I really love the EFF, but I also believe the immediate backlash is (relatively) daft. There is a potential for abuse of this system, but consider the following too: 1. PhotoDNA is already scanning content from Google Photos and a whole hos

I was under the impression that one of the reasons why these tools aren’t available for public download is because the hashes and system can be used to design defeat mechanisms? Doesn’t this mean that someone who has an image and a jail bro

This is why I really suggest using uBlock Origin, blocking all of the trackers, and then removing the cookie popups. That would have been blocked by the "EasyList Cookie" and "Fanboy's Annoyances" list(s), with the

This is the exact symptom I had with using AT&T Fiber and GitHub, using “DMZ+ mode.” It sounds a lot like an MTU problem, and no, when I contacted GitHub they were absolutely flummoxed and couldn’t see any evidence of failure. If you’re

I suppose that broadly, the takeaway here (and in all of this) that I’ve missed is that fundamentally, this list of phones that were targeted shouldn’t exist, or shouldn’t be leakable in this way, if we want to believe that NSO Group is tar

The strangest thing about the attached PDF is that it seems to have the footer from Reddit’s Zendesk system attached. I don’t really understand how or why the attacker would have either edited a Zendesk page, or submitted a ticket, then exp

Perhaps the most interesting point, which I hadn't considered in all of this, is the amount of advertising and discounts offered by VPN companies. Bandwidth is relatively expensive for a fixed price service. If a VPN is expecting you t

As a good example, the two seemingly useful use cases (identifying an expelled student or a trespasser) could use this technology if deployed on the entrances and exits to a building. The more cameras you install, though, the more of a chan

Statistically, a 60% efficacious vaccine, if the only available option, would have been a welcome sign of relief. Remember that the influenza seasonal vaccines are only about that effective, and they do a significant amount of good. 94% is

I sincerely hope that she’s able to get the vaccine somehow. I hope that we can convince people to get vaccinated too. I hope that we can stop the pandemic with as little loss of life as possible. I really personally hope that your partner

The OPM breach targeted data from SF86 forms (Standard Form 86) not “FS86” forms as the article states. Now, this isn’t really useful on its own, but it does make you wonder if any high level google search was ever carried out to fact check

Relying on firewalls to do what firewalls do and have done and continue to do seems perfectly acceptable. Yes, your database should have authentication enabled too, but expecting ports to not be unexpectedly open is the entire point of fire

Far and above, the best strategy is to spin up the new server, scp/rsync the data to the new server directly from the old server, and then boot services, and only decommission after you’ve moved all DNS over and confirmed the new site
