| N 13:32 | Tcpdump notes diffhist +10,083 Helpful talk contribs (Created page with " {{notes}} TCPdump snoops network traffic going getting to the host it runs on. It can also filter what packets it shows/writes. It can summarize the traffic on-screen (the default) or write it to the fairly common pcap-style files. The 'tcp' in the name is misleading, because it suggests it captures at the network layer, and then specifically TCP. Actually, it captures at link layer, so you can get at a lot of interesting stuff. Wireshark (previously Ethereal)...") | ||||

| N 17:52 | ZIP disk diffhist +2,213 Helpful talk contribs (Created page with "<!-- The zip disk is an oddity. I remember thinking it a weird concept even when it was new. It's a drive with sturdy 100MB cartridges. The drive was typically external and connected via a parallel port which meant no extra hardware necessary (there were also SCSI and IDE options). Speed order of ~1MByte/s for parallel (the easiest option), to 5MByte/s for the others{{verify}} Which was pretty good at the time. For context, : 5.25" floppies were still in servi...") | ||||

What you giv...") | ||||

So authorization of access, in a specific way. And not authentication. It does not handle or federate identity (like OpenID and SAML). You don't need to have authentication be part of the process at all. : ...there are situations that would be an obvious thing to add : ...there are situations that is already handled, or not necessary '''What it's meant to allow''' You...") | ||||

| N 15:30 | Hoisting diffhist +598 Helpful talk contribs (Created page with "{{#addbodyclass:tag_tech}} {{#addbodyclass:tag_prog}} {{programming}} hoisting means things within a scope are moved up. It's a term related to compilation execution, because it means a block is parsed completely before it starts running it, and the exact ordering doesn't matter. In JS, declarations (variable declarations and function declarations) are hoisted, meaning you can use them. A potentially confusing thing is that depending on the language, declaration...") | ||||

| N 23:40 | USB host shield diffhist +953 Helpful talk contribs (Created page with "<!-- The Arduino USB host shield is based on the MAX3421E, which is controlled via SPI, (and has some general-purpose input and output pins, exposed so that you can use them) The MAX3421E is 3.3V device, as the USB data lines are 3.3V differential. I'm guessing the buffer chips on the board make it tolerate 5V. USB's voltage lines are 5V. : Self-powered devices barely care about these lines, meaning you can get away wiring VBus to 3.3V. : For bus-powered devices yo...") | ||||
