I've been wondering for a while, how much of macos can you strip out and still run a VM with something like linux in it? Ideally passing through as much of the hardware as possible, and booting right into that config. Running it native

The "server" header says it's apache, so there could be a .htaccess file in that directory with the rules for that. Trying to load any url under ~/cks/ starting with .ht gives a generic "Forbidden" respons

Cancel how? There's documents encoded like that which would break it it were changed now. Unicode takes backward compatibility like this very seriously.

Cool idea. I was expecting more than just turn_off_the_borrow_checker in you_can though. Maybe with time, as more counterexamples are needed for things "you can't just..." in rust.

CS6 verifies keys locally if it can't reach adobe's servers. Are they specifically blocking that? Blocking CS6 from accessing the internet in your firewall and using a key somoene posted online was a common practice back in the da

Can't you spoof or hide the "from" number in SMSs in a lot of countries? Like email, I'd expect recieving to be more secure since it uses hardware the user isn't in control of. There are free sites offering recieve-

Is there an RFC for email to redirect email for a user no longer at that address? Not exactly like setting up mail redirection with the postal service, but similar in outcome. e.g. a server connects to the gmail MX server, and gets a respon

At the very least, people seem to have settled on one or two args to use for this. e.g. "utm_source". I tried entering ?utm_source=foo on Chris's site when it was posted the other day, and was surprised it didn't trigger

I've been using pairdrop.net (fork of snapdrop, which got bought out) a lot recently. Only needs a web browser on either end, and doesn't take any prepwork. Can be self-hosted, if that's a concern.

Even better, Command-? opens a search menu (usually under the "Help" button) that points you at the first matching menu option (even if there's no shortcut for it). The Unity DE tried to replicate that with their HUD feature,

Some of that lower cost in Europe is down to jet fuel being tax free, as well as the US having multiple mandatory taxes on plane tickets. The cost of EU passenger rights payouts is vanishingly small on the average ticket if almost all of th
