Fun fact, I created pg_azure_storage :)
brinox · a year ago
I was just wondering if pg_parquet could be combined with pg_azure_storage to write Parquet files to Azure Storage.

I had problems with pg_azure_storage in the past, because the roles pg_read_server_files and pg_write_server_files are unassignable on Azure PostgreSQL databases which makes the use of `COPY {FROM,TO}` impossible.

No, it is. Running unsigned exes with no sandbox actually is risky, and game jams are a specific case where it comes up.

Running signed binaries neither is as long as the corresponding keys leak all the time [1].

Anyone can just get their malware signed by just throwing some dollars at it.

Okay it's open source but self-hosting it is not straightforward. The repo's self-hosting doc link returns a 404. Then after manually finding https://docs.plane.so/self-hosting/self-hosting, I am warned that there is a dizzying array of 4 env files. I suppose they are in a tricky situation, in that while they want to stand out as open source, actually having people easily self-host it, is perhaps, not a goal that is currently in their interest! Correction: removed wrong Docker-Compose command interpretation, as I have been schooled!

`docker-compose` is the old style of doing it.

Newer versions of Docker have Compose available as a CLI plugin, so the command `docker compose` with space is correct.

My family and a few friends are on Facebook and I don't see a reason why I should ask them to switch to ... what exactly?

They found old friends on the platform and they keep sharing pictures and stories and seem to be having fun.

That is useful and I'm willing to scroll past ads and even - shocking I know - click on an ad.

I'm pretty sure I'm a regular user and FB has hundreds of millions of those.

Mastodon.

Looks great, but do peoples IT security policy’s actually let you use tools like this? Unofficial clients for things like Jira and Slack are basically banned for me. I can sorta see why, realistically I’m not gonna audit this and see if it’s going to slurp all my Jiras when I’m not looking.
brinox · 4 years ago
Do you also audit / control web browsers the clients are using?

Congrats, you've just discovered referential transparency :-)

Such a nice feature of functional programming languages, like excel formulae.

> You Still Need Third-Party Antivirus With Windows 11

At that point I stopped reading.

> PCMag security expert Neil Rubenking states that you still need third-party antivirus software.

Please stop suggesting snake oil software to the folks out there calling yourself an "expert".

brinox commented on Google wants every account to use 2FA, starts auto-enrolling users   arstechnica.com/gadgets/2... · Posted by u/leephillips
benbristow · 4 years ago
Can't say I disagree with this. I've been using 2FA on anything that supports it via Bitwarden's built in TOTP support for a while now (my Bitwarden is also protected by TOTP also).

Autofill username/password and the token is automatically copied to the clipboard on both desktop & iOS for inputting after entering credentials. Painless and secure.

brinox · 4 years ago
It's very convenient, yes.

If your Bitwarden vault is compromised however, you only have a single factor, because both the password and the TOTP secret are stored in the same place.

WPBT = "Windows Protected Boot"
brinox · 4 years ago
It would be really nice to always spell out the abbreviation once, put in in brackets and then use it afterwards. That would save so many people precious time.
