10 years after the publication of the [WayBack] Top 25 Most Dangerous Programming Mistakes, the list for me is still the same.
You can see this from the CWE/SANS revisions: 1.0 in 2009 until 1.0.3 in 2011: not much changed.

Interesting library with ditto command-line tools: [Wayback/Archive] oath-toolkit / oath-toolkit · GitLab.
It allows you to perform all sorts of OAUTH operations from your code or terminal window including generation and verification of OAUTH tokens through [WayBack] OATHTOOL.
Which allows you to do TOTP “zero fucktor” authentication. [WayBack/Archive] Zero Fucktor Authentication – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+: [WayBack] Zero Factor Authentication – The Isoblog.
The project has it’s home at [WayBack] OATH Toolkit, but the repository has done some traveling and for now ended up at GitLab: [Wayback/Archive] oath-toolkit / oath-toolkit together with the web-site source [Wayback/Archive] oath-toolkit / website.

Interesting thought [WayBack] In windows, can I redirect stdout to a (named) pipe in command line? – Super User.
The only problem seems to be a good way of creating/removing those pipes.

The TCP BBR congestion control algorithm was introduced in September 2016 and became available in Linux kernel 4.9 in July 2017 after being in the news for a good 5 months (see links below). It strives for better bandwidth use and lowering latency on big data pipes.
This post is a reminder myself to see how widespread that is on recent distributions for both end-user and server systems.

So, not such a long wait after all. :-)

Another follow up on Life after Google+ – Lars Fosdal:
[WayBack] GitHub – RomainVialard/Google-Plus-Community-Migrator
This repository presents a way to export posts from a Google+ community (in this case the Google Apps Script community), along with comments & likes (plusones) using the Google+ REST API and import them in a Firebase Database, then use Firebase Hosting to display those posts. To see a live result, simply open this URL: https://apps-script-community-archive.firebaseapp.com/
It depends on the G+ REST API (so it will die earlier than G+ itself) and hosts on Google.

For a long time, sites have been able to add themselves to the search engine list in Google Chrome.
The last one is my own, but hundreds of them are not.
I never noticed this until I needed to add some custom search engine strings to the list and found the UI is obnoxiously slow when there are hundreds of entries in that list.
It’s like the cookies editor: the editing speed decreases exponentially with the number of entries in that list.
The feature is called Tab to Search, apparently is intentional, based on the OpenSearch standard and well documented:
Many people dislike it though:
There are various ways around it documented in the last link.
This is the one I liked best: [WayBack] Don’t add custom search engines – Chrome Web Store.
Via: [WayBack] Google Chrome: Remove all ‘Other Search Engines’ – Super User who also pointed me to the script below the signature ([WayBack] Remove chrome “other search engines” · GitHub), which likely needs this change:
Just in case you are trying to use this with the (keep) mechanism, I think that the engine.modelIndex can get muddled if you do not refresh between runs of this script, possibly deleting engines you wish to keep. UPDATE: if you reverse sort by modelIndex, this problem is obviated.
Add
val.others.sort(function (a, b) { return b.modelIndex - a.modelIndex; });just after the
.then.
