I’d be more concerned as well if this would be an over-night change, but I’d say that the rollout is slow and gradual enough that giving it more time would just lead to more procrastination instead, rather than finding solutions. Particularly for those following the news, which all sysadmins should, the reduction in certificate lifespan over time has been going on for a while now with a clear goal of automation becoming the only viable path forward.

I’ll also go out on a limb and make a guess that a not insignificant amount of people only think that their “special” case can’t be automated. I wouldn’t even be surprised if many of those could be solved by a bog-standard reverse-proxy setup.

Part of this might be my general disdain towards sysadmins who don’t know the first thing about technology and security, but I can’t help but notice that article is weirdly biased:

Over the past couple of days, these unsung heroes who keep the internet up and running flocked to Reddit to bemoan their soon-to-be increasing workload.

Kind of weird to praise random Reddit users who might or might not actually sysadmins that much for not keeping up with the news, or put any kind of importance onto Reddit comments in the first place.

Personally, I’m much more partial to the opinions of actual security researchers and hope this passes. All publicly used services should use automated renewals with short lifespans. If this isn’t possible for internal devices some weird reason, that’s what private CAs are for.

Personally, I watch the channels from the creators I like and slowly grow my channels through their recommendations. My bookmark goes straight to the subscription page and have uBlock filters for all the unwanted recommendations.

I couldn’t stand having an algorithm decide what I watch.

I see. So it’s less about editing the pictures themself, and more about what they’ll be used for.

And yeah, Krita is main image editing and drawing tool as well, helped out by Inkscape for vector graphics and Aseprite for pixel art.

Instead, I think Krita has a good chance of moving into photo editing with enough funding.

As someone who doesn’t really do photo editing, one thing I never quite understood is what’s missing for that to be viable right now.

For reference, the one time I had to edit a photo a few years ago, I just used Krita to move/remove a few objects and do some basic color grading. It didn’t feel like there was anything missing.

Granted, I never used software like Photoshop either.

You can enable it, but it just won’t work when more than a single monitor is connected to an Nvidia GPU.

Right now the only workaround other than turning off secondary monitors while gaming is connecting all but one monitor to an iGPU, assuming you have one.

As far as I know Nvidia has recently confirmed that they can reproduce the issue, so hopefully it’ll be fixed soon.

Surely they didn’t mention multi-monitor VRR support because the work for that is already done and just about to arrive in the next beta driver any day now, right?

I’ve worked around the issue with an AMD iGPU, but still.

That’s assuming people actually use a parser and don’t build their own “parser” to read values manually.

And before anyone asks: Yes, I’ve known people who did exactly that and to this day I’m still traumatized by that discovery.

But yes, comments would’ve been nice.

On one hand I agree, on the other hand I just know that some people would immediately abuse it and put relevant data into comments.

At the very least it failed in a way that’s obvious by giving you contradictory statements. If it left you with only the wrong statements, that’s when “AI” becomes really insidiuos.

register hours in Windows. We also all have iPhones that we only use for 2FA.

Without background information that sounds kind of insane. Switching to alternative time tracking software and getting YubiKeys or alternatives instead for 2FA would’ve saved so much money as well as time every day.

Even further, there’s also a clean split between the game and the framework they’ve built for it. So people can actually build their own games or tools using the osu!framework, and some already did so.

Which is neat, because it seems to me like it’s really performant and of course, low-latency, based on what I’ve seen trying the new client.

Considering the movie industry is currently at a point where it’s even punishing paying customers with low-quality 720p for daring to use the “wrong” browser, I don’t think the industry will figure out that there’s a market out there for high quality drm-free media anytime soon.

There really should be a right to adequate human support that’s not hidden behind multiple barriers. As you said, it can be a timesaver for the simple stuff, but there’s nothing worse than the dread when you know that your case is going to need some explanation and an actual human that is able to do more than just following a flowchart.

Depends a bit on the clients.

• KeePass: Will ask you if you want to synchronize/overwrite/discard the database when saving.
• KeePassXC: Will autoreload the database in the background, so merge conflicts shouldn’t happen in the first place. Otherwise there’s ‘Merge database’ in the menu.
• KeePass2Android: So I mixed up the names and this is the client I actually use. This one does all changes to an internal copy of the database that is then synchronized on request.
• KeePassDX: As far as I can see it also has a mechanism similar too KeePass2Android.

Assuming you only have one desktop and mobile client you should never run into any issues. If you do have multiple KeePassXC clients it’s all fine as well assuming Syncthing always has another client it can sync with.

Most amazingly, this setup is also unexpectedly resilient against merge conflicts and can sync even when two copies have changed. You wouldn’t expect that from tools relying on 3rd party file syncing.

I still try to avoid it, but every time it accidentally happened, I could just merge the changes automatically without losing data.

Oh yeah, you’re right. It’s both degradation in some way, but through entirely different causes.

Technically you can do everything through email, because everything online can be represented as text. Doesn’t mean you should.

PRs also aren’t just a simple back and forth anymore: Tagging, Assignees, inline reviews, CI with checks, progress tracking, and yes, reactions. Sure, you can kinda hack all of that into a mailing list but at that point it’s becoming really clunky and abuses email even more for something it was never meant to handle. Having a purpose-built interface for that is just so much nicer.

I’m sorry to be blunt, but mailing lists just suck for group conversations and are a crutch that only gained popularity due to the lack of better alternatives at the time. While the current solutions also come with their own unique set of drawbacks, it’s undeniable that the majority clearly prefers them and wouldn’t want to go back. There’s a reason why almost everyone switched over.

I’d guess because the same argument could be made for the website you’re on right now. Why use that when we could just use mailing lists instead?

More specifically: Sure, Git is decentral at its core, but all the tooling that has been built around it, like issue tracking, is not. Suggesting to go back to email, even if some projects still use it, isn’t the way to go forward.
