RSS is great for informing readers of new content. Sadly only a few actually use it, except (unknowingly, for a large part of the population) for... Podcasts. So, thinking out loud…

Turning shoes into carpet padding is probably "downcycling". I think recycling would mean most of the shoe would be used for new shoes or something of similar complexity, retaining…

This is kind of already the case on Android. If you've installed RealActualBankApp (with the ID of real.actual.bank.app) once (from whatever source!) then there cannot be another a…

Wear on the chain is greatly increased though on a 1x12 versus a 2x10, because of alignment. Tolerances on a 1x setup are also much tighter, not ideal for long distance cycletrekki…

Hmmmmm, a visor? I suppose it'll get steamed up pretty easily when hillclimbing on a cold damp morning.

Thanks, I wrote them. I'm curious as to what will come of it.

Or rather – one of the downsides of many hosted Postgres installs, notably AWS RDS, is that you're not able to use the extensions you want.

Yeah, so, it's not injecting? To inject something into X, X needs to exist. X does not exist yet when execve is set up. I'm not being pedantic. I just want to read about injection …

I couldn't find the technique used above the fold (or a short way below). Is this something more (and something more interesting) than just standard spawned process inheriting the …

Totally. Ideally it'd go like this: Offer services for free (eg cross-subsidized by another business arm) in order to carve out a gigantic kingdom with millions of users, smotherin…

From memory from working with these a couple of years ago: Firefox extension asset URLs are random and long (there's a UUID in there iirc). The extension itself can discover its ra…

Use fans. They don't like flying around in wind and they don't know where to fly to anymore because the fan disperses the CO2 you produce so quickly that there's no gradient for th…

For SSH specifically (ssh user@host "command with args") I've written this workaround pseudoshell that makes it easy to pass your argument vector to execve unmolested. https://crat…

Great, but I would've been happier if I'd had some dead simple dependency tracking 10 years ago. Just enough to create metabug functionality with. Like Bugzilla, Trac, Mantis etc h…

Even if you enforce SSL-only on inbound mail, you're still vulnerable to the downgrade attack (or rather: the "prevent upgrade to TLS attack") - someone can MITM, and the sender wi…
