FYI, if the goal is just to use something like an old Canon LiDE scanner (pretty common/cheap devices with no more driver support) on macOS: SANE runs natively and works great: htt…

The most unfortunate thing about Google's 3D photogrammetry is that they don't allow you to view historical captures, as they only serve the flattened 2D version there. For the tim…

I was wondering about this too. I thought that it could be about it being possible to use archive.today to view sites otherwise blocked via DNS, but web.archive.org[1] doesn't have…

> all the content in the past 4+ years is about archive.today But it's not? This was published between the two posts about archive.today: https://gyrovague.com/2025/02/23/anatomy-o…

I'm not a web developer, but I've picked up some bits of knowledge here and there, mostly from troubleshooting issues I encounter while using websites. I know there are a number of…

Call me naive, but I still believe that people generally disapprove of their internet connection being abused to conduct cyber-attacks.

There's probably a worthwhile discussion to be had about what it takes for a site in this situation to be removed from blocklists. An apology? Surrender to authorities? Halting the…

As far as I am aware, all previous issues with archive.today and Cloudflare were on account of archive.today taking measures to stop Cloudflare's DNS from correctly resolving their…

"archive.today is currently categorized as: * CIPA Filter * Reference * Command and Control & Botnet * DNS Tunneling" Ditto for their other domains like archive.is and archive.ph E…

This was fixed/changed at some point. I use Cloudflare's DNS and it works fine for me.

I've been using an IODD 2531 enclosure for many years now, and it's doing pretty much exactly that. It works with any ISO I throw at it and has no issues with Secure Boot. It’s als…

Not sure if this still works, but you used to be able to run "wsreset.exe -i" to install the Microsoft Store. The command kicks off the process in the background, so there's no pro…

I think a dedicated "TikTok but AI" is infinitely better than AI videos polluting other platforms. Of course, in practice, the latter is already the case, rendering the theoretical…

3D rendering and fluid simulation stuff could be interesting.

Warning: My German legalese isn't very good and this is not legal advice. I unfortunately know very little about how the German court system works and where to look up stuff. The l…

Crucially, it would have to be set up so they need to use the hardware key when pushing any changes. Just requiring a hardware key as a login method does nothing to protect against…

Complete AI slop. "Contents" lists hallucinated directories that don't exist in the repo, and the report is pretty much just that log entries with the word "debug" in them supposed…

> if you don't mind buying grey market keys Please don't buy "grey market" MS keys (i.e. super cheap keys or keys for products not sold to end users, like LTSC). Either buy keys fr…

FAT32 is not an option because Windows images these days are all over 4GiB. exFAT is very widely supported; the alternative would be NTFS, which doesn't work well (no write support…

It also has an issue with remembering the last mounted .iso if its filename is beyond a certain length, in which case it will instead load a random (although always the same) .iso …

I'd still pick RDP for remote managing any day, its server and client are so much better integrated (clipboard, peripherals, etc.) for this task than Sunshine/Moonlight. It also av…
