They can include runnable JavaScript too, which can cause vulnerabilities in certain contexts. One example from work some years back: We had a web app where users could upload files, and certain users could view files uploaded by others. They had the option to download the file or, if it was a file type that the browser could display (like an image or a PDF), the site would display it directly on the page.

To prevent any XSS (scripts from user-provided files), we served all files with the CSP sandbox header, which prevents any scripts from running. However, at the time, that header broke some features of the video player on certain browsers (I think in Safari, at least), so we had to serve some file types without the header. Mistakenly, we also included image files in the exclusion, as everyone through image files couldn’t contain scripts. But the MIME type for SVG files is image/svg+xml… It was very embarrassing to have such a simple XSS vuln flagged in a security audit.

My use case is a bit different than yours but still worth mentioning, I think; I have Sharry running in Docker and it makes sharing and receiving files super easy. All downloads and uploads are resumable so they work well even in unstable networks.

I never understood why exactly it’s such a controversial topic. It’s my third year on Mastodon, and I’ve never felt the service was lacking just because not having proper quote posts. But then, I also don’t understand most of the arguments against them, especially when/if they’re implemented as an opt-in for the original poster.

Basically, people on both sides seem angry over nothing, and I’m just like, ‘Neat, a new feature. Anyway…’

You will be able to choose whether your posts can be quoted at all.
You will be notified when someone quotes you.
You will be able to withdraw your post from the quoted context at any time.

To me this sounds like the right way of doing it. Quote posts have always been kinda a hot topic on Mastodon. Some people want them while others absolutely do not. So best just let everyone to decide for themselves.

In addition to what others have already pointed out, please also note that mentioning any other account in a “private” message chain will allow that account to retroactively see all the messages in the chain.

Basically DMs in Mastodon are pretty useless.

Yeah I get that, but why return that information in the HTTP response?

Interesting read. One thing I don’t fully get is why does Cloudflare have the airport code in the response headers anyway? I cannot think of a single reason to have it in the response.

I think this time the manufacturers will be pretty quick at adopting the new branding; if there’s two competing devices next to each other, one marked with “USB 3.2 Gen 2x2”, which no one understands, and other one with “USB 20Gbps” I think the latter will sell more.

Sure. I’m not recommending anything, just stating what has worked for me. For simple use cases, I think most of the DDNS services are pretty much the same anyway and it’s easy to switch to an another one if one stops working for some reason.

I’ve been using No-IP free plan for years without issues. Inputted the credentials to my routers DDNS client and then basically forgot about it. Free users need to confirm their account once a month via email but that’s just one click.

If your domain registrar happens to have an API to update DNS entries, you could implement DDNS yourself by writing a simple automated script to check the external IP (e.g. via ipify.org) and if it’s changed from the last check then call the API to update the DNS entries.

Well, just by looking at responses in this thread, the controversy most definitely still exists. Some seem to like it and others hate it fiercely.

Cool, thanks for the explanation.

a single application that gets bundled with all necessary dependencies including versioning

Does that mean that if I were to install Application A and Application B that both have dependency to package C version 1.2.3 I then would have package C (and all of its possible sub dependencies) twice on my disk? I don’t know how much external dependencies applications on Linux usually have but doesn’t that have the potential to waste huge amounts of disk space?

Sorry to ask, I’m not really familiar with Linux desktop nowadays: I’ve seen Flatpak and Flathub talked about a lot lately and it seems to be kinda a controversial topic. Anyone wanna fill me in what’s all the noice about? It’s some kind of cross-distro “app store” thingy?

Google Tasks. Does not have all the features of other apps but does everything I need and was preinstalled

Good luck trying to “shut down” a open source software… Still sucks tho, why Nintendo gotta make so good games but be so shitty of a company otherwise

Good luck, because last time they tried to replace the Start menu with a new UI went so well…

Seems to be a cut-down version from the Direct, so nothing new in this one.

Just gave F-Zero 99 a go. It’s surprisingly fun and polished for a “free” game
