Here's a neat bit of zip code esoterica: domestic US mail can be sent to US embassies abroad via special addresses in Washington DC. [1] Each embassy has a unique nonexistent house number and street name within the 20521 zip code.[2] F

My take is that Google wanted Vanced dead. On top of trademark problems, if the app was a modified official client then copyright is also at issue. And there's always the CFAA hammer looming. It wouldn't cost much, compared to li

Do you know if they were also removed from the solutions list? My only guess is it was an internal communications problem, and words removed from the solutions wordlist got removed in the guesses wordlist too.

This seems really primed to get people to ask "if we are rebuilding it anyways why not consider other analytics servies" I imagine you'll hear a lot of that in the near future

If this seems too long to read, it's about a domain name registration dispute between RedHat and a volunteer who registered wemakefedora.org (RedHat was seeking to gain control over the domain). The arbiter not only found against RedHa

Sanction is such a strange word. It can mean both "giving permission or approval" as well as "giving a penalty for noncompliance with a rule or law" I also misread the headline as the latter instead of the former, likely

Why wouldn't you just run a vanilla nginx image and mount in the folder of site content? Then a deploy would be as simple as rsyncing the built folder from your laptop to the server, no need for sending a whole image every time

What do you mean by "walkable Arlington"? If you mean a more house-and-sidewalk residential neighborhood, then neither Pentagon City nor Crystal City meet that mark. And Crystal city is fairly walkable even before you account for

There is a highway near Washington DC (I-66) that has dual-rate HOV lanes like this. During peak rush hour times, the lanes are free to vehicles with 2+ people, but solo drivers can also opt to pay to use them. They wanted to ensure that t

In this case, the username and password are NOT your Google credentials. When you set up a dynamic DNS subdomain in Google Domains, it autogenerates a username/password pair that is unique to that subdomain, and that's what you us

Yeah and if your system allows an attacker to sustain one attempt per second into perpetuity, then you need to improve your system. Just be wary of DOS attacks against users when considering things like per-user limits (versus per-IP limits

I'm not OP, but yes it is possible to import arbitrary music into the Apple Music app with whatever cover art and other metadata you want. It's as easy as dragging in a folder of normal, tagged FLAC or MP3 files and it will use t

Yes, and what the parent post was suggesting was that GitHub would have you use a CNAME to point your DNS entry to a unique FQDN (that it can tie back to your specific repo) instead of an IP, which would centrally prevent this issue without
