Eh, it wasn't as much a jab against France or Macron in particular, as just an example of the general policy. Pretty much all of Europe (and US, and Canada) behave in a similar way and see us as a well of natural resources to be scoope

Well, the EU could have put a ban on selling riot control gear to Putin's forces back in 2012 when he used it to suppress massive pro-democracy protests in Moscow, not in October of 2022 like they actually did. This set the tone for

Maybe hcaptcha, I've never run into captcha hell with it, unlike Cloudflare and recaptcha. If those two decide you're a bot, you're done, better go change that IP and reset cookies.

All chat platforms (that I can remember) that were popular around that time used proprietary protocols, including ICQ. Everyone I knew preferred third-party clients to the official one, and these clients would sometimes break because ICQ ke

Certificates are created regardless of whether you ask for them by using features like proxying traffic through CF. Just using them as a DNS service provider is enough for certs to be issued (with "proxy=off" or no A/CNAME re

Lots of people use CloudFlare purely as a registar and DNS hoster because they sell domains at cost. Domains are quite expensive already for what they are. This is enough to trigger certificate issuance on your behalf. You don't have t

I would personally avoid namecheap if you're not based in the US. Back at the beginning of 2022 they cut off all clients from Russia without prior notice, giving everybody a couple of weeks to migrate to another registrar and/or h

I checked two domains registered through Cloudflare about a week ago and both have 1-year certificates issued by Sectigo, valid until May 2025. Never enabled DDoS protection or any other features besides editing DNS records.

Xiaomi claims five years of security updates for upper range models that came out last year. Specifically I am thinking about Xiaomi 13T which a couple of my friends use. Their newer phones no longer allow unlocking the bootloader, though.

LTSC IoT will get you to 2032, and something is likely to change by that date. Of course, if you absolutely insist on using a "genuine" license (even though we're taking about a company that has zero respect for its users — e

I like these kinds of statements, they let you know right off the bat that your time is better spent elsewhere. People who see this as normal will screw you over sooner or later in other ways, e.g. by changing licenses or needless rewriting

My friend picked up a 3.84 TB Kingston SEDC600M with 7 PB of write endurance on sale for $180 a couple of months ago. That same place now sells them for around $360. Definitely an original drive. Maybe you just have to be on the lookout for
