Intel’s iGPU is still the by far the best option for applications such as media transcoding. It’s a shame that AMD haven’t focussed more on this but understandable, it’s relatively niche.

Silicone earplugs, that don’t enter the canal, solved this long-standing problem for me. I sympathise with you regardless, a snoring partner is a difficult situation for both parties.

You can like something and want it to be better. In the lack of actual alternatives the vitriol against YouTube’s anti-user decisions makes a lot of sense. I think you’re just being contrarian.

is how you disable transcoding.

Inside the company a chorus of voices deriding over-provisioned network hardware and a lack of investment in infrastructure. Publicly; claims of a freak accident which could never have been foreseen and which no one could have prepared for.

Who to believe?

:q!

Wait. Oh shit.

Is Google Jibe really a new messaging platform from Google or satire? Because I really can’t tell at this stage.

Excellent work, thank you

$1/month or $10 year. I’d say that’s relatively cheap as far as paid media apps go but certainly more expensive than free.

Can you give an example of the kind of dickery one might get up to by hiding Unicode in a message? I’m not sure I understand what this is for

I remember the flags with a very silly mnemonic.

As a resident of Earth’s moon this infuriates me. I’ve lived here most of my life and the last time I was attacked by a bear was literally decades ago.

A good password you need to recall and type should be easy to remember and hard to guess indeed - diceware is a good solution for creating such passwords, given sufficient length.

But for everything else a password manager provides more benefits for the average user than drawbacks. When used properly, it creates very complex passwords that the user never has to recall - the password manager enters the password and all the user needs is a single “good” password to access all others. The drawback, as with most hosted services, is trust. Though most citizens of the modern internet have already accepted that risk multiple times over.

Also, a site administrator providing for salted, well-hashed password storage doesn’t mitigate a user configuring hunter2 as their password - they’re going to lose access to that account. 2FA mitigates this somewhat, but not enough to evade a well crafted phishing attempt. The onus is very much on the user to protect their account with unique, complex passwords that aren’t used, in part (e.g. as a prefix) or in whole, on other websites/services.

Hopefully this all becomes moot with wide adoption of Passkeys and we’re indeed heading in that direction. But for now, we’re stuck with passwords.

I’m curious as to why you think using a password manager is a crutch.

Not sure why SAML is paywalled but there’s a bunch of options for SSO at the free tier. Google, Microsoft, Slack, Gitlab, OIDC. I deployed a Keycloak instance to provide auth.

I’m pretty sure self-hosting Confluence isn’t possible anymore, or is being sunsetted as a product. I use Confluence at work and compared to Outline it’s noticeably slower in navigation and search. Agree 100% at the pain of configuring it though, it took me two attempts, months apart to get it running. The nice thing, from a self-hosting perspective, is once you’ve built it you also have object-storage, local auth and a database in your network for other self-hosted services that support those things, or for things you build yourself!

Can confirm it has a per-page history, presented as a timeline. Not sure what additional capabilities the audit trail feature provides.

Since no one else has mentioned it, I’ll give a shout out to documentation engine Outline, which allows for self-hosting. Definitely on the trickier side to set up (requires three auxiliary services to be configured) but creates great looking docs that share easily, allows for collaboration and is super fast.
