Cool, as they now can fuzz Windows Defender and have Microsoft make it better so all Windows 8+ users can profit from it.

History repeating itself: [Archive.is] 31607 – C:\nul\nul crashes/BSOD then, now it’s this:

All versions prior to Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 seem vulnerable.
So add $MFT to this list:
The following device names have been known to render a system unstable: CON, NUL, AUX, PRN, CLOCK$, COMx, LPT1, and CONFIG$.
In short, Steven Sheldon created a rust package named nul which broke the complete package manager on Windows:
nul is not a valid name in windows 10, so cargo fails to update the registry, and then aborts whatever it was doing (building, searching, ect.).I think this project should be re-published to crates.io under a new name, something like null-strings perhaps?https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-indexBTW: one of my gripes on learning new languages is that they come with a whole new idiom of their ecosystem: rust, cargo, crates, all sound like being a truck mechanic to me.

If your DNS server isn’t close to you, it might select a CDN server that is far from you. If you rely on CDN, then you need to weight in that factor.
This is how I decide:

Zonder SMS is het vrij makkelijk om iemand anders zijn DigiD te gebruiken.
Met SMS is dat een stuk moeilijker.
Het forceren van SMS bij inloggen kan via https://mijn.digid.nl/inloggen_voorkeur
Je moet EERST inloggen op https://mijn.digid.nl/, en daarna naar https://mijn.digid.nl/inloggen_voorkeur gaan (DigiD is niet slim genoeg om na het inloggen daarheen terug te gaan).
Kies daar deze optie:
- Midden, ik wil inloggen met een extra controle via sms, ook wanneer Basis vereist is
