A story of when abandoned tech gets assimilated for undesirable purposes. AKA when I inadvertently created a massive open spam proxy. (Although in fairness I can also now say that I have created a site that was creating literally thousands of hits per minute… which is pretty huge.) Excuses (Warning: […]
A while ago, I ‘eugh-ed’ over the steps required to get remote powershell working even in Windows. I think back then this would never have worked on macOS, but here we are, a little less than a year later, and I’ve for some reason got it working on macOS Big […]
A vaguely tech-related philosophical-ish thought-piece. Tedious irrelevant tech challenge #7582: I still buy music. On physical media. CD mainly.
