I'm assuming you're using a stateful packet filter when you're talking about this? Otherwise you'll break all kinds of stuff. CISO's care about security but you'll find that most developers/users do not at

Might want to rebrand since FreeBSD's "portmaster" has been in use for decades at this point. https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/ports-mgmt/portmaster

Having used both, I'd rather use the FreeBSD utilities :)

Correct, "portmaster" and "mergemaster" are widely used.

Amsterdam is not the United States. There is no legitimate comparason between the two. When people create the problem by obliviously walking out into the street or if they're on a bicycle being reckless - cars are not the problem.

You have not been to San Francisco.

Pedestrians are always oblivious.

This is false. Buses and Trains in my city are dangerous and are rarely on time.

Or keep people away from cars.

Thats a bit of a specious argument because we're mostly talking about big cities. If you walk in the designated areas there is no way you'd be legally confined anywhere.

Because Cars are how the elderly and disabled get around? Cars are safer and more convenient than any public transportation for most of the world. Humans interrupt traffic in my city far more than cars do. Cars are easily contained, humans

No matter how safe you make a car when a 3000lb vehicle hits a 100-200lb human at any speed, the human loses. Cars are not the problem.

Yes, we do. They're 95% of the problem in my city (San Francisco).

This article is a bit backwards - the number of pedestrians walking in front of vehicles is much higher than vehicles being at fault for hitting pedestrians. We need to reintroduce the concept of pedestrians and cyclists being mindful of wh

It is and the Mayor is going to accelerate re-funding the police after decades of being underfunded. The DA has prosecuted a fraction of the crimes compared to prior years as well. Part of the problem is right now that SFPD is stretched too

by bifrost 5y ago
Actually reporting the crime is a good start. We had 3000 car breakins last month in the 7mx7m city of San Francisco. Thats an incredible high and it coincides with a lack of prosecution. The DA is also responsible for improper stats keepin

I actually really like what you're saying. As someone who's pointed 10's if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to open source projects, blaming lawyers is unfortunately not the solution either. Companies have budgeting and

You don't want to know the answer to this question. I'm totally serious too.

OOooo! I love it! I've been a PG user for... a very long time. The fact it supports inet datatypes just makes me swoon TBH.

Does sound like you know him better than I do :) Back in the early 2000s I was the guy helping sort out John's open email relay complaints at my ISP. A few other random things too. We hosted the EFF and Internet Archive so my life was

John is entirely unlike RMS if you've ever met either of them.

Eh, people paying taxes are not why taxes are high nor why they get raised regularly for no good reason...

Yep, with FB and IG down, people spending time on a much more important site.... This site.

No. But FB's DNS is anycasted. FB's eggs were all in one basket, and the basket broke.

Early ad companies didn't collect a ton of information and relied on clickthrough ratio to make money, I worked for one of the biggest in the late 90s. As time went on, people wanted more and more user data, click bots made targeting e

Indeed. Unfortunately there are huge moves to decreasing privacy going through the legislatures and via ad/social technologies. You'd basically have to leave everything behind and start over, change your name, move and leave no fo

I admire your social media asceticism. I've been somewhat careful about what I put on social media, moreso lately, but I think you have really good points about this. I've been somewhat Anti-Google for a while but explaining why t

If you follow him, he has quite a few things to say about this. Frankly he's one of the most unique people I've ever met.
