    Let me change that a bit: "it's pretty ubiquitous in the US". It's not common everywhere. My personal observation (in NL) is that with the transition from cash to contactless payme…

    /mnt historically was used as a single mount point. This became problematic when it became common to have multiple temporary mounts, for example a CD-ROM and a USB stick. /media so…

    zserio [1] has the former at least. It isn't intended for the same use cases as protobuf/capnproto/flatbutter though; in particular it has no backward or forwards compatibility. Bu…

    The WISPr[0] standard was created for this purpose, and is (or was by now?) used by companies such as iPass to their customers to transparently log in to most WiFi hotspots. I don'…
