Because it passes more boundaries and stuff. But hey, I didn’t code a Webserver so far - so what do I know. :D

AFAIK eBPF can be hardware offloaded. If you have the use case.

I am surprised how well nginx holds up?!

Yeah! I also think that the ban was unintended.

I also think that’s a big clown show. People think that LLMs accidentally get good with security patterns. That is not the case, they included all of that in the training data. They could also have left out the knowledge.

I tried installing it and it was a pain, if you don’t use the very very default scripts. Also their scripts regenerate secrets and the setup is weird in general (you need a complicated rp configuration and scripts to generate the config files)

You can try out AstoCAD, a reskin of FreeCAD. The author also fixes a lot of FreeCAD bugs.

From the initial feature set it sounds like Mozilla SOPS.

Kinda weird when they secure shop sites where you enter your payment information into. IKEA does this, for example.

I love when people do this! Now we only need alternative software and the hardware is finally purchasable!

Would be cooler if the hardware was more OS before but I take what I can get…

Just let Signal operate via Satellites and you are fine: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weltraumtheorie

New comment by augunrik in "Should I use JWTs for authentication tokens?"

augunrik — Mon, 27 May 2024 16:33:30 +0000

JWTs are best practice for OAuth as it can transport claims. It’s up to your application if you continue to use it after the initial flow. You are fine to convert it, but most apps don’t as it’s easier.

Is there some information on why they need to store this much data for immediate retrieval? And why is it so much?

I use Strongbox and store my Passkeys in a Keepass File. Vendor agnostic, private syncable and locked by my passphrase. I like them and wish more services would implement them properly.

Can you also see if every job position was filled in the end?

Kinda sounds like OPA (Open Policy Agent) [1], but a different implementation.

New comment by augunrik in "EU jobs crisis as employers say applicants don't have the right skills"

augunrik — Mon, 08 Apr 2024 11:24:53 +0000

Yeah, I blame those employers too. Last year I was job hunting and got declined a position as I only have 10 years of experience with JavaEE, but no job experience with Spring Boot (only a few hobby projects). That’s how narrow minded these guys are.

I have a customer that is not allowed to run Postgres natively or docker at all (bc of security). They could use this, I guess.

So after firewalls, the next logical step is Anti-virus, isn’t it?

Personally I often go to Amazon to find things, google the author and check on the HP on how to buy the book with the least amount of "tax" for the author. Added benefit: you get formats outside of walled gardens!

Thanks for all your links! I haven't decided on what to next :D

Ask HN: Similar books to “Raytracing in one Weekend”?

augunrik — Fri, 16 Dec 2022 20:05:43 +0000

I really liked the "Raytracing in one Weekend" Series [0], in terms of: explaining a complicated concept by programming a toy implementation of the thing itself and afterwards one is left with more knowledge and something to "show".

Does someone know similar series on other subjects than raytracing? I know there is the Advent of Code, but that's more like solving a puzzle.
