   There's no news here, though, right? The initial RFC draft had been submitted in April 2015 [1]. It was updated multiple times [2] but eventually expired in December 2016 [3], unfortunately. Luckily, that draft has been revived this mo

   Thank you! If only a single person finds something helpful there, it has been worth the effort already. So that's what I hope will happen. Apart from that, writing down things you've learned for yourself is pretty useful in genera

   Thanks! Please note that the presented solution is both more efficient and more "secure" (i.e. "obscure", which is all we want here). It turns sequential IDs into non-sequential IDs, in addition to converting the base fo

    But even after the device has detected the (B)SSID, you have to enable either Wi-Fi or your mobile data connection for the device to communicate with Google's servers. Still, just as worrisome.

    Moving to a new email address (and taking all your existing mails with you to the new inbox) is actually far easier than changing phone numbers. Almost all (old) providers let you set up a mail forwarding (to the new provider). But even bet

    Facebook login, Google login, etc. still work (at least with most implementations), since they redirect to the SSO site, which is what every reasonable site should do, instead of using an iframe/embed. Good luck finding something tha

    In Firefox, you can control a lot via the `about:config` directives. You can put all that into a `user.js` for portability and reference, like this: https://github.com/delight-im/Secure-Firefox But unfortunately, there

    Thanks a lot! This project is mainly targeted at presenting (read-only) documents, which includes displaying and printing invoices etc. I admit, the project description could have made this clearer. Basic editing is possible, which is w

    Thanks, I didn't mean it's trivial , but it's not a hard technical problem (anymore) to do that on the web. Not sure if I'll be working on this, though, because there are so many (commercial) services providing this alr

    Exactly this. Or just store a copy on another device of yours, on a USB flash drive, etc.

    No, he didn't crack it but just hashed it and checked for equality. So just what you would have expected. He did it in a way that appears more complicated to people using Hashcat not as often as he probably does. Hashcat used the real

    Thanks! This does only affect the "in-browser" view. In the print view, everything is correct. Yet, you're right in that this just isn't acceptable. The "preview" mode in the browser should work exactly like th

    Good point! It doesn't do this yet , because the focus here has been on perfect representation of pages via CSS. But using socket.io or something like this, it shouldn't be thard hard.

    Actually, it's a "gtkprint" feature. You don't have to install anything separately. But still something built-in into the operating system.

    Sorry for the confusion! This was actually only added to underline that there's nothing like [1] in this project. Will improve the README. [1] https://www.google.de/search?q=paper+texture&tbm=isch

    Thanks! Might this be provided by the operating system as well (instead of Firefox)?

    Thanks! That "Print to File" is provided by the operating system, not Firefox. I'm on Windows 7, where the operating system doesn't provide this. Yet Chrome provides it itself.

    Yes, Windows 10 has this now, just as Ubuntu with its "Print to File". But Windows 7 and 8 don't have this feature.
