It's frankly infuriating when you get generic responses from someone who has no internal systems access, means to address the problem, or ability to escalate to an engineer. Often these purported super users reply with silly generic su

I'm pretty much the NetBSD people focus on building to as many system architectures as possible (slogan: "of course it runs NetBSD!). OpenBSD is focused on system security. It's understandable why they take different approach

Most likely related to BGP, they probably made an erroneous change leading to routing errors. These things are hard to fix and have been known to happen in big tech. You can see a flood of BGP announcements the time it started: https:&#x2F

When you play online on this locked down device, you usually end up crossplaying with PC players who have the ability to run exploits, making any anti-hacking arguments baseless. Turn off crossplay and you don't find games with reasona

Yikes , that's embarrassing for me. Thanks. I had checked the link but I didn't notice the post was 2002 as opposed to 2022.

>Theo states that there are only 7000 users of OpenBSD. While he's certainly in a position to give this estimate, I'm curious to know the factual basis of this opinion. That's a shockingly low statistic.

I fear such a service may simply tread the same path as Wikia. Also, any hosting platform has to balance user control over extensions and customisations, on the one hand, with system reliability on the other. You can't easily delegate

Mullvad looks like one of of the best VPN providers out there. However the use of a customised Linux Kernel and Ubuntu distribution gives pause for thought. Are they going to be able to integrate security patches quickly? Wouldn't it b

Just to be clear, that's not my description. It's filed description on the trade mark.

Very odd indeed. In Australia, government departments almost always use .gov.au unless there are exceptional reasons. In the States, it is .[state].gov.au, eg .nsw.gov.au.

Can't login either. Even after taking into account Hanlon's razor, I'd speculate someone has maliciously changed the password after logging in. Demo instances need to have really short reset periods - minutes or so, or altern

I read this as: could your personal blog successfully be shared on the front page of HN without being hugged to death?

I'm not sure that's fair. The HN site guidelines encourage the submission of Anything that good hackers would find interesting . This is quite interesting, and the guidelines also suggest assuming good faith as to other's in

Oh right, thanks for clarifying that.

My work uses Microsoft SSO for everything. Passkeys aren't enabled though. And management won't enable them on Azure AD. Instead, they enable the tried and tested and ultra secure method of SMS based 2FA with a password. (This is

This makes sense. If the IRS had concluded a taxpayer owed a tax debt, and had to give notice every time it summonsed an entity for information in order to trace the assets, the taxpayer could just move their assets elsewhere in an endless

I've only really looked into the case involving “Thinking Out Loud” and Marvin Gaye's song, “Let's Get It On". I'm not music buff, but when you listen to them, they are completely different. There is no similarity a

Presumably they are using some form of IP address geolocation. If that's as inaccurate in the USA as it is in Australia, they're going to have problems - a lot of the time it puts me in the wrong State.

You can use an audio alternative with ReCAPTCHA. I'm as critical of ReCAPTCHA as the next HN user, but their audio version is actually reasonable compared to the alternatives out there. It plays sensible and seemingly real audio (I&#x2

To be fair, it might not be possible for us to know why they did it with much certainty. My initial speculation was that it was a way of clearly avoiding any hint of flirtation or sexual interest (sort of like an extreme form of boundary-

Apple stood up against carrier customisation. No custom firmware, boot logos, or pre-installed bloatware. Upgrades occurred when Apple was ready to release them, not years later than carriers had finished their "testing". This was

If someone asked ChatGPT to generate some code, then copy and pasted it mindlessly into their project, I wonder what OpenAI would think about the claim: "The bug was a result of faulty code produced by ChatGPT." Using an open so

Sure, I was only giving one example to counter the claim, which is not to say there aren't other examples.

There are contexts where it does matter. For instance, plagiarism detection at schools.
