You may be able to set up filters to automatically trash everything sent to incorrect addresses. It might be fairly annoying, but it should certainly be possible. Just set a filter for firstlast@gmail.com to send them to spam. Also, softwar

There's nothing (except possibly your ISP) stoping you from opening your firewall and using it remotely. I personally run dnsmasq (manually configured, but otherwise similar to pihole) on a VPS.

I don't have a Pi0, but I've had no problems running it on a single-core CHIP.

No idea what DD/DM stands for, but if you'd bothered clicking the link immediately below that text, you'd see the source code right there, publicly available for anyone who cares to look, no gateway/login required. Possi

When I enabled Enterprise trial on Google apps to change the domain on my legacy free account, they called me to see if there was anything they could help me with. There was no canned responses at the time, they actually answered the couple

Do Gmail's app passwords not work with yubikey? I know that with totp 2fa enabled, I can generate passwords that bypass the 2fa codes. There also might be some way of using a 2fa code in the password field as well (PayPal used to do th

Does it make a difference if you run your git operations through cmd from the bash command line? If so, is there a simple way to automatically get the current windows path from pwd? If it's the same speed as native git running in a s

ARM has TrustZone, though I have no idea what that's capable of or how it differs from ME/AMT/PSP/etc or how prevalent it is.

This is true, however it doesn't make the point irrelevant. 1. Beyond difficulty of porting blobs, you might well also simply get your updates from a custom ROM faster than you'll get them from the manufacturer, even if it's

You would think so, but people are dumb. I've seen tab-delimited files that are .CSV instead of .tsv, and I've also seen the semicolon delimiter a few times though I can't recall where. I think Excel actually pops up a prompt

Does any system (modern or not) actually use `\r` for anything? Because I'm not aware of it being used alone. I'm not even sure why software today still differentiates between the two instead of treating any of `\r`, `\n`, `\r\n`

The recycling tax is for the product you're buying, so it doesn't matter if you're bringing one to be recycled or not.

Six months, not two years. I personally tend to ignore warranty periods of under a year anyways, since products with such short warranty periods (30-90 days is common here in the US) tend to be cheaper to replace than to get warranty servic

How? I was looking for this last week and couldn't find any settings that worked. Nothing relevant in about:config, and the toolbar customization shows the search bar there until I close customization.

Unlike chrome, you can't have multiple Firefox profiles running simultaneously unless you're using two separate installs. Even then, one has to be nightly/developer/etc, or it refused to start.

by efreak 9y ago
I always thought profiles we're designed for multiple users on one login; they've been around for ages, and I assumed it was because windows 98 wasn't good with multiple profiles/users.

Firefox actually has a command line [0], though it's not a terminal. I'm pretty sure there's an extension for a real terminal, though. [0] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/GCLI

There used to be a very good terminal environment app on Linux, far better than termux. It was called Terminal IDE, and it was basically a full Debian bootstrap. Unfortunately, it was never updated for lollipop or later, possibly because

Then you'll absolutely love the URLbar marquee[0]. Combine this with a page title marquee and you can grab attention even if the browser is minimized. (Can now only get results for maps to bars named Marquee...). Now just add fartscrol

At least on Android, I think it does require permissions. The difference is that users have no idea what it is and therefore don't care. It's unfortunate that the list of on-demand permissions doesn't include doesn't inc
