Serves a bit of a different purpose - but for working with git in the terminal I'm a big LazyGit fan - https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit

I use it in neovim with https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim

New comment by RVRX in "Flipping Pages: New Linux vulnerability in nf_tables and exploitation techniques"

RVRX — Thu, 28 Mar 2024 12:10:24 +0000

Can you help me with reading that page? What's the difference between the `linux-kvm` vs `linux-hwe-6.5`? They both list different release fixes for Jammy, 5.15.0-101.111 and 6.5.0-26.26 respectively.

Edit: Oh it looks like the generic kernel is the one named just "linux" and also has 5.15.0... as the patched version on Jammy

I believe only Mass and one other state have laws preventing extra charges for credit cards, and they are only targeted at larger companies. At least in MA, if you are a smaller company using a 3rd party payment processor/POS (like Toast), you are allowed to push the credit card fee they charge you onto the consumer.

RVRX — Sat, 05 Aug 2023 21:16:36 +0000

As much as I appreciate what they offer at no cost, I have experienced more downtime from their service then I would like. My Uptime Kuma dashboard reports a 99.98% 30-day uptime from their service (mainly small 1-2min down-times every couple of weeks), but I have experienced at least one 7ish hour period a few months back where no duckDNS queries were resolving for any domains I checked. And I never found any official source giving a reason or even acknowledging this this outage. Again, free service, I do appreciate what they offer.

New comment by RVRX in "Firefox has surpassed Chrome on Speedometer"

RVRX — Tue, 18 Jul 2023 14:29:49 +0000

> Only very rarely (every few months) am I forced to use Chrome for a site - and in my view, that's a huge ding on the site devs, not on Firefox.

I find this very common with Credit Card and Banking Sites. Very often they either refuse to log me in or log me out sooner than they should on Firefox, or certain pages within the site will just not load. I'm guessing they prioritize security, and only test this stuff in Chrome ;(

FYI, Had trouble getting to your resume. It appears the link you gave is missing the "www." and there is no auto-redirect from "martyrudolf.com" to "www.martyrudolf.com"

The only non-remote Engineering role is "New Grad 2023 | Software Engineer - Backend ", (even though the frontend version of the role is remote) is that a mistype or intentional?

Mullvad offers flat rate $5 (no matter 1 month or 12 months or 120 months) and never have any sales so I'm surprised to see these[1] prepaid amazon cards ARE offering discounts: 12mo @ $4.75/mo & 6mo @ $4.83/mo esp. when these are /physical/ code-card purchases

IMO most of their customer demographic is the edgy online teenager who wants to mess with someone on the internet, not adults or companies going after any businesses or the like.

Just look at the ADs to these sites that are super flashy and cool to cater to these teens

TBF these sites have been up for years, I recognize some from >decade ago, so it took quite some time for the law to catch up to them. They've probably taken in quite a bit of cash since their inception.

Back when I was a teenager I used to come across these sites all the time when playing with Skype-to-IP revolvers. I just checked, and I'm surprised Google actually still shows these sites when you search for them. Most of them have partner links to these DDoS sites, many of which are on this list of takedowns.
