Ahhh very interesting! Thanks for pointing this out, I saw an attack against one of our sites this weekend using this exploit.

I would love to find a circular LCD (even down to 1 or 2 inches across) that has a hole in the center, to be able to use it with a needle/stepper motor.
VxKex/VxKex-NEXT really is an amazing bit of work. It helps me run the latest Apache, PHP, Go-based tools (ngrok/stripe cli), node. It’s been a game changer for keeping W7 going.
Thank you!
And it downloads at ADSL speeds for the full experience (although Cloudflare in front of the ISO kind of breaks character).
That certainly doesn't come off well for SparkFun.
+1 for a Windows 7 clone. I have not seen a theme that comes close to copying Win7.
Thanks for that! So it's most likely user agent then. Wonder why they don't like it.
If you wouldn't mind, I would be curious - if you run the above curl command, do you get the same error?
It could be a combination of IP + user agent (+ something else) that's causing me trouble.
I can't access virtualbox.org any more, they now show an error page saying "Payment Required", with status code 402.
Interestingly, if I change my user agent to "curl/7.70.0", I can browse virtualbox.org again.
They seem to be unhappy with my user agent specifically:
curl -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/109.0.0.0 Safari/537.36" https://www.virtualbox.org
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

<title>402 Payment Required</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Payment Required</h1>Not sure why, but the text doesn't appear in Chrome 109: https://imgur.com/a/QyIdfax
If I disable "font-family: Atkinson" it comes back, so guessing it's font related. I do see the two .woff files load in the Network tab. Interestingly, when I preview either font file, I see the sample of the font (AaBbCc etc.) in a flash for just milliseconds, and then it disappears and I see nothing.

Those <Pause [0A]> tokens cause the came to pause for a few moments before ...
Should be "cause the game to pause" :)
In the same way, Apple is equally difficult about forcing the use of Apple Maps.
If you receive an address in an iMessage, clicking/long-holding will always open in Apple Maps. There is no way to share to Google Maps (it doesn't appear in the list), and the default setting to use Google Maps doesn't affect iMessage.
You have to copy the address, switch to Google Maps, paste it in, and search. I would much prefer clicking the address to open in the app of my choice.
On the https://www.codacy.com/get-ide-extension page, clicking the logo in the top-left corner of your webpage goes to https://www.codacy.com/home?hsLang=en which is 404. The logo link on other pages is working.
I did exactly this when I built my shed (with the same justification) - running fiber in the same conduit as the power to the shed.
But, I found out during inspection that the Canadian Electrical Code prohibits this, unless the fiber is functionally related to the power lines it is running with (section 56-200).
The explanation I received for the rule, was that someone like a telco installer could try and follow the fiber line, and find themselves in a dangerous situation (inside an electrical panel they aren't trained to handle).
I was able to get an exception since I am the only one who will ever open the cabinets/work on this fiber, since it was not the main internet feed to the house, but just to an outbuilding.
Guess this is a few weeks old, and I missed the news.
What a shame - this was the only place in recent memory where I could talk directly with "level 2+" tech support for my ISP.
What cymbal line have you used?
The "ZBT" cymbals I started on were not great (cheap, meant for beginners), but over time I've switched to the "A" series which sound comparatively great.
The "K" dry sound is even more impressive, albeit with an accompanying price tag.
Self-hosted InvoiceNinja 4 & Stripe integration. Works great, sends follow-up emails, adds gateway fees to the invoice.

We have thoroughly checked the issue reported by you and we would like to confirm, that there is indeed a bug in our system. As a result, modification rights for the domain are not removed when the domain is sold or pushed to another Namecheap account. Regrettably, we do not have any ETA on the fix at the moment.
Today I recieved this response from Namecheap support, confirming that my account had unauthorized access to a domain after it was sold in the marketplace:
---
I can see that the domain you mentioned is still shared and can be managed by your account, even though it was sold via our Marketplace. It will take a while to investigate the case properly and fix the bug.
I'll ask the team to keep you updated on the progress. As for the domain itself, due to security reasons, we'll need to revoke your access to it.
---
Anyone who has bought a domain through the "sell domain" feature - you should immediately check for unauthorized access to your domain(s).
Hi tamar,
Thanks again for your patience. The ticket number is QKL-147-94127.
Hi tamar,
You have brought up what is precisely my concern, and what I couldn't convey to support.
If I open a ticket with the domain name, what's to stop the access being removed, and declaring "problem solved", without actually addressing the underlying issue?
Either delegated access remaining after a sale is a mistake (in which case there is now "unauthorized access"), or it's "by design" (in which case users should be made aware so they can remove this access after buying a domain). Regardless, I think you shouldn't need to know the specific domain in order to say which situation it is.
Hi tamar, I don't have a ticket number. How can I reach you to continue this conversation?
Highly recommend the Criminal Podcast episode on Ken McElroy

Ah, my mistake, thanks for letting me know.
I do have a US PO Box, so I will try this next time. Thanks for the suggestion.
Their reply, verbatim:
Hi xxxx,
We only ship to large businesses and schools in Canada. We can't accept your order. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. You might want to try Fastenal or Motion Canada.

We are in Ontario, Canada, if it matters. I know Quinn from blondiehacks orders from them without difficulty, so I’m not sure what it is about us that they don’t like. They tend to be very curt/nearing unfriendly in their responses.
McMaster-Carr won’t sell to small companies, my friends and I have tried several times, only to have orders cancelled for the above-mentioned reason. It’s a shame because their website has a wealth of information (CAD drawings, measurements, etc.), one of the best I’ve seen.
