Just wondering, which continent are you located in? Does your company tell its' employees about their Orwellian policies upfront when hiring, or is it a public secret? How do you deal with encrypted traffic, e.g. https? Some companies

NordVPN owners are weird, their side businesses are shady, but the VPN is completely legit.

How is this news for anyone? Also, as not to just leave a negative comment, I've been collecting media ever since cd ripping became a thing. I've "invested" maybe a couple of thousands of dollars into HDDs, SSDs and dedi

Point 1: spf, dkim, dmarc is enough to get yourself neutral with gmail. You have to do it from get-go tho, before you tarnish your reputation. Being in DNSBL lists does not help either. Set up proper reverse dns entries also. Tls is complet

Using configurations that provide redundancy is quite trivial. Also, what is the point of having several nines of SLA on a mailserver? Emails get retried a number of times before they are considered undeliverable.

That's FUD. If a system is correctly set up, you'll have no deliverability issues. Edit: srsly guys, HACKER news people say that it's impossible for a person to have a proper mailserver set up? That's hilarious, if not s

I am my own provider. It's really not that hard to configure a mail server. Other peoples' providers, however... so I tried using PGP. It's somehow manages to be more difficult to use than configuring and running your own mai

All i'm saying is that i liked your short vision of a possible reality, and i'd love to read even a short story about it. Hell, i'd _write_ a short story about it, although i doubt my english is good enough for anything beyon

I have been smoking for some ten years, and a few years back i started becoming afraid of getting high. It's no help that my country is ridiculously behind the times - you can get up to eight years in prison just for having cannabis on

Well it's kind of like driving a car with plates. It can identify you, but there's only so much risk.

From the lightpaper presented, it seems to me, it's just tor with cryptocurrency. Am I misreading it and would you be so kind as to provide an executive summary why would one choose Force over good ole Tor?

Hey now. The title is absolute clickbait. WHO does not say video games are "digital heroin". There is a single reference to heroin in the beginning of the article: "Watching as a video game ensnares their child, many a parent

Keyword being hypothical though. If there's a study where genetics are controlled, we could then talk about causation. Before that we both have an opinion at best.

People made copies of "forbidden" material on x-ray photos. There was samisdat (underground press). There were anticommunist anecdotes told at night in soviet kitchens. And somehow these people managed to do that without explicit

The fight is far from over. We still have crypto. If that is outlawed, we'll have steganography. When that's outlawed, well, we'll still have sneakers. Iron curtain and Stalins' organs failed. Stasi failed. War on drugs

Well "replace" sounds very serious; but in fact iproute2 has been here long enough to have replaced stuff already. I didn't really consider myself to be a "grumpy old admin", but now I do, having used ip a lot back

Well it seems you're on your own here. Your situation is rather specific in terms of circumstance, yet too vague to predict. What is the culture of your company? Do you have any leverage, political or otherwise, e.g. you work on missio
