Lots of tech giants are forcing DoH so their apps can phone home despite safeguards such as pi-hole. There's not a lot that you can do about that (if they are using certificate pinning, which they probably are). You can however do som

I do not understand why more people don't switch to a decentralized DNS such as OpenNIC ( https://www.opennic.org ) Governments have abused their control of DNS. A distributed system (with trust and safeguards) is the better

I've used the LKML to contribute changes, and I'm also an amateur radio operator. I guess that makes me a fossil.

Linux has had the LKML for almost three decades. It still works well for them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_mailing_list

Not directly related to the article, but I've been doing a lot of interesting stuff with WireGuard for the past few years. I've observed some odd behavior by some mobile service providers. Right now I have two permanently deploy

Never visited that shop because I could fix my own stuff, but I am from the area and frequented many other electronics shops. The only one still standing is Torrance Electronics (3 miles away from where Acme was). Torrance Electronics ope

The thing I liked about Aztec C was that they gave you the source code for their libc. You could easily write and integrate your own I/O drivers for stdin and stdout. It really made embedded C development easy.

I was thinking the same thing. You don't get something for nothing. Assuming the water heater is in the conditioned space, it will just make the central heater work harder (and consume more fuel) during the winter months. Maybe this

Interesting writeup here: https://etherealmind.com/ethernet-jumbo-frames-full-duplex-9... It claims that CRC32 is sufficient to detect errors in frames as large as 9000 bytes.

From what I recall, the 1500 number was chosen to minimize the time wasted in the case of a collision. Collisions could happen on the original links because instead of point-to-point links like we have today, they all used the same shared

One possible way to approach this would be to write a simple function generator (square wave) and sweep it across the audio spectrum, while also recording the speaker output level by way of a connected microphone. The resonant frequency of

True. They say "SHOULD NOT" vs. "shall not", but since these are "guidelines" and not "requirements" I think they used the strongest language possible. (Note the capitalization in their FAQ. It&#x2

Perhaps I should have been more clear. It is nonsense to require frequent password changes. NIST explains why in the above citation. It sucks that many USG organizations not only still enforce this, but require their contractors to do so

Perhaps this was the inspiration for Boundary Scan (IEEE-1149.1) also known as JTAG.

The requirement to frequently change a perfectly good password is nonsense. https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-FAQ/#q-b05 It says: SP 800-63B Section 5.1.1.2 paragraph 9 states: “Verifiers SHOULD NOT require memorized secre

I would not categorize the movie as a documentary. There's no narration. The audio is all from the Apollo communications system, except for the music by Brian Eno.

As a white American in Beijing during the 9/11 attacks, I experienced lots of not-so-surprising behavior from my Chinese hosts. Many Chinese felt that America deserved what they got. Tensions were still high from the "Hainan Isl

During my last polygraph (I've had a lot over the years), I was accused by the FBI examiner of being a terrorist. Although we are not supposed to discuss these things, my boss told me later that they had done the same thing to him. T

One thing that many Linux/Unix users do not know is that all commonly used filesystems have a "reserved" amount of space to which only "root" can write. The typical format (mkfs) default is to leave 5% of the disk

I can see the malware/ransomware business really wanting this. It would make it impossible to circumvent or decrypt their warez.
