"Everyone ... does it." So that excuses it, right? When a bunch of people that don't matter do it, you're right, I don't give a shit. When it's our Secretary of State, one with access to all kinds of Top Secret

First I've heard of this rule/exception, got a link to any doc's validating this claim? If true, it flys in the face of everything on the books with regards to mandates/rules/regs for ensuring secure communications

Just goes to show reputation isn't the end all, be all, solution to everything. It's so often championed by the Linux kernel team as a reason why the distributed model works, and it's evident that in that case it certainly do

Nice timing, as just this week I had my first exposure to the Cloudscrape platform. Credit where credit is due, I found the platform refreshingly feature rich even at lower tier (i.e. free) account levels compared to other offerings from co

Love stories like these. On one hand, I'm inclined to say lazy humans are always the worst security vulnerability. On the other, of the 2% specified, I wonder if even 1% of those identified actually mirrored this "vulnerability&qu

"I receive anytime feedback, both positive and constructive, for the folks that work for me." It saddens me that you can't say "negative" here as the obvious counter-point to positive, instead opting for kool-aid ma

My sheer lack of interest in both Go and Rust has become somewhat of a curiosity for me as of late. Trying to figure out what it is that has made both of these languages dead-on-arrival for me has become an idle game. It's not helped b

I tried to resist, but I simply have to ask... exactly how do YOU define the term "CMS"? Please be detailed.

Yep, this is part of the reason why. But mostly I see no benefits from having it enabled, but quite a few negatives (security, privacy, etc). As long as the browser keeps the history of your current browser session alive while the browser s
