richij··on Ask HN: What to do about Gmail blocking my email?
Looking at your replies to previous suggestions, I'm gonna assume your previous messages weren't reported as spam, like you say. So why not try emailing people who use Gmail and Google Workplace (née GSuite/GApps/GAFYD) and asking them to find your message in Spam and mark as Not Spam?

I'll happily help. Email me at ST.CyberRabbi@richi.uk (temporary alias—will stop working after a few days). Then reply here, so I remember to go look for it.

richij··on NFT holders panic as wallets are drained; some blame smart contract from OpenSea
"The hacker is using a helper contract deployed 30 days ago, to call an OS contract deployed 4 years ago, with valid atomicMatch() data.

"Likely a signature phishing attack from several weeks back, the attacker is exploiting now before … these listing phishings will expire in six days, so the hacker is acting now to steal items listed on the V1 marketplace.

"This is not a generalized smart contract exploit, rather a latent phishing attack."

richij··on Why the hard drive is called C
It's not mandatory. You can tell Windows not to assign a letter to a new volume (but I wouldn't try to remove the assignment from C:). And you can mount new volumes under an empty directory, just like *nix.

The best place to do this is in the Disk Management app. The easiest way to access it is via the Win+X menu.

Good point. And I think you're one of many making it.

But there's no consensus on which browser would be best for people to migrate to. Firefox? Brave? DDG? Vivaldi? What do you think?
