It works through the new UnsafeAccessorAttribute [1]. This provides the information needed for AOT to know what needs to be in the final binary and not trimmed. It also removes the lookup overhead associated with normal reflection which is

This only works if credential guard has implemented a way to build a subsequent token/value from that secret. For things like basic auth the secret would need to eventually hit the userland process that needs it in some shape or form t

The runas command doesn’t elevate just runs as another user. This is a console executable that drives UAC and also provides a way to capture the stdout/stderr elevated process which isn’t natively possible today without your own wrappe

Looks like Microsoft is trying to stop internal products from using MSI in favour of MSIX packages. MSIX is nice for interactive applications but has a few issues with dealing with system wide installations and automation scenarios that I d

I don't mind NRT but I hate dealing with C# projects that haven't set < Nullable>Enable</Nullable> in their csproj. It's not perfect because I know at runtime it can still be nullable but it's nice when

That's the thing, you don't have to :) While I think uv is a great tool and highly recommend it, you are more than welcome to use any of the other build backends or package management tools that fit your workstyle. By having these

There shouldn't be any difference between those two values. I'm not saying you are wrong and it didn't break but it's definitely surprising a parser would choke on that vs YAML itself being the problem. Don't get me

per-minute is really just a way to express the cost in a human friendly name. Doing per-hour, per-second, per-day could all result in the same total value just at a different number. If anything per-minute is better than per-hour as you won

This seems a bit pedantic, while you may be correct (I honestly don't know what standard this is referring to) the UTF-8 BOM is a thing that some tools do know about. Even then in the context of OP's question the BOM with UTF-8 is

That's the realm side which should be upper case. The comment reference was for hostname themselves which I've always just done as lower case and have never seen a reason to make it upper case. The krb5.conf has a [domain_realm] s

The problem I have with using a gMSA outside of Windows is you need a Kerberos principal and credential for that principal in the first place to allow retrieving the gMSA details. Why not just use that principal and avoid adding this next s

The subsystem in question would be the one to handle the logic for the syscall. So the POSIX subsystem would use the reparse data buffer as needed. It's just that the Win32 subsystem added its own symlink one in Vista/2008. This i

by jborean93 1y ago
No idea if the POSIX subsystem used NTFS or some other filesystem but if it was NTFS it probably just used the same reparse data buffer. It's just that Windows only added a symlink buffer structure in Vista/2008. You can manually

They call them pico processes and have documented them quite well [1]. The pico processes has a userland and kernel component and is quite interesting from a technical perspective. [1] https://learn.microsoft.com/en-au/

This only works tor RSA keys and I believe ciphers that do not have forward secrecy. Quic is TLS 1.3 and all the ciphers in that protocol do forward secrecy so cannot be decrypted in this way. You’ll have to use a tool that provides the TLS

How does that refute what the parent comment was saying? Sounds like you are agreeing that the problem is not the technology but the people and processes in place.
