That Wikipedia quote is correct, yet somewhat wrong or at the very least misleading. A key term to understand is the window size (sometimes called the block size) of a data compression flow. By n...
Windows 10 version 21H1 added a weather report to the task bar, next to the system tray area. Since I can just look out the window instead and get accurate, up-to-the-second weather information, I...
Questions that specifically seek software recommendations (as opposed to asking how to accomplish a specified task) come with their own challenges that are to some extent different from those of ot...
Fault isolation You need to take some basic steps to isolate where the problem actually lies. So far, it seems that you have tried with: one means of connecting to the Internet (presumably you...
I'm posting the same answer on both sites, because the questions are basically the same. Personally, I am in favor of merging Linux Systems Codidact and Power Users Codidact, ideally by transferri...
I suspect that the camera is presenting itself as a USB PTP or MTP device. The fact that it is identified as a camera and not as a storage device certainly points in this direction. A quick check ...
is it common to set firewall rules for ports to transfer data in only one direction (only inwards with incoming data or only outwards with outgoing data)? No. At least not strictly as stated....
You certainly can use Wireshark to look for DNS traffic. First off, because of caching, I strongly recommend that you reboot the computer, and as quickly as possible start Wireshark, start monitor...
I think to some extent, you actually answered your own question, possibly without realizing it. A URL is a specialization of a URI. (Or more technically accurate, a URI is a generalization of a UR...
Your phone appears to be telling the truth in stating that there are no updates available for it. Mapping that fact to a statement that "your phone is up to date" in the message title is perhaps u...
Determining the encoding of binary data representing text is a notoriously difficult problem, which basically comes down to probabilities. UTF-8 is one of the few exceptions that I know of, becaus...
Well, it really depends on what you mean by a "web" server. If you mean a piece of software that implements the protocols typically used for (the server aspects of) web browsing, such as HTTP, TLS...
A typical DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service; which is a subtype of the broader class of Denial of Service attacks) will simply flood a host, or its network connection, with data. It's not uncommo...
As already stated, of course it's possible to do a redirection in the front end by telling the browser to request a different URL. Using Javascript is one possible method (some companies apparently...
[Comcast] said normally small businesses get a plan from a second internet provider, for example AT&T, to reduce the chances of the internet going down. I am wondering if that is actually the...
You can pause updates for a while, which should be good enough for your use case. The following looks like it'll work on at least Windows 10 21H1 Pro. Go into Settings -> Windows Update, and se...
I don't have a ready answer to the question in the title, but with regards to The plan was to disable the MariaDB service so that no new writes to the database can be made (that have a risk of n...
I have a moderately large ISO image (>5 GB)[1] to which I want to add a single file[2], and I want to do that on Linux (preferably using only software which is available in Debian's main and con...
You don't show enough of the document structure in the question to provide a fully fleshed-out example, but since it appears that you're now able to block based on CSS selectors and simply need hel...
Some questions, like my own In Windows 10 21H1, how do I remove the weather report in the task bar?, are specific to a given version of a product. Other questions are more generic, or apply to prod...
Okay, this is driving me nuts with modern UIs. Back in the old days, it was easy: Checkboxes were either checked, crossed, starred, filled in, or whatever glyph the particular environment used for...
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Greasemonkey will let you do this, at least not directly. Per GreaseSpot's description of @run-at document-start, that value maps to when document.readyState ==...
Based on Datenstrom - Troubleshooting, it looks like to turn on debugging, you need to edit system/extensions/core.php such that it says <?php define("DEBUG", 1); (The <?php may or may no...
It does look like you have a syntax error in the JSON data. Specifically, you have a comma after the last element of a list on line 11: "from": { "key_code": "delete_or_backspace", <---- he...
I assumed that RStudio would get the path from somewhere, rather than it being hardcoded, and based on the response in a comment thread, that somewhere is RSTUDIO_PANDOC in .Rprofile. So you shoul...
