Any source for the statement on RSI? I googled but just found anecdotes.

That would depend on what CDN you use and how it works. If the CDN is just a caching CDN in front of your own site then the CDN typically won't be any more secure than your own site.

One can hope. Blob and table storage still have no form of backup ~8 years after introduction. When I've asked they have been referring to replication and to call them if we accidentally lose data. But we need to contact them within tw

Actually, I wish Microsoft would stop referring to replication when asked about backup. It's the modern way of saying "You probably don't need backup, because you have RAID". There's a reason Azure SQL Database has

How do you accomplish no application downtime if for 45 seconds you can't connect to the database? In background processes you might get away with retrying connections for a minute but most users will probably consider your site broken

At some point someone will accidentally overwrite or delete data and discover that some days later...

OP was referring to creating a hash, signing the hash and publish the signed hash on the web site. The alternative would be to sign the actual binary file using code signing (internally I assume that relies on a hash ).

When Verizon enabled this they forgot to test with Firefox ESR. So they disabled enough ciphers that Firefox ESR could no longer connect to their servers. We reported it to them and they rolled back and disabled HTTP2 the next day. Guess th

I reported an issue a week ago and they have had developers verifying it beginning of this week. And that was a low impact bug. The previous issue I reported took 4 months to be verified and then another 3 to be patched. So my view at least

Why not plan tasks like that continously and make it part of your normal iterations?

I assume there are several examples of this where there will be a better client for database X than to use this. I rarely use my swiss army knife - if I want to do something serious I use a real saw, screwdriver etc, because while the Swiss

Simplified: Instead of modifying a deployment by uninstalling the old software, updating the config files and installing a new version, you create a new virtual machine image with all you need and deploy instances of that. Even if you just

It's a security patch in the sense that the only way to get the security patches is to install the new version. But thanks for the info. That seems like a pretty bad practice when it comes to a lib such as OpenSSL. Having to do changes

I can compile the previous versions. I've used the same script for several years, and its not until this version today I have an issue. When seeing the issue, I actually tried compiling the old versions again and those still worked. It

I'm unable to compile this on Win32 (I don't have any problems compiling older versions). I don't understand how the code could compile for anyone, maybe it's a platform specific issue. Take a look here on line 80: http
