I’m not Canadian, but as a Brit I also say Zed instead of Zee but I’ve never heard someone say Zed instead of Zero. WTF.

It was handy until I realised it installs to the user profile instead of system-wide. Reverted to chocolatey.
regularise users to a proprietary intermediary management system.
I don’t understand what this means.
allywilson@sopuli.xyzto Technology@beehaw.org•"Open Source Windows" ReactOS just got better GUI install setup, no GPT yet22·1 year agoI’ve actually thought for a while now that a big software company should come out and say they support ReactOS for whatever their product is and advertise it like “Full, Oracle 23c DB support on ReactOS - but without the Microsoft tax.”
Yes, that’s not realistic between Oracle and MS, but it would be such a boon to ReactOS.

I use Windoze for work so I’ve swapped @ and " to be the same as Apple UK, and if I run Linux I choose the Apple UK layout as well. It’s just…easier rather than having to reset my muscle memory every day.
allywilson@sopuli.xyztoGeneral Programming Discussion@lemmy.ml•Help with API design for price pegging with JWT1·1 year agoI don’t really have an answer for you here, but isn’t having the expiry pointless now if you’re going to honour an elapsed token?
The argument has become “if price X mins ago is equal to price now, honour it” - so it could have expired 10 mins ago, or 10 days ago, etc. and you’d still be honouring it, right?
So, why have an expiry at all in this scenario? The question should become, if we’re going to honour it after 5 mins, will we honour it at 10 mins? 100 days? Which? A cut off needs to be defined.

Why? Just because Windows uses can’t.

The OS hasn’t been ‘copped’. They emulated the protocol, and your lack of understanding and confusing the two has led us to having this conversation.

- Client browser logs in with their IPA creds + OTP.
- Browser generates key pair and CSR (all stored in session storage)

- Browser combines new certificate with CA cert and the private key into the OpenVPN profile.
- Browser downloads the OpenVPN profile file.
