At any moment some change outside my control could occur and my place in society would change. Right now I'm pretty self sufficient and don't really need the support of others in day to day life, but that can change, and there&#x2

I think this may be a US thing, in the UK at least unions work to promote solidarity.

I'm a director of my small company, and a member of UTAW. The union doesn't just help with employment disputes but also campaigns generally on improving working conditions for all, through things like health and safety and setting

When I read this through 25 years ago I learned more about networking than I think I knew in total up until that point, and that was nearing the end of an A level (English further education) Computing course. It's a really comprehensiv

It's pretty upsetting that we've got India's UPI and China's UPI (UnionPay International) and they're both doing exactly the same thing and without geographical context you don't know which one it is.

That's nonsense. There are somewhere between 2 and 8 million users of Tor every day. The vast majority of Tor users are ordinary people that want a little more privacy. What a waste of resources it would be to try to identify and track

I know the title is the title on the actual article, but it's the Chinese Red Cross, not China itself. National Red Cross Societies are independent of the country's government. They may receive government funding but they decide w

SSH keys authenticate you. They are an identity. You probably don't need more than one or two identities (maybe personal and work). You can just get a couple of YubiKeys and configure the OpenPGP applet, or the PIV applet, with an auth

I see. They didn't mention it on the two factor authentication page I was reading because they've split the security key and TOTP documentation and not made it obvious (enough for me to see it while skimming) how to find the forme

Ok, I assume that's with FIDO/U2F, so that's not so bad. At that point though, you already have a hardware token capable of holding SSH keys, so I'm still not convinced of the benefit.

It looks like 2fa is not required for 1password, and also that even if you did enable 2fa you can only use TOTP. Both TOTP and passwords are vulnerable to phishing as there's no cryptographic protocol going on there, you are just typin

In modern TLS this just doesn't work, because you generate a shared key. You can verify what you've received from the server because you know you didn't generate it, but someone else cannot verify if any content was generated

Missing from almost every calendar hosting thing I've used is the ability to publish free/busy information to allow others to schedule me into meetings without needing to be on the same system. I'm pretty sure vCalendar suppo

I have a TI-83 and an HP 19B II and both see regular enough use that they live on my desks (one at home, one in the office) rather than in the drawer. The calculator on my phone sucks (no history, difficult to enter anything more complex th

I ran a survey in 2017 and found that around 0.1% of the DNS servers we poked at would negotiate TFO and of those around 94% were Google's. It might be interesting to take another look at the deployment numbers at some point. https:&#

I think you're missing a few things here: * Services started with sysvinit would put logs where they want, which is fine if you know where they are but per-service you might be guessing. Having everything always in the same place is ha

This is a common theme. Your employer writes your contract of employment and has fancy lawyers to make sure everything works in favour of the employer. You likely did not have input into the contract at all, and also likely did not have fan

I worked with Brian Trammell when he wrote this, and I maintain that it missed something. The assumption is that you have no idea about the path that the data has traveled, but if you actually did know the topology of the larger transit rou
