On the contrary, ATT actually squats on the CloudFlare DNS IP address. IIRC that modem is one of the affected ones where it uses 1.1.1.0/24 internally. You shouldn't even be able to use CloudFlare DNS normally.

So I just noticed that my mtr session that I started originally just changed paths and is now going to a different POP and now 1.1.1.1 is back up for me. No clue if the issue is fixed or they just sent a BGP update withdrawing the advertise

They can rather easily discern between the two in double blind tests. The vinyl recording has a noticeable amount of noise in it. Vinyl record players can't exceed the kinds of signal to noise ratios that human hearing can detect. The

I've seen lobste.rs over the years but never saw it as much outside of "niche HN". But honestly, taking an objective look at the topics on the front page of HN that I care about compared to the front page of lobste.rs that I

So wouldn't you just go with a constant bit rate compression algorithm like what's done for video? It's not like audio can't be lossy outside of fax over VoIP.

The point is, if every one of those deaths were someone who presented a credible threat and were actually trying to kill an officer, why do so little of them succeed? If anything, they have the element of surprise on their side. Police are

I would love to see police trying to take a crack at this from the other side of things. Instead of matching against a database, Set up a style GAN and come up with a mask of the original photo or video to isolate just the face and have the

No clue about the likelihood of police using similar facial recognition matches for the rest, but normally the alternates need to be around the same height, build, and complexion as the subject. I would think including multiple potential ma

Your heat pump had something wrong with it. Quite possibly it wasn't going into defrost mode or wasn't able to actually finish defrosting by the end of a cycle. The way that's intended to work is that after running for a bit

In an ideal world, with plenty of funding, I've always wanted to take that a step further and implement a remote virtualized workstation. With just 2.5Gbps from NBase-T and 802.3bt for power and VESA display stream compression you coul

Best chance of anything hypothetically being possible in the very very far future would be not going faster than light, but contracting and expanding space. There's plenty of problems with that theory, one of many would be that it woul

Not a chance. The claim that ethernet starts at 10Mbit is basically correct. It's not like StarLAN got the kind of adoption that thicknet or thinnet got. It came out after those two standards but was 1/10th the speed and AT&T

None of these satellites are anywhere near geosynchronous orbit so every satellite circles the globe. They don't really get much of a choice as to where to put them other than altitude and inclination. The satellites are in different o

It would have been great if they would have used the opportunity to leverage SCTP instead of building it into QUIC. They could have defaulted to plain jane SCTP on IPv6 and tunnel it in UDP for IPv4. That would have been the perfect opportu

Even just base salary, if that's not something they'll stop paying the second you land a job somewhere else that could be completely reasonable. That'd be an extra 50% on top of whatever other job just to avoid direct competi

Yeah but the difference is that you can use %n wherever you need it in the format string. Depending on what arguments come after it figuring out the length of the printed arguments might not be trivial whereas with printf, it already has to

Well the fun use is using it to exploit printf format string vulnerabilities. Microcorruption has a fun level involving that IIRC.

The creator of CryptoCat was targeted by the FBI. Not because he was suspected of committing a crime, just because they didn't like him creating open source encryption software. They actually had Hector Monsegur (Sabu) try to entrap hi

Forget 8 year olds, my 3.5 year old can drive a tractor through the woods no problem. We obviously only let him steer and have someone else on the throttle, but he can keep it centered, turn around, avoid obstacles, etc just fine. Kids can

But doing it all at once and having it opt-out accomplishes that. If "John Smith" has a public TripleByte profile next week, as a third party the only signal I can get out of that is that "John Smith" passed the TripleBy

Doesn't TOTP usually allow for clock drift in either direction? This might be problematic, especially if there's some IO issue causing it to hang. What happens if the rootfs gets stuck read only?
