That's the fair way to look at it though. You don't expect to get three months' less warranty when you buy a model three months after release. It's also how the EU software upgrade requirements work: 5 years (or more) af

"it just works" is the biggest lie they sell. It works only insofar as you use what 95+% of people use. Step outside and not only is it a big gamble, you've also got no way to debug anything. It's a world of walls and li

That's the idea, but I'm not seeing it Maybe that's because of the boogeyman being feared and so people update enough to make such attacks not common enough to be worth it, so once we stop fearing it... but idk. So far it h

What is "not efficient enough"? As a first guess, one would think it makes more sense to eat 30% loss (so you need 1/0.7=143% installed capacity) than to need 200% capacity plus batteries since it's night about half th

Sending a .zip filled with all zeroes, so it compresses extremely well, is a well-known DoS historically (zip bomb, making the server run out of space in trying to read the archive) You always need resource limits when dealing with untruste

The difference between English, Dutch, and German Wikipedias is also very interesting. I used to never open the Dutch one unless there was a near-zero chance of the English one having any article on the topic at all (like how to make vlaai

Self hoster here with a vaguely similar setup at home. Absolutely not needed, that just defeats the purpose of self hosting and being in control. Might as well rent space in a datacentre if you're going to proxy via there anyway

Hello, not OP but I can confirm after >10 years of doing it that hosting on reused portable hardware from a home connection is not just viable, it's cheap and stable. No issues with handling the HN frontpage here either

50-100W for equivalent work as a phone from 2020 can do would have been the case with CPUs from at least a decade ago. I should hope that one doesn't burn ~75W to host a few static files if it can also run on a Pi or phone or laptop th

Thanks for providing a concrete example where this is indeed the case! You're right, and I'm aware of this, but the scenario is quite constrained. This matters when: 1. The attacker either captures the OTPs on the real website, or
