It was somehow astonishing to me that the code which is actually shipped (tarball) is not the very same code as the one in the repo. Somehow renders code reviews useless. Seems to be a common practice anyway.

> Once chosen in device setup, the region used for DMA compliance can only be changed by resetting the PC.

I’m hoping that despite this, the changes they’re making make it easier for third party tools to do the same thing without changing your region

Can someone associated with PayPal being that article to some decision maker’s attention, please? I believe their session timeout is fixed to 5min of inactivity, which you easily reach when doing some accounting tasks with PayPal purchases. Renders PayPal to the most annoying web app I frequently need to use…

As for each purpose several keys exist, according to the article, geographic key distribution wouldn’t be necessary anyway.

Funny that he considers certificate expiry as vulnerability.

Seems to be a specific action/order by mentioned ISP. Using the biggest ISP in Austria (A1) still allows access to listed IPs.

I see failures on Magenta, A1 (in parts), Liwest and Drei. It’s not constantly blocked which is why I think they didn’t fully roll it out yet.

Also failures won’t happen if you have an IPv6 connection and it can connect that way.

How did you manage to get the dictionaries for all those languages? If I didn’t miss it, that part is left open in the article after explaining how highly priced they are…

From the article: "I landed on the freeDictionary API that uses the Wiktionary as a source.".

Why didn't they just download the dumps via https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiktionary/ (as explained in https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Help:FAQ#Downloading_Wiktiona...)

Scraping, even via an api, is way less efficient imho.

They’re in wikitext, which looks to be considerably less semantic than the crawled data. I’m not sure that’s the reason, but it could be a reason.

I'd say not the reason, since the wiki text is pretty semantic. the wiki source of https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/subbureau#English is:

  ==English==

  ===Etymology===
  {{prefix|en|sub|bureau}}

  ===Noun===
  {{en-noun|s|subbureaux}}

  # A [[district]]-level public security bureau in [[China]].

so as long as one can parse wikitext, it's split pretty well up!

I have 15.6 stable installed and when opening the Stripe test page I receive an error in Firefox (“Either your browser does not support the Payment Request API, or you do not have a saved payment method.”)

iOS 16 beta apparently provides the framework updates necessary for third-party iOS App Store browsers to use it. So you won’t be able to use it on 15.X unless they backport, which is unlikely.

Stripe's demo doesn't work on desktop Firefox, either.

> Either your browser does not support the Payment Request API, or you do not have a saved payment method. To try out the Payment Request Button live demo, switch to one of the supported browsers below, and make sure you have a saved payment method.

Desktop Firefox doesn’t use the Apple WebKit engine on the backend, so that’s up to the Firefox Desktop team to implement on their own (and tie into the OS native if available, which I suspect depends on you running the latest macOS beta, assuming they’re working on it yet).

EDIT: Which they’re not, per above.

Apple Pay does not work in non-Safari WebKit browsers on macOS as of Ventura beta 4.

Firefox doesn't implement Payment Request, so no Payment Request based payment methods would work.

It's implemented but off by default; there's a `dom.payments.request.enabled` feature flag, but it doesn't make the Stripe demo work.

I also used to use catch all domains for all kind of registrations and my form was <domain>@mydomain.at (e.g. ycombinator.com@mydomain.at). That most of the time solves the management aspect, except for some special cases where several domains share a unified login (e.g. Google or Stack Exchange).

Anyway, I’ve changed to iCloud’s Hide My Email some months ago, as this is much easier to use and you have easier control on all used emails. You can even add a comment to each address in the moment of creation. Also disabling (blocking) single addresses works like a charm.

Seems to be a region specific issue; I’ve just tried to proceed to checkout with 7 CDs in the cart on Amazon.de and the only warning I got was a changed price notification.
