I'm mostly thinking that the awful box is required because then your TV provider can sell data about what you watch.

Networks are supposed to do egress filtering to prevent any packets with fake IPs from ever leaving the network. In practice it's not always so, but it mostly is. So you'd be limited to fake IP addresses in your own network, and d

Windows 7 was better IMHO: clear interface, and less buggy than Vista.

Well, everything in the article (names & places) seems to point out the author is Italian...

Very true. Had a somewhat similar experience while being offline in trains for some hours at a time.

Switzerland in my case -- but it works with a US VPN ;-)

by ale42 9mo ago
Same for me. Maybe they just want US IP addresses?

The list also includes astatine, which (although a real element) has basically no use, is highly radioactive and only exists for a few hours before becoming either polonium or bismuth. And of course, you can't mine it because there are

I guess the comment was just about how much Asterisk deployments are out there because you can often hear its default music-on-hold? But maybe I'm wrong.

Yes they do use DRM. I know they are using Widevine on the web player, but possibly other ones too (never looked very far). Not sure for the app, it might be that it is using OGG streams with a custom DRM (which is probably the one some exi

> using 64-bit numbers, which is exactly the right solution On a 64-bit platform, sure. When you're working on ring buffers with an 8-bit microcontroller, using 64-bit numbers would be such an overhead that nobody would even think o

IMHO you do not need "active" IPv6. Most LANs (unless you have some switch-level filtering that blocks router advertisements from "unauthorized" nodes) can transport such IPv6 packets. Then it just takes being connected

Why, is IPv6 activation manual in FreeBSD?

Cops are working for the public and should be accountable for what they do. Exposing what cops do is not problematic, except maybe in some specific cases like a cop infiltrating some drug-dealer network.

It sounds great until someone starts abusing. And the room for abuse seem very ample in such a case.

> Hosting a server locally, easily, on the infected PC, that can expose data under a specific address is (to my understanding) the holy grail of exfiltration; you just connect to it and it gives you the data, instead of having to worry m

I'm waiting for restaurants I can telnet into to get the menu (because SSH is too heavy).

Exercise for readers: add IPv6 support ;-)

True, but at this point you're basically doing Windows-on-Linux-on-Windows. But why not anyway... applications will anyway run way faster than on the hardware they were originally thought for.

TBH it also reduces the usefulness of the features a lot. If I first have to contact people on another channel to tell them to enable this feature because I want to message them, well, I guess most people wont just do it.

Do you mean winevdm? https://github.com/otya128/winevdm Wine itself doesn't run on Windows AFAIK.

Well, it's not that the latest Office is that much different in this sense... just open Word, add a tab stop, double-click on it and you get a dialog box that probably was almost identical in Word 6 on Windows 3.1. Not that it looks ba

In the days of Electron bloatware, it's refreshing to see a program that is so light in terms of size. Unfortunately, at least on a 4K screen, the interface is a bit laggy and it uses a lot of CPU.

Maybe it's "portable" in the sense that it's just an executable to launch, with no installation needed? I don't think they claim it is multi-platform.

Yes, indeed, I wouldn't have expected to be possible to enumerate all of them in a short time from a single IP.
