You're right in 99+% of cases. But I suspect that the needs of cloudflare for this use case aren't typical of what's expected of an html parser. I'm not certain that there isn't an existing parser that would work fo

Great paper, but I must say that I disagree with the characterization of ASLR as "a first line of defense" in the paper, and then repeated in most of the coverage of it. When you reach the point that you're trying to mitigate

You may want to check out ACA plans for insurance, too. Depending on what your needs are and how much your employer was paying, COBRA coverage may be significantly more expensive than your options under ACA. Also, COBRA will only last as lo

Though be aware that this won't backup everything. (at least on a non-rooted device) Notably, if you use google authenticator for 2FA, it won't backup and you'll restore a device that will no longer work as your second factor

I agree, perhaps that's more about the brand than the product per se. But in a market where you have to convince your users to replace the pre-installed browser that more or less works pretty well already with your alternative implemen

It's sad, but I am seriously worried that this could be the end for firefox. Add to that the recent refocus/re-prioritization on firefox within mozilla, it could be a first death knell for the organization entirely. I know in my o

Yup, that's true. I wouldn't go that route for media or HTPC type use. It hasn't been a problem for me, for development use, as kernel dependencies aren't common in your typical stable of editor/compiler/interp

Because that's what the comment I replied to was talking about -- using android tools on chromeos to create a dev env. Like you say, the android tools aren't great, so it would probably be a step backwards from what you already ge

Chromebooks are actually great dev environments already --better than most of what I've seen on android. If you're in developer mode (a one time key combo at boot, or a hardware switch under a cover on older machines), you can jus

Unfortunately the csrf implementation doesn't use that. (At least not in the absence of a session store.) It "encrypts" the random token by adding a random salt to it, but has no way of validating that after generation. When

If you just need to be able to wake it up manually, use something like etherwake to send the wakeup packet. It's not integrated w/ synergy, but is the WoL equivalent of "wiggle the mouse and wake it up."

Unless synergy has explicit support for WoL (it didn't last time I used it, but it's been years), it won't just work. You'd need to patch the synergy server to send a WoL magic packet[1] to wake up the client whenever it
