OK, I admit, I'm intellectually entirely dishonest. You have a great life!

Hey, s1mplicissimus, hope you are well! Dud(ett)e, it's a message board comment, not a scientific study. But do you really doubt that most ISPs will gladly disable your 1Gb/s home-slash-SMB connection for the rest of the month in

> total mass of sites where you consider most being better off using cloudflare? Most. A lot of simple sites are hosted at providers that will be taken down themselves by run-of-the-mill DDOS attacks. So, what will such providers do whe

by ZeroConcerns 11mo ago
Most sustained DDOS attacks will cause your hosting provider to drop you. Sure, you can recover from that in 72 hours or so, but that's not as simple as "turning on Cloudflare" at that point. Seriously: having someone in char

I think the UK should do a HeadExit, where they refuse any bulbs manufactured after 1972 or so (maybe 1974 bulbs are still acceptable, I don't know man , can anyone run a quick A/B test?). I'm pretty sure that, like "ta

Fun fact: a whole bunch of local (as opposed to global: the distinction here is important) Cloudflare-related outages were caused by exactly this thinking: see https://blog.cloudflare.com/going-bgp-zombie-hunting/ and

Well, yeah, as they say on Wikipedia: {{Citation Needed}} Can AI-as-it-currently-is save FTEs? Sure: but, again, there's a template for that: {{How Many}} -- 1% of your org chart? 10%? In my case it's around 0.5% right now. Or,

Interesting article! One thing that made me literally LOL was the fact that several exploits were enabled via a Google "style recommendation" that caused on-heap length fields to be signed and thus subject to sign-extension attack

Well, the reason for the replacement seems pretty obvious: they're shipping new features on the web that aren't matched by the native client, and apparently that was just too hard to update for a multibillion AI-powered behemo

I just upgraded the internal storage of my Lenovo T14 (AMD, Gen6) to 4TB, and that took all of 5 minutes. And that laptop was definitely made in 2025, although I agree that consumer sentiment overwhelmingly favors models that are less conve

I don't have any particular opinion on TP-Link (never used their products), but the idea that a low-cost vendor targeting home and SMB users is somehow a state-level agent trying to compromise those users... needs evidence. I mean, in

Yeah, well, that seems entirely unsurprising. Despite nominally being "on the Microsoft platform", I don't see many results from their "AI strategy", and what I do see is entirely underwhelming: -The Copilot key on

Yes, simpler times and such. And I get the feeling someone is about to discover RFC 864, which is even more fun (as in: a DDOS amplification vector of note, but this stuff actually was useful for a while...)
