  • Linux is slow at killing apps when you run out of memory because it was designed to also run on low spec hardware even if very slowly (making the ui totally unrensposnive) due to swapping.

    This comic is about the kill command, how Linux kernel is handling force stopping apps vs (old?) Windows when if App frozed it was hard to close it. Now with modern apps and hardware you very rarely see that as most apps are designed to have asynchronous logic that is correctly handled, but it’s still more or less relevant.













  • “Gdyby do tego doszło, służby mogłyby się domagać od ich dostawców informacji o tym, kto ich używa (jednak bez możliwości wglądu w treść korespondencji)” — czytamy w “DGP”.

    Oni chcą dostęp do metadanych, kto z kim, wiele (jak nie większość) platform ma takie informacje w formie nie szyfrowanej.


  • wykradziono bazę danych o polskich sportowcach. Archiwum to prawie 250 GB danych, czyli ok. 250 tys. plików, w tym wyniki badań czy ekspertyzy medyczne dotyczące zdrowia sportowców (również psychicznego). Bazę danych opublikowano w portalu Telegram.

    Znowu politycy, wciskając palce gdzie nie maja, publiczne kanały i grupy Telegrama nie są szyfrowane, a oni próbują użyć tego jako pretekstu to monitorowania szyfrowanej komunikacji?





  • Not true, I’m just fighting the myth that incognito mode gives you (any) privacy.

    Company have many legal reasons to store my IP and they do so, don’t have a problem with it, but they can’t use it legally for advertising without consent. You are agreeing to tracking, that in turn allow them to use your IP for tracking, it doesnt matter if its in incognito mode as now they can track you legally also outside. So your comment about using incognito is just plain wrong.

    Ultimatily it’s about the rules (including gdpr), I don’t agree/approve to be tracked and don’t want my visit to be linked to me, so if the website like that don’t want to provide content in exchange for ads (like in the OP case above) then they don’t need to.

    I fully know they can (and probably doing it without asking because they can) track my activity to serve targeted ads. I just voice my disgust and voice my disapproval with the state the advertising is now, and propose a solution that I personally am fine with it.

    Why do you think I’m using adblock and pi-hole for?
