This is exactly why public organizations should never be reliant on proprietary platforms. If those tools ran in Linux, the solution would be simple: burn some live CDs. Now anyone with a machine that has software more up to date than this SoftTest can handle just needs to reboot to a school-provided live CD. I don't think I'd have much of a problem doing that if I could prevent that bit of proprietary crap from mucking up my laptop. Sadly I don't think that option is readily available (or cost effective) for windows or mac.

The REST purist in me would advise against GET requests for executing actions. Not sure how I'd design the actionable namespace though; not a lot of experience there I'm afraid. But perhaps a POST of "cmd=stop" to "hxxp://$host:$port/docker/container/$containerId".

That's where Fernflower comes in; it deobfuscates the minecraft class files for forge and the modders. If the compiled minecraft jar were to "move enough bytecode" to Java 9 (that's a very inaccurate way to put it, but just for the sake of argument), and Fernflower were to be abandoned before then, it would be extremely difficult for forge and MCP to be updated, let alone all the mods themselves.

while true, the nice thing about the diceware wordlists is you can scan them. The only thing that would lower the entropy is if there were duplicated words. The lists are in alphabetic and numeric order.
