Indeed, that's what I meant. You can fork WebKit, but you don't start out with a working browser, like you would when forking Firefox or Chromium.

> How is choosing Firefox over Chromium going to help in that regard? Chromium is absolutely dominant in that space, since basically all major browsers except Safari and FF are based on it. Creating your own stack is hardly an option and

A bit off-topic, but why would one build a nuclear-hardened skyscraper? I can't think of any structure more vulnerable towards extreme winds. Wouldn't a house or bunker be far more practical? Especially when you skip the windows a

You can get a lot of cheap, used SFP+ stuff on eBay and the likes. For short range (up to ~3m) you can go with DACs, which are 5-10€ a piece; for longer ranges, you can go to fiber, where you'll pay 20-30€ per cable. Ethernet cables ar

You always have a choice. But you can't deny that the services offered by these companies are really good and, not to mention, completely free. It's easy to give up long term drawbacks for short term benefits.

And, unlike some other computer crimes, it is sufficient to prevent local companies from using the technique. While someone who's hacking or laundering money might simply use a proxy in the Bahamas without problems, a company local com

To be fair, recent tech has eroded that a lot. People are still not happy about all of it, but the resistance has been dropping - usage of Facebook and Google products is now pretty widespread and people (especially young ones) seem to be f

Of course. But I think this was less of a judgement and more of a sympathizing comment [0], which doesn't really require that much hard evidence. [0] At least when we assume good faith.

I guess it's the wording. "without my consent" is used to imply a strong violation of the personality rights, at least in some circles [0]. It's also pretty much a repeat of yesterdays post. At least to me, this makes th

This week only I've been threatened to have videos taken from my webcam released - unless I pay a ransom - and I was asked to pay due bills in the attached zip file twice. And that's only what my spam filter did not catch. Given

Possibly. But most likely there was a bug "crashing when DirectX is not installed" and some developer hacked a silent install for DirectX in without thinking too much.

It's also one of the best high-performance ARM machines you can currently buy (unless you go for insanely expensive exotic servers). I consider buying one just to have a low power server.

This is somewhat intended, though. Also, for intercepting the logs you need _a lot_ more access than for an unauthenticated RCE and that database might not actually be accessible from the outside. It's not cool, but far less severe tha

It's 60km/h to enter the motorway. You don't need to drive it necessarily (depending on your situation), but the top speed in your cars papers needs to be that or higher.

They still assign a public IPv4 address to every EC2 instance by default and their IPv6 support is still a work-in-progress. So that's unlikely.

On the other hand, backups as an afterthought is what leaves you paying ransoms. I prefer to think about backups directly when setting up the machine, since grouping data directories can help a lot with backup strategies later on. Of course

Adding to that, some servers might have a secondary user with a weak password that was created by an installer or an admin for testing purposes. Disallowing password login prevents others from exploiting these accounts.
