Look at the accounts linked at the bottom of the post. They actually sound real like people whereas you can usually you can spot bots from a mile away.

Clicked on this post because the domain name sounded familiar from the Tor mailing list. I knew you ran a large set of relays but didn't know you were also a pretty extensive contributor over many years! You're definitely smart a

Going through the IPR process will cost half a million and a year of time at least. The filing fees alone are in the tens of thousands. It's unlikely anyone would pursue a case unless thought they had a good chance of winning. Kyle

If you can successfully challenge pharma patents you can get rich by shorting the stock. A hedge fund manager named Kyle Bass tried this with a couple dozen drugs to varying degrees of success. But also, a patent being invalidated doesn&#

Yes, but it'd be nice if there were insights in the comments not present in the original text on these sorts of political articles. I have not seen that lately, and frankly "anything that good hackers would find interesting"

There's still no solution to the fact that everything by design must be mediated by the compositor. The article mentions protocols but they are far from standard. The assumption is basically just that everyone is going to use wlroots

I want to avoid using Wayland for as long as possible. Is there a good way to donate to Xorg and preserving Xorg integration in software? How much would it take to change the GNOME people's mind about Xorg in GTK 5?

That exists, it's called "Linkensphere" and more generally an antidetect browser. They even have a marketplace for browser fingerprint profiles which include language, timezone, user agent, etc. But they're often used

It's cool that you were able to get the data even though it's not perfectly structured. Maybe you'll be the Dun & Bradstreet of Germany :)

Depends on the website, but you don't get always get a recaptcha, so the cost is a lot lower than that. You usually get it if you're exceeding some rate limit or you're doing a sensitive action like registering.

If they were smart and had their own relays it would also make them more likely to be selected proportional to how many other relays they took out. Looking at the number of relays and "bandwidth advertised" graphs on metrics.torp

Tor has something called a consensus that lists all relays and their flags. Clients need this to know which relays to make a circuit with. For most clients, they select a relay labelled as a guard from this file which is where their traff

I don't understand what you're advocating for. Are you against Tor because there was a vulnerability (that has since been mitigated) which led to the deanonymization of users or are you against Tor because there was an illegal se

Satoshi connected to IRC from a residential IP address in Los Angeles in 2009. So there was a point in time where all it would have taken was a subpoena to find him. Now those records probably don't exist. Unless that was a Tor exit

This comment is an example of why people are hesitant to publicly do good things. If a company donates to open source and writes a blog post about it, but it's not "enough," then they get a bunch of hate. If they never dona

But transmission losses would be large. There's 3-5% loss per 1000 km. Most countries don't have a power surplus to begin with so they are probably not going to start exporting what they do have to Americans.

This is cool but would be even cooler if it could do code similarity search. The cost would probably be prohibitively high though unless you only did like 10000 repos. https://github.com/microsoft/CodeBERT/tree&#x

Is it good? I really liked Wittgenstein's Vienna, but I haven’t read anything else about the era so I don’t have much basis of comparison. Tempted to work on my German so I can understand Karl Kraus though.

The new Cloudflare captcha has changed this and it's a lot better now. There's no more Recaptcha hell. I read the Ben Collier book about Tor recently and in his interviews he found that some Tor contributors actually feel the op
