This doesn't make sense in my opinion. He basically waived the extradition process in the Bahamas. It is very likely doing that provides the court assurance he won't run. He could have very likely fought it for years there. Not fi

Yeah ddosing and gaming have a long history. Over a decade ago these type of services were very popular on other games like Halo, CSGO, & runescape. I was pretty active in the runescape PVP community and around ~2010 onwards tons of peo

Hopefully they will. My whole apartment complex was under ddos attacks for 6 months early during covid. Hundreds of people without a stable connection because someone had a grudge and an account on one of these ddos services.

How consistent is the latency? My friend has used T-Mobile 5g for a few months and while it is much better than the other options it still has some issues (massive random ping spikes often 1000+ms). He is hoping the issue gets better in the

I doubt anything would happen. At the end of the day it is a web forum it doesn't exactly cost many resources to host it (from archive.org most posts seems to just be text and outside links). I'd bet the benefit they get from usin

In this case cloudflare isn't the host though. They have hosting services but kiwifarms only makes use of their ddos protection (which is a reverse proxy). That means they aren't the actual host.

That is a very easy case to make in the US. ISPs have incredibility broad safe harbor laws (even more so when just providing transit instead of actually hosting like this case). They have very broad protection from the consequences of their

I'm confused by your comment. The issue here is people were mad that cloudflare was providing ddos protection (via reverse proxy). What are you talking about?

by CircleSpokes 4y ago
I suggest you look into safe harbor laws when it comes to ISPs. They have very broad protection from the consequences of their users' actions.

>Technically that’s literally how it works. No it is not. Kiwifarms backend server isn't on cloudflare's network. When the backend server sends you some bits it hands them off to cloudflare since cloudflare is the reverse proxy

In this case cloudflare was the ddos protection via reverse proxy. That is different from directly hosting the website. No backend servers in this case were ever hosted on clodflare's network.

What are you talking about? Cloudflare didn't host the website. They provided ddos protection via reverse proxy. That is different from hosting.

That is not how it works both technically and legally. Providing a reverse proxy is not the same as hosting the content.

They would get raided by the government and forced to comply. They literally can't refuse in this case. They could have fought it in court (and lost) but at the end they would have to produce the documents under threat of contempt and

SGX is already dead on consumer chips, but I don't think this has any impact on SGX. SGX keys aren't stored in kernel memory so being able to leak data from kernel memory isn't going to leak the keys. Of course there are othe

I imagine they would add support for the standardized algorithms and still support the ones they are currently using too.

Same. I'm to the point now I don't even use wifi at home or my family/friends house. I only pay for 100mbit/s at home (my local ISP charges too much for anything faster) which is the same or less than what I typically ge

Scanning a /64, /56, or /48 isn't really feasible though. A /64 which IIRC is the smallest IPV6 block handed out to home users is 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 address.

It also has to do with keeping that brainpower from going to other potential problem nations. There is a reason the US basically paid former Soviet rocket and nuclear engineers after the fall of the USSR.
