A large number of threat intel RSS feeds for the security community. Includes service detects and updates, new vulnerabilities, updates, and bad actor IP address updates.
This is a community-run resource to help you fix access to the internet and the Windows Update service on earlier versions of Windows. Since Windows XP was discontinued in 2014, followed by Windows 7 in 2020, Microsoft has closed services they depend on, such as Windows Update. There are also design flaws with these earlier versions of Windows Update, which make them difficult to get working on new installations.
Legacy Update can install all relevant updates necessary to fix access to the Windows Update service on unsupported versions of Windows. These versions of Windows may display the error “Windows could not search for new updates: Windows Update encountered an unknown error” with error code 80072EFE, or may simply never finish checking for updates. Legacy Update identifies the updates your system lacks, and installs them automatically, restoring the Windows Update service to full functionality.
Windows Update provides many optional and recommended updates, in addition to drivers for your system, but Windows XP and 2000 can only install critical security updates through the built-in Automatic Updates feature. Legacy Update revives the original Windows Update website - the only way to see and install every update available for your system. Legacy Update also restores access to Windows Ultimate Extras on Windows Vista Ultimate.
Legacy Update also restores connectivity to some websites in Internet Explorer, and other programs that use the Windows built-in networking functionality. This includes Windows Product Activation on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, allowing you to activate these versions of Windows online in seconds (a legitimate product key is still required).
Just want to appreciate the nostalgia of the classic Windows Update website? Legacy Update can also be installed on Windows 10 and 11. This works even on versions of these OSes that have removed Internet Explorer. Legacy Update won’t modify your Windows 10 or 11 installation.
It's hard to find good information on APRS. A web search produces mostly outdated misinformation and little of value. This is the beginning of a collection of the essential documentation.
Club meetings and ham conventions are always looking for speakers. There was nothing about APRS during the 2024 Dayton forums. Suppose you wanted to give an APRS presentation at a club meeting or ham convention. But... It's a big job. You are not sure where to start and would like to use / adapt something already done rather than starting from nothing. Where can you find suitable presentations? I’ve tried searching and could not find much that was worthwhile. I’m throwing this out as a challenge to the APRS community. Please help to make a list of the best presentations that others could use.
There is some very good material out there, but how can the newcomer find it among all the clutter? This is a crowd-sourced list of the best resources for a beginner. I need YOUR help to find the best resources.
Are you ready to travel through space and time to see the wonders and dangers that the universe has to offer? Visit distant alien civilisations, or travel to the distant past, or explore the future. Prevent sinister forces from conquering the universe or meddling with time. All this and more is available within the FASA Doctor Who RPG.
I plan to update the 1985 FASA Doctor Who rules to include the current series. I also plan to include various house rules, new NPC write-ups (from both old and new Doctor Who), and eventually original adventures. Check the Vortex Links for some great Doctor Who/Doctor Who RPG related links.
MOPUp is the macOS Python.org Updater.
If you prefer to use the binary installers from python.org, it's easy to forget to update them. This is a program that does that; it updates them. Just pip install mopup into a virtualenv using the Python you are using, run mopup and provide your password when required.
Normally, it does this using a CLI in the background, but if you'd prefer, you can run it with --interactive for it to launch the usual macOS GUI Installer app.
IndexNow is an easy way for websites owners to instantly inform search engines about latest content changes on their website. In its simplest form, IndexNow is a simple ping so that search engines know that a URL and its content has been added, updated, or deleted, allowing search engines to quickly reflect this change in their search results.
Without IndexNow, it can take days to weeks for search engines to discover that the content has changed, as search engines don’t crawl every URL often. With IndexNow, search engines know immediately the "URLs that have changed, helping them prioritize crawl for these URLs and thereby limiting organic crawling to discover new content."
IndexNow is offered under the terms of the Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons License and has support from Microsoft Bing, Naver, Seznam.cz, Yandex, Yep.
IndexNow-enabled search engines shares immediately all URLs submitted to all other IndexNow-enabled search engines, so you just need to notify one endpoint.
