    If you wouldn't mind, I would be curious - if you run the above curl command, do you get the same error? It could be a combination of IP + user agent (+ something else) that's caus…

    I can't access virtualbox.org any more, they now show an error page saying "Payment Required", with status code 402. Interestingly, if I change my user agent to "curl/7.70.0", I ca…

    Not sure why, but the text doesn't appear in Chrome 109: https://imgur.com/a/QyIdfax If I disable "font-family: Atkinson" it comes back, so guessing it's font related. I do see the…
