It used to be spicier and even better before her son took over and changed it to a cheaper chili from another province a few years ago (which wasn't great). I ended up trying something like 20 di…

I created picosnitch which may be of interest if you also want to see the executable behind each request, this way you wouldn't need to disable NextCloud, Dropbox, Slack, etc (the UI doesn't…

Could you try picosnitch? (disclaimer, I'm the author of it) It should be able to get the executable (and the hash of it) or at least give you a little more information. Of those I only see 151.1…

I have the same setup and experience, but there's still two things that annoy me. The setting up your device prompts where you have to skip their attempts to upsell an office 365 subscription, ch…

I personally use fish, but mostly for the out of the box auto completions and highlighting, I don't use it for actual scripting, nor have it set as the login shell due to the 2nd reason you menti…

I don't know the setup used for the ruler and compass constructions, but there's a game called Euclidea [1] which may be of interest. I found the level progression, scoring system, and solvi…

It's basically a form of rubber duck debugging. I also use for quickly writing tiny programs to isolate and test a specific piece of functionality.

pyxargs [1] It's basically a combination of find & xargs which also allows for python one liners, some examples: create a JSON mapping of /etc/hosts cat /etc/hosts | p…

This problem is even simpler if you notice that the rectangle made up of yellow + green + pink is just 3x the area of the orange rectangle, by definition. Since these two rectangles share the same wid…

The same goes for me and I imagine many more. This is literally the only thing holding it back from being the perfect Google Photos replacement for families with someone who self-hosts.

This is only my personal experience, but I agree with you, even with an optimal setup I still require ~5-10 minutes of breaks every couple hours when staring at my monitor. With VR I could easily do (…

> Also python syntax is not as nice in chaining function calls over multiple lines. Not sure if this is exactly what you meant, but I implemented something like this in reply to a similar comment a…

> "or destroy your ability to see blue" This also reminds me of the McCollough effect [1] which can affect your perception of colorless gratings for an unexpectedly substantial amount of …

I created a jail for fail2ban with logpath = /var/log/auth.log and for the filter I use failregex = .*Connection closed by authenticating user [a-z_]([a-z0-9_-]{0,31}|[a-z0-9_…

This is why I require both a private key and a password. I have fail2ban configured to block IPs with invalid private keys after a couple attempts, and if the key is valid to email me and rate limit i…

A little buzzer/led you can plug into an épée to detect hits without a scoring box, there's no grounding so it still triggers on hitting the opponents weapon but was more than good enough fo…

Not GP, but security refers to the protection of the system, while privacy refers to the protection of information. So you need to protect the system to protect the information on it, but there are al…

I found the best solution for myself was the delaying page feature, set to 15 seconds. This added enough friction to prevent mindless checking, but still allowed for purposeful checking without traini…

I'm not sure if it was the keyboard, or the OS, or both, but I found the software on my Palm Pre so much better for doing what I actually want, and in less time, instead of the mindless scrolling…

I apologize, that's a fair question given that I named it after Little Snitch. One reason I used the prefix pico is because it's extremely little, supporting only a subset of Little Snitch&#…

What is your threat model, and what type of traffic are you hoping to block? I never claimed picosnitch to be a firewall. My use case involved running it on servers with a minimal OS where all applica…

I wrote picosnitch [1] which has the same notification and bandwidth monitoring features, however it doesn't block traffic for a couple reasons: avoiding scope creep so I can focus on more reliab…
