It's funny that you mention NewCookie, there is actually a deprecated Set-Cookie2 header already: https://stackoverflow.com/q/9462180/3474615

Before reading this, I assumed the method would involve rewriting large parts of the game's graphics code. But it sounds like the author is intercepting draw calls and changing them to use color instead! Looking forward to the rest of this series.

I was bracing myself for another "don't support Linux because packaging is a mess" post, but was pleasantly surprised. Only 3 of the Linux reported bugs were Linux-specific - all the others were real cross-platform bugs affecting everyone. Free QA, indeed.

I'm glad someone archived this. I had a feeling this was going to happen when I saw how new the posts were.

Looks like cURL and SQLite have the same woes: https://www.sqlite.org/cves.html

Previously I worked on an open source project that pulled in many third party libraries. Users would run their corpo vulnerability scanners on the project and find dependencies with open CVEs and demand fixes, not understanding that in our usage of the libraries, the vulnerability is not exposed.

I think in 4 years, we had users open roughly 50 issues like this, which corresponded to exactly 0 real world exploitable issues.

A central vuln DB makes sense for sysadmins, but too many make it the end-all-be-all.

TransUnion is broken for me, has been for years. I have to reset my password every single time.

Funny to see another BitCraft here - I own https://BitCraft.io, although it's no longer an active company.

If a local university doesn't take them, the IA will - they accept donations of physical materials and will digitize and index them: https://help.archive.org/help/how-do-i-make-a-physical-donat...

Please don't "move fast and break things" with nuclear fusion :-)

It sounds like the DOD already does block emails to .ml because of this issue:

> Lt. Cmdr Tim Gorman [...] said that emails sent directly from the .mil domain to Malian addresses “are blocked before they leave the .mil domain and the sender is notified that they must validate the email addresses of the intended recipients”.

I think the issue is people sending emails from personal accounts that the DOD cannot control. The article also mentions travel agents as another source of the email.

I felt the same way, which is why I started a recurring donation to WikiMedia. After about a year, they e-mailed me trying to convince me to write WikiMedia into my will. Check out this transparent attempt at manipulation:

> Many supporters like you who understand the usefulness of planning ahead have chosen to include a gift to Wikipedia in their will. They want to do more to protect free knowledge and are invested in building a legacy with Wikipedia to ensure their values live on for many years to come.

"If you understood the importance of planning ahead, you'd already have WikiMedia in your will, bozo"

There are probably newer tools for this, but we use `eslint-plugin-expect-type` [0] for this:

Approximately 61,761,765 emails sent, if we figure 1 email per comment per member. Nice!

> The truth is no one really sells your email – at least no legitimate companies.

`xfinity2@mydomain.com` is the only email that I've ever caught being sold via my catch-all email. I get a decent amount of phishing, scams, malware, etc. to that address. But I guess the author is still correct, since Xfinity/Comcast are sometimes less than legitimate.

Just for fun. It adds a little personality to your profile page, plus it shows up when folks hover over your username across GitHub.

Yeah, I noticed that too, someone's getting scammed.

Does ICANN already have rules around what prices registrars can charge for domains? It seems like that's the only solution in the current TLD system - ICANN needs to step in and prevent anti-consumer practices like year-over-year price increases that vastly outstrip inflation.

> It stopped working the day Google activated their proxies on mobile networks.

What is this referring to? You've piqued my interest.

Huh, so it turns out Zeitgeist wasn't telling the truth 100% after all: https://youtu.be/iGLQF3Aiw4M?t=5266

Looks like it's not supported on the Nano, Trinket, or Uno, which were the only devices I had laying around: https://arduino.stackexchange.com/a/39638

Otherwise, that would work fine, but not all motherboards support power-on via USB HID, most support PS/2 though.

It wasn't my intent to imply that. However, it would be possible for a trusted CA to issue a certificate like this, which would allow anyone holding it to intercept any SSL traffic without raising alarms.

I don't believe so, at least not according to this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/13155066/3474615

> I saw that all notifications/alerts are disabled anyway, and yet I end up getting a bunch of alert spam!

Yup, that matches my experience, that's (partially) why I called the site "unusable"

I STILL can't figure out how to unsubscribe from those incident alerts. There's no link in the email to manage notification settings, and their website is unusable, so I just send them to spam now.

I do think that they were being "more honest" than other cloud providers, since I've noticed that almost every PAAS or SAAS will have brief outages for small sections of the userbase that aren't mentioned on their status page, either out of laziness or for the PR.

I do agree that trackpad support on Linux isn't the greatest, but you could have used the GNOME Tweaks settings application (GUI) to change your mouse acceleration profile. Maybe next time :)

I wonder if that's where they got the name in the first place. I can't even remember my old rocketmail address anymore.

GE actually sold their entire 3.0.0.0/8 block off to AWS a few years ago.

It's a little awkward since a lot of internal software is still configured to whitelist all access from that space since it was a constant for so long.
