Interestingly on a much older OS (Yosemite) cURL, etc. links to Security.framework which uses the system's trust store instead a separate .pem file in /etc/ssl (I can't find any .pem inside /etc/ssl) I wonder why they…
Shouldn't it be easy to attach a sensor at the belly of the turtle that alarms staff when it happens. Sounds like an actual no-brainer use for modern technology.
Most of the stuff just seems/ feels to be (security) theatre. I actually disabled most of my OSCP, etc., for privacy reasons. No need to permanently send requests out to the web, when it won't help anyway when really…
I never heard of axel. Seems to be an interesting project. And it's coded in a properly supported language, so I can try it on my ageing OS X installation. :) Thanks for the tip.
Wouldn't it be even more ideal to have the webserver and app be one and the same binary, all bells and whistles included? No need for CGI at all. Just one static binary, no extra disk I/O needed to load resources (all…
Homebrew links everything by default (at least that's how it was), so you ended up with all kind of extra junk files all over the place you never needed that comes with some packages... all cluttering up things in the…
I don't think MacPorts users have those kind of problems. Personally I was burnt by Homebrew many years ago already. I lost trust in any such package managers. Since then I went back to just compile everything myself (I…
I don't see any advantage of any of the new formats over the good old and proven formats, so I stick with PNG and JPEG (properly optimized.) I can fire up any old browser and it will just work.
For the fun of it: I asked Google Gemini and ChatGPT (OpenAI) "What is AWeb?" and they both gave me the amiga browser as answer. No idea if they just know, or did a similar lookup as I did? :)
What a weird name to choose. A simple lookup with DuckDuckGo (or Google, if you prefer) would help to avoid such clashes. Probably any of the so called "AIs" could have pointed that out too. AWeb is already a well-known…
They allow port scans? I did use nmap on a Linux VM going over the free ProtonVPN for this purpose, but at some point Proton broke something (it may be related to their VPN accelerator feature) and checking any port…
Occasionally drag'n'drop failures —where it just stops working— I experienced already with Yosemite, so it may be a VERY old bug. :) Usually you would see "CoreDragError" codes popping up in the system.log Rather than…
If you leave that in it's actually worse, since the platform was discontinued. I had to fix all my client's projects to remove this stuff. One of those stillborn ideas of the EU.
In my own ranking of favourite programming languages C is at the first place. C++ comes in last. I personally hate it when people write C/C++ as if it's the very same thing. I'm quite sure there's more like me out…
If they don't have to re-code half the app (new UI kit, not required features, etc.) then what does it matter if they are 10k unrelated commits behind? I like it's there as a choice for us who prefer the old-timey…
I do not have one (and it's actually true.) And it's not easy. :-(
The proper way to cheat is to not leave a trace on the tracker where a tracker staff may or may not make correct judgement. It's called "ghost leeching." Basically you directly connect to known peers' IPs (e.g. from…
You mean that if I experience a call of nature with AROS I have to stop, dismount, and go behind a tree? :)
"cross-platform" and Rust, as advertised in the current title/link label, is incompatible for sure. Can't get that to run on my older OS X machine nor my Amiga. :)
So I guess ram disks are deprecated too? (AFAIR hdiutil was the only way to create them)
Isn't the general separation between species that they no longer can cleanly interbreed (generate fertile offsprings)? I'm no biology expert though, but I always thought this is how to separate things. Humans of all…
Would it have been different, if they had everyone take the cargo entrance?
No. No luck here with any form of settings (I generally use uBlock origin in hard mode by default). It always loads the 'Just a quick check -- We’re checking your connection to prevent automated abuse' page. Depending…
I can't get past the Cloud<bleep> check. I guess the site/information is for G(r)eek elites only too.
Why did they put it under "dev/basic"?
