Most of the situations I encounter RSA are in projects where I hope RSA is implemented correctly. I have a lot of Let’s Encrypt certs that are still RSA and my main SSH keys are still RSA. All of these were generated quite some time ago. I understand the problem with projects that implement it incorrectly but I’d hope OpenSSH and certbot aren’t those projects 😥

Fact of the matter is RSA is perfectly secure still…and ECDSA/ED25519 should also be extinct given the rising need for post quantum cryptography

I do whenever there is a vulnerability of note. I don’t do it on a regular basis though.

Just checked, I’m at 311 on my main server

This meme must be old as Java 9 added jmods

Huh, yeah I suppose that’s true. Qubes is an interesting project but I’m not sure it’s for me. I selectively isolate apps I worry about using containers, I actually should give flatpak a try as it basically does that for me but I haven’t seriously tried it yet.

Ollama is also a cool way of running multiple models locally

Eh? Idk if I agree. My original comment was entirely a joke based on the fact that the literal argument of=/dev/sda has no affect on my system but to address your actual point. I personally don’t find nvme naming any more confusing than SCSI. /dev/nvme0n1 is only one char away from /dev/nvme1n1 just like sda vs sdb. Additionally if you understand how the kernel comes up with those names they make a lot of sense. The first number is the controller, the second is the namespace or drive attached to that controller, the 3rd if present is the partition on the given drive. It is entirely possible to have a controller with more than one namespace. That aside aside…I think there is a genuine benefit to be argued for having USB drives, which are SCSI and fall into sdX naming separate from system drives as I dd far more USB media than system media. Making it a lot harder to screw my system up when trying to poke a flash drive.

I am immune to /dev/sda for I only have nvme

I’m both IT and development…and I’ve caught both sides being utterly wrong because they’re only familiar with one and not the other

I also love Java, especially all the goodies added in 17. I’m not German though… 🤔

Linux remaps 0.0.0.0 to 127.0.0.1 when you attempt to use it as an address…does the same thing for :: remapping it to ::1

I’m so glad someone posted this. I was going to lol

Wow that sounds like a headache, even though I’ve avoided python for other reasons that sounds like an additional reason to do so. Also the reason I avoid npm isn’t for a technical reason like you’ve outlined here. It’s because even installing npm requires me to install an entire other Linux distros worth of packages. Why do I need to install like 100+ new packages just to use a freaking package manager???

…is it truly that bad? npm is the reason I don’t even install software based on node on my machines… python doesn’t seem nearly as bad by comparison? (I run it, just don’t like to write it) Maybe it’s worse than I realize

That syntax decision is single handedly why I avoid python if possible

I didn’t know KDE had layer shell 🤔. I knew it had some wlrootsy stuff but that’s interesting. Looks really nice though

Wells Fargo cuts to 14 on their sign in page but not on their change password page, ask me how I know

You’re talking about Java(Jakarta) EE, my comment is primarily targeted at Java SE. I find that the Java standard library on its own and core language is pretty nice if you use modern versions like Java 21. If I had to complain it’d be about checked exceptions, they annoy me but otherwise the language is fine. I’ve never worked with the full enterprise web stack, I use servelts for web and do a large amount of Java SE desktop development, not with swing, fuck swing. Primarily LWJGL and JavaFX. I love that language, more than most. At work I use a lot of C# and I hate it, I miss Java when I have to write C#. I just don’t love it, mostly due to all the little annoyances and missing things(no labeled breaks, no diamond operator for generics, etc). I try to use Java for projects where I can but it’s not always an option.

Honestly modern Java has a lot of really nice features and I think it gets a lot of unfair hate
