I had the same problem. Ask Clawdbot to optimize token usage. It cut my usage in half.

No, that's incorrect. I linked the Wall Street Journal article in the post. There are hard business connections, not just social connections. I didn't got into them in depth to keep the article short. Read the Journal article.

Ha, I have to agree. But never will I claim our government is perfect. In fact, right now, it is embarrassing for us Americans.

Sorry man, but there's a lot of truth to that. I noticed Russian-based attacks against the website within minutes of publication. I guarantee you by the end of the day, they'll be hammering it.

What geek doesn’t like a good conspiracy theory? Well, I’ve got one for you – a follow-the-money chain that leads from the head of Russian state to an app that is installed on millions of personal phones - one that you probably use every da

Researchers just announced the discovery of a UPnP vulnerability that impacts any UPnP device exposed on the Internet. The attack, called CallStranger (CVE-2020-12695), is being used for massive DDoS attacks , to exfiltrate data, and to sca

I have reviewed the code and indeed, it is fairly well written. Definitely a professional coder. Not sure if they would have to have a deep understanding of the firmware though. Busybox is linux based and that's all they needed to k

This is pretty scary. You just described me to a "T" (except the Evernote part - I use Onenote). I've been lucky enough however, to fall into jobs where I became the "tech lead" and as such, explore all sorts of ne

Similar situation here. A big red button on the wall in the basement data center - nobody knew what it was for and were afraid to turn it off. One day a night operator decided he was going to flip the switch and see what happened. It cut

Disagree - in many cases they are permanently impacted, even if they are not aware of it. Who were are is a product of our life experiences and a child, especially one that is molested repeatedly during extend periods of their youth, are pe

Ah, but I believe that they do often act on their impulses. Mayo reported that more than 3/4 of persons who were arrested for child pornography were found to have molested a child. A federal prison study actually estimated even more.

You guys crack me up. It was a facetious parenthetical comment that seems to have become the focal point. I run Tor, operate a legit hidden service, run an anonymous proxy on several of my machines, and use encryption all over the place.

More than one offered pictures and in fact, according to other sources, seems to be a frequent method for pedos to prove to the hidden service operator that they are indeed "legit".

Sorry, it's under an insane load right now. I fully expect to find a dead server when I wake up in the morning.

I have already shut down the VM but I believe there were around 550-650 registered users in 14 days. Around 40-60 new registrations per day. Total registrations for counterfeiting+drugs sites: 8. Since the article went out, someone pointe

facetious: treating serious issues with deliberately flippant humor.

It was 4-7%. I pre-wrote the article estimating the final numbers and then shut down the site two days early. Traffic dropped suddenly leading me to believe something was up. The exit node IP is not totally useless. It's enough to p

The crawler project was a project on its own but after discovering that the many of the discovered sites were pedophile-related, I started to shut down the spider. Then I figured, what the heck, maybe I can hack around on Tor and see how c
