckgo

progval··on Sourcehut and Codeberg are both currently experiencing a DDoS attack
And the NS records for his blog are ns1.sr.ht. and ns2.sr.ht. so he probably moved his blog to SourceHut Pages since.

This is 50% of them opting in AND being considered relatives to the 14k who reused vulnerable passwords. For all we know, there may be 99% opt-in but only half the opt-ins are "relatives".

Yes, but even rootless containers rely on user namespaces, which are a recurring source of privilege escalation vulnerabilities in Linux.

progval··on Apollo 11 vs. USB-C Chargers (2020)
Any Turing machine is a (computable) function; and https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0885064X0... shows any computable function can be computed by a GPAC. Therefore, if you take any universal Turing machine, there exists a GPAC that computes that Turing machine; and it is programmable because you can change the input it would give to the emulated Turing machine. Sure it's inefficient due to the two layers of emulation, but it shows it's possible.
