Speaking for myself, the "blast radius" of my email address is some 600+ accounts... (just looking in my password manager). The chances of me sitting down and closing every single one are non-existent. Many won't even have the luxury of having diligently tracked their login accounts in a password manager either.
Just having a family, kids, bills, schools, jobs, credit cards, banks, investments, insurance, shopping etc etc - the number of accounts many of us pick up can easily get into the hundreds.
Before I used micro & ne I used nano, and configured the keybindings to work in the CUA style. I still have the dot files, didn't delete them, but they rarely get used anymore.
I think they recently added Ctrl+S to save by default, even if unconfigured, woohoo.
Promising but very barebones. Hard to do without syntax highlighting these days, for example. But I think it would be useful on a tiny machine with openwrt, as micro is huge there. ;-)
I only ever had it a problem with large, poorly maintained projects from work. You know the kind that have two web frameworks required in the same project, and two orms, etc. ;-) That one I definitely put into a venv. But my stuff, no.
I suggest a systems administration course if you're having so much trouble with Python libs. It can help, knowing your way around the filesystem and how to use PATHs, etc.
Hey, good for you that you like doing things the hard, fragile way. Personally I'll stick with the natively supported python solution that was made part of the standard library precisely because the overwhelming majority of Python programmers find your approach unsatisfactory.
It's not hard at all, just a pip install away. Perhaps a rare uninstall later.
It sounds like you haven't read the full thread. It's common for younger developers to be slaves to "best practice" even in exceptions where it doesn't apply.
Appeal to authority is not a compelling argument either.
> “The Committee further found no evidence that Snowden attempted to communicate concerns about the legality or morality of intelligence activities to any officials, senior or otherwise, during his time at either CIA or NSA.”
The documents were obtaied thru a news/search service built by him as IT. The explanation is documented, plausible, likely, and verifiable to some degree.
Contrast that with your message from a vested interest that it's "a lie." You'll need a lot more than that to be convincing.
If true...is the assertion that Snowden waved a magic wand and made the air-gapped information in VA grow wings and fly to Hawaii?
Or is the assertion that some separate (and never caught?) source operating in VA was passing out copies of air-gapped data, and Snowden just happened to be one of the recipients of that?
Or - far more plausible, in light of details we've heard recently about the Teixeira leak - the actual practices in VA were so shoddy that the whole "...air-gapped...not internet enabled..." claim is just CYA BS?
You are the first person in 10 years that I see coming up with that theory. Are sure it wasn't some other operative who simply ignored rules and shared files where he shouldn't?
Because that would be a far more plausible reason than framing as traitor a guy that so far can't really be portraited that way.
> Investigators also need to determine whether anyone else was involved in disclosing the information to reporters, officials said.
> Officials questioned some of Snowden’s assertions in his interview with the Guardian, saying that several of his claims seemed exaggerated. Among them were assertions that he could order wiretaps on anyone from “a federal judge to even the president.”
> “When he said he had access to every CIA station around the world, he’s lying,” said a former senior agency official, who added that information is so closely compartmented that only a handful of top-ranking executives at the agency could access it.
> Current and former administration officials were flummoxed by Snowden’s claim that he was authorized to access the orders from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
It seems very reasonable to believe he never actually got these type of air-gapped files, he just thought he did and also confused intelligence officials. It's also worth pointing out that he himself has been incredibly coy about how he actually got data out of the secure facility (I seem to remember the movie portraying a Rubik's cube).
I was of the opinion until a few months ago that he was a solo actor until that conversation I had with that IT guy. He said the US Gov response to the Snowden leaks was not a hardening of the classification systems, but a doubling down on background checks and training on foreign agents. Especially seeing how Russia has acted the last few years, I an now more open to the idea than I was before.
