If you're using a hardware device, you can't extract them, because that's the point. If you're using a password manager to store your passkeys, there are protocols to move them between password managers.

A single ~50MW facility dropping off the grid suddenly is something the grid can absorb fine. The problem is with facility-level grid-responsive safety mechanisms. If the grid sags a bit and several DCs ~simultaneously disconnect, you have

You can find copies of the Mastercard and Visa chargeback manuals online if you do a search, some of them (mildly redacted) from the networks themselves.

I've seen lots of pretty terrible experiences with the i40e and newer Intel drivers. For newer NICs than the X520s I'd probably grab a Connect-X card.

No, Stripe did. It is a common misconception that chargebacks are decided by the customer's bank. Actually, there is a multiple cycle back-and-forth process after which they are finally decided by _the network_. I have worked in card i

Scaleway's equivalent only allows connections from ports <1024. This is cute and means only processes with CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE can retrieve the tokens. You can do similar with vsock(7) sockets. This also has the advantage that it&#

You can fix it by switching to one of the grounded charger heads. Unfortunately in most locales those are only available with an integrated extension cable (or as everyone seems to call them, the "gooseneck" cables) It happens wit

On the contrary, an object moving across your field of vision will produce a level of motion blur in your eyes. The same object recorded at 24fps and then projected or displayed in front of your eyes will produce a different level of motion

Was it actually repeating packets or was it sending out pause frames? In my experience USB ethernet adapters send out pause frames which shit-tier switches replicate to all ports in direct contravention of the ethernet specifications.

USB A->C cables are supposed to have a Rp pullup on CC1, and leave CC2 disconnected. Huawei made some A->C cables which (incorrectly, and spec-violatingly) have Rp pullups on both CC lines, which is how you signal you're a power

Being that prescriptive is fundamentally unworkable in practice. Propagating unknown attributes is fundamentally what made the deployment of 32-bit AS numbers possible (originally RFC 4893; unaware routers pass the `AS4_PATH` attribute with
