Any favorite methods for transferring files from PCs?-ewemoa (June 10, 2014, 10:27 PM)
I was going to download them all just for kicks and giggles but both of the "download all" buttons resulted in HTTP 500 Errors and I'm too lazy to bother downloading them manually.

@4wd: Would you still recommend that:...You can run a Low Level Format a couple of times to see if the sectors get remapped, (what I usually do when a HDD starts getting flakey), or use something like MHDD. Fill up the HDD with big files a few times, at some point it may trigger the remap if the sector gets hit enough times and produces errors.Is that worth the time/effort, especially when the disk is no longer necessarily reliable?

I am asking because one of my drives got it's first #187 on 2016-06-06 and a second one on 2017-07-10, with a warning that the hard disk status had "degraded", yet it still says its Performance and Health are 100%.
I actually got such Yubikey 4 from a colleague who won a dozen or so at a security conference a while back, with the intent of doing something useful with it and reporting that back to him. I'm still thinking about what to use it for-Ath (July 15, 2017, 03:08 PM)
I actually use Skype for calling landlines. There is a very cheap subscription (cca 10 EUR per month) with which you can call most of the landlines in the world for free.-Attronarch (July 13, 2017, 07:15 AM)
You can call landlines for free using Google Voice + Hangouts, but that may be limited to USA (and surrounding countries?), so your experience may vary. That is, I know you can also call other countries with Google Voice, but it costs money to do so. And I'm not sure how much of that is because that's how the service is for everyone, everywhere, or that's just the rates/services for me as a US resident.-Deozaan (July 13, 2017, 07:41 PM)
Towards the icebreaker "Mikhail Gromov" is moving a huge iceberg. Leaving from collision, the ship falls into the ice trap and is forced to drift near the coast of Antarctica. Around it only an ominous silence and a bitter cold. Fuel is running out - Nerves on edge - And even if it would be possible to go, nowhere to go anyway.
Before, you had to enable some advanced and somewhat hidden features within Windows 10 to enable the Linux shell. Now it's as easy as joining the Insider program and clicking install from the Windows Store.-Deozaan (July 11, 2017, 04:58 PM)
This is just a different way to get the Windows Subsystem for Linux that was available after the Anniversary Update, isn't it?
No special requirements other than Anniversary Update and 64bit - that's all I had when I installed it.-4wd (July 13, 2017, 04:52 AM)
That's what the text of those big pictures say above.

I know there are plenty of alternatives for various Skype aspects like audio and video calls, but there aren't any direct alternatives with same set of features. At least I don't know of any.-Attronarch (July 13, 2017, 07:15 AM)

So if it were that important, I could have just bought a prepaid "burner phone" for 1 month and used it to activate my account and then never top off that phone account again.-Deozaan (July 13, 2017, 02:14 AM)
Did threads just get merged or have I been into the cider too much?-4wd (July 09, 2017, 03:35 PM)

thanks, but that stackoverflow thread is a mess-kalos (July 09, 2017, 09:14 AM)
Based on the manual page:
# Log in to the server. This can be done only once.
wget --save-cookies cookies.txt \
--keep-session-cookies \
--post-data 'user=foo&password=bar' \
--delete-after \
http://server.com/auth.php
# Now grab the page or pages we care about.
wget --load-cookies cookies.txt \
http://server.com/in...eresting/article.php
I had the same problem. My solution was to do the login via Chrome and save the cookies data to a textfile. This is easily done with this Chrome extention: Chrome cookie.txt export extension.
When you get the cookies data, there is also an example on how to use them with wget. A simple copy-paste command line is provided to you.
