The whole ContentID system is irreversibly broken as long as people are allowed to submit content for registration over the internet and not in person under penalty of perjury. A ton of fake artists take widely used commercial sample packs

Back in the day it was probably easy to move goalposts as techniques advanced. Do remember that Duke 3D's Build engine did not draw a true 3D environment by today's standards, and Novalogic's Voxel Space did not use voxels bu

To be fair, when I look at my private leaderboards the only seriously committed individuals seem to be either 10x devs or unemployed.

Reverse tunnel SSH was used for remote management. Once we replaced it with MQTT, we realized we could use it for IPC, too. I was not too clear about this in the post above. Before MQTT we used whatever we had at hand; the touchscreen front

Memes are fun. Crossover memes doubly so. There's no need to overanalyze.

In addition to cloud connectivity, we've been using MQTT for IPC in our Linux IIoT gateways and touchscreen terminals and honestly it's been one of the better architectural decisions we've made. Implementing new components fo

Not forcing but aggressively pushing it. At one point in time the offline installers were quite well hidden; nowadays they can be easily found under the "install with GOG Galaxy" button.

Some modders only release their content on Steam Workshop and you cannot access it without a license for the base game. Arma 3 server admins have to download mods on their gaming computer and then manually move those files over to the serve

Please, never ever again add such features to standards as a joke. Some backend folks have started to return it as an indetermiante error code, which in turn means that all client-side libraries will have to handle it at some level.

Back in the day we tried to sync KeePass vaults at work and ended up with a conflict about once a week, which is way too often. Not sure if other password managers have solved this.

As far as I know you can CA sign host keys the same way you can sign users' public keys. As always, the main issue is that certificate chaining is not possible in SSH PK"I", so you need to have absolute trust in the machine t

Every now and then a new SSH key management solution emerges and every time it is yet another connection-terminating proxy and not a real PKI solution.

Heck, I cannot even pass ReCAPTCHA nowadays. No amount of clicking buses, bicycles, motorcycles, traffic lights, stairs, crosswalks, bridges and fire hydrants will suffice. The audio transcript feature is the only way to get past a prompt.
