Do you download the cross-compiled executable via http or smb to the Windows machine? If so than it most likely got earmarked with a NTFS alternate data stream.

File Settings > This file come from another computer: Unblock

PowerShell > Unblock-File

Add your smb file share as trusted: Internet Properties > Security > Local Intranet > Sites

I hate it too that you need to sign software that you want to publish. Totally destroys the economics of little shareware type software.


If you poke it a little you will eventually get Java exceptions. Because the AI article is lying. It is not 60 year old code running on unchanged bare metal. Things got reimplemented over time.

Nowhere does TFA claim that SABRE or Amadeus or other similar systems are using 60 year old code.

There are some big brain companies who will block you if their name appears in the email address. Like Discord. You can create an account, with discrod@example.com. But a seconde later you will get an email that your account got band.

They know their way around IT security! /s


What you say is often true, but in the case of Discord, at least in my case, you are wrong. My Discord email address is discord@xxx.com, and I am still receiving emails from them.

It happend to me when i created my account in 2025. Within seconds of verifying the address I got a email that my account was band for TOS violation. I than created a seconds account (within minutes from the same IP) only writing "dc" instead of "discord" and that worked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Apparently they (unlike other entities I've dealt with) did not go back and review all of the existing, valid email addresses in their user database.

It's always an unpleasant surprise when some company terminates a years-old, active and valid account because of a stupid policy change on their part.


What is infuriating is that programmers that make 6 figures not knowing the diff between AppData\Local and \Roaming.

I'm the ass that gets the support call. I'm getting accused of delivering shit. I'm the guy that needs to write workaround scripts.


> Uninstalling an application would mean just deleting all the objects in its package. The files would be gone and any configuration settings with them.

Applications developers of the world. Please always make "keep configuration" an option with your uninstallers! I don't like the mobilification of PCs. For example, because of some issues, I wanted to try a different version of Thunderbird. I had the Snap version. Uninstalling it meant losing all its mails. I wasn't expecting that. Like at all!


I think it's a snap "feature".

For the longest time SharePoint's central volume could only go up to 4GB. Going above required to combine multiple volumes.

So having a limit of 64GB per file doesn't sound so bad.


At my "traditional" bank I even need the TAN generator for my phone. While at my "neo" bank I even need the phone app to access the website. :-) (That is how the neo bank tricked me. I read "website access" in their ad and thought I could still access the bank account if I lose my phone. But no, you can't login without the app.)


I like to implement independent mail systems. No SSO BS. IT enters the password into the mail client while setting up the laptop and phone. The boss can't be phished if he doesn't know his password (or if the password has no use on the internet).

I also like to put everything behind a VPN (again no SSO). But the bigger the company gets, sooner or later this will come to an end. Because it's not "best practice" to not be phishable. Apparently what is needed are layers and layers of BS "security" products that can be tricked by a kid that has heard of JS. https://browser.security


The source for the "private APIs" is the government run MTS-K.

It's 22 times a day, according to the Federal Cartel Office.

Here in western Australia, they must publish the price for the day by 2pm the day before, and cannot change it.

Definitely very different.
