    Reading the comments in this thread, I think it's difficult for some folks here to accept that many, many people outside their bubble genuinely despise what they're doing, and it's…

    Not security, but I ran into a related supply-chain issue recently. I needed a library to perform a moderately complex task, and found one in the ecosystem I was working with that …

    If I have a disk image or access to the physical drive, it's trivial. This means they can no longer be considered encrypted at rest.

    Awesome! Is there a working way to do the same for Windows virtual desktops? I remember I used to do it with ViVeTool [0], but Microsoft removed the feature flag at some point. [0]…

    This seems like it might be a good place to ask: does anyone know of a low-cost, readily-available SBC box with built-in dual Ethernet interfaces? I've been very interested in some…

    The comments in that thread were shameful. If only the commit author names changed, then it would be trivial to run a git diff comparing the content of the old and new HEADs. But n…

    Super cool! But I so rarely reach for the physical calculators I already have these days. Any recommendations on RPN calculators for Windows or Android? The one I've got on my phon…
