Some comments here mentioned that these pages were essentially just text. I wanted to create something that would be useful, showcasing some basic HTML, CSS and JS. Here's an entry I hacked up together: https://coffeespace.o

There seems to be some speculation that this is credit card details being hacked. Firing your _entire_ security team sounds like the sort of action taken if basic security practices are not being done. Until we know more, hold out on hiring

As I replied to the comment, it's about having a filesystem that scales from floppy disks to hard drives. This is quite important for hobby OSes.

You don't of course, it's about having a filesystem that works from floppy disk all the way to hard drive.

Yes, things are about to get really bad. The problem is that it's not limited to just one crisis: 1. Inflation - It turns out that you can't just keep printing money for about a year to pay for people not to work, and expect the

Is this only compatible with FAT32, or is it also compatible with FAT12/16? It would be very cool if this would support floppy disks. Regarding the format, once you convert it, does the target device need to have a driver to support th

I know of some small servers that get a lot of spam and hacking attempts, and their most effective tool against abuse is an IPv4 block ban. Increasingly this became more and more difficult, and I assume email servers are at the same point.

Ignorance: What's the use-case for this? If you can't rely on the drives not to be tampered with, surely you also cannot rely on the CPU or kernel? Am I missing something?
