Huh. The researchers seemed to gloss over the Cloudflare Pages URL, but it's actually pretty interesting. I haven't had a chance to look at it in depth yet, but it appears to use t…

It could be cumulative users on the addons page, and week-to-week usage statistics for the addons on the data page.

Tangentially related, I just recently found out that Lumberyard actually was spun out[1] into the open source Open 3D Engine[2] under the stewardship of the Linux Foundation. It's …

I'd call D&D more of a framework for collaborative storytelling that can absolutely be played as a game. The DM leads the adventure, the players decide how to respond to things. Ev…

During the initial kerfuffle, a Unity employee did quote one of their lawyers saying the following[1]: > Our terms of service provide that Unity may add or change fees at any time.…

I know for me (as someone who would likely never have had to pay a dime under either pricing scheme) the crux of the issue was unilateral, retroactive changes to a license that was…

Definitely use a battle-tested HTML sanitization library if possible. There's a million different pitfalls and footguns with XSS. See: Some of the insane XSS polyglots out there th…

However, if you're the creator of a Firefox/Chrome extension, and want to utilize the WebExtension support in Safari, your deployment workflow can no longer be platform agnostic.

I was thinking on that. You still need peripherals if you're using a Mac Mini, though that's no different than if you were using another desktop. Still though, if you don't use, or…

Not to mention the $700+ upfront hardware investment if you don't already have an Apple machine.

Synchronous communication typically means something that demands your attention as soon as something is sent. Asynchronous communication is something that typically handled wheneve…

I mean, when a lawyer takes a case on contingency, they're essentially gambling their time on hopes of an outcome where their share (30-50% isn't uncommon, if I remember correctly)…

Alright, since linking the entirety of title 17 isn't exactly easy to refer to as a source, the relevant part is 17 USC 203.^1 It's probably one of the more complex parts of copyri…

Down towards the bottom it seems like it's only presently available in the US, and they're simply using `.sm` as a clever domain name hack/gccTLD (e.g. .io domains, .ly domains, et…

Quite a few "people" have solved it it looks like, and it's riddled with persisted XSS attacks once you get past it. Here's the returned response when you succeed: https://hasteb.i…

I'll try and put together a collection of great workshop mods when I'm home tomorrow and shoot it your way :)

There are definitely some games that just don't translate as well to Tabletop Sim, but as far as shared tabletop experiences, TTS blows every other one I've tried out of the water …

There's a lot more regulation and guidance around taking down a phishing site at the domain level, rather than at the provider level. (E.g. Hosting company, CloudFlare and other DN…

Honestly, I'm glad they didn't. There's not much use in a whois privacy service if they'll give up the info just because a company says "this is infringing".
