A traditional proxy server is a server and a client. A server to the downstream clients, and a client to the backend servers. Pub-Sub depends on the specific implementation. But anything with an open network socket listening for incoming co

A firewall that fails open sounds like a terrible plan. As far as problems go, an outage is preferable to a breach.

The fact that it is not listening on an incoming network port makes it less of a server IMO. Proxies still proxy things back to another server that is listening for TCP connections, not to a client that has previously initiated a connection

Those are some interesting points. I'm not convinced that versions should be in scope for this sort of thing though. If I'm writing a protocol handler, I think it's my responsibility to make sure my software can update itself

I wasn't clear, I know it's legal today. I'm speculating about what future courts might rule based on the ruling today.

So if Twitter's moderators were supporters of the President and they voluntarily blocked all of his critics, that would be legal?

So is it the fact that a member of government clicked the block button the violation? If it was a President whom the moderators at Twitter supported and they willingly blocked all of this President's critics on his behalf, would that m

The court has ruled that individuals have a First Amendment right to use Twitter to interact with representatives of the federal government. But you can't use Twitter to interact with those representatives if Twitter has banned you.

The court does not consider it. Which means this is open to be considered by future courts. I'm suggesting how this might be argued in front of those courts.

This might have some interesting implications for Twitter's ability to moderate their platform. If the President blocking someone violates the First Amendment, then surely Twitter themselves blocking individuals is also a violation. Wi

I just tested Firefox 67.0.4 and Chromium 75.0.3770.100 on Arch and both have the same behavior. Definitely not something I expected.

Bad behavior for unknown protocols is not a MacOS specific problem. Instead of registering things with Apple, a link to the handler should be included in the protocol link and the OS should send the user there if a handler is not installed.

Or at least force it to be an intentional decision to do it wrong, which go does. Exceptions permit the programmer to be unaware that the function they're calling could throw an exception.

Electron seems to me to be the ideal path for the future. It has some major issues today. But I expect it will get a lot better. Consider the following: Microsoft owns Github and electron. One of the best electron apps is VSCode, a Microsof

There is progress being made on allowing redaction of subdomains in CT logs. https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-strad-trans-redaction-01.htm...

And even if you use encrypted DNS, the domain is still in the clear via SNI. There's an RFC for encrypting SNI, but that's not here yet.

I'm nervous about what this means for the future of nginx's built in load balancing. That's been an important and rock-solid part of my infrastructure.

In the hairy world of Android things are much less certain. Encryption is optional, and root access is available which can be leveraged to backup the unecrypted contents of any app, including Google authenticator. I'll agree, an iPhone

2FA is protection against a lost password. It was never protection against a lost password combined with a stolen device. Think about this scenario. You use Google authenticator on your phone, and have your banking app on your phone. A thie

It's an FTP server, and I don't believe it supports PUT, so there is no editing the files.

I do something similar, but running plasma, replacing kwin with i3. I think a solid desktop environment with a tiling window manager is the best of both worlds.

Very happy to read about the improvements in releasing memory back to the OS. Hopefully this will help prevent our go apps in containers from getting OOM killed.

Companies should be making this easier by giving their users URLs that redirect to cloud services using their company's SSO service. For example, employees access their email on office 365 via https://example.com/email

IPv6 without SNI won't really fix the censorship issue anyway. If you're not using a shared host with SNI The proxy can just query the host at the IP address you're attempting to access and see what it responds with, since th

GOPATH was weird to get used to at first, but I gave in and I actually store all my projects, even non-go projects, in the same folder hierarchy now. It has made me much more organized. In fact here's a zsh function I have for cloning

Let's suppose that it is government's charter to make sure that those who need water get it in a time of emergency. Restricting prices does not do anything to solve that issue. It exacerbates it by removing incentives for the mark

The people who will donate their time, gas and energy to supply water to those who need it will not vanish if we allow prices to fluctuate freely. But we do lose the resources of those who are not willing, or cannot afford, to donate their

FTA: And they compared these women's brains with those of 19 first-time fathers, 17 men without children and 20 women who had never given birth. So the findings seem to be unique to mothers.
