In this case, the rm -rf before that does. The rmdir is the Windows command in this example and with /s /q, it will quietly delete everything.

Not at all; standard IR procedure is scope -> containment -> eradication -> recovery. There is a fog right now; we don't know all the details. It seems to me that it's just as like…

There is a lot of love in my group from years of MtG for drafting games, so 7 Wonders and Dune Imperium are consistent favorites. When we have the time, we'll do Twilight Imperium.…

A Technology Connections video recently changed my opinion on this. The land required to power the entire U.S. would be less than the farmland we currently use for ethanol producti…

Per the article, the issue is with recalled batteries that are going to take 18-24 months to be replaced that won't allow the bus to charge pas 75% or below 41 degrees and because …

It sounds like you're describing Google's proposal, which I believe is at least feasible (though likely uneconomic) unlike, say, Starcloud's. I don't think you are correct about th…

I never said Google wasn't serious; I said they are hardly betting on it relative to their other capital expenditures. Google rightfully describes this as a "moonshot." To date, th…

Google is hardly betting on it; they are exploring the feasibility of it and are frank about the engineering challenges: > significant engineering challenges remain, such as therma…

Not even a little; doesn’t pass napkin math. It doesn’t solve any problems while adding a litany of new ones: massive radiators for heat rejection, radiation hardening, and enormou…

Based on the comments in the thread, I sense I will be in the minority, but for most consumers this is a reasonable default. Broadly speaking, the threat model most users are conce…

Several open source tools can be found on GitHub, but here’s the “official” one https://github.com/HaveIBeenPwned/PwnedPasswordsDownloader

For password hashing, only short-output or broken hash functions have practical collision concerns. The odds of any random collision with a 256-bit hash, and not with a specific ha…

You can check against the API with just the first characters of your hashed password (SHA-1 or NTLM), for example: https://api.pwnedpasswords.com/range/21BD1 or you can download th…

Doesn't look like it. https://github.com/anewtypeofinterference/Optician-Sans/issu...

I believe this was the original announcement https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/powershell-is-open-so... . I have used it on Linux and it is included by default in Kali and Par…

Bitwarden is also a zero knowledge architecture built on E2EE; I would presume that is the standard in the industry.

Open-source versus proprietary and the option to self-host are the two that immediately come to mind.

This doesn't pass the sniff test. Please, show me the napkin math where this remotely adds up.

My dad was obsessed with this game while I was growing up and I was so proud to learn how to use DOSBox so that he could play it again. A very formative game for me and I get a nos…

The author posted a link to an article[1] showing that Mississippi's retention policies were not responsible for the increase in scores. > But I've gotten some plausible pushback f…

Peru is 500k square miles, while Ontario 415k square miles.

In my case, at least Google Maps knows the city where I live. Apple Maps has my whole neighborhood in a nearby city.
