I found https://nghiant3223.github.io/2025/06/03/memory_allocation_i... to be another excellent resource on this topic.

ISO 27001 doesn't say this. The control implementation guidance (ISO 27002) specifically cautions against requiring frequent password changes.

I love this video about 'ed', the standard Unix text editor. I'll admit that in nearly 30 years of using Unix, my occasional interactions with ed have involved opening it accidenta…

Do you mind sharing the better solutions you'd consider at the higher price point?

Hanno Böck's monthly Bulletproof TLS Newsletter is an excellent summary of TLS/PKI goings-on. https://www.feistyduck.com/bulletproof-tls-newsletter/

Arsenal F.C. on the other hand are commonly referred to as the Arsenal.

I don't know where you're based, but for me (NZ), I get redirected to gizmodo.com.au. I see $12k as well, but I'm guessing that's in AUD? Looking at BTC price graphs it seems the m…

I don't have my Mac in front of me, but you can do this using Seil[1] and Karabiner[2]. From recollection, you disable caps-link in OS X settings, use Seil to map caps-lock to cont…

Another factor is that some browsers will automatically retrieve intermediate certificates that aren't supplied by the server. I'm not sure if it's still the case, but it used to b…

1. That's my understanding from the article. 2. I think this is for the situation where the glob doesn't match, and the nullglob shell option is not set. Without that option, a non…

Is there any good reason to use this approach over the more readable 'dirname $0'? Not that it would have made any difference to the bug in question of course.

It's required to prevent the shell from interpreting and expanding special characters. e.g. in the example you provide, without quotes * will be expanded to a list of files in the …

I presume by 'Stack Y' they mean a network protocol not supported out of the box, rather than a platform the editor doesn't yet run on.

Cool! It reminds me of the slitscan special effects technique that was used to create the stargate sequence at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey. http://filmmakeriq.com/lessons/slit…

It's a wrapper around optparse, as per http://click.pocoo.org/why/ . I'm curious about that decision given that optparse is deprecated. It says it's because argparse doesn't allow …

For anyone that happens to use PointDNS DNS hosting (it's free for a single domain I believe), I've written a small script to be called from cron. https://github.com/vortura/point-…

This repo is a collection of sensible SSL/TLS options for a variety of web servers, including Apache. https://github.com/ioerror/duraconf

Wow! So cool. I love the connection between the waveform and the trochoid curve on the left.

I especially love that the web proxies at my place of employment block this site as "Online Storage"
