People buying 7 cent chips off Aliexpress and similar know full well that it ain't coming from TI and usually isn't labelled as such - it might be called an NE555 but make no mention of manufacturer and not have one labeled on the

Toronto and Vancouver have been known to be particularly bad markets though - using them as examples for all of Canada is probably a mistake.

For anyone wondering - the TOTP 2FA is not on the password wallet itself, but that the wallet is able to store the TOTP key, authenticating TOTP involves knowing the key, by which point there's really no value in using it to authenti

Still no KDBX 4 support though? Please consider making it a priority - it looks like someone tried to pull request it but that failed? The older format uses a custom AES-based KDF - and while I don't personally see any major issues wit

Seems like incredibly poor budgeting given that they had $150M and couldn't deliver even a limited version of the game. Maybe I'm underestimating the costs somehow, but you could easily pay pretty high salaries for 100+ people&#x

I've thought about turning my whole house into a faraday cage way too many times to be considered sane still.

Warning you now - that strategy on Kimsufi boxes at least is extremely popular. If you're willing to pay a little more check out their "SoYouStart" line - they seemed more readily available.

Yeah, this isn't really a major Twilio win or a hack - it's a basic scraping technique. I found a house for myself and a friend in a similar way, reverse engineer mobile app from MLS, scrape all listings once a day to get new stuf

Setting up your own is better for doing it privately - takes out an unnecessary extra party at least. Still not perfect of course, the data center and ISPs can still see your traffic and connections on both sides, so still cannot be conside

There's no way for them to guarantee that to you. It's just 100% marketing wank. If you want privacy use Tor or similar.

Algo and self-hosted VPN in general is only good for some applications though. - IPSec will be blocked on many places where port 443/TCP isn't and OpenVPN or similar could work. So it's not ideal for free wifi, enterprise or

Yeah, now your VPN provider can instead. So much better.

That's already the case last I checked - plug any machine into the internet directly you'll still get scanned for vulns from early 2000s.

Yes, not an exploit - just a modified firmware that they might have installed if they broke in via other means (physical or wifi cracking for example).

Modern VPN solutions allow for full IP roaming. Nothing to maintain really. I see what these guys are trying to get at - its essentially how I run distributed services for my small business, but having a VPN in front of those is still a mor

There are a few main purposes for a commercial VPN: - accessing non-encrypted stuff on an untrusted network - firewall bypassing - Torrenting - IP ban bypassing (pretty popular for people writing scrapers or trolling) Anonymous anything is

Algo isn't that much better than any other VPN - arguably it's slightly better security wise, though I'd argue Wireguard tops it by far on cipher choices and security margins. Ultimately VPNs just aren't for hiding anyth

Curious - why are you doing video transcoding on CPUs? The CPU to GPU speedup is so massive that it's really not worth it. I don't recall the exact numbers, but I got an order of magnitude boost going from HEVC encoding on CPU to

You can't clone it as many do challenge response but you can relay it - check out NFCgate for example. This would allow you to say, hold one device to the reader and one against someone's pocket to open a door. Or to share an NFC

Unless he's going to give everyone new computers which are locked down at the hardware level such that we can't clone and emulate them, there's really nothing he can do. This idea is doomed, plain and simple.
