That was such a cute lil post

Is that someone's attempt at spelling genre?

 

I went to my local library today and noticed there's a lot of networking, cybersecurity, tcp/ip books from the early 2000s. Now, I want more modern versions of these types of handbooks. Does anyone know any good modern handbooks that deal with networking or network security standards?

Thanks :)

Why do the tech heads show why it won't be adopted mainstream any time soon?

Linux doesn't always work. We know that. But it looks like you're misconstruing your specific issue with some broader argument for Linux being mainstream. The fact that you connected it to a switch tells me that youre already more advanced than the average user. I get you're annoyed, but you can also just ask about your specific issue.

The article made a few good points, but a good amount of it was conjecture. I liked the part about comparing the two functions and showing that exceptions are faster but I think a big thing he's not getting is readability. Even in the functions he showed, you can directly see that the one using std::expected has the happy path and error path directly in the function signature, whereas the exception one doesn't.

As for the "error kind" trap he was talking about, that definitely exists, but ignores the fact that you can also get this same kind of error from exceptions. I've definitely gotten exceptions that I didn't understand from Python or Java libraries, but it's not a problem with exceptions but a problem with how they're shown. If there's nothing to tell me that I should have thought of that error, it shouldn't be an expectation for a dev to have thought of it.

Is this in the issue search bar?

I think most use who use keepass instead of bitwarden do so because keepass is offline, unlike bitwarden. At least that's what I understand.

I thought this was going to refer to a fur dracula on first read.

 

I wanted to get others' takes but it seems like the only real way to get a non-spying car is to get an older car without any sort of telemetrics. I saw a video about different car companies' security policies, well specifically the new Mental Outlaw video, and it just blew me away how even our cars aren't safe. Anyone got tips for how to anonymize their car?

 

I've seen a lot of different enterprise and personal use distros for servers, but what do you guys use?

I'm planning on using Debian but was wondering if there are any other good free options to consider.

 

I've been looking around to find a good, privacy respecting way to sync my messages between phones. I decided I'm going to use SyncThing so I don't have to mess around with a server. The only problem with this is that I haven't been able to find any apps that work on modern Android that routinely backup and import messages from a file/folder into the messages database. Does anyone know any app that might do this?

 

I recently purchased a domain for myself as a why-the-fuck-not purchase and I need some ideas for what to put on there. Some ideas so far include: Small Blog Personal S/FTP server to sync back to Minecraft server

Does anyone have other ideas? Thanks :)

 

I'm trying to find a good fuzzing tool for testing my web applications and was wondering what people would recommend. I'm trying to find one that is open source, free, and doesn't use proprietary stuff. It seems like Google's OSSFuzz is the closest option to what I'm looking for, but it uses Google cloud :/

 

I've been trying to find something that allows me to see performance visualizations in my rust programs, but I haven't found any so far. I'm looking for something that's like SnakeViz in Python, but for Rust. If there's a better way to get about doing this, I'm all ears.
