I debugged terrible git clone performance over the VPN at my last company. It turned out our firewall was stripping TCP window scaling by default, which included both our internal GitHub Enterprise instance hosted on AWS and github.com. I c

My first Linux install, best I can recall, was from a Slackware CD circa 1995? So I guess, me too. I've not used Linux as my desktop since Mac OS X in maybe 2002 but I've always had a Linux box running somewhere or being responsib

Yeah, what happens to me is I need a thing, go to Amazon to order it, see that I already bought it 4 years ago, spend 30 minutes trying to find it, then let out a big sigh and order it again. Most recently: a USB to TTL serial adapter.

The 13 is the last generation of the mini and I still have mine. Good to know I'm not missing anything. Battery capacity isn't even below 80% so I can't replace it under Applecare yet.

Your initial question was how do we know that the proxy blocks POST requests. Perhaps I went on a tangent with my answer, but we know that because the agents were trying to find a way around the proxy. So then I assumed that editing `/

The only thing that makes sense to me at this point is that this was an SNI bypass. By using either `/etc/hosts` or `curl --resolve` like this: curl -k \ --resolve bypass.blob.core.windows.net:443:20.223.25.152 \ -H '

The whole point is that something is inspecting all HTTP/HTTPS requests and only allowing POSTs to Azure Block Storage (`.*blob.core.windows.net`). Meanwhile the agent needs to make a POST request to a PBI host (`wabi-north-europe-i-pr

Same fundamental question though: what is the agent trying to fool by editing `/etc/hosts`? I don't see how it helps bypass a proxy unless the proxy is reading the same `/etc/hosts`. In which case, why was using `--

by js2 22d ago
Let's assume the proxy is external and the agents cannot route around it. In that case, the difference between: curl -k -H 'Host: wabi-north-europe-i-primary-api.analysis.windows.net' \ https://20.223.25.152&#
