Merely because they're big enough to throw their clout around, which could be a good thing or bad thing depending on how you view it. Could also be Apple, or Amazon, or maybe Netflix. Any large enough company really.

I feel the same way, but I worry that ISPs won't ever change unless they're forced to. I'm starting to wonder if Google should just stop accepting (or start delaying?) traffic to or from ISPs that allow spoofed traffic. I mea

This is exactly why I don't bother with forums controlled by the company I wish to raise a grievance about. Just go air your complaint on Reddit or something they don't control, it's not worth your time complaining to their f

That's pretty disingenuous though, given that FB and Google both track you across the net whether you have an account with them or not. Logging out of your account doesn't stop them or increase the difficulty of them tracking you

This is really cool and reminds me a bit of Mandos which does full disk encryption on headless servers using a network host. The Readme didn't mention, can this be configured to SMS me when an encryption key is handed out?

Maybe they can reinvest some of that money and figure out how to not spam me for things I've already pre-ordered from Amazon . Case in point, Super Mario Odyssey. Preordered from Amazon, and they've been sending me nonstop emails

I agree with your intention, but I worry about the consequences: One thing worse than a group of companies controlling credit ratings is one company having a monopoly on controlling credit ratings and being "too big to fail". What

To add to that, the desktop site works* with javascript disabled, is faster that way, and has much fewer ads, but the mobile site doesn't even load under that condition. Edit: * - works in a read-only sense, you have to turn JS on to c

First off this is partly a self fullfilling prophecy: I'm increasingly less likely to buy one the longer it takes them to update it. Also, they've effectively pushed me to other vendors for small form factor PC's now. I neede

This whole thing seems to stem from the authors inability to reproduce and understand the problem. Has anyone submitted a test case demonstrating the problem? I don't see one linked in the comments. It may also help to explain how you

My understanding is that iptables and nftables are both user interfaces to configure rule-sets in the NetFilter code, though I think that glosses over some important bits.

I use and recommend nftables, and while it's very usable I also think it's important to acknowledge that nftables is not yet at full feature parity with iptables. More details can be found here: - https://wiki.nftable

I don't agree that this is a step backwards, but I certainly do agree that this is not a step forward. Progress will be defined by decreasing the amount of obnoxious advertising, until we see that there is no progress and this is all t

Is there thought being given to expose such an option to the end user at additional cost? Say if I wanted to make sure my data was stored in 2 regions, and was OK with a slight increase in cost to accomplish that.
