I have IPv4-only AS6167 on my Verizon iPhone as well, but I was under the impression the reason I only have IPv4 is a limitation from also having a static IPv4 address on my phone.

Why even go through that trouble? In what circumstance would you need an `otf` when a `ttf` won't suffice? (Genuinely curious, I've wondered this for a while because I've never seen something that supports `otf` but not `ttf`

All autossh does is try to keep open/restart an ssh connection as a daemon — I’m not sure there’s any benefit to it these days than just using a systemd service. That being said, as an example `ssh user@host.com -R 8181:localhost:8080`

I never heard of KKR, but I definitely wouldn’t trust Broadcom to do that software any justice. Maybe this might be better?

I’m trying (and failing) to understand the scope of this “End-User Computing Division.” Is this tools like VMware Horizon (i.e., their thin-client solution), or VMware Workstation/Fusion, or something else?

I’m not aware of any HTTPS MITM that can function properly without adding its own certificate to the trusted roots on your system (or dismissing a big red warning for every site), so I don’t think certificate pinning is necessary in such an

TFA advocates strongly against long-lived branches, which I understand and agree with, but with one exception: major/LTS versions should have their own branch, so that hotfixes can be cherry-picked from main (or, rarely, applied di

I bet it’s not just Xbox, either. Maybe you’re not directly paying them money , but as someone commenting on Hacker News I’d sure bet you’re using at least one of GitHub, VS Code, NPM, or LinkedIn. And I’m sure they’re ultimately benefitin

“Turing test” is a generic phrase. You’ll likely need to see the details of the initial bet to be able to answer that.

I’m not so sure — what if an attacker can just run a test to see if the PIN is valid, and if not they can just shake the PIN entry and ask again like iOS does. And since every app is essentially a full screen modal, this sort of PIN phishin

I’ve never seen a distro that didn’t grant read permission to everyone for /sbin and /usr/sbin. In any event, it doesn’t really make sense to me to deny read access for any executables, so long as you don’t also deny read acc

I’ve been struggling with finding work this past year (really since Covid hit, but I was working somewhere alright in 2021 for 8 months until I got laid off due to lack of work). Queens, NYC. We haven’t been able to afford rent or electric,
