Is that the same feature as vlanid= in openwrt's wpa_psk_file? https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/basic#wpa_p... I was leaning towards using this configuration for sp…

Kaitai is pretty nice. Hex editors with structure parsing support used to be more rare than they are now, so I've used https://ide.kaitai.io/ instead a few times. Also, the newest …

https://xsleaks.dev/docs/attacks/experiments/scroll-to-text-... may be a better description about the security impact, and has more context about this and similar cross site leaks …

There was a conversation on their mailing list contemplating dropping NSS support. https://curl.se/mail/lib-2022-01/0120.html If you have a use case for NSS in curl, you may want t…

When I built an ARM based NAS, I chose to use the Banana Pi BPI-R2 because it was one of the very few boards with 2x SATA ports using PCI-E. It worked fine and got good speeds. It'…

Technically `git push --signed` also exists which could fix the issue of rolling back commits. It would verify that the person doing the push also holds the GPG key at least. But a…

Or many of the other issues that plague archive formats: duplicate files in the archive at the same path, symlinks in the archive or relative links enabling directory traversal.

Wow, git's url bugs always seem to become easily exploitable due to .gitmodules. I found CVE-2015-7545 a few years ago, a malicious URL using the ext:: scheme could cause code exec…

I prefer YoNTMA: https://github.com/iSECPartners/yontma-mac If the laptop is disconnected from AC, it hibernates. It will switch to hibernate if power is removed while already slee…

This reminds me of the time my party argued about how much modern information theory we were allowed to use in D&D. We wanted to maximize the amount of information to communicate u…

> The LE HTTP challenge gives no guarantee which A record it will use. That almost changed[0], but the current consensus[1] seems to be that you should be using dns-01 for validati…

Done.

If anyone wants these steps fully automated you can use this script: https://gist.github.com/bburky/40317e6375b1262b1a1fc31072acf... Just use it as a User Data file on DigitalOcean…

Even better: allow using CSS transitions to make moving turrets.

Nice trick. It looks like this is actually a POSIX shell feature too, so feel free to use this in portable shell scripts even. Here's the rest of the parameter expansion options. I…

While strace is awesome in general, git has some very useful debug environment variables: GIT_TRACE, GIT_TRACE_PACKET, GIT_CURL_VERBOSE and a few more[1]. Try: GIT_TRACE_PACKET=1 G…

I have this bookmarked for some reason, it may help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3205819/bezier-path-widen... Half the links are dead now. This is the openjdk Stroker.java c…

Yep, that's mine. Actually, it was you Christian, who was describing the git graphs as train tracks and prompted me to do this. vbarbaresi, you should include the script or whateve…

Also, curl gained a --next command line option somewhat recently. It lets you send off multiple requests in the same curl invocation. These requests will all be pipelined in the sa…

Also, is there any reason Git LFS can't be used as a special remote for git-annex? It would provide an easy way for people to host their git-annex repos entirely on GitHub.

I want to see someone implement surround sound with head tracking. Some Googling turns up some research projects that have done this with either face tracking or accelerometers. An…
