  • The AGPL license allows the license holder to specify additional terms of the license that require preservation of specified reasonable attributions or legal notices - this is covered in 7B, and the onlyoffice license specifies that the logo must be preserved for attribution.

    Assuming a logo legally counts as reasonable attribution (IANAL) that would put only office in the right here, but holy shit, the fact that the license allows these modifications to be put on line #655 rather than line #2 is absurd. I, like most people I assume, only read far enough into the license to figure out whether it’s MIT or GPL






  • Half of them haven’t been active in 2025, and the first active member i clicked on’s commit history is “fixed a typo on the website” once this year, and once 6 months ago

    It’s a shit metric because people spam OSS repos with “minor text fixes” pull requests so they can slap “inkscape contributor” on their CV.




  • Like once a month we have a fake site pop up using the name of our business with 1-2 characters changed. They use a web crawler to scrape all the content off our domain and they re-host all of our products on a woocommerce site where they steal our customers credit card information.

    These all use cloudflare to conceal the hosting providers, who are entirely non-responsive without a police report or WIPO ruling. When all is said and done, the content is being hosted in China, Russia, or South Africa, meaning the only way to remove the content is from the registrar’s, because they are the only link in the chain that actually has to comply


  • Glass will absorb and retain more heat for longer;steel will absorb energy and heat up more quickly, and dump it just as fast.

    Which was my point - 400g of room temperature ceramic is going to absorb way more heat from 250ml of boiling water than would be lost from the glass-air (or even steel-air) interface during the 2 minutes it takes to do a pourover.

    If both cones are preheated thoroughly, yes, the steel cone will shed heat faster, however I feel like this is also negligible compared to evaporative heat loss and subsequent transfer to a cup





  • The word ‘decipher’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting. I’m wondering if they socially engineered or just found it written somewhere in the house?

    You can plausibly brute force up to 4, maybe 5 words of a seed phrase. It takes longer than a normal password because every seed phrase is technically valid, so the only way to know if your brute force is successful is to generate thousands of addresses at each of the different derivation paths you may expect funds to exist at.

    The same seed phrase is used for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, etc, but each currency uses the seed phrase to generate addresses in a slightly different standard. Additionally, each wallet uses a slightly different variation of that. Within each wallet is a notion of accounts, and within each account you could have dozens of addresses. You need to generate each of those addresses, and scan each cryptocurrencies blockchain to see if those addresses have ever been used.

    Realistically one of three things happened: his seed phrase was written down and they found it, it was password protected or on a drive with weak AES encryption and they cracked THAT instead, or finally, he used a hardware wallet and they exploited a firmware vulnerability to lift the PIN and transfer out funds and/or read the seed from the device



  • I haven’t used dual shock so I can’t speak to that, but as far as Xbox 1/S controllers, there is no 1st party support - literally all the drivers are from some non-MS affiliated GitHub page. 360 controllers required the xpad driver as well - that isn’t 1st party support. Yes they work out of the box with steam if you are using a wired connection, but that’s because it’s going through steaminput (not 1st party either), and making the controls of the submarine dependent on being launched through steam is even more absurd. Gen 2 series 1/S controllers didn’t work via Bluetooth for a long time after they (silently) launched on most LTS Linux OSs due to the kernel missing requisite BLE functionality
