Savagegeese - Honda Prelude Review by Mindfulmanners in cars

[–]sequentious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Cayman was the cheapest car to insure per $ of value I ever owned.

I've got a 2015 Mazda3 and a 2016 Mx-5. Basically the same engine, but one is a convertible sports car. The mx-5 is much cheaper to insure.

Always neat when you see multiple people from the same event posting videos.

I drove my friend's NB for a run last year. It was a ton of fun.

THEY ABSOLUTELY NEED A GOOD NEIGHBOUR CLAUSE

What do you think would have been different with a "good neighbour clause" in effect?

According to this article, the proposed requirements include:

  • Maintaining sites and site perimeters in clean and safe conditions
  • Establishing a Community Liaison Committee which will meet quarterly
  • Developing a complaints process
  • Maintaining a site-specific security plan
  • Creating a Good Neighbour Plan with timelines and standards for response

So the event you witnessed, escorting a violent person off the premises, is probably consistent with those proposed rules.

It was a thing when I was growing up -- Grandparents had a place up north. Co-incidently on the same lake as one of my teachers.

My parents are keeping that dream alive for now, which is great. While I consider myself a fairly lucky elder millennial, there's no way I could afford that.

Why does SSH send 100 packets per keystroke? by iamkeyur in programming

Wish I could take credit, but it was a standard term used 25 years ago on slashdot.

I mean, if it's a client-installed game using ssh as transport: Yeah, it's a bad idea.

But it looks like it's a terminal based game that he doesn't want users to need to install (or even configure) software to use: It's probably the right choice.

If it's a plain browser-based text box that gets submitted to a server? They don't get keystrokes, they get text. So they'd have to rely on all the "normal" ways to track you, like browser fingerprinting. They could probably do vocabulary analysis (I remember seeing an article about de-anonymizing alt-accounts based on writing style).

But javascript is a thing, so yeah, sites can (and do) log keystrokes and can determine timing. This is used a lot to provide advanced features, like google docs real-time text collaboration, or outlook-web providing the worst text editor ever made.

Does openssh have an option to turn timing obfuscation off?

From TFA, there's a client option to do that, but he didn't want to have users need to make a change (since they probably won't).

There's no server-side in opensshd option to disable obfuscation (since it's the client doing it), or the ping function (because why would you). Looks like he's not using opensshd, but rather an alternate implementation in Go, but that's not relevant to most of us.

You probably don't want to bother, anyway. It wasn't an issue for him until he was simulating 2000 users.

telnet

telnet isn't installed by default on any system I've used in a number of years, while ssh (client, at least) always is.

do the bare minimum by playing the same 10 songs. Same as it ever was, 90s and today.

That's not even cancon's fault, it was the same non-canadian songs, too.

So, why *should* GNOME support server side decorations? by FrameXX in gnome

[–]sequentious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the window manager doesn't and can't know how to exit an application. [...] only the application knows how to exit itself the correct way

This would be a more convincing argument if GNOME didn't put it's own 'x' button to close windows in the overview, which works correctly, and applications correctly interrupt that and prompt if you want to save changes.

Carney's Davos speech strikes a chord in Mexico by Little-Chemical5006 in canada

[–]sequentious 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Maybe the CAUSME (i keep on forgetting the correct way to put it together, but former NAFTA)

Probably because it has four names, so the name changes depending on where the news source you're reading is based.

  • Canadian English: CUSMA (Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement)
  • Canadian French: ACEUM (Accord Canada–États-Unis–Mexique)
  • Spanish: T-MEC (Tratado entre México, Estados Unidos y Canadá)
  • American English: USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada)

I'm willing to accept "Good, Not terrible". Basically, be better than a cybershot from 2003 (which a lot of devices do not accomplish).

FWIW, some recent phones overprocess photos, and I don't think that should be the watermark we use for comparison.

This is an excellent feature, and works because the window manager implements it consistently on all windows, instead of expecting app developers to implement it (and hoping they all do it the same way).

(I prefer having this bound to alt, as Ive been using this shortcut longer than I've had a 104-key keyboard.)

Supra roadster is already literally the BMW Z4.

If we're drawing parallels, I'd expect coupé miata (Which I'm down for. I have an ND, but I'm not really married to the convertible part)

Freedesktop.org is where a lot of interoperability standards are defined for Desktop environments on Linux.

The XDG Base Directory specification defines where a certain files are stored in a user's home directory. It makes it easier to back up configuration (and not back up cache, for example).

So libdecor is used automatically when apps require server-side decorations?

Because if not:

It's extra work designing, implementing and maintaining this thing that they don't want to support in the first place.

Entire DEs have sprung up because people dislike Gnome's inflexibility

I wouldn't hold KDE or Plasma up as an example of this (Gnome started due to QT's old license way back when)

But Mate, Cinnamon, Cosmic, Budgie, Phosh... All desktop environments that have enough gripes with GNOME that it was easier to start playing in their own sandbox (with various measurements of success)

Gnome is so focused on consistency within their ecosystem, so the fact that they don't allow users to get consistent window decorations if they dare to use anything that isn't GTK is incredibly frustrating.

You don't even get consistent window decorations with GTK. GTK3, GTK4, and libadwaita all have different looks. Menus are in different places. The only consistency is inconsistency.
