I have seen and can confirm there was a huge drone attack in Jammu. Edit: Actually I don't know if it was missile/drone/jet. But multiple projectiles were intercepted in air. Link - https://x.com/MeghUpdates&#

India lack technical capability to decrypt web traffic at scale or power to force companies to do it for them. Like what happened with Apple and Telegram. So this is what they come up with.

Due to WhatsApp for Business, my inbox is constantly flooded with spam and scams. Companies register hundreds of numbers, and no matter how many I block, they always find new ones to message me. The worst part is that reporting and blocking

From the start, both Byju’s and Paytm had some pretty sketchy aspects. It was baffling why investors kept pouring money into them despite all the red flags. That said, let's not panic. Apart from these two, there are plenty of other In

Hey saikou, When I first saw EduHunt, I laughed, thinking maybe it's an April Fool's joke? But looks like you're serious. It feels a bit weird to pay for finding stuff on YouTube that's already free. I mean, saving time

> The main reason WARC looks like it does is to be as recoverable as possible if the crawler hard-crashes. I disagree on the recovery part. SQLite being ACID compliant, arguably offers better recovery than the WARC format.

by kburman 3y ago
Thanks for that info! Didn't realize WARC predated SQLite. Makes me wonder, are there any modern updates that could enhance WARC, or is it only format for archiving?

Great article on the WARC file format. I really appreciate the efforts of the ArchiveIt team in developing and maintaining such a crucial tool for web archiving. I'm trying to understand why the WARC format was made the way it is. Can

I really like the idea behind μMon. It reminds me of when software was simpler. I remember using a program called "Everything" by voidtools. It was small but could search a lot of files quickly. Nowadays, some projects use big too
