Yeah, I would say that this applies in general. That hat that we associate with a particular kind of socially maladjusted individual is not the faithful fedora but its contemptable cousin: the thrilby.

Completely agree with all your points. On a tangential note, I wish opensecrets had an rss feed...

Telegram Removes Z-Library Posts 'Due to Copyright Infringement' * TorrentFreak in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I wouldn't recommend Signal for privacy. It has quite a few concerning issues. There are some good alternatives however. I think Briar is good if privacy is your chief concern. Sam Bent compared some of the other alternatives in this video.

Are there any organisations that audit FOSS code? (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm sure there are orgs that audit FOSS code for security and privacy. Could you guys let me know what some of the main orgs that do this? Do you have any ones you like in particular.

Why Pay A Pentester? (thehackernews.com)
 

What do you guys think? I don't think there's a lot of depth to the arguments, myself. It reads more like an threadbare op-ed with a provocative title. But I'd like to hear you opinions on the impact of automated testing solutions on the role of pen-testers in the industry.

5 minute ad breaks every 15 minutes kinda ruin the experience.

Introduction to List Comprehensions (youtube.com)
 

Brendan Metcalfe's intro series to list comprehensions is one of the best I've come across. In addition to showing how to use them, he compares it to other similar methods and shows why LCs can be more effective. Wanted to share his stuff here.
