Not to mention that Canvas is a cornerstone of fingerprinting.

Can relate to that. Nowadays it's much easier for me to fork a project and fix the bugs for myself rather than convincing the maintainers that my niche bug is worth a fix and the fix is worthy.

It hurts reading this after just realizing that I can't unlock my Samsung S24's bootloader anymore (to take control of my phone), because Samsung has decided to erase that feature irreversibly using a remote update.

I have a Cisco MR18 router that bridges my LAN to my remote NAS. It would have become e-waste if not for OpenWrt.

When I was visiting my mom a few years back in my hometown, I converted her cheap plastic Xiaomi Mi router into an ordinary router using the OpenWRTInvasion exploit. That router then bridged a remote SIP phone to the main LAN, which was connected to the internet through another plastic router that had also been turned into an ordinary router, again thanks to OpenWrt.

That project is fantastic, and the people behind it are doing great work. Can't recommend them highly enough.

I have started to think of engineers who have entirely replaced their critical thought processes with AI agents, AI proxies.

That reply was educational indeed. Thanks for sharing.

Writing this in GrapheneOS where Google Play and Services run just like another app in a sandbox. Moreover, there is a network access permission that allows you to block any app from accessing the network, which is surprisingly the reason why Google does not approve GrapheneOS as compatible to let it pass hardware attestation test (if enforced).

Malicious actors would always find them. Hiding information just creates a false sense of safety among public, which benefits politicians mostly.

Can't you simply make a PR against the other PR's branch?

> It’s an itch – a feeling that something is really important, and you need to do something about it, and nobody else can possibly do it except you.

Might be difficult to believe, but I strongly believe there are things that no one else on this planet would do except one of us.

To add to what others have said, I would ask every person in my team what's the most important think I need to know.

I'm running my website with Jekyll for around a decade. Interestingly I use sqlite for comments submitted to the server (cgi-bin, mind you) and populate the pages during build. Your plugin is a perfect match for my usecase. Will definitely consider it. Nice work!
