> Chrome attempts to detect these lookalike domains by comparing the URL you visited with other URLs that are either very popular, or that you have visited previously. These checks all happen within Chrome -- Chrome does not communicate with Google to perform these checks.
“Very popular” does make it sound like they have preloaded some list of the top 1000 or whatever domains.
Some HSMs I've used (payshields) have tamper sensors that can detect motion for this reason.
> The ADXL362 accelerometer in the PayShield 10K acts as a "Motion Sensor" detecting tilt movements. An alarm triggers an alert if the HSM is moved (for example, slid out of the rack)
As an infrasec person, DoH is great because we can config manage all the corp devices to use DoH servers run by the company whether not a device is on VPN. Good visibility into what devices are looking up, easy internal domains, and ensuring malware domains are blocked on and off network.
At least the companies I’ve been working for have a lot more laptops at coffee shops and weworks, and probably not on a VPN half the time either. DoH has been a way bigger win than a hassle for me.
how would you ever get online at a coffee shop? Almost all of this use a captive portal that redirects DNS to some internal webpage making you click a button that says "I agree to your completely absurd terms and conditions"
I have found that fewer places seem to be doing captive portals and are just going back to open wifi or maybe a well-posted password. Maybe they are realizing there's not a lot of value to it as almost all browser traffic is encrypted these days.
The AM radio tower that I know is near me has a short wooden fence close to the tower, and then a larger area surrounded by a high fence with barbed wire tops and warning signs.
>The provincial maximum on rent-controlled apartments last year was 2.5 per cent, but Sharpe’s building has no limit because Ontario Premier Doug Ford removed controls on any rental units built or occupied after November, 2018.
Rent control does still apply after a renovation, and the renter has the right to move back in after renovations are complete.
But of course this isn't practical for many people, as they'll need somewhere else to live, and the landlord can drag out the renovation as long as they want to. The landlord does have to give you 1-3 months rent, but if you're in a rent-controlled apartment, that may not cover your rent elsewhere. And of course some landlords aren't going to follow the rules, and many tenants don't know their rights.
Demolishing the apartment building and building a new one gets around this too, which is common when a small building is replaced with a large tower. The new building won't have rent control.
Yes, curl can resume partial downloads. You need to pass `-C -` to do so, which is a pretty good example of "the command line flags aren't easy to remember"
It's also yet another example of "could you please just do the right thing by default".
curl wants to be a swiss army knife, and so you'll need to configure everything just right so you don't accidentally get the bottle opener instead of the downloader. wget just downloads, and does it well.
Toggling Strava pauses to get nice straight lines is definitely a bit of a trick to make it nicer.
