If I am not mistaken, it is an option at 500 karma.

Didn't realize this was a thing, cool that it worked. As a loosely related note, there has been problems in the past where people come up with meanings for hand gestures without knowing the signed language of the region they are in, wh

I can understand wanting stay anonymous; many companies are hostile towards people who find security vulnerabilities. If they have a real vulnerability and share it I'd accept their request to stay anonymous. If they would not share un

Wow; that is a lot worse than I thought. I really wish IPv6 was better understood than it is now, it really is quite a good standard, but it is also quite a bit different than IPv4 which I think scares people away (it can also be hard to re

Of course it has its own website ;)

That looks like a sweet project. I'm happy to see web assembly being used in it too. I'll have to add it my long list of things I want to get around to tinkering with.

It is really nice, OpenVPN is good, but it is definitely harder to configure, and slower. I also like that it is hard to shoot yourself in the foot with Wireguard given it is really hard to mess up and create an insecure config. ProtonVPN i

Yeah; she had the permits. It was kinda funny from the outside because people kept complaining to the county and the county kept pushing back saying it was approved. That shed must've been inspected 3 separate times because of a couple

Alright; fair enough. If I am willing to give criticism I need to also be willing to be criticized. I stand by my original comment though. I really don't think the team should take my feedback as a personal insult, it is simply my own

Awesome writeup; I used SnapServ and so far the guy that runs it has been nothing but awesome. I am not experienced what it comes to this specific area of networking since it is my first time trying to get my own IP block; he walked me thro

Yeah; I definitely think for kids it has a certain novelty that makes the hospital stay more interesting and enjoyable. I don't think this could scale beyond a fun novelty though; but that is more of just a personal opinion on my part.

Darn, your reply reads as super harsh. Also a reply on hacker news is not the place for me to go into a complete peer review of this research. I am merely pointing out that they are promoting essentially a toy and the hospital is funded mai

The cease and desist seemingly has no real legal basis, but I mean you can send a cease and desist for anything you want. My mom was building a shed on her property, some neighbors didn't like it so they had a lawyer send a cease and d

As a computer scientist who makes a living from developing new technology, I hate that many of my peers seem to think the solution to every problem is a piece of technology or some app. Seriously, this is sad, and feels so cold. As others h

It is kinda funny, right before this whole Facebook thing happened I started trying to explore BGP more. I actually found a really cool guide( https://labs.ripe.net/author/samir_jafferali/build-your-own-... ) from R

At least for me, a big part of my problem with Facebook is both its size and blatant ethical breaches. Obviously most large social networks are guilty of similar problems, but Facebook jump out at me as bad because of how they use informati

Yeah; it sounds like that is maybe the case. Reminds me of the concern around a "dark start" if the power grid goes down where you can't bring up certain power plants because they need power to start.

Interesting; I have been noticing a lot of service are unstable today. I wonder if there is a larger outage.

I did this when I was in high school for fun. I used a poorly designed comment system somebody designed and used it to transfer files around hidden in gibberish comments. Maybe not the most common thing, but more common than you would expec

Not sure how that is marketing to criminals. Looks like they are selling privacy, which is something many people desire, not just criminals.

There is an argument to be made for having some things remain closed, and obscured from public view. If a company/group has an experienced and large internal audit team that reviews systems, and they are building something that is like

This whole thing was the final straw to get me to switch away from iPhone. I decided to get a PinePhone, even though they are not ready for primetime, I am an embedded OS developer by trade, so I figure I might as well give it a go and see

Seriously? For one, this is basically a warrantless search which is illegal (obviously they get around this because Apple is a private company). Also, trusting algorithms for critical things like this is beyond absurd.

Wow, I am surprised Apple is taking this route. It's not like iCloud was a haven for sharing illegal content. I love the security features of iOS but honestly this may have pushed me to move to an Android device running GrapheneOS. Hon

To counter your first point about school vaccination, I live in the US and the state I live in has very few exemptions which also apply to the COVID-19 vaccine. There are religious and medical exemptions, and the religious exemptions are ha

I bought a commercial TV from Samsung because it had basically no smart capability (it has some very limited smart features but they are easily disabled and ignored). I wanted something that would just not get in the way and would let me bo

Yeah; it is kinda weird because in a normal context the wording is okay and makes sense. The problem is really that exfiltration means something specific in computer security. So if you are a security person, you look at the title and you a

I have never heard of MVT (Mobile Verification Toolkit) before this article, but now I may just have to test it out; seems like an interesting project.

It is cheaper than AWS's Casio as a Service and for small sites you barely notice the difference.

This sounds like something out of a Franz Kafka story.
