Ok, and? That’s not a sin or anything. For what it’s worth there is definitely a market for this stuff. Starlink, hello?

You don’t get to dictate free human behavior. It’s so frustrating to see this trend on HN. People have a right to build private internet infrastructure and sell it at a premium. Full stop. No qualifications. Your opinion is naive and short-

Who cares, really? I use Makefiles for everything from eliminating 8284738 random bash scripts to orchestrating global infrastructure deployments with Terraform in a docker container. None of my above fits your “correct” view of make. But i

Be careful with that logic: While prefixes are supposed to be regionally-allocated, they can and DO move around occasionally. You could find yourself in a situation where you are referencing outdated geolocation information, resulting in a

I always feel a need to state this to folks who are not aware of geolocation and ip addresses: Geolocation based on IP is very unreliable and should be used only for soft-analytics at best. Example: It is not fit for security postures (in t

Just a word of warning: Stuffing X inside a TCP wrapper can get nasty fast... VPNe are UDP for a reason.

Some stuff gets pretty advanced. Check out the M134D. Sure it’s 1960’s tech, but it’s still amazing.

There is a massive uptick in online child pornography. For what it is worth, it appears to be hitting epidemic levels. I have no reason to think this is a US-only problem. Reference: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/

As a network person thank you for bootstrapping IPv6 where you can. Most folks still don’t care :-(.

Annoyed at being on call: How dare they do their expected responsibilities in exchange for pay. The nerve of them.

It is possible: De-peer AS4134 (China Telecom) and reject all of their routes. They are the only international ISP that lands into mainland China. They are extensively peered around the world.

I see your point. But those platforms (while flawed) are operating legally, under their own volition, without direction from the United States Government. If the USG were to order Twitter to take down X person's tweets because it hurt

It won’t happen. It is incompatible with the first amendment. Thank god we baked that shit in instead of just passing a law to that effect.

Great idea. I am going to reuse that analogy.

I'm having trouble understanding why the randomly sprayed bits from the attacker to the client are even accepted at all at the crypto boundary. Shouldn't it hard-fail (not decrypt) due to an invalid key?

Ya - the NSA calls this "LINK MASKING". Makes a communication channel look busy 100% of the time at at predefined bit rate. Pretty much worthless to traffic analysis, at the cost of burning extra bits on the wire when not actually

Exactly. This brew-ha-ha is nothing. This is an anti-theft feature. Hard to argue against features designed to reduce the potential for someone to target it for theft. As someone who has had both a smartphone and a laptop stolen, I would ha

The people you mentioned in the US went through a judicial proceeding which resulted in their imprisonment. We can debate the merits (or lack therefore) of the laws broken which resulted in their imprisonment, but the point is there was a p

You’re tone deaf. CA is in the midst of their worst homeless crisis ever. Density is a long ways behind my concerns for the middle-class homeless whom have been priced out of any meaningful housing options.

No... that's pure hyperbole. But 10x faster (or capable) and 2x the cost? That's not outrageous. BTW that's where we currently are.

Laser and radar jammers do exist and is usually targeted at high end car folks. It’s not legal obviously.
