I use Pi-Hole + Unbound forwarding to Cloudflare/Quad9 over TLS. It would be nice if all servers supported DoT/DoH + DNSSEC and you could roll your own recursive DNS server and have more trust in traffic not being intercepted. Pos

They certainly make better privacy commitments and have more transparency than my ISP. Cloudflare DNS supports DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS. Cloudflare DNS claims to anonymize IPs in logs and only retain anonymized logs for 25 hours.[1]

We did also cut the intracoastal waterway through swamps/marshes for commercial purposes (including large scale cypress logging). It's real easy to see on google earth all the nice straight lines we cut all over the place. That

Personally, as a Goodreads user I don't care about the review ratings. I'm there for: a) making a list of things I want to read b) finding more books by authors (including upcoming) to add to that list c) release dates for b

I don't think crimestoppersusa.org actually has direct tip submission on its site? It looks to me like it links primarily to other crime stoppers programs (which do have tip submission). Your argument definitely stands though: there&#x

Even sticking to science and facts they undermine their authority. New data or corrected mistakes change information and a significant portion of the public does not appear to handle that well. See: the information on the effectiveness of c

The Louisiana government had a press conference today where doctors from children's hospitals claimed their hospitals are full, especially the ICUs. [0] Even if kids don't die and just get sick enough to take up beds that still pu

The statement was purposefully vague because I cannot claim to know who the bad actors are -- only that I stumbled onto a few. Also I never said they were bots. My example was from one account that I personally found and reported. And someo

I would agree if we were just talking about accidental, spontaneous misinformation. But on twitter you've got bad actors pushing propaganda that can be very hard to differentiate from honest opinion. And I think you underestimate how g

We do still have mosquito abatement programs too. I know here in Louisiana the local abatement program has trucks that spray synthetic pyrethroid chemicals (resmethrin, sumithrin and prallethrin) at night and uses an organophosphate (naled)

Fraud would be a more worrying concern if they were allowed to photograph ballots. In some states it's illegal to photograph your own ballot due to concerns of vote selling and coercion. The distance thing is complicated. I assume it

How is Intel dying? Losing a near monopoly is a far cry from dying. And Amazon's Graviton/armv8 chips aren't going to be competitive for many workloads. If you look up benchmarks you'll see they generally aren't com

I consider plain text emails to basically be like sending postcards across the internet. I don't want other people to read them but I'm resigned to the fact that they are. In that context I'm not all that concerned about Goog

I'm curious, what games have moved exclusively to TCP? Most (all?) multiplayer games I play still seem to use UDP, though there is definitely more mixed TCP use than there used to be.

The US does have both the highest incarceration rate and actual number of prisoners in the world. And ~22% of those are unsentenced detainees.

I think the typical way to do DNS over HTTPS is to run a DoH client/DNS proxy and then point your nameservers at localhost. I'm not really sure what benefit there is to doing this compared to DNS over TLS with a resolver like Unbo

The Guardian and Washington Post databases do list per million statistics by State. It's also very easy to calculate the number yourself: 3 to 6+ per million in the US (depends on source) and you'll have a hard time finding a West

In-person voting has its own issues. Polling locations can be (and allegedly are) reduced in number and/or moved farther away from specific groups in order to influence who votes.

I assume you intend "mean" instead of "average". Mean, median, and mode are all averages and a lot of statistics actually refer to median when they say "average".

The whole point of the article was about humane slaughter methods for fish. It wasn't about if it's right or wrong to kill fish; it was about studies suggesting that fish feel pain at a level that is more than just reflex and so,

Comcast is not alone in this. Cox Communications has been injecting code into HTTP traffic for years. I think sometime around 2008 I first saw them do it (I noticed NoScript blocking a script on a page that it wouldn't normally). If I

The US wouldn't launch ICBMs at NK. They would be dropped from bombers or launched from subs/ships. Most likely bombers though, which is what all of the saber rattling in the news with B52s/B1s has been about. Also, China ha
