If you're a felon, you typically can't get traditional employment. For most people, it's a shorter jump to "criminal" than "consultant".

I moved from San Francisco to South Florida as an experiment in being fully remote. It's been pretty good so far, but if I was looking for another job, I'd hit up everyone I know in SF for a remote position first. There aren&#x27

It's not bad faith, and it's not flamebait. 1) He's technically correct, the best kind of correct. 2) That's tptacek you're suggesting to ban. He's a fixture here and has been an outstanding contributor to thi

How would that help though? If you have a compromised USB interface, and you're entering your pin on that machine, you could just capture the keyboard input anyway.

I just got a yubikey and found this guide today. It's quite good. One thing that I still haven't found a good answer for that's not mentioned in the guide: what's KDF for? The new yubikey firmware has release notes here

You produce some of the most interesting threads I've read on Twitter. Thanks for sharing as much as you do. Out of curiosity, why not mastodon? Do you see a path from Twitter to a federated or decentralized service?

So what you're saying is if work is already lonely, isolating, exhausting, precarious, with little support, then I might as well go into leadership?

That does sound awful. Here's what I do: block all ads. I can't stop the data collection, but I can stop ads. If I ever see an ad, I stop what I'm doing and figure out how to remove that ad from my life forever. So yeah, I&

As best as I can tell from this thread, if you make use of any service in any way that could be interpreted as unintended by the service provider, you're a criminal. It makes me wonder if using 1.1.1.1 on my network is a crime. Sure m

Is it also theft if I run sshd on udp 53 and I happen to be able to connect? How about if I run sshd on tcp 22 and it's not blocked? Is it illegal if I just want to see if a dns change I made has propagated and I query an A record? It

I suppose adblock is theft too?

I'm floored that this is apparently how people are reasoning about the world now. Especially on HN. There is no circumventing of any access control here. If a service is giving a public access point, on public spectrum, and they le

Can I use my solar powered calculator under a street light? Or is that theft of service too?

Or even just let those users alone. Users aren't stealing service if it's not even the same service. It's much slower than buying wifi from the captive portal. DNS tunnelling is not fast or convenient. Places deploying cap

How can it be theft of service when they can deny you service at any time automatically by identifying abnormally heavy users and removing them? This isn't like bypassing the electrical grid by running your own line from somebody else&

Just out of curiosity, why awk? I've only ever used it for simple text splitting and didn't really know people did more with it. Is it a tool worth learning?

I've had fantastic experience with airvpn. They're cheap, fast, reliable, and support all the configuration types you could want. I'm not affiliated with them but I'm surprised nobody here has mentioned them yet. By f

I don't understand how solving a new problem that you haven't solved before is somehow development instead of research. All software is research. If someone had already solved it and built it, you could just copy their solution.

I can think of a few: free speech advocates, libertarians, and long-time RMS supporters. The thing I feel bad about with RMS is that he's clearly not able to read the room, which used to be considered quirky at best and unpleasant at w

Society seems to be settling in on global norms due to the rise of social media. The more engaged you are with it, the more you know what's cancelled and what's trending. > Just pray you don't speak against mob or they&#x

Your sponsor can sign off that you won't become a public charge and they'll become your caretaker.

There should be another word for it. "Work", for most people, is a thing you have to do until you die or retire. "Work", for rich people, is a hobby that you can quit whenever you want without suffering dire consequences

Yeah but it's mostly about immunizations. You can still immigrate if you're disabled but have a caretaker.

I've heard people in the political world talk about buying and selling email lists, which I thought was illegal, but seems to be common practice.

Yeah. The same buttons do different things, but what they'll do depends which mode you've got selected. If you remember the remotes where it blinks an LED under the selected mode (tv/aux/DVD/whatever) as you'
