Many: OS detection (ICMP, IGMP, ARP, TCP, etc.), topology disclosure (ICMP), DoS (many early protocols did not perceive resource exhaustion in their threat model; a prominent example being SYN floods / TCP half-open), etc.

Happy with M4 Mini, although I recommend using a well ventilated M.2 enclosure instead of the integrated docks as I just had a 2TB Kingston die which I'm pretty sure was caused by "zero thermal forks given (chopsticks only)"

Let's not get started on corners of the American internet... ask your favourite AI about "list of historical denial theories with US subscribers, including religious". No doubt longer and more amusing!

In Sydney it has been raining almost non stop for a year. Really odd. Garden loves it, I'm planting non-endemic native (primarily tropical) species from further north along the coast. I expect a snap-back to extreme drought during this

I'm disinclined to agree that identifying you as an Englishman is a personal attack. While your nationality is certainly a shame, it doesn't automatically make you an uninformed zealot with a penchant for airs of authority.

Nonsense is an nor-Englishman declaring correctness on an Australian thread, moreover one involving both botany (the English famously felling theirs), and wine! Stick to your corner and install some air conditioning, mate. The Italians woul

On the subject of flowers, the late Donald was a friend of a family friend who came over one night and after drinking a huge amount of wine decided in a midnight fit of inspiration (when we'd all gone to bed) to rearrange flowers throu

Humans everywhere have those characteristics. Currently, China has substantial control of the supply chain for almost everything. I think you'll find Chinese power remains but the wealth and power distribution internally becomes even m

Clearly Homo idiotensis here is incapable of cultivating a factual ontology that would place it below the 'great apes' as the type species amongst amongst the 'asshole apes'.

Given the author appears to be a 19 year old German girl, UK bureaucrats proxying admin duties for offshore territories are unlikely to be motivated to start an international extradition for what amounts to a helpful tip.

Interesting approach however what's the physical interface for re-enabling when you get back to the machine? If it's a wireless plus socket plus switch thing that's starting to get a bit exotic / high failure mode.

Unless you are building a factory assembly line where a model is literally doing the same thing over and over, you almost always want a general purpose model over a specialized one. Turns out the world is made of simple, specialist proces
