I think a sensible architecture would involve many pools of wallets with different availability. So the majority of funds can probably be completely offline, with only occasional transfers to/from various offline vaults. The there could be different groups of different levels of online funds that are ideally physically separated (individual teams and employees can only access a subset of the wallets).

I can maybe remember CVE-2026. But there is no way I can remember 6 random digits.

What if they never fix it? Is there at least a deadline where the researcher's are ungagged? What if the exploit is being used in the wild, can the researcher warn people then?

I'm having the same issue. It seems that their CRL updates aren't working well on Android?

The words in a novel and the order in which try appear are so facts. But somehow that is clearly copyrightable.

This is the only way. Auto mode is really just yolo mode with more LLM tokens billed. It may catch some weird shit but it isn't a reliable sandbox. Just lock up the LLM and let it run.

Not only revenue but enterprise users are valuable market share. Think of things like Slack calling which last I checked don't work in Firefox unless you spoof the user-agent. More enterprise users will force better Firefox support in a huge variety of websites which will benefit all Firefox users.

I wonder if you keep compiling back and forth would you ever hit a cycle or would it be constantly growing?

I don't mind 64-day certificates. However they recommended renew at 2/3 validity remaining means that I can no longer take a month off without needing to be prepared to debug a certificate re-issuance problem. Not a problem for companies with 24/7 oncall or even at most a week of the whole company off at a time. But for individuals this is pretty annoying.

Sure, re-issuance usually works. But when you only do it every 42 days it does break from time-to-time without you noticing.

I would love if we still renew with 30d remaining. I really don't care if they reduce certificate lifetime to 31 days as long as I am allowed to renew daily. But lowering the gap between expiry and when you are allowed to renew is very annoying.

That list is the IPs users connect to. It is entirely distinct from the list of IPs the VPN traffic egresses from. I doubt believe that they publish their egress ranges.

Of course I wouldn't recommend taking the conclusion. But it is a valuable view of some differences that the Forgejo developers perceive as valuable.

Seriously, are you proud of the new look? SHOW IT TO ME. Even the video was mostly themed mock-ups that didn't show what the actual design looks like. Just post a screenshot of the whole browser.

llama.cpp has a flake in-repo that I often use for trying out different branches and patches. I also have yet to have an issue just replacing the src and build number attribute in the nixpkgs build (in one cases I wanted to add an additional CMake flag but that was also easy).

IMHO this is way easier than without Nix in many cases as figuring out the upstream build process and getting it running can often be quite the chore. With Nix it is all set up for you.

One major issue with Vary is that it makes cache coalescing very complicated. This is because you can't know whether two requests will share a response until you get that response. So for subsequent requests you need to decide if you should block it hoping that the response will satisfy it or if you should send it through pessimistically, possibly triggering a thundering herd effect on every cache rotation.

I'm not sure if it is possible to solve this nicely in a generic way, but it does make it a bit ugly.
