Comment on Next.js and the corrupt middleware: the authorizing artifact in ~comp
priw8 LinkThat's quite an impressive response time all things considered.The vulnerability took a few days to be addressed by the Vercel team, but it should be noted that once they became aware of it, a fix was committed, merged, and implemented in a new release within a few hours (including backports).
That's quite an impressive response time all things considered.

Comment on Next.js and the corrupt middleware: the authorizing artifact in ~comp
priw8 Link ParentAs far as I understand it really depends how someone used middleware in their code. It's usually probably not going to be as bad, but in some cases it might (for example, I once came across a site...As far as I understand it really depends how someone used middleware in their code. It's usually probably not going to be as bad, but in some cases it might (for example, I once came across a site that returned all API auth data in a json stored in a
<script>tag in page's body; that said I don't know if it used nextjs). It's probably hard to determine a rating because of that, so they went for the higher one to make it harder to miss for someone who might be affected more badly. -

That was when I noticed that there was a Balatro + Slay the Spire bundle with a pretty nice discount... So I ended up getting it, and now I'm having a blast with Slay the Spire. I managed to get a clear with all characters so far, and I'll be attempting ascension 1 today!

And of course, pretty awesome that it's done locally! I wonder if it can be manually used outside of the browser?

And the craziest thing to me is I'm not even through a 1/3 of games yet.
Some spoilers for last UFO 50 game I played, Avianos:
I really like what they did with the extra trials there. Just when I thought I had a really good strategy figured out, they went and randomized all of the ancestors' abilities. So suddenly I have to rethink everything again, and using the randomly reordered abilities also turned out to be harder than the regular ones. I don't usually play strategy games, so I didn't expect to enjoy Avianos as much as I did!

I saw a similar thread recently and since I also happen to be looking for a gpu, I thought I'd ask here as well.
Soo, I suppose I should start by saying that I really do not know much about hardware. All the computers I had were purchased pre-built and I didn't really open them up apart from occasional cleaning or plugging in a new drive. Either way, my current hardware is as follows:
- CPU: Intel i7-8700
- RAM: 16GB DDR4
- GPU: integrated Intel CoffeeLake-S GT2
- Displays: 2560x1080@60hz and 1920x1080 up to 165hz but usually sitting at 60
- Motherboard: 0NC2VH (from Dell OptiPlex 7060 SFF)
- PSU: 200W
So the 2 things worrying me here are:
- The PSU power output is probably too low
- The entire case is kind of on the smaller side, I'm not sure what gpu would be able to fit there (though that's a thing I asked about when buying this pc, and apparently small form factor gpus should be fine?)
As I said earlier I'm really clueless about this kind of things and I'm not sure where to start, so I don't even have any candidates. Generally, I don't do too much gpu-intensive stuff (which is why for a long time I've been fine with an iGPU) and most of the games (2d stuff like various roguelikes or Factorio) I play run fine, but recently I've been playing some more games like Fall Guys or Supermarket Together with friends and it's been a bit frustrating to lower the graphics settings to the very lowest they can be and also decrease the resolution to have them run at a playable framerate (though even Factorio has been having some frame drops recently as my factory keeps growing, but I'm not sure if it's actually the igpu causing the bottleneck).
Any advice would be appreciated! I can provide more information if there's something relevant I haven't mentioned (which I imagine is quite possible)
Edit: I am now instead considering a full upgrade, since it might make more sense as people pointed out
Edit2: a pretty important thing I forgot to mention is that I primarily run linux, so driver compatibility is a big thing for me.

Comment on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is reaching end of standard support soon: April 2025. Plan to upgrade soon! in ~tech

I've also ran into issues with audio being worse on linux than the exact same setup on windows, but unfortunately I was never able to find the underlying cause. I found some limited success through the use of software like EasyEffects to minimise the problem, but obviously that's not a great "solution"
