@xgranade @cthos @miss_rodent I caught my (LG) TV talking to 8.8.8.8 at one point, an address I hadn't told it about. So now all DNS leaving the network is DNATted to a Pi-hole instance I control. Not an option for most people, sadly.
DNSoHTTPS is going to be an utter bitch.
@hillu Interesting; I should have expected Apple to do something like that. https://eclecticlight.co/2021/05/08/explainer-unicode-normalization-and-apfs/ suggests it's actually HFS+ that did, and APFS doesn't, relying instead on some other layer. I'd be fascinated to see what happens if you try that sort of trick in Terminal.app, over NFS, and using the usual POSIX APIs in a small C program. I don't have a Mac to hand, unfortunately.
@hillu re '/': yes, hence the 'element name'. But I've never met a Unix filesystem which requires valid UTF-8 sequences, and this causes problems when your APIs can't process them cleanly; whether I like this or not doesn't really matter. Personally I hate spaces in object names as that causes problems all over the shop. But I have to deal with that.
Windows had a whole class of vulnerabilities around creating a C:\Program.exe at one point. I don't know if that was ever completely sorted.
@hillu Why not? '/' and '\0' are the only forbidden bytes in an element name; looks pretty stringy to me.
Not Unicode, no.
@davidgerard Ahha -- mine's Compact Flash, and nobody has readers for those...
@davidgerard Oh, sorry -- does gphoto2 (claim to) do that? I've never tried; thought you were talking about stills in that bit.
@davidgerard I have a 5D mk. 2 (2010 vintage) and it works well with gphoto2. You might find it just works.
Thing to be aware of, though: when the camera goes to sleep -- a minute or so after you last poked it -- it drops off the USB bus. Bloody annoying.
The kitten was purring, hard.
@arstechnica If it's not 'We don't use gen AI.', I'm going to be very disappointed.
@fesshole You are evil. I, too, do a reasonable amount of hotelling for work, and this would seriously piss me off.
