I’m shocked to hear that I am apparently living under totalitarianism, and would love to see some concrete examples of this dramatic shift in Labour party policy, rather than vague gesturing.

@gavinhoward Just FYI, a couple of links in the article are broken: * The "incomplete list" of C UB currently points to the Rust spec vision * The link labelled "unreasonable programming language" currently points to the

That isn’t the premise of the article, that is the “common wisdom” the author corrects as the article goes on. The author goes on to list video games as an example of where UDP makes sense, as well as live video.

Much of your traffic is probably passing through Hurricane Electric servers already, given their position on the backbone ( https://he.net ).

An operating system from 2018 which is no longer maintained by its vendor? https://www.linuxmint.com/rel_tara_cinnamon_whatsnew.php I think it's somewhat unreasonable to expect software released today will necessarily

Dismissing the Summa Theologica as “borderline schizophrenic nonsense” makes me believe you’re just trolling here.

Was this its raw response to the same query as in the OP? It seems odd it would provide a response using variables named with underscores, rather than using spaces, or more traditional algebraic notation (x/y/z).

Having done a couple of their courses without paying: You are expected to complete the project in steps they define (so for their Redis project, step 1 is to bind to a port, step 2 is to respond to a PING command, etc). If you choose not to

Being a current user of Migadu: I’m not sure what they’ve written there is actually correct. When I’ve gone over the outgoing message limit, I’ve received no warning, no 25% margin, and the messages were just dropped, not deferred. I just r

Good point, I think I misinterpreted the conversation in the second screenshot. I think the point is still relevant though: if these are the ASNs connected to a server which you know has 10 active users, for example, then there is still a p

I agree it’s not a TOS violation, but I do think it could potentially be a shitty move to post the ASN from which a specific user is connecting to your service, if they’ve not said it’s okay for you to do so. If you’re from a small town wit

Not entirely certain, but I think to some degree this is a way for the network to say, “I will not respect your privacy, so don’t try”. If a network implements DNS-based content filtering and blocks DOH requests, not responding to a query f

This kind of attitude strikes me as an excellent way to avoid ever pursuing introspection or self-improvement. Do you have any examples of criticism you’ve received in the past which you would deem worthwhile?

I probably should have said “can be”. The way RSA is often explained just details the mathematics, and explains how a message could be encrypted directly using RSA. It’s then not an unreasonable assumption for a complete beginner that this

The author definitely should have clarified this. The standard is to use ECC for key exchange only. This can be done entirely offline - each party chooses a random secret scalar, and multiplies the base point of the curve by that scalar to

I’m not crazy about this guide to be honest. For symmetric encryption, if you’re recommending Salsa20/ChaCha20, it is absolutely necessary to discuss nonce management, since this is a major footgun people coming from AES may not be f

I think this was copied from Latacora’s cryptographic right answers without some of the necessary context. It’s specifically talking about the KMS offerings from AWS/Google Cloud, which provide trusted hardware implementations of not j

AES-CBC with a random IV and solid HMAC should be fine, but the point is that, for a non-cryptographer, putting together an authenticated encryption construction yourself has potential footguns. Using a pre-made authenticated encryption con

Be very careful when infusing your own oil. Botulism is a real concern, it is often necessary to soak your aromatics in a citric acid solution before infusing.

It’s probably worth remembering this is a pre-print of the paper. This is the kind of thing that would be corrected when actually published.

Haha yeah, I remember a friend of mine from Seoul coming to visit me and looking with wonder at the stars in the night sky. It’s so easy to take these things for granted.

The kind of interception that is being discussed here is the interception of DNS queries which would return an NXDOMAIN result to instead point to an advertising page. This is done by a lot of ISPs.

This kind of thing has always seemed quite interesting (and worrying!) to me from an OSINT perspective. It seems like if you just know a couple of some anonymous person's favourite songs from various genres, you could identify possible

Might be worth updating this with the latest from Wikidata: It looks like Elliot Page [0] is listed under his birth name, with the wrong gender too. Just one example, but also I’m sure other things have changed :) 0: https://en.
