That’s why I mentioned DNS queries, as those are/were not protected by TLS. This behavior is one of the major reasons browsers pushed so hard for DNS over HTTPS.

A few years ago when Net Neutrality was a big topic, there was a lot of focus on them. At some point I felt the news cycle was being manipulated as ISPs kept pointing fingers (and I suspect increased their lobbying budget) at FAANG that the

There are far more small projects in the world than ones that need to scale to be huge, while at the same time every developer working on a small project is trying to build their resume so they can one day work on one of those big ones. So

Be careful using this for things like prizes, as people will use tools that allow them to spoof locations to see the messages in that area.

The log4j library is in a jar file. Jars files are like zip files and can contain other jar files. They can be nested arbitrarily deep. Doing a ‘find’ for a specific file name is not enough.

All I can say is that when you’re on the other end of a call with someone using the laptop array, vs a headset, the quality of sound from the laptop array is objectively much worse than the headset. You hear room noise, echo, etc. It’s defi

I agree my response isn’t directly relevant, I’m just tired of seeing the same tropes over and over again about how Ops people’s only motivation is to drag their feet on everything just because they’re old and out of date. They actually hav

There is a lot of cultural inertia that instantly biases against anything old and stable in developer circles. It's super annoying, tbh. A subset of developers only seem comfortable with technology invented in the past 18-24 months, re

I’m not confused. I understand the concept of the wireless bandwidth that’s needed for the bidirectional communication when in headset mode vs headphone mode. My point is that the laptop microphone arrays are just not as good as a microphon

So you can make everyone else on the call suffer your horrible audio quality instead (room echo, etc.)? Probably not the smartest option when trying to get Management to get comfortable with work from home.

The email that makes it into your Junk folder are just the “probably spam” ones. Email providers are outright blocking “definitely spam” messages, where the decision is being made by a black box. There’s no history you can check for those,

One can make an argument like this about anything, and it’s just a defeatist attitude. Why bother to do anything then? The reality is that security should be done in layers, and this is an important layer. The handwavy “and then it causes e

SIM Swapping attacks are not performed by physically stealing a SIM from someone’s phone. They usually involve having someone who works at the carrier making changes in the system to route calls/data to a different IMEI. Physical or eS

I always kept the speaker on at low volume. After the initial connection was established, it just sounded like background/white noise. I could tell how good the connection was, the general speed, and of course could hear other things l

It’s definitely the message cloud marketing has been cramming into people’s brains, and most of them are falling for it. Why am I seeing cloud ads in an airport, and never ads for any other low level technology like Ethernet or LDAP? Becaus

Voice systems only require Internet because companies have designed them that way to keep you on the hook and collecting your data. There’s no reason that voice control can’t run on a local box except for this business decision. Voice contr

For anyone mentioning rsync, I would assert that rsync is very poorly named, and has polluted the ‘sync’ namespace with a meaning outside of what most people understand synchronization to be. Outside of rsync, the ‘sync’ term almost invaria

I can also recommend Cygwin, and I really don’t understand why so many people seem to have either completely overlooked it, or outright dislike it. It’s so much better than having to keep a full blown WSL “VM”/container just to get acc

I’ve found this to be the case for most of the time Raspberry Pis have been around. The cost proposition has always relied on using other components people have “lying around”, like the power adapter, SD card, etc. However as the power qual

Content posted on a web site is NOT “public” (domain), it is (in the US) automatically copyrighted to the author, unless they specifically waive those rights. Just because you can see it through a browser doesn’t in any way mean you can mak

Never heard of the .example TLD, so thanks for that. However, an issue I see with it is that it doesn’t look like a domain name. Things that end in ‘.com’ are synonymous with domain names, regardless of how accurate that assumption really i

I think a lot of people take this approach of recording everything (or at least try to once the idea of recording meetings is available), but you really need to think about whether it’s going to solve the problem you think you have. Having

Whoa there. Setting aside the stagnation of Perl due to the v6 debacle (which, by the way, Python 3 came very close to succumbing to the same fate), CPAN is widely recognized as a very successful package system, and is frequently the envy o

On Unix systems people rarely used file extensions like this. Any program that you would run simply had no extension. It’s the shebang line that would launch the correct interpreter. Extensions denoting the file type was more of a Windows t

If you’re scraping someone else’s data, do you know what they copyright status is? Have you made deals with the original sources that permits you to use their data? How will you deal with lawsuits and the constant blocking of your scrapers?

Developers have been fine with moving everyone else’s stuff to the cloud: Ops, data, security, networking, etc., but now when the cloud comes for your source code that’s a step too far? That horse left the barn a long time ago.

I’m using the phrase “in theory” colloquially, which means something like “sure, you could technically use it that way, but nobody really does/it’s very rare”.
