Fair point, but I'm not sure if that was ever a boundary they wouldn't cross, but for 'a little while now' I'd say it doesn't matter. From outside the US I should be using a VPN end-point within the US, so that

Every now and then there are articles like this one about something that Mullvad may or may not be able to do better, and there are always comments about whether they're an intelligence front. I don't know the answer, but there a

I have a script that logs IPs for any traffic coming in to my servers on ports that don't accept traffic. I then block those IPs from accessing ports behind which there are services. If they're checking my locked doors, I don&#x27

A VPN by any other name would smell as sweet.

I do all my illegal shit over Mullvad and I've only been raided once. (yes, I've been raided) (I started using Mullvad after - because of - that) (I don't do illegal shit, I just like some obfuscation of my trail because I en

Interesting handle to make that comment. I'm assuming you mean commercial VPN providers, and not wireguard (or other such VPN implementations).

Making your traffic cross jurisdictional boundaries also adds a level of difficulty for tracking usage. Local law enforcement can tap a local ISP for their records, but it would take a scale more effort to then tap a non-local service provi

Similarly to 'monitor' speakers I would guess. Something designed to keep track of a something-else that is running.

I hope you leave it on the WAF. If they're only just deciding to respect robots.txt, which has been internet infrastructure forever, then it's probably still incredibly amateur software with 'Amazon-priorities' rather th

For a number of reasons, I feel that the only way we got here was via some kind of infinite improbability drive. (mostly unrelated to topic at hand though)

I feel as if you're exactly the opposite of me. This feels, to me, like such an upside down, back-to-front position. If I need to buy something new in order feel like I'm having 'fun', then I try to ask 'why' a

I had a similar reaction from in-law family members. The main reason was that they wanted to be able to see the ads that unlocked more gameplay time on their free game. Just feels crazy to me, but I guess that's what addiction looks li

Everything he says ever, all the time, should be his undoing. And with every 'next thing' the US moves further from any pretext of democracy or rule of law.

I wonder if that means we're going to see an increase in the attempted 'leveraging' of hoarded zero days lest they get publicised and patched prior to being profitable.

Good on them, although I'd rather them hold out even with legal pressure, but that probably becomes a somewhat existential problem. Hadn't heard of them until today, sounds like an alternative to Kali Linux plus dev tools.

The decline had been happening long before AI hit mainstream. It's been a _lot_ of years that I've hesitated to answer calls from unknown numbers.

Google's inability to scale their services should be a regulatory issue. If their platforms (Gmail, YouTube, DoubleClick) are being used to launch scams, they're failing at scale and governments are failing at legislating / r

I actually don't find Kimmel all that funny, but fuck I'm glad he's doing what he's doing. Colbert and Jon Stewart are more my flavor. Shame Colbert is coming to an end.

Is it even possible to buy computers these days that don't look like they're intended to be the lighting system at a rave?

I was thinking the same thing. Advertising or the wording and layout of information on a website is a different level of complexity to monetary calculations that have legislated paths and outcomes, for example. As difficult as it is to use

The internet is just a 'means'; the medium through which an 'end' is reached. The internet has, to some, become a place. But what these people don't realise is that this place is just the medium, so it's not go

What is this? The title made me think it was maybe a sequel to The Cones of Dunshire.
