They only know more because people are careless, providing them all the data. That is out of the scope. If you are careless, bad things can happen. As for censorship, thet already can do it easy. Block domain for example of site when you pu

I agree. Complete anonymity is bullshit. Internet should be pseudoanonymous. I mean, users should have static IP and thats it. Getting additional information about IP should be limited to law enforcement gov organizations (crime fighting).

No, I mean Intel Pentium 150MHz. I had Cyrix 6x86 CPU and I remember it was running hot.

Hmm looks interesting. Too bad it is written in Python. So, few questions then. Can it be bootstraped completly offline? Also, what are node requirement for this? I mean, CPU and MEM. Can my P150 with 16MB RAM run it?

Windows XP does NOT have IPv6 installed by default.

Hmm terrible CVE published by Microsoft. Oh well, what I could expect.. Anyway, question is.. If this is mitigated by disabling IPv6 it means its IPv6 stack only issue exploit? IPv4 is safe?

Hmm, Im not really sure why MBTiles are popular? They seems to be cache unfriendly. Good old tiles via /{x}/{y}/{z}.png seems to be better. And you can slap web cache in front. Hosting those is super simple. The problem I hav

Its not that easy. Win32 API is not static, in evolves. While yes, it can provide great backward compat, new stuff is introduced ever new OS release (or Win10 update), so its pretty much easy to destroy portability to older version. To keep

Ohh, IRC will eventually die, unfortunately. Why? When last dinosaurs like me vanish. I love IRC, I met hell of people on IRC in golden times.. 1998-2004. IRC will be always special in my hearh. I wrote IRC bots, IRC servers. Currently, I s

Remember Twisted.Dal.Net server? :) Admin of it did some magikery on his server and hosted 50k local clients!! :) And it was 2001 or so... Thats crazy :)

This also shows how programmers sometimes use far too fancy stuff for what they do. If you are doing some intense computation, split it, or do it and later slap sanity check inside. It will be even more readable. If you just play with bunch

Very nice article, I love such debugging. I sometimes do it myself too. Anyway, this also made me think about general bloat we have in new OSes and programs. Im still on old OS running spinning rust and bash here starts instantly when cache

Market as a whole Internet. Some ISPs adopted it, smaller fight hard. Enterprise networks are behind too. They all have they reasons.

Yes, ARP had its problem, but they are solved right now. We have knobs in managed switches to handle it. ND just moved problems somewhere else, please read about ND table exhaustion and attacks. DHCP snooping, need I say more? Also, if you

I do NOT miss that point. The point is, new protocol should not be very different from previous one, unless its really necessary. After all those years and R&D put into IPv4 to make it better, we ended up with decent protocol. The only

It looks simpler to start with.. Aka PnP.. you just plugin in stuff, SLAC and later ND discovery kicks in and vioala, we have network up and running. But somehow I see it less managable and controlable. In Enterprise networks this is a seri

That is not ARP problem. Its called broadcast storm and its problem of stupid people and/or bad equipment. You can bring any network down with incompetence. Thats why newer switches have STP, DHCP Snooping, ARP security and so on. Now

Its not so easy. First, yeah I was operating networks, not maybe hyperscalers, but 200+ switches. Yes, ARP had a its problems, like ARP poisoning, but they are all sorted out already. IPv6 took its ND and bring a lot of other problems that

Because IPv6 is mistake. Thats why market does NOT want it. Unfortunately, we all start to feel the heat of IPv4 exhaustion. Anyway, remember IPv4 classes? Then they made it classless. IPv6 is not 128bit, its just 64bit with 64bit host addr

tinc-vpn is great. I use it to build L2 mesh islands and then quagga to route between those.

China is using more energy and resources that rest of the world combined, so not really a difference. The question is, do we have any breakthru in energy storage technology there?

Yeah! I know about NPR.. cool project :)

Thanks for info, but I do NOT need network stack. I have my own, I can build my own. I need decent hardware, because I lack knowledge and skills here. Also, its not an interesting stuff to me to play with DSPs and all that stuff really.

Exacly. I've myself been looking around HAMs from networking point of view. I am networker and I would love to get hands on some digital radio.. at least 128Kbps, ideally 1024Kbps stuff where I can slap all the protocol to build networ

Or you can just run IRC client on start. Just trap SIGINT and SIGTSTP, run simple or modified client that cannot do exec or escape to shell and you are done :)

Well, more retro focused audience.. But also point is, you can do decent webpage that is not bloated and work on older/retro platforms. Its sad what web become, if you do not run latest stuff from FAANG companies, you are pretty much e

No worries, I do NOT feel bad about it. My home page is not for general consumption like smartphone browsers. Im actually very supprised that such a website like Hackers News are being read on smartphones. Damn, world changed a lot.

Pfft.. JavaScript is usefull. Its not my fault that its heavly abused or even generated, turining into bloat. Just take a look at my homepage: http://borg.uu3.net/~borg/ It needs JavaScript, but will work on anything..

Oh comeone people. Answer is simple. Money! Complexity means more money, means spending for developers are justified! Its so complicated after all! Simple solutions that just works will not pay you bills.
