Thanks for this dude! I have a forked copy with a few different things and it works great. We catch so many IPs and I get a good feeling about slowing down these guys. I do still have to try on 2022 but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

I work for an MSP that uses Datto to back up lots of servers and saved our bacon after the Kaseya hack! (Ironic how they're buying you now.) And I remember when you were using VBox, QEMU is much improved. Having QEMU boot up the backed-up VM to a screenshot that you can just email to us really helps prove to auditors that yes, our backups are tested! Now just replace all the spinning hard disks in your data centers with NVMe so we can get decent performance. :)
My brother-in-law streams on Twitch, but I only really find it interesting when he's playing an adventure or JRPG game with a plot and story. Right now he's doing one day a week of Final Fantasy X for a couple hours and it's been really fun.
I still use Pidgin for XMPP and the increasingly-unreliable-Facebook-Messenger plugin, along with a Gnome extension that allows me to reply directly to chat popups from the notification no matter what virtual desktop I'm on. I really can't get that combination anywhere else in fact and I hope it never stops working. :)
Probably what we need to do is figure out what COVID has in common with the other viral infections (esp. how they affect the body long term, which wasn't a huge thing people were talking about or researching pre-COVID), and then we from there we can figure out what is unique about this virus (and its variants).
It made my life as an MSP easier for sure and allowed us to support more clients and bigger businesses and get more done. But I fear you might be right, and it just isn’t worth the risk of a hole like this. Now I’m going to be up for days restoring servers, and data on any workstations that wasn’t backed up is gone. I think we’ll be filing a claim for this one.
This was a great article (I read it last week). It's nice that there are a lot of playthroughs of these adventures on youtube, here's on for St Bride's "Very Big Cave Adventure": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x0LmeWhXTk
I am just amazed people pay attention to the ads. I’m sure this is happening to me but my brain has gotten so good at filtering them out that I have no idea what they’re even trying to sell me!
Then actually it might not help you too much... it's really a replacement font rendering engine for Windows (initially Windows GDI rendering and now they're adding in support for DirectWrite). It uses FreeType with various parameters to make the font rendering look more like macOS (in a nutshell: macOS doesn't use aggressive hinting to force the font shapes into the pixel grid, which makes it blurrier but more accurate on low-resolution screens; Windows does, and so it looks sharper on low-resolution screens).
However while looking around at a bug report to get MacType to work in Firefox [0] I came across a setting in Firefox's about:config [1] that can change the font rendering and that might help you out. Not sure about the history forking thing but there may be some Firefox extension to help with that.
The reason I submitted this is because I know several businesses that still use VB6 programs every day, and a couple software developers who use VB6 nearly every day! (One major accounting package, Sage 500, is written mostly in VB6 too.) While they've made forays into .NET development, "it's just not the same", and a project like this would really be an amazing bridge into the future. Please contribute if you can!
I'd be interested in that too, since audacious is what I usually run when I just want to listen to some random file, or live music where I need gapless mp3 support (what other players support it?) If I want access to my library I've been using Strawberry for that which is pretty good.
tenable keeps telling me that something "interfered" with its scans for PCI compliance - isn't the point of a firewall IPS system to do that? but i don't even have it on for the IP in question, so I basically have to just edit my network range to remove it. it really is bullshit.
He's trying to explain that the reason you end up with so much technical debt in the first place (after explaining to a layperson what that is) is /because/ of organizational cultural failures.
My nearly 7yo loves Minecraft too - both Java and Bedrock! He keeps asking me about Roblox but I've also heard of the whole monetizing thing and I keep telling him to stick to Minecraft as well.
I'm going to need someone to come along and write up a layman's summary of this article. :) Does it change the end result of Gödel? Or is it basically the equivalent of saying what some restricted programming languages are doing, that we can get "good enough" results and not have these problems by restricting what we can do in the language?
This is why I wish we'd done more basic research on the immune system long ago. Maybe if we'd invested more time and money into a vaccine for HIV/AIDS, a disease which attacks the immune system directly, we'd realize we need to do this basic research on how our immune system works in order to even begin to understand a pandemic and our response to it. But at least I have hope we're getting it now so when something worse comes along we'll be more ready for it.
I don't think we can reject it though. We may not / shouldn't "like" it, and we can sort of shove it to the background and try to come up with other explanations or theories that are more explanatory, but we do have to acknowledge that at least the weak form does make a kind of sense and we can't ignore it.
