Are Web Components & Cybersecurity A Better Combo?

I'm not trying to dunk on popular #UI #frameworks – I'm sure they're totally fine for #cybersecurity stuff, probably get loads of reviews and #audits.

But from my angle: Web Components are *native* to the #browser. Doesn't that just inherently reduce the risk of **#SupplyChainAttacks** (you know, like a rogue `npm install` on a bad network) for your #AppSecurity?

Or am I overthinking it, and the #framework choice is less important than the #browser, #OS, or #device running it? What are your thoughts, #DevCommunity?

---

Quick context: I've got a #ReactJS #messagingApp (repo here: https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat) and a separate #UIFramework (repo here: https://github.com/positive-intentions/dim) built with #Lit (which uses Web Components). I'm genuinely wondering if there's a compelling #cybersecurity reason to refactor the chat app to use my #WebComponent UI framework. Might be a whole new level of #SecurityByDesign for #FrontEndDev.

FYI, same question's on Reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ExperiencedDevs/comments/1lmk1rg/are_web_components_better_for_cybersecurity/, got some good #insights, but want to make sure nothing's getting overlooked! Let's discuss #InfoSec #WebDev #JavaScript #OpenSource #TechQuestion.

There is a thing which does confuse me. Sometimes if I run 'yay' on my arch installation to update all packages entering my password does not work.
I double checked if some modifier key is active by writing it to the console and it is correct. Still I cannot enter the password correctly.

to people with more knowledge regarding GPU/ GPU drivers on Linux:
I recently bought a wide-screen monitor which has 165hz, since then when playing eu4 in full screen mode the GPU just "says no" (all 3 monitors go black, and the ventilation goes to 100%) the computer is still on but yeah I have to force shut down it in these situations.
and a few minutes ago this happened randomly (Minecraft, Browser and TeamSpeak were pretty much the only open windows)

So my question is: How can I troubleshoot this? I searched through journal entries but no logs that scream to my noob eyes that they are responsible.

so thanks in advance!

(I really like the new monitor so I would prefer it if I could keep using it :S)

(GPU is AMD RX 480 with 4 GB VRAM)
(Edit: OS is Fedora 42, up to date, and I'm using Gnome)

So I am thinking about launching a #FOSS #searchengine locally. It would cache so when I don't have internet access, I could browse the small web and enjoy great articles. I could also give access to interested friends and family.

Do you have suggestions other than #yacy and #wiby?

Yacy seems better but the search quality is not good. And regarding wiby, it uses #sql for the database :/

Boosts very much appreciated.

PS: The blogs which do #linkdump like @82mhz would be a very good seed. Already roasted meat ready to be served :)

Edit: I thought development of Yacy has stopped. But checking their repo, they are still active:

https://github.com/yacy

Edit2: On Yacy forum, people complain about bugs and no update. I also have found this: https://marginalia-search.com/

Is there a way to specify the dns server up address that is then used for all wifi connections. Currently it seems these things are setup on a per wifi network basis. I wanna help grandma set and forget for example.

If I do incremental backups, so each backup only saves the files that changed since last backup, does that mean it also deletes files that I deleted since last backup? Or does it keep everything and when I restore my backup some day it'll also bring back tons of files I deleted long ago?

#TechQuestion #Linux

It does need to trigger the "delete project" feature for all assigned projects. Those projects need to trigger a "delete todo" for each todo.

This would create an dependency between the features, which is unwanted if I understood it correctly.

How to solve something like this?

Is there a way to perform logical operations on Mastodon searches?

For example searching for @randomuser AND #randomhashtag ?

In the ideal world, at least AND, OR, and NOT.

Anyone know if there is a way to rename #AirPodsPro2 cases? I have two sets, the lightening version and newer USB-C version and I’m unable to see which is which unless I open the case and plop the AirPods inside. This is actually quite annoying. #techquestion

okay so new development, i can return the sd card to amazon and i will get a full refund, so yay ^^ However, new question, what is (on a software side) the most destructive force to overwrite all the data that could work with an unwritabale sd card? Because i dont know if sensitive data still hides in there somewhere ._.

Almost every time I open up final cut pro on #macOS the view of my library goes back to clips, instead of the list view. I know its a single click to change the view, but I'm wondering how I can make this preference 'sticky’? Thank you for your help!

Hi all, I'm working on a jeopardy powerpoint and I'm hoping someone can help me a ton of time telling me it's possible to link title boxes so when I change the title of one category, all the other linked titles would be changed? Otherwise I'll have to retype the category titles over and over again on each slide 😓

Thank you!

Whenever I open my mastodon client I get about 800 unread which there is no way I can scroll through all of them. How do people manage this so they don’t miss out on some good stuff? (What is the current terminology for a mastodon message? It was a toot)

I wonder.. Undocking the Switch lowers the frequency from 768Mhz to 307Mhz but does this really justify that a game like Harvestella that runs great at 1080p AND 720p regresses to what I can only describe as "upscaled 320x200" when played handheld (the regular Switch has an internal 720p screen)?

Does anyone here have advice on running a small personal website? It has been years but I used to run a small CMS on NearlyFreeSpeech. I wonder what the current best practices are that avoid using anything like Squarespace.

Hey there, Apple Fediverse users! I've got a friend who's giving Mastodon a try (for a second time). She's having trouble finding a decent client app - she's tried Mammoth and Metatext, and neither were to her liking, and she isn't comfortable using Xcode to install Feditext on her device.

What other decent clients are there for Mastodon on Apple? :blobcatthinking: #techquestion #apple #iphone #techsupport

Firefox and Yahoo Mail won't play together anymore. 🙁​ I used to be able to click a mailto link on a webpage in Firefox, and it would open my #YahooMail with that email address. But I can't get that to work on my new laptop. Now, the only webmail option it gives me is Gmail (otherwise it will only accept a mail program on my computer). Looks like right-clicking to copy the email address, and then opening Y!M and pasting the address in, is the best solution I can find. I can't find any setting in Firefox or Yahoo to make it automatic. Googling the usual "how do you...?" tells me menu options that don't appear exist (I'm assuming they exist did at one time). Did Firefox make a deal with Google to exclude other webmail options?! Or is it a bug? Does anyone know how to fix this? #TechQuestion #Yahoo #Mail #Firefox
