Are you not using TweetDeck because you don't know about it, or because you don't like it? Because it hasn't changed appreciably in years and has for a long time been the only way you could control feeds with respect to whether you want to see retweets and a bunch of other nonsense that keeps timelines unreadable.

Why do you think they invented QUIC rather than using SCTP(over UDP, optionally) when the reference implementation for that has existed in FreeBSD since version 7?

Similar to how FreeBSD (and the other BSDs) is the OS of Theseus, SeaMonkey is the Browser of Theseus. SeaMonkey (and Firefox, of course) has a direct lineage going back through Netscape Navigator and NCSA Mosaic to libwww, which is the first dynamic library written by Tim Berners Lee to build browsers upon. Like the Ship of Theseus, not a single individual part that's in the code today can be traced back to the original versions of either FreeBSD or Firefox if you were to examine their sources as they are now (though with comments it's sometimes easier). The only way to prove this is to do what I and other nerds have done, ie. manually go source code spelunking through version control systems (if they're available; if not you have to do a lot more footwork to compare source code).

Klyith posted:Yeah, so the thing about the cloud-based password managers is that they can't leak your passwords, because the vault is encrypted with your master password. If you forget your password and ask them to reset it they can't do it (bitwarden as an example, but 1password keepass and lastpass are the same). While Linux doesn't have dtrace in mainline, KVM (used by Google and Amazon) can presumably be traced with eBPF (which is the Linux equivalent of dtrace, and is based on Berkeley Packet Filters which came from BSD) so I don't see how that's any different. Windows just recently added dtrace, and Hyper-V is used for Azure. That covers just about every hypervisor. The point of all of this isn't to scare anyone away from using the (well, this shouldn't be the only reason - there are plenty more reasons for that than just this), but to make it clear that they're not in any way magic. Also, minor detail - but do you mean that Bitwarden had an independent audit done, or do you mean they did the audit? Because the latter isn't independent, and the sentence doesn't lead me to believe it's the former.

Klyith posted:I was replying to a guy worried about a cloud password manager doing the same thing as equifax and having everyone's passwords dumped, which can't happen. I made no claims about immunity to your pc being locally compromised, because they aren't. That's not a security flaw in your password manager, that's a security flaw in your entire universe. For the record, I use KeePass - I was exclusively talking about the ones using KeePass with OTP and keyfiles is real nice, although I wish it could integrate into FreeBSDs PAM, so I could tie it to a local account like the Windows client can do. And it's good to hear that it's independently audited, because anything else makes it sounds like OpenBSD developers.

Thank gently caress I got the hardware to do a proper build server, because building firefox + rust + spidermonkey takes loving ages even on 16 threads and 96GB memory - even with (hw.ncpu*2)-1 threads plus build objects and everything else in memory (thanks to poudriere and tmpfs on FreeBSD which can easily handle double the number of threads for multithreaded building).

The master passphrase should be for the generated keyfile which unlocks the password database, not the passphrase for the database itself. An OPT USB dongle to read passwords out of the database on top of that would be even better. That way, you type your master password to unlock and whenever you need a login for a website you just insert your dongle.

In hindsight, I do wonder how things would've turned out had Mozilla further refined everything to the point that it's reached today (where it can supply most of the functionality that XUL offered), instead of forcing developers and users to switch before it was fully mature (but "good enough" for browsing and basic add-ons). Not that it makes any lick of difference, but FreeBSD still and Firefox previously has gotten me used to expecting POLA - so it was kind of a rough awakening, even if I stuck it out (long ago I decided never to use Chromium, partly because they rejected Robert Watsons capabilities sandboxing patches for it, and partly because back then Flash was still around and Chromium couldn't block ads in Flash whereas Firefox could).

If the bitwarden company goes bust (or has some security nightmare that's worth fleeing from), it's a chore to move to some other service. With Keepass + whatever cloud, even if dropbox goes bust it's relatively easy to move to a different provider and continue on.

Also, despite the fact that there's a lot of processes, all the ones that have the same number are sharing the resident set, so they aren't taking up any more memory. I guess my point with this is to ask whether you're sure you were looking at the resident set or not?

SIGSEGV posted:It was definitely real memory use enough that the OS wouldn't claw it back in my case. It kinda sucked but FF has stopped doing it without giving me a single hint as to what was going on and without changing anything. Obviously it hasn't hit FreeBSD directly, but Jason Evans (the creator, and a FreeBSD commiter) found that jemalloc 5.2.1 breaks compilations on non-llvm hardware platforms in the FreeBSD tree. All that being said, the Javascript Baseline Interpreter makes a noticable difference on javascript-heavy websites, so it's definitely a good update!

Megillah Gorilla posted:Is there any functional difference between tampermonkey and violentmonkey? TamperMonkey is effectively-closed source, but is also the most optimized in terms of fasts/second that I've been able to suss out with some very limited testing. TamperMonkey being closed-source is less than ideal, but for what it's worth the developer is German and has a company which is subject to GDPR with respect to TamperMonkey - so that's something? GreaseMonkey is fully opensource, but doesn't have a very fast update schedule - though it's still kept up-to-date, and is probably the oldest as I believe it's the original. EDIT: There is apparently a new API that the various monkey scripts can benefit from using (in multiple ways, including easier sandboxing), and there's even a newly-written closed-source(?) browser extension which takes advantage of them.

One word from a diceware list has about the same value as 2 alphanumeric characters. If 6 random words is easier to remember than 12 random characters, that's fine and you should feel great using words. But words do not have any inherent value.

Here's a fun thing to consider: One of the very first things anyone learns to write, helloworld, can lead to system exploits because on most systems it issues +65 syscalls and it only takes a few bugs in the kernel to suddenly lead to privilege escalation - although it's mostly theoretical, even if there's quite a few avenues. And in the only-slightly-less-simple-than-helloworld case, there was once a remote code execution attack with priviledge escalation against fingerd (and that exploit is not why nobody uses it anymore).

I'm seeing the weirdest issue where one of firefox's threads called Socket Thread is taking up 100% of one core, and another called Timer is taking up 50%. Here's a log of what the firefox PID is doing, grabbed via dtruss, although it's an absolute mystery to me what's happening with those stack traces. What's especially weird is that it also does it in safe-mode where all add-ons are supposed to be turned off, which means that unless I can figure out exactly what preference is doing it, it seems as if I have no solution but to create a new profile and migrate all of the extensions over manually (since naturally I can't risk copying the preferences) - or so it seems to me? I would really appreciate some ideas.
