Microsoft closes another loophole to enable local accounts in Windows 11
It seems like Microsoft is continuing its quest to force Windows users to use Microsoft accounts instead of local accounts, despite the fact Microsoft accounts on Windows are half-baked and potentially incredibly dangerous. In the most recent Windows 11 Insider Preview Build (26220.6772), the company has closed a few more loopholes people were using to trick the Windows installer into al ⌠â Read more

This probably means that I can no longer host my own website. I donât want to deploy something like Anubis, because that ruins the whole thing: I want it to be accessible from ancient browsers, like OS/2 or Windows 3.11.

18 rules of Software Engineering
- You will regret complexity when on-call
- Stop falling in love with your own code
- Everything is a trade-off. Thereâs no âbestâ 3. Every line of code you write is a liability 4. Document your decisions and designs
- Everyone hates code they didnât write
- Donât use unnecessary dependencies
- Coding standards prevent arguments
- Write meaningful commit messages
- Donât ever stop learning new things
- Code reviews spread knowledge
- Always build for maintainability
- Ask for help when youâre stuck
- Fix root causes, not symptoms
- Software is never completed
- Estimates are not promises
- Ship early, iterate often
- Keep. It. Simple.
Solid list, even though 14 is up for debate in my opinion: Software can be completed. You have a use case / problem, you solve that problem, done. Your software is completed now. There might still be bugs and they should be fixed â but this doesnât âaddâ to the program. Donât use âsoftware is never doneâ as an excuse to keep adding and adding stuff to your code.

** More stink **
I read A Court of Throne and Roses this weekend. Not my usual fare but what the heck it was there so I read it. I found it to be an unremarkable, relatively conservative romantasy.
What stood out to me, though, is that everyone is so stinky. The main character is always describing how folks smell, smelling them before they round a corner and stuff. Even if they donât like smell bad, this setting seems overwhelming perfumed. â Read more

And on a similar note, cross-post from Mastodon:
What I love about HTML and HTTP is that it can degrade rather gracefully on old browsers.
My website isnât spectacular but I donât think it looks horrible, either. And itâs still usable just fine all the way down to WfW 3.11:
Itâs not perfect, but itâs usable. And that makes me happy. Almost 30 years of compatibilty.
The biggest sacrifice is probably that I donât enforce TLS and that HTTP 1.0 has no Host: header, so no vhosts (or rather, everything must come from the default vhost). (Yes, some old browsers send Host:, even though they predate HTTP 1.1. Netscape does, but not IBM WebExplorer, for example.)
(On the other hand, it might completely suck on modern mobile devices. Dunno, I barely use those. đ¤Ş)
