Assuming US gallons, $8/US gallon works out as £1.60/litre. That sounds about right for current UK prices, depending on what and where you're buying it. (Yes, fuel is expensive her…

Usernames for new users always show up in green.

That's true for SAML2, but not SAML1 - not that anything should be using SAML1 these days.

Outdated certificates are actually fine with regards to SAML, oddly enough; the logic being that the trust is handled out of band at metadata level, and the certificate is just a p…

I'd say the main difference is that OAuth is granting the SP the ability to "do stuff" as the original user (including reading the user's profile details, as OIDC does), as opposed…

> What is an "OAuth key"? Do you mean an OAuth token? No, Golden SAML is worse than stealing an OAuth token, because an OAuth token is valid for 1 user, but Golden SAML can be used…

> But that's the thing: deciding how software is built and which features are shipped to users _is_ under our control. The case with xz was exceptionally bad because of the state o…

Yes, but as MongoDB is a document database, storing and updating giant blobs of JSON as a single operation as opposed to breaking the JSON down into individual fields is intended b…

Try https://infinitedigits.co/tinker/thx/ instead?

In fairness, they also gave us the joys of `strcpy(src_ptr, dest_ptr)` and `scanf("%s", str_ptr)`, which with the benefit of hindsight and many buffer overflows later were a terrib…

Those numbers look like they could be about right for 2020/2021, but using them in a 2023 article is meaningless given the effects of the war in Ukraine on gas and electricity pric…

"EnableSendfile On" will enable that on Apache, and has been around since Apache 2.0.44. It's not enabled by default though, and as you say, TLS breaks it.

It's true that Blue Pill and friends were an issue 15 years ago. I would have expected VT-x to be on by default now though given that Windows 10 and 11 both use virtualisation for …

LXC/LXD are probably the closest to that on Linux, although I'm not sure about nesting containers.

Linux has supported 240/4 addresses for years, but Windows still does not.

The 50.03% is specifically US traffic; for global traffic, it's 36.89%.

The thing is though that 40% of the German gas supply comes from Russia at the moment. That means that if you can eliminate the 15% used for electricity, you've reduced the demand …

You can actually do most of this today; you just need to have the metric equivalent amount at least as visible on the packaging and pricing labels to satisfy the EU rules. Milk is …

Even the kilogram is defined via physical constants these days ( https://www.bipm.org/documents/20126/41483022/SI-Brochure-9.... , pages 21 and 205 in the PDF).

Likely because DNS worked just fine without EDNS client IP (and indeed DNS) for decades. For example, I remember the use of the 4.2.2.2 server, which was globally accessible but US…

I'd say the main argument for using microk8s over minikube is that Canonical supports it, assuming that's a relevant concern. The issue for both microk8s and minikube is how to act…

The problem you're possibly missing here is that oil is used for a lot more than just fuel and energy production. It's used for everything else: road surfacing, plastic production,…

The real issue is that the people who want to use the product and the people needed to make it usable aren't necessarily the same. Marketing generally caters for the former set of …

There were similar issues more recently (2018/19) with custom XML entities or comments. The XML signature was unaffected, but if code used the equivalent of element.children[0] to …

I would be tempted to skip the Docker part entirely and use raw EC2 instances plus Packer or whatever tool of choice to.deploy the code. You still get autoscaling that way, and add…
