An additional safeguard against this exploit would be using the `secure_file_priv` option, which restricts the location that queries can write to. According to the docs[0], this has been configured to '/var/lib/mysql-fi

In the past 12 hours, I started a new Python project. I can't agree with the sentiment - the most I can say is that Python packaging isn't terrible now. My intention was to create a Python 3 package using best-practices, a nice di

I like the idea of a client-specified HSTS header - allowing users to control their risk directly (albeit through a browser extension) would definitely be a good thing.

I'm curious, have you tried viewing the streams or VODs through an alternate player? I've found that I can almost always improve the smoothness of their content by using Livestreamer[0] to play it in VLC (or Kodi, more often) [0]:

I'm not entirely familiar with sub-CA specifics, but CloudFlare (at the very least) has developed a system for deploying SSL with off-site private keys[0]; I imagine that could be used in a situation like this. [0]: https://

The Kickstarter claims that it has 4GB of internal storage that you can load podcasts/audiobooks on. Besides that they say the Core runs "unlocked" Android 5.0, so I'd imagine you can load it up with whatever you like.

Besides the usual public/private key system, OpenSSH supports a less-used system called user certificates. User certificates achieve the same purpose as your normal key but instead of pre-installing your public key on the server, you p

It's definitely been discussed[1]. I last read about it when investigating the use of splice(2) in nginx; seems there are a few use-cases, but nothing really compelling. [1]: https://lwn.net/Articles/666509/

You're right in that the system is vulnerable, but this doesn't mean that it's not "secure" in practical terms. One could argue that the phone is secure because even Apple has no way of recovering your passcode, nor

Definitely the preferred approach - it's worth noting, though, that you might provide access to the docker daemon over other transports as well. Regarding the question of bind-mounting docker, it's worth knowing that there are sti

While I agree with you generally, the linked script isn't really a fair criticism of Spinnaker. The linked script is just a standard bootstrap script, used by Gradle - I won't defend the logic behind it (they have a page for that

Unfortunately it's not as simple as that - when asking each other for data, the individual peers ask for a particular 'piece' of the torrent, where that piece isn't relative to a given file, but the torrent as a whole. T

There are many types of private tracker that would love to see this - for instance consider gaming trackers, where you may have a single .torrent for a large collection of ROMs, or DLC for a game. Consider TV trackers, tracking a whole TV s
