  • Docker Swarm encryption doesn’t work for your use case. The documentation says that the secret is stored encrypted but can be decrypted by the swarm manager nodes and nodes running services that use the service, which both apply to your single node. If you’re not having to unlock Docker Compose on startup, that means that the encrypted value and the decryption key live next to each other on the same computer and anyone who has access to the encrypted secrets can also decrypt them.






  • Don’t laptops with batteries use slightly more energy than equivalent PCs? The battery will drain because it loses charge over time or because the laptop is designed to draw power from the battery during normal operation, and then energy is lost when recharging the battery because battery charging is not 100% efficient.

    I don’t know how searxng works, but if it’s making many requests and aggregating the results, you will probably get much worse performance running it on your phone, even if the phone is with you. Instead of making one request over a bad cell connection, you would be making many requests over a bad cell connection.





  • My favorite is when IT deploys software that replaces all the links in your e-mails with https://example.com/phishing/YiCdMdsY so you can’t tell whether the e-mail is phishing or not, frequently sends you very obvious fake phishing e-mails that interrupt your work by going straight to your priority inbox, and punishes anyone caught clicking on phishing e-mails. Then HR sends out e-mails that have all the indicators of low effort phishing and you’re supposed to click on those.
