In TLS context, “secure” and “insecure” don’t just mean (un)encrypted, but also whether the connection is authenticated, i.e. whether you can be fairly sure you’re looking at the “real” website. This is a far more important property of a si

In the mid nineties I worked in a research institute. There was a large shared Novell drive which was always on the verge of full. Almost every day we were asked to clean up our files as much as possible. There were no disc quota for some r

I love this function returnFalse () {return false} and the fact that their home cooked date_val() function does not use their home cooked isLeapYear() and daysInMonth() functions, but uses its own, pretty much unreadable, leap

The reason for the ban is “revealing private information”. It seems to be related to a Dutch soccer player Memphis Depay. https://twitter.com/OL_English/status/1371121328649076744

They did not have a fire suppression system, only smoke detection. So yeah, they missed something.

Let’s not forget that the site probably was actually hosting malicious content. The problem is not Google blocking the site, that was the right decision. The problem is that Google is hard to reach in cases like this.

Shutting down complete access instead of holding back a few cookies is a bit of a stretch as well. If you must fail, please fail-open then. And if you decide to fail-close, don’t lie: We’re unimportant to you so you decided to fail-close,

Best naming scheme I ever saw was at Harbinger in the late nineties. They used the periodic system. The last octet of the IP address corresponded to the atomic number, and you could use the full element name, or the abbreviation. So carbon.

The fact that it is FOSS makes it _easier_ for someone to compile it with a backdoor or trojan. I would say the need for a certificate is _higher_ there. You don’t need to trust the developers, you need to be able to trust the people who ha
