Generally speaking it will be fine. SSH will also refuse keys with open permissions so you would notice if it was wide-open to other users of the device.

But you know if you are running random code or AI harnesses as that user it can be at risk. Or if you copy around the key all over the place it is more likely to leak. But generally speaking you are secure by default, just don’t do something dumb with the key and you’ll have no problems.

It sounds pretty reasonable. As long as you keep SSH patched and keep the key safe it should be quite locked down. Do double-check that password login isn’t allowed (or that all users have a very strong password).

One non-security note is be careful with rsync backup. Generally rsync isn’t considered a backup as any mistakes made in the source will be propagated to the “backup” on next sync. Although there are ways to use rsync to take good backups (like copying to a new directory for each backup).

Why only streaming services? Why not target the volume of any ads within content that contains audio? While we are at it why not say that the add can’t be significantly more bright?

CSS != HTML

I don’t think there is any way to play audio from CSS.

But I mean it is open source, you could patch it to do whatever you want.

I built Chibichange to have a way to conveniently deliver changelogs to Dawarich users

Have you considered just posting a changelog to your blog? That would be much more convenient than every app I run pinging me in its own way by phoning home to its server.

https://xkcd.com/1200/ comes to mind.

Games have no sandboxing anyways. They can access most of the data on the systems on which they run. Whether the game, crack or a HV crack makes little difference.

Sure, running a hypervisor or kernel level does allow them a bit more access, mostly around persistence. But I don’t think it is a huge difference to most people.

So IMHO you are already putting a lot of trust in any pirated software or crack, hypervisor bypasses are really just a small matter of degree. If you don’t trust the crack don’t run it. Easy as that. Or if you want robust protection run games on dedicated hardware with no personal information or in a dedicated untrusted gaming VM.

Because every three letter acronym means more than one thing. There are only 17 576 TLA so they are going to be heavily duplicated.

You should almost always spell out acronyms on the first use.

The problem is that only your heaviest users are going to pay to remove the ads, so it doesn’t make sense to price the subscription at any sort of average user. You need to slide the price point way up the distribution just to break even.

Oof, that is really not a good look. This should have been clearly disclosed and probably with a per-notification for the patch release.

I doubt Gaussian blur is an accurate model of real-world situations.

At the end of the day if you are worried about the codes being painted over print a few out and paint over them. Then scan with a variety of scanners.

If I had to come up with some more digital tests I would guess that a few of these are more representative of real-world situations:

1. Lower contrast. For example lighten or darken the whole code. This would simulate things like scanning in low light or with glare.
2. Block out sections of the code. This will test error correction levels and simulate partial damage or pockets of extreme glare.
3. Skew the code in various ways. This simulates the perspective shift of people scanning the code from an angle.

Ideally combine them in a bunch of scenarios then try to scan with a variety of scanner implementations.

It also supports iOS.

No, the DRM wouldn’t work at higher levels so you would have the same requirements with regard to 4k.

Please be civil and polite. This type of aggressive comment insulting people because of the tools that they use isn’t welcome here.

You seem to be making this very complex. But it really isn’t. Yes, git doesn’t track renames. So you are working around it by splitting your operation into 2 commits.

1. A pure rename.
2. A file change.

This way 1 is always considered a rename and 2 is just a regular file change with the same path. You may also consider tweaking the default rename detection threshold with flags like --find-renames or options like diff.renameLimit.

Would it be nice if Git tracked renames? Probably. But that isn’t how the data model works so it is unlikely to happen soon. But maybe they could add some metadata.

I think it doesn’t really make sense. Because you can’t “squash” one commit. squash is taking multiple commits and making them one.

When you do a “squash merge” you are really saying “squash all the commits that are on this branch and not the target” then merge.

So you can’t “squash a merge commit” you need at least one additional commit to squash in.

You have obviously never tried dereferencing a null pointer.

They are legal if you follow the regulations. The problem with the “rideshare” companies is that they don’t. We should just call them “unregulated taxis” rather than pretending that they are a different service. I think just about every taxi company these days is on some app or another (often the same that call unregulated cabs in countries that actually got their shit together and banned the unregulated ones).

Nah it’s worse. Bitcoin actually has legitimate uses. (Yes, they are a minority of actual usage, but they exist.) NFTs are only useful for speculation, gambling and money laundering.

“Rideshare” is also the least accurate term used to dodge regulations. It is just a taxi/cab. You are paying someone to get you from one place to another. They aren’t sharing their ride, they were never going where you are going before you told them to.

This is also likely interesting because console SDKs are usually highly restricted. So not only is the Minecraft code leaked (which is probably moderately interesting) it is likely that the console APIs are quite interesting to emulator developers and reverse engineering for other PS3 games.
