Thank you so much for the reply; it at least helps me understand why things are the way they are. VirtualBox's own docs have said since some 5.x version that it's compatible alongside Hyper-V. However, we've had developers

Based on the specific example (hashing buckets for a hash map/table)… just use a hashing function that uses a random seed per map/table instance during hashing to prevent insertion attacks, eg. SipHash. This prevents an attacker f

Holy crap. I've avoided buying a U2F/FIDO2 device (eg. YubiKey) for a few years thus far, as I'm "happy enough" with TOTP. I know the differences in terms of implementation/security, but not enough services eve

I've heard WSL2 is different and better than WSL1. However, you say WSL2 is backed by Hyper-V. Which leads me to a very important question: does enabling WSL2 (which now supposedly uses Hyper-V) have the same problem that previously en

I don't know why this comment is downvoted so much. Every company I've worked for uses MySQL (or a MySQL fork, eg. MariaDB or Percona). I've never seen an installation of Postgres used in production at any company I've w

I've had the same static ipv4 address for just over 19 months, and have been running an exposed OpenVPN server on an alternative port on that IP for the entire duration. I get no results. Color me unimpressed that "an army of bots

I had heard of that idea before, and then forgot about it. Thank you for reminding me; I will be implementing that at work when I can find the time to add it to the pipeline (ie. "todo: enforce ticketed todos"). To me there are th

Facebook is in the slow process of finally dying. Their ownership of Instagram is sustaining them for the time being, but they are now desperate to steal some market share away from Reddit, TikTok, and WeChat. Facebook is far more desperate

I don't know whether to laugh, or to instead be triggered by the traumatic memories which were buried deep within the recesses of my mind until now and assume the fetal position.

From Wikipedia regarding VP9[1]: "Parts of the format are covered by patents held by Google. The company grants free usage of its own related patents based on reciprocity, i.e. as long as the user does not engage in patent litigations.

tldr; uBlock Origin removing the html element containing the "we use cookies" banner is effectively the same as clicking "OK" or "Accept", even without notifying the site/server. If there are any exception

You could also look at Bitwarden. I'm not affiliated, but it's an amazing password manager (desktop app, mobile apps, browser extensions). Even better, it's fully open source; you can even run your own server to keep out a th

So you are capable of writing a script in Python that always catches SIGINT and SIGTERM, exiting gracefully without an exception stack being thrown by core code? No? Right… no. Python is literally the only language I've used that canno

Ugh, try address fields. I mildly regret having moved to my current home last year, as inputting this address into forms is an impossible task. The "correct" address according to the formatting standards of my federal postal servi

Yay!!! There were a couple of steps that took me time to debug how to make it work, so I'm ecstatic that at least one person found my steps useful!!! I don't have recent experience with Google Hangouts, so I'm curious to know

IMO: Python is a garbage language, and should never be used for professional applications. Try to write an app whose very first block is a try / except for KeyboardInterrupt , with or without an if __name__ == '__main__&#x27

I did this a while ago for myself; it looks like the setting can be found here[1], labelled as a checkbox "Keep my email addresses private". Note that (I think, not sure if it gets overridden if you check the box), you also need t

I migrated from Gmail to Fastmail 2 years ago, and I agree with this. With Fastmail, I now have the wildcard address for a domain ([a-z0-9]{7}@example.com), whereby I create a new randomly generated email address for each company/site&

Aside from the specific optimizations listed in the article, and caring about improving round-trip times for remote API calls in general, the fact is that any app built properly with native MacOS/iOS APIs will be extremely fast. Appl

Forgive the ignorant question: if the chance spikes to ~50% by one's 80s, is Alzheimer's really a disease per se, or is it just a natural progression of the brain degrading due to old age? I mean, some people try to label the ph
