On Linux file systems you can use any character except NULL, and / is a reserved character.
E.g. on ext-4 “All characters and character sequences permitted, except for NULL (‘\0’), ‘/’, and the special file names “.” and “…” which are reserved for indicating (respectively) current and parent directories.”
Of course it doesn’t. It’s just a convenient smoke screen. Education and parental oversight are the key.
True. I’ve just seen requests to that file in my demo env for web apps I have and I’ve seen my browser request that file by itself when running those locally.
Why would you ever want to route your request like this through a third party especially an ad company? To get the favicon of a site you just request www.example.com/favicon.ico.
Couldn’t be happier with them. They just work and announce ahead of time about any maintenance. Have a storage box from them for backups and a vps for other uses. I do my backups with pika-backup (a borg frontend).
natives apps in principle could be faster and use more of your hardware —in practice though, they tend to be horribly bloated electron crapps.
Electron “apps” are just glorified web pages anyhow. Native applications do offer superior performance as they are AOT compiled code. The ones that are written in rust, c, c++ etc, and if they are gui applications use frameworks like QT or GTK+. They are called native since they are compiled to machine code and are directly executable in the cpu without any kind of runtime like electron browser, java or python.
To sign an EU petition you have to be a citizen of a EU member state.
A solution is not to use any product, service or software made by MS or google.
According to wikipedia Forgejo development is run by Codeberg which is a non-profit organization so I doubt they will start charging money. GitLab is managed by a for-profit corporation so anything is possible with them.
Stop using github. Move to something else e.g. codeberg.
And Kotlin.
Clicking on that picture in the link brought me back to this post. So it seems it just directs you back to the referrer.
Does the US government want Google’s developers of the Chromium codebase to work on another company’s payroll instead?
Probably. The point is that google can’t have any direct control of the browser as there’s a conflict of interest between google’s ad and other business and how web is developing. Take manifest v3 for example. Blocking content blockers directly benefits google’s ad-business. Also removing support for third party cookies etc benefits google’s ad-business while hampering others.
Quite true. Linux and all modules loaded into it are GPL licensed. The userland and tooling on the other hand can be licensed however. They are free to close source on anything except kernel code.
This is the first step in moving to fully closed source. I guess degooled versions are getting too popular thus a threat to google’s business.
You can set the webpage to self refresh on interval by itself no extensions needed.
“Page refresh”. You mean F5 (or ctrl + r) right?
All of these already sound shady.
China is so proud of this move.
