Alias does not change the root dir, according to Nginx documentation. This was what made us believe that through eventual exploit, it could be possible to reach the active root dir through a completely different path as set per alias. In ad

We used something just like that to map users' home directories, but it doesn't solve the problem of not being able to set a unique root directory for each user case. Nginx accepts just one root dir setting, and it can't be conditionally se

I wasn't aware that this was a Q&A or issues tracker for Nginx, which is why I never had the intent of bringing details up. My apologies for posting these things in the official Nginx resources. The sarcasm is on the house.

One problem that comes to mind is Nginx' inability to have multiple root dirs set for one and the same host depending on what location directive will be in use, for example when wanting to set unique root dirs during userdir mapping - which

Did I hit a nerve of some zealous Nginx user when mentioning the fact that Nginx isn't a silver bullet? :) I'm sure you can downvote this comment, too! Knock yourself out!

Looking forward to a day when I can give Nginx another try when its feature set has matured in more directions. Its unfortunate lack of fine-grained versatility in some areas of configuration forced us to stick with Apache's httpd after try

The proper term for this effect is "raster bars", from how you traditionally did the effect by waiting for the raster line register to hit a certain vertical position on the screen, and then changing f.e. the background color of that scanli

I wonder what Vimeo and Pastebin did to end up on this list. These two are definitely odd (and harmless) apples in that bunch.

"We currently do not ship internationally", anyone? That message right there, when I'm shopping online, annoys me to no end. Clever way of doing business.

I used to be a Perian user, but its complications and shortcomings made me ditch it in favor of MPlayer OS X Extended, which eventually led me to the better MPlayerX. I am in favor of Perian's solution of being a nifty QT plugin, though.

I wonder how many percentiles of the Windows number comes from Windows' re-re-re-re-install-ish nature. "Dang, my FPS is low, I gotta "format Windows" again."

If you want something smaller, faster and tons more efficient for OS X, I highly recommend MPlayerX instead. It's everything VLC is, and more, with none of VLC's bloat.

That's no guarantee for anything. It's already out in the open that Huawei has close ties to the Chinese government and military. The point OP is trying to make is that Chinese telecom cannot be trusted as the Chinese government is actively

Coming from a Chinese partly state-owned company, I'm not the least surprised.

This method is not the least uncommon or "advanced" with those who still program assembler - in particular with the coders in the so called demoscene of lower level machines like the C-64 and Amiga - most often for creating unrolled loops t

This was pretty cool, but I couldn't help being struck by how utterly poorly it performs, especially as soon as you add just a handful of objects and two light sources. Sure, it's written in JS, but JS has come a long way in terms of perfor

Seriously, they store passwords in an easily reversible format? Or are these booster accounts stolen from somewhere else than Twitter's premises?

Why? The snippet of code is simple and functional enough to escape the need of being fiddled with ad infinitum ad absurdum. I can't see a cloud of maintenance need hovering over it.

I guess this is an ok way to save some tiny, tiny amount of bandwidth and server resources now and then when a user makes a mistake - but one should still not, under any circumstances, refrain from server-side verification.

The upgrade procedure takes but minutes in itself. The time you take to save and then write your old configuration files back to /etc and whatnot is on your hands :) Sure, upgrading OpenBSD's core system files isn't as smooth as doing it

Couldn't have said it any better. Just look at how your post was downvoted for simply pointing this sensitive fact out. The action speaks so loud and clear. In every social construct and gathering you always find that group of "socially imm
