The value of `admin_id` is "root_1231231", which is indeed the same length as "foobarbazboo". Otherwise, yeah, no idea where the bug comes from.

If only crypto was actually used as intended...

I do wonder how easy is it for buisnesses, that only accept crypto (lets say monero), to turn it back into fiat, and how willing are regular people to set up and acquire crypto to pay.

Tokens be too expensive. Outsource to subs of all the devs over the world. OpenAI inverstors gonna take the inference L on subsidized tokens.

Wdym ParseError::InvalidU64? Any 8 bytes are a valid u64, you already checked the len and should just unwrap.

Can't wait for an NVIDIA engineer to use AI to help with security chip design and AI planting a backdoor for its own kind.

And how is this different from downloading a file from a GitHub releases page? Or even installing from FlatHub with full fs perms (which would make sense for a text editor)?

Can you list your exact complaints? It's a GUI like any other.

Did you try spoofing the User-Agent?

I think you guys on HN can be a bit out of touch maybe? On my linux machine (measured with tux-manager):

  nautilus                            177 MB
  kitty                               150 MB
  alacritty                           107 MB
  mpv --idle --force-window           160 MB
  winit empty window + OpenGL context 100 MB
  tux-manager                         69  MB
  hexchat                             55  MB
  gnome-terminal                      47  MB
  st                                  12  MB
  xterm                               12  MB
All these apps are what you would consider native, good apps. Written with Qt, GTK, some in low level langs like C\C++, Rust as well. There is of course different ways to measure the usage and maybe some more testing needs to be done, but stuff like 1-10 MB seems completely unrealistic. I think any empty Qt/GTK app eats 40 MB at least. Only thing that even gets close is st at 12 MB. And mind you it's a terminal (which is 1000x simpler than any modern GUI app, doesn't load any assets etc) and it doesn't even use any GPU accel (which itself seem to add a lot of baseline cost).

Honestly I was a bit surprised myself. I have a Rust winit + ash vulkan hardcoded triangle demo app and it eats 86 MB (the binary itself is 5.5 MB). I would love to know, if anyone could explain why GPU accel seems to eat up so much RAM. Like yeah, there are a bunch of images that live on swapchain, but they should all be in VRAM. Outside of that I don't see what would require MBs worth of overhead.

I just store them in bitwarden. Wonder what 2FA actually protects against, when any malware will just steal your session tokens anyway.

It seems only encrypt and throw away the key would be the acceptable strategy
