facebook mistake disable account

Context

On my Android telephone, this afternoon, I tried to use my Facebook account to spend time... Acces denied. I used the FAcebook application from the market.

Again, I tried: failure... Damn!

I try via the Android web browser, and when I log in, they say something like: "Please use the desktop version of this website because your account has been disabled. After that you'll be able to use Facebook normally".

Preceding facts

Deveral months, my Facebook account has been "hacked" because of a weak password. But there is no relation with the current events.

Several hours before that, I remember I seriously hurted the nuts of a poor young "teeny-hacker" on a Malagasy computing related group, and I knew there would be several actions from him and his friends. That's the way they are.

Guess

What I think that happened was the guys tried to bruteforce my account on Facebook. As they know I use my email address to log in.

Facebook identified it as a "virus" on my computer. I also know my ISP NATs customers, Facebook was just blind about what really happened.

Let's be frank: It's just dumb to assume I have virus without informing what lead to that conclusion. To answer them on the same technical level, I could have answered: "You're wrong guys, I run Android and a custom Ubuntu flavour. I dont have virus.".

What makes me guess instead of arguing with technical fact? I dont have Facebook side fact, and they should have provided them, so that I can act or investigate. They did not.

Consequences

There are no immediate consequences about that.

But, I was on the process to use a Facebook page for professional use. But I think I will think twice before producing and publishing work on this. If I get locked out for several hours, or if any teeny kid tries to bruteforce my password, and drives me out: It wont be serious.

So, Facebook will remain a place for "fun", but not serious fun.

I knew that, now I confirm. They still have not the level of Google on that side.

Undefined global vim

Defining vim as global outside of Neovim When developing plugins for Neovim, particularly in Lua, developers often encounter the "Undefined global vim" warning. This warning can be a nuisance and disrupt the development workflow. However, there is a straightforward solution to this problem by configuring the Lua Language Server Protocol (LSP) to recognize 'vim' as a global variable. Getting "Undefined global vim" warning when developing Neovim plugin While developing Neovim plugins using Lua, the Lua language server might not recognize the 'vim' namespace by default. This leads to warnings about 'vim' being an undefined global variable. These warnings are not just annoying but can also clutter the development environment with unnecessary alerts, potentially hiding other important warnings or errors. Defining vim as global in Lua LSP configuration to get rid of the warning To resolve the "Undefined global vi...

npm run build base-href

Using NPM to specify base-href When building an Angular application, people usually use "ng" and pass arguments to that invocation. Typically, when wanting to hard code "base-href" in "index.html", one will issue: ng build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo' I used to build my angular apps through Bamboo or Jenkins and they have a "npm" plugin. I got the habit to build the application with "npm run build" before deploying it. But the development team once asked me to set the "--base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo'" parameter. npm run build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo did not set the base href in indext.html After looking for a while, I found https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/13560 where it says: You need to use −− to pass arguments to npm scripts. This did the job! The command to issue is then: npm run build -- --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo...

CopilotChat GlobFile Configuration

CopilotChat GlobFile Configuration Want to feed multiple files into GitHub Copilot Chat from Neovim without listing each one manually? Let's add a tiny feature that does exactly that: a file glob that includes full file contents . In this post, we'll walk through what CopilotChat.nvim offers out of the box, why the missing piece matters, and how to implement a custom #file_glob:<pattern> function to include the contents of all files matching a glob. Using Copilot Chat with Neovim CopilotChat.nvim brings GitHub Copilot's chat right into your editing flow. No context switching, no browser hopping — just type your prompt in a Neovim buffer and let the AI help you refactor code, write tests, or explain tricky functions. You can open the chat (for example) with a command like :CopilotChat , then provide extra context using built-in functions. That “extra context” is where the magic really happens. Built-in functio...
