The DevTeam released nethack-3.4.3 in Dec 2003, and then pretty much went dormant for 11 years -- no new releases, no roadmap, nothing. So some time around 2013 some people not connected to the DevTeam created this project: http:/&#x2

Huh, what a blast from the past. About 30 years ago, in Russia, I hacked up cyrillics keyboard support for Coherent by extending the line discipline layer in its kernel. It was probably still Coherent 3.0 though (which IIRC was based on Uni

Apparently there's no support for smarthost / relayhost (or I can't find any traces of it in the documentation). Running your own low traffic mail exchanger without it is often not a pleasant experience.

You can just `openssl s_client en.wikipedia.org:443`.

^ This. I have narcolepsy and it's really similar to what OP describes. And Sodium Oxybate is seriously life changing stuff if you have narcolepsy.

Hmm, interesting. Are you speaking from experience? Because I definitely am. I watched my mother die a very slow, very painful death from cancer several years ago. I can assure you she would be absolutely genuinely happy to get that celloph

Yeah, this is seriously overengineered. A cellophane hood with elastic collar and a nitrogen nasal cannula is all it takes.

No, it (again) doesn't work like this at all. 1) DNS blocking of cloudflare is useless, you can receive IPs, or names in non-cloudflare zones, 2) IP blocking of the whole cloudflare will bring so much collateral damage (unrelated servi

They don't have to be strictly unique per user. You can send out different sets of URLs to different cohorts of users, then correlate new URL blockings with client IDs to detect rogue app installations and excommunicate them. Telegram

Not as of yet. Actually, if you use tor (with out-of-Russia exit nodes, which I think is the default when using it from Russia?), you can already freely access all the sites blocked in Russia, non-onion ones. But, obviously, tor and VPNs ar

Not really. You can use whatever you like, the possibilities are endless. AFAIU, the most straightforward approach would be to use Android / IOS push notifications (which can't be easily blocked) to regularly push a constantly cha

Yes, you can re-host, but propagating the new URL to your users will take days, and the authorities reaction time is, for high profile cases, measured in hours. Another interesting question is how will you propagate the new URL? To do that,

It now has the option to avoid (laggy) Android media service framework, and to use its own scanner to detect media changes instead. That should be immediate.

32 bit mask is way too generous, you only need 5 bit masklen. It all doesn't matter though since they have v6 addresses and ranges.

You are mistaken. PRISM is specifically a program that "collects stored internet communications based on demands made to internet companies" [em. mine]. NSA wiretapping the non-public links of Google et ol was not PRISM (I'

This is just Crypviser spreading lies. No, being on that Russian register doesn't imply any intention to comply with any wiretapping / censorship requests; in fact, IIRC, it doesn't even necessarily imply any consent to being

No, according to this map they track you with Location History off (it says so right in the title, actually), not with Location Services off.

From what I can see, sendfile isn't really async, it still returns the number of bytes written or error status, and nginx probably needs to wait for that to e.g. log the results, handle short writes, or proceed with whatever next opera

Well, it's not the first fork in the world, ethereum's fork was pretty big (ETH vs ETC). As far as I can see, exchanges just treat both sides of the fork as two completely separate currencies (which, in fact, they are).

Why do you think that being the exchange used for cashing out is a bad position to be for an exchange? My understanding is, exchanges earn money on commissions, so the more volume they get, the better, and cashing out sure is some volume. T

Yes, and this is old news, actually. We observed the rise of DDoS as a form of censorship in Russia roughly 10 years ago. People usually think that DDoS attacks are mostly used for extortion purposes, but in Russia it was routinely used to

My understanding is that it doesn't apply at least to EV certificates. Also, the parent says that "any user who is delegating their DNS lookups to a third party", but that can't apply to such users either.

Not sure I understand what you are saying. If you are saying that "Any website who is delegating their DNS to some third party is potentially vulnerable" to subverting SSL/TLS, then you are absolutely wrong. Malicious DNS can

Password hashing is used to prevent the brute forcing when the attacker already has the copy of the password database, and is free from any failed attempt limits and timeouts. And in this case storing hashes of all 3-letter combos is basica
