What a great read. I had to setup a VPN to read it since the country I'm in (Vietnam) blocks the BBC, but it was well worth it. The scrolling feature of the article was also interesting... at first I reloaded my page because I thought it timed out loading.
- someonenice 7y agoYou are from Vietnam reading about Napalm used in Iraq. Looks like Napalm usage was even worse during the Vietnam war. [1] 388,000 tons of napalm was dropped in Vietnam during 1963 -1973 period Source - https://thevietnamwar.info/napalm-vietnam-war/ https://thevietnamwar.info/napalm-vietnam-war/ [2]..... use against civilian populations was banned by the United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) in 1980........ Approximately 25 years after the General Assembly adopted it, the United States signed it on January 21, 2009, President Barack Obama's first full day in office. Its ratification, however, is subject to a reservation that says that the treaty can be ignored if it would save civilian lives.

- latchkey 7y agoI am also in Vietnam. The block on BBC is quite weak, they just do it at the DNS level. Set up DNSSEC and it will work fine without a VPN. I also find that using bbc.com sometimes works as well.
- tptacek 7y agoWhat does DNSSEC have to do with bypassing a BBC block? The BBC's zones (like virtually everyone else's) aren't DNSSEC-signed. Do you you mean DNS-over-TLS?
- latchkey 7y agoI'm sorry, you are correct. It was late and my mind was thinking of DNSCrypt, not DNSSEC. DNS-over-TLS solved the issue for me.
