  1. Depends. If you have a link such as: https://www.example.com/article?id=1234&uid=19182737774902&[.......] The id is the article identifier, which is an essential argument to the script, so it cannot be removed. So after deletion, the new link will look like: https://www.example.com/article?id=1234 If you have a link such as: https://www.example.com/article/1234?uid=19182737774902&[.......] The id of the article is integrated with path part (which might be just an illusion given by rewrite-engine) So after deletion, the new link will look like: https://www.example.com/article/1234 Should be okay. After clearing the URI/query-string portion before sharing, try the new URI string in a private browser session to see if the link still works.
  2. Part after "?" is called query-string. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_string ...if you received an "interesting link that you want to share with someone".... you should ALWAYS remove tracking data from the query-string, whether you send it to a family member by mail, text message, or provide it on a forum in raw form or shortened by URL shorteners.
  3. ?? You're thinking about query-string arguments? Domain A (e.g. the JS script hosted on it) creates cookie/supercookie if it is not present ("session id"). Website X uses the code from domain A (cookie/supercookie is set to initial value). X has link to Y. The user goes from X to Y (a reference URL is sent with it, so Y knows who referred it). Website Y does not use the code from domain A. The user goes from Y to Z (a reference URL is sent with it). Website Z uses the code from domain A (cookie/supercookie is already sent). "A" knows that you visited X, Z directly from analyze of the logs.. because the same cookie/supercookie is found..
  4. Worth a try: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1720244/create-new-user-in-mysql-and-give-it-full-access-to-one-database i.e. create a new user and give privileges (if you haven't already done so).
  5. Copy it into a text editor that allows horizontal scrolling, and you'll see it's not garbage. I am working on Windows and using XAMPP. The differences between what I have here and what you have are small. I have a "Password" column that is blank in all rows, which is not in your log... I have multiple "root" user accounts, each for IPv4 and IPv6, either by name or directly by IP number. Have you tried the phpmyadmin from a web browser? Different MySQL versions can behave slightly differently. So if I were you, I would try inserting a password column in mysqladmin/phpmyadmin, and then duplicate the row to have IPv6 support as well, just in case. Just like in my screenshot above.
  6. What you get when you use: select * from mysql.user; ? Has this ever worked with Python, or is this your first time using MySQL with your own Python code? BTW, careful with "localhost". "localhost" on machines with enabled IPv6 can mean ::1, otherwise 127.0.0.1 e.g. if I in command-line use ping localhost, I see it resolves to ::1 Windows firewall checked/disabled?
  7. ..but it is very easy to solve.. simply all people on the entire planet must stop using money (in any form).. Apart from physical limits, availability of money prevents scientists, engineers, workers, anybody from doing something.. NASA engineers after shutdown of Apollo program did not "forget" how to build rockets. The US government cut them from money, and dismissed high-level knowledgeable and sent them home, have to go to work in the private sector, below their abilities. If you have "economy" without money, you can build solar panels at any quantity, limited just by speed of getting rare chemical elements from mines required to build them. In a "classic", i.e. today's economy, if people won't buy e.g. solar panels by themselves, they won't have them (there is need one of on each building or so).. Some Western countries governments are trying to speed this up by giving refunds (fixed amount, 25%, 50%, 100%) for buying devices producing renewable energy, but it's a huge bureaucracy, and method of stealing money before it gets to the average Joe Doe, and the refund is given after the device is already on the building, so people still have to have that money up front)... So basically, if someone isn't rich, someone isn't eco-friendly, they'll just skip the crap offer from the government.. Governments should "own" the solar panel manufacturers, installation companies, etc., otherwise when demand for the product increases, the private sector will simply raise the price for the product and installation costs (basically sucking up all the tax money).
  8. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millerovo_air_base_attack @zapatos
  9. Due to the war, these countries may experience food problems in just a few months: https://www.voanews.com/a/ukraine-war-to-compound-hunger-poverty-in-africa-experts-say/6492430.html "Experts warn the war in Ukraine could increase hunger and food insecurity for some people in Africa. Most African countries import wheat and vegetable oil from Ukraine and Russia, a region now engulfed in conflict since Russia invaded its neighbor." "The United Nations says Russia and Ukraine produce 53% of the world’s sunflowers and seeds, and 27% of the world’s wheat." "The study shows at least 25 African countries import a third of their wheat from Russia and Ukraine, and 15 of them import more than half from those two countries." https://www.gonewsindia.com/latest-news/international/african-arab-countries-food-dependence-on-russia-ukraine-28571
  10. If it is not for numerology, but to check integrity (e.g. if somebody altered content) why not to use hash? On Windows there is built-in certutil command which can calculate MD5, SHA1, SHA256 hash-functions. https://www.google.com/search?q=certutil+hashfile https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2 If you calculate hash-function of some word, sentence, file or entire disk, you can be pretty sure to 99.99% when you see the same hash, it's the same object. echo "string" | sha256sum on Linux will give you hash of string, instead of a file. Hackers/programmers/people use it to check if someone has broken into their computers by running it in Linux on all storage: https://www.google.com/search?q=md5sum+linux https://www.google.com/search?q=md5sum+linux+entire+directory If you want to know if someone has changed the MBR of your Linux system you are using e.g. dd if=/dev/sda iflag=direct bs=512 count=1 2>/dev/null | sha256sum To verify the entire first partition of the first disk: dd if=/dev/sda0 iflag=direct bs=16M 2>/dev/null | sha256sum If it is so simple algorithm as you wrote, you will get the same sum after letters are replaced.. "abc" will give the same as "cab"..
  11. ..the war between the Nazi Germany and USSR was started just to get oil and gas from the oil fields and other resources.. the things Nazi Germany badly needed.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi–Soviet_economic_relations_(1934–1941)#Late_1930s_German_raw_materials_crunch "Germany lacked oil and could only supply 25% of its own needs.[1] Since its main supplier, the United States, would be potentially cut off during a war, Germany had to look to Soviet Union and Romania.[1] Germany suffered from the same supply problems for metal ores such as chrome, tungsten, nickel, molybdenum, and manganese, all of which were needed for hardened steel used in tanks, ships and other war equipment.[1] For example, Germany was almost 100% reliant on imports for chrome, and the loss of South African and Turkish imports alone were a blockade to arise would eliminate 80% of imports.[69] Even for manganese, of which Germany supplied 40% of its needs, the expected British blockade would cut its link to its main outside supplier, South Africa.[1] Germany was 35% self-sufficient for iron ore, but would lose 36% of its previous imported supply on the outbreak of war.[69] Furthermore, Stalin's permission was needed to transit tungsten and molybdenum from China, which required Soviet-controlled rail lines.[1] Meanwhile, the Soviet Union was the world's largest source of manganese, the second largest for chrome and platinum and the third largest supplier of crude oil, iron ore and nickel.[69]" To remove dependency, and after they saw how weak the USSR army was, after the disastrous winter war with Finland ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War ) Nazi attacked USSR. A.H.'s inexperience was revealed at Stalingrad (disallowed retreat), and the USSR army took more than 200,000 soldiers in an encirclement ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Stalingrad#Casualties ). It was a watershed moment in World War II. European dependency map per country: ..and this is how it all started: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignacy_Łukasiewicz Ignacy Łukasiewicz: "His achievements included the discovery of how to distill kerosene from seep oil, the invention of the modern kerosene lamp (1853), the introduction of the first modern street lamp in Europe (1853), and the construction of the world's first modern oil well (1854)."
  12. Astronauts, airplane pilots, counter-terrorists, Formula One drivers, army officers, etc. - all have to learn.... the modern way (after 1990) is to play computer games with simulated battles, simulated hostage rescue in Counter-Strike, simulated airplane flight, and so on.. The longer people train, the better experience they have in a subject they train. If they make a mistake, the simulated plane crashes instead of the real one. If an army officer loses a war in a simulated game, he gains knowledge, experience, can learn from what was done incorrectly.. Hours, hundreds hours, thousands hours, of experience that people from the old ages were not able to get in their lifetime.. If you make a mistake, you learn from what you did wrong and start over so you have a chance to not repeat it again... You gain experience, which is impossible to gain in the real world.. because you're dead.. Turn-based strategy is completely different than RTS.. A typical RTS has a fairly advanced economy, i.e. you have forest, quarry, iron/silver/gold mines, you need wood to build houses (at the beginning of the play), you need stone to build houses (a more advanced one or walls), you need iron to build a bridge, tank or airplane, etc. etc. People need to eat, so there are farmers, cows, pigs, etc. Multiply that by a thousand to get a true picture of the complexity of any modern RTS.. and yes, simulated RTS units also have morale, for at least 25 years.. (In one of my favorite RTSs from 20 years ago, hops were needed to make beer, which when distributed to people raised the morale of the population ) Do you really not see the similarity of generals surrounding a dictator, planning their next moves, on a map with little figures representing them and enemy units? (apart from humanitarian aspects, complexity and unexpected influences e.g. help from 3rd party side) ..if reconnaissance of enemy forces is working (in the time of satellites, it should be top-notch), they know in advance when they are sending soldiers to their deaths in a suicidal mission and a pointless move that cannot succeed.. Their units are just little figures on a map (or arrows).. In an RTS, you have immediate feedback from the opponent or from the A.I., which behaves accordingly to the force set in the options. The officers of the Russian army behave as if they had no basic experience. Officers received their ranks not on the basis of their experience on the battlefields, but because of their subordination to the V.P..
  13. Attack on the civilians is plain stupid. From militarian, economical and humanitian point of view. Bombing tank's factory prevents them from appearing on the battle field. Bombing city creates more enemies who demand retaliation. That's how US lost the all wars in the last 50 years or so.. Every day created more opponents ("terrorists"/"rebeliants") than decrease their quantity..
  14. From humanitarian point-of-view, I absolutely agree with you @swansont but.. but... any 15-17 years+ old guy who played thousands of hours of RTS (Real-Time Strategy) would tell you what should be done, and why.. such 15 years old ("newbie") has more experience than 70+ years old "true general", "in true world", especially from USSR... simply, teenager, won more battles, lost more battles, and gained more experience, than true, real general.. Simulated wars, but it does not matter.. (an astronaut also has thousands of hours of simulated flights in cosmos, and only a few real ones). The Russians have no clue what is going on! You (and I) are reading about the war! Every... day... They don't! They are fed bullshit from their newspapers to the point that if a family member calls them and tells them what is going on in the world, they will say "they are lying" (i.e. family members, not the media)..
  15. Every time missiles are sent to Kiev, Mariupol, Odessa, etc., one missile should be sent to Moscow, St.Parkersburg etc... God approves this message... temporarily... (temporary adherence to the Old Testament until the mass murderer Antichrist Putin dies)....
  16. https://www.instagram.com/p/CbVk4t4IEGi/ A request for a restart? Most of the people who know me are begging not to restart...
  17. The everything is IT, if you don't realize (typical for A.I.)... Elon wants to fight one-to-one with V.P.: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/elon-musk-elona-twitter-putin-chechen-b2036841.html and Russian's government reply was: https://www.forbes.com/sites/sergeiklebnikov/2022/03/14/musk-challenges-putin-to-single-combat-over-ukraine-russian-official-calls-him-a-little-devil/ "You, little devil, are still young, You are weak to compete with me; it would only be a waste of time. Overtake my brother first," added Mr Rogozin. ...and then God comes into them... Is it not IT... ? For me it is IT..
  18. You are so funny guy.. you must be popular in your pub.. The cell phone updates when the device is connected via WiFi, and then the device assumes it is an Ethernet connection, so it can download as much data as it wants... annoying.. Don't connect your cell phone to WiFi -> you won't get any updates.. Connect your cell to a "free hotspot" and you can get updates you don't want... "Free hotspots" are honeypots for complete idiots (update from unreliable/unknown source) Do you trust updates from your own home Wifi networks.. ? Seriously.. ?
  19. If the manufacturer hasn't provided a remote reading capability, you can 1) dismount the device and find the components on the circuit that give you the data you need 2) place a camera (WiFi? remote?) over the device and use OCR software to read the digits..
  20. In conversations with their mothers, the captives complained that officers took away their cell phones just before they entered Ukraine. However, this does not prevent them from robbing Ukrainian civilians. This is how Russian generals were identified and killed.... So far they have lost 4 generals and 1 Chechen general. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60767664 They have lost secure connectivity and have to use the usual cell phone infrastructure to give orders. The Pegasus exploit has been known since 2021. This article is from 2015-2016.
  21. The phones were under surveillance. Now it's much more advanced. A user's phone can be remotely turned to microphone on demand when not in use by user. For example, my device is able to detect what is being said from 15 meters away (from the balcony to the kitchen). The location of the cell phone can be tracked the all day long with an accuracy of 20-50 meters, depending on how close the cell-towers are. The modern cell-phones without removable batteries makes it even easier.. I would never get an iPhone and use it as my primary device. It's just plain stupid. They have glued accumulators. Not to mention Pegasus If you don't have iOS 14.8 (released Sep'21) or preferably iOS 15.x (released Sep'21) (where Pegasus's exploit was fixed better than in iOS 14.8, which is still vulnerable if you click a link to hacker's website or get document), my advice is: destroy it (don't sell, don't give your family member - unless you want to hackers steal their money from the bank account or similar pleasures, never ever sell (any mobile) to unknown 3rd party!). Let it use up all the battery power and put it away in the garage, where nobody will find it accidentally and use it without any idea what he or she is doing..
  22. Job for today (for intelligence): 1) identify the cell phones of the boys in the above convoy 2) identify their names 3) call their families 4) call them... the last time.. while they're still alive... Before they are used to attack Ukraine.. 5) destroy the bridge..
  23. The occupation of South Ossetia ("Georgia") by Russian troops ends: ...soon to be seen from a drone and satellites....
  24. Scientific theory is not the same as non-scientific theory.. Read an article on this topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_theory
  25. Not really.. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2022/03/15/russia-talks-with-ukraine-only-for-show-says-former-foreign-minister Andrei Kozyrev ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Kozyrev ) : "Russia talks with Ukraine 'only for show', says former [Russia] foreign minister" When they talked in 2014, they occupied the Ukrainian lands of Donetsk and Luhansk. The ceasefire was used to replace tired soldiers, provide new personnel, new weapons, supply, fuel, food, etc. and overall victory.. Again, the bridge connecting Crimea to the mainland must be destroyed ASAP. Crimea has no access to fresh drinkable water. It receives it from Ukraine. Destruction of the water supply will put Crimea (and the army stationed and attacking from it) in disastrous troubles.. This should have been done two weeks ago. The southern front would have collapsed.
