Dotfiles feel too personal to share

news.ycombinator.com Juha-Matti Santala 2025-11-30 08:36:01

I love dotfiles. “Dotfiles” is a term that refers to configuration files used to configure software and operating systems. They are called such because often these files start with a dot. You may have seen .bashrc , .tmux.conf or .zshrc in the wild. Whenever a software doesn’t offer direct file-based configuration, I feel sad because it means I need to take extra steps to keep my configuration across different devices in sync or when setting up a new machine.

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-11 23:30:35

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has patched a Secure Folder flaw that previously allowed anyone with physical access to see your hidden apps and photos. The vulnerability existed because Secure Folder was implemented as a “work profile,” which key system components didn’t recognize as a highly secure space. One UI 8 reclassifies Secure Folder as a “private” profile, ensuring system apps now correctly hide its sensitive files and app information from view. Samsung’s Secure Fo
