So there is not a lot to be done about the ~50% of sites where the IP is sufficient to identify the domain. For the others, where they suggest a heuristic based on a PLF, it seems something like uMatrix (or a proxy based equivalent) could r

Which is because not only Windows, but DOS itself supported it at least as far back as DOS 2.0 when they added sub-directory support. There was even an option (in CONFIG.SYS) to alter the 'switch character', which then also caused

Actually, it is that sidebar navigation which is one of the things bugging me, making the whole RFC harder to read. That said, when I'm implementing, I often refer to the text versions - especially as they're easier to diff. As t

One problem with the data is that they have distinct entries for United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, yet the latter is part of the former. So does United Kingdom as used in the table actually mean Great Britain, or are the NI figures actua

Unlikely, if you look one there at the pie chart for average use of the past year, you'll see that 41% fossil fuel, 26% renewable, 17% Nuclear, 7% Biomass. We are running down the last few nukes, and it'll probably take a decade o

Place it in to L2 mode, and use as an AP rather than as a router. Use it as long as the wireless 'security' offered is suitable. After that place it on an untrusted VLAN, and provide the security via at attached router of whatever

BTW - The second page of that PDF mentions porting Concurrent DOS to the 68k on the Motorola VME/10. I believe that is actually a reference to porting FlexOS (CDOS-286) to the 68k, as mentioned here: https://en.wikipedia.or

I'd have to disagree. The only relationship between the Concurrent DOS which had CPM roots, and the Concurrent DOS-286 (CDOS-286) which became FlexOS was the name 'Concurrent DOS'. i.e. marketing / branding. That (CDOS-

As a minimum, some states have longer. The UK has 6 (or 5 depending on part) years statutory consumer protection, and so didn't have to change anything when the EU brought in the 2 year period. I believe Ireland was in a similar posit

I believe that is a cross EU thing, since the UK got it while still a member. i.e. the reversed burden of proof during the first 6 months, where it is assumed the device is at fault, and they supplier has to prove it is not. So in this case

A second try loading each site in new tabs seemed to work, but this time each gave a different ID. One starting 3fa2, the other f918 Reloading each tab then gave two different numbers, 7eb6 and 6f83 Subsequent reloads did not change again.

Often one can ignore the errno case, as the input is (by then) semi-constrained, and its ambiguity resolution is not needed. e.g. so an idomatic pattern from some real code would be something like: static bool parse_thing (char *value
