    Agreed, this is exactly how 2FA should work. Allowing support staff to deactivate 2FA is a massive security weakness.

    These are not normal account signups, they are signups to become an associate member ( https://join.osmfoundation.org/ ) which can vote in foundation elections.

    I've been unable to extract the inner rars with 7-zip. Each shakespeare.html just gives a "Data error"

    Some observatories (including this one it seems) use liquid mercury as mirrors: https://sunspot.solar/about/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_mirror_telescope

    A zero-configuration free CDN is a pretty good reason in my opinion.

    This is some _incredible_ clickbait. The latest JRE and JDK will continue to be free. What Oracle are charging for is continued Java 8 support.

    And he doesn't ridicule people who don't use HTTPS, he ridicules people who spread BS about how it's not necessary.

    This definitely seems like an interesting product, but if you're an anti-piracy company then maybe you shouldn't be using a pirated font. If you check the Product Sans CSS file you…
