Yeah this is a TIL for me. I didn’t realize they were separated out. It makes sense, though I grant I’ve never taken a close look at these files.

Yeah, seems highly unlikely to ever yield any results. Even if you did manage to read a file, you have to get lucky finding a password hash in a rainbow table or the password being shit enough to crack.

Holy shit this is kind of unsettling. Though I would expect ALL major browsers to reject reading any local files like this… would this kind of thing actually succeed somewhere/somehow?

Thanks for the prompt reply!!

Things didn’t immediately work, but if you had genuinely changed something I know DNS can take some time for things to trickle down as caches/TTLs expire etc etc etc.

I’m happy to report things appear to be working normally this morning. I’m glad this was just a transition hiccup and not an outright misconfiguration!

Thanks so much for all your hard work keeping this thing running for us!

Before I even clicked the link, I was hoping it would lead to Ben Eater’s video! I’ve gone through many tutorials/guides/videos on the subject of USB, and this video is the only one which really broke it down and presented it in a comprehensible manner.

I highly recommend all of his content if you are interested in electronics at all.
