    Anyone can make things a bit complicated but to make things really complex you need to be a frontend dev.

    Wisdom teeth should really be called rebel teeth. You generally lose them as you lose your youthful rebelliousness and the darn things often rebel against the establishment of growing straight up.

    @moonman @maiyannah I thought it was an off-by-default setting. But on nightly they might have enabled it.

    @bob @maiyannah Considering it's Mozilla we're talking about I fear the easiest way to have them make a gazillion options that nobody understands the nuances of is to tell them to think of it as gender. :P

    @maiyannah @moonman Essentially the NSA can force Cloudflare to hand over all DNS traffic instead of sniffing it from the internet exchanges. It makes it somewhat more convenient for them and avoids problems like requests not reaching them because the local DNS server of the user's ISP has them cached. I really doubt that it makes much of a practical difference to the NSA since the kind of requests they're interested in tends to be about niche domains which by their nature tend not to be in ISP caches and they still "need" to tap that traffic for other browsers. What's more worrying to me is the ease with which Mozilla makes everyone using their browser reliant on a centralized proprietary service. DNS has its flaws but it's a beautiful example of a decentralized service that both scales very well and is massively useful to everyone on the internet.

    @bob @maiyannah True, though I fear it could become a bit too complex for the average user without some excellent UI design.

    @maiyannah Not a fan of it either. But I do understand the tradeoff. It makes it easier for government agencies, in particular those of the US to track people but it makes classic DNS spoofing harder. So for some threat models it's a plus, for others it's a negative. The problem is that the choice is made underwater. Ideally a browser would just present a clear configuration wizard that lays out the choices with the pros and cons.

    @maiyannah Yeah, I fully agree. But I just can't wrap my head around why people would see an awesome gift and the first thing they do is complain that they want more.

    Devs open source commercial game. Longest issue thread is about the license being CC-BY-NC for the assets (code is MIT) because it's not strictly DSFG-and-the-like compatible. Sigh.

    Finally got around to compiling Star Ruler 2, which went surprisingly smoothly for a program that doesn't have a configure step (i.e. only Makefiles). Ran the tutorial, the game seems to contain quite a few interesting concepts like planets importing resources from other planets in order to grow. Something tells me before long this will be one of the big games in Linux distros.

    @maiyannah Well, not even that. It's calling yourself a lock picker because you blocked a door in front of it by blowing up the ceiling in front of it.

    Executing a byte buffer by casting it to a void pointer is simultaneously cool, useful and horrifying IMHO. https://github.com/m4tx/uefi-jitfuck/tree/master/src

    In case anyone in interested how a modern (and judging by its predecessor probably quite decent) space 4X game looks like: https://github.com/BlindMindStudios/StarRuler2-Source

    @maiyannah I'm afraid there isn't enough memory in my computer to store that list.

    A webserver running with more privileges than the kernel. What could possibly go wrong?

    Why does just about any answer to any CSS question start with position: absolute? I'm an absolute CSS noob and even I know that's a terrible idea.

    Hmm, instant "the page is taking too long to load" on a github project. Now all it needs is a blue background and white letters and MS developers should feel right at home. :P

    Hoping this spec will get adopted https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-rescorla-tls-esni-00#section-2. No SNI leaks would make life for nefarious organizations like ISP's ;) and the NSA a little harder.

    @camoceltic So basically the old cussword filter but with a leftist rationale instead of a rightist rationale.
