So we should just declare wireless done and never change it again?

So, your alternative is to do nothing. That's a valid alternative. My experience, however, is that the web is clogged up with slow, painful to use web pages. Despite AMP's short comings, I do know that when I click on an AMP page,

I'm not sure that is really logical. The odds of winning are the same regardless of if it $400m you can win or $20m. However, the effect on your life would be basically the same in either case. To be fair, I do much the same thing. But

The title is misleading - it makes it sound like this is a description of how anycast works. However, this appears to be a proposal for how anycast could be implemented. But, its not clear to me that it's actually implemented this way

Oh yeah, the thermostats in offices totally shouldn't work - that would be maddening as everyone fought over temperature. I'd just rather have nothing at all than something which both pretends to do something while also making it

Oh dear - no HTTPS on that page. But, it does host a store section that lets you add stuff to your cart and then click a checkout button. That button takes you to PayPal (unless an attacker re-directed you elsewhere). Its not clear to me th

The fake thermostat is the most frustrating example and tends to make me angrier than anything else. The problem is, fake thermostats tend to tell you what the temperature is. And no matter what you set them to, which has no effect, they co

Saying something is an action. If not, I guess someone like Martin Luther King Jr. did just about nothing with his life. Screaming fire in a crowded theater is also an action. You can't just redefine words.

One thing he did was create a tremendously interesting OS. Another thing he did was to say a bunch of racist stuff. There is no evidence I'm aware of he regretted either. So yes, let's remember _all_ of it.

His behavior was appalling. The reasons behind it were tragic. How can we pretend that either of those things aren't true?

It is his project. It's his legacy. I don't see how you can separate him from what he created - I never got the feeling that he wanted anyone to - so why should we? History is what it is - let's recognize that and look at the

The Stephen Hawking comparison is way off. His condition effected just himself. Terry Davis said some pretty terrible things aimed at actual people. He tried to hurt real people - Hawking didn't. That is a factual statement. Im sure he

Ipv6 defined "privacy extensions" to combat this very thing - and most operating systems use it by default. The idea is that devices generate random addresses instead of just using the device Mac address. I can't say how well

While the game is great, I find the random card dynamic of the card packs pretty troubling. There is no legitimate gameplay reason why you can't just buy the cards you want for a flat rate.

Its reasonable not to trust your ISP. However, the majority of VPN services seem remarkably less trust worthy.

Genuinely curious - how is it hard to avoid a VPN? Can't you just not use one?

by dagenix 8y ago
A corporate VPN makes sense. Using an untrusted VPN to do something like tunnel an HTTPS connection to get around geo-blocking makes sense. Using a paid VPN to protect ones privacy, has never made any sense to me. The vast majority of those

Its great to see modern takes on classic UNIX tools, such as this, ripgrep, and others. I'm very curious to see if anyone ever gets around to writing a new twist of `dd`.
