A "petty battle against CloudFlare DNS users"? No. They require a standardized DNS extension in order for their services to operate properly, and CloudFlare is waging a petty battl…

It doesn't even matter whether the copyright owner likes it or knows about it or not. Selling a used book is legal.

Meanwhile, all the copies of those same books which were purchased by libraries are now sitting on library shelves, unable to be loaned out. The copyright holders have already gott…

That's pretty clearly exactly what they're arguing.

Yeah... that's very rare.

They are open ports which are accessible to the Internet at large. Or at least, any site you go to. If you don't like that there are various means to close off those ports to your …

How is it not? Uniqueness would cease to matter between different tenants. They're unique by virtue of using a different database.

IMO this is a symptom of a larger problem with the entire web 'ecosystem' (HTML, CSS, JS primarily). It all tries (or tried, anyway) to be simple and easy and forgiving - which mea…

You can always take a multi-tenant system and convert it into a single-tenant system a lot more easily. First and foremost, you can simply run the full multi-tenant system with onl…

Open ports which are accessible to the Internet at large are not "machine internals". If you do not want someone to access your systems, then you should configure your systems to n…

No, really? I would've never guessed.

Honestly, this misses the worst part of the ISO layout. PUT MY \| BACK WHERE IT BELONGS!

I honestly prefer just using right alt as a AltGr. Even have a custom Windows layout to re-create (parts of) the "US International (with dead keys)" layout from Linux/X/GNOME/where…
