What plan are these on? I use them and I don't recall either a VM or any dedicated server match those specs (20T, or 1G unmetered, respectively)

They're making some seriously questionable allocations, for example nearly /9 or /10 of v4 to a Hong Kong company that has zero connections to anything in the Afrinic region, that appears to almost all be announced in Los Ang

Some feedback/q's: - Your last two bullet points for 'what we do not allow' is missing newlines ( https://www.wifimask.com/terms ) - You load a number of JS files from third party CDNs including Cloudflare

I believe Germany is the 'big transit upstream' of Iran. I haven't found UAE to really be a genuine hub with IXs, it seems like every incumbent ISP/UAE ISP will have 'selective' peering, refuse to be on the rou

Last I checked, Iran effectively requires all public connectivity to go through one of its state-owned ISPs (via BGP) - you can see routing for these yourself, virtually every single AS assigned to Iran will be upstreamed by Telecommunica

You don't need to collect everything; can just use unique landing pages, log a hit, and for signup include a specific campaign key (like "hn-spam-upvoted-190530") in the <form> and you more or less get a funnel without

Imgur is (IMO) turning into the same thing. Banning direct links, forcefully redirecting direct linked images to their ad packed pages of mostly stolen content.

It's basically a spam blog that hijacks inbound referrers from search engines to throw up full page sign in screens and nothing else. The vast majority of it is effectively stolen and rehosted content.

Even on HN I've pleasantly told people to please disclose affiliate links (that I've only found out about because I click them and uBlock blocks the page from loading completely due to malicious amounts of tracking scripts) and pe

I'm curious how untargetted they are - if I'm searching for python, how untargetted is a python book ad? I'd be more inclined to purchase that rather than a remarketing adroll targetted ad that's just spewing me the same

The carrier's contract with the manufacturer or something explicitly demands that the manufacturer not unlock the bootloader.

I've bought a handful of used HTC devices in the past. Only "real" HTC devices are go to dev page and unlock. If they've been through a carrier that isn't T-Mobile, it's very likely permanently not unlockable.

Sendy has some massive problems with code quality and always had. The last time I took a look at it (because I needed to send emails), it was quite horrendous. I would not be surprised if it was insecure - was literally a "nooooooope&q

I get sub-2 to 3 Mbps speeds on a postpaid business-type T-Mobile plan due to congestion/oversubscription. This is not in a rural wasteland, but in a major tech urban city. Verizon and AT&T do just as badly, but not nearly as much

Can you explain why? I am not German but I have fairly significant amount of infrastructure colo'd in Germany - DTAG/T-Mobile/T-Online/whatever is obnoxiously bad. They refuse to peer with neighbouring networks, they hol

Curiosity: why do you want this in JSON? If you already have explicit schemas in mind, why not use some packed schema-based representation that ends up being more compact? Alternatively, what is stopping you from just adding a JSON Schema k

In [1] it's even worse that you have Gitlab's "VP of Legal" and "Director of Global Risk and Compliance" chasing after the CFO's comments telling him that's illegal. That seems kind of messed up to an

Why would you give your credit card to a random, uncredentialed person on the street just because they claim to help animals?

Basically the same ones, yeah. Donating through them harms whatever cause you're trying to help.

The charity people here border on harassment, have card readers, physically try to stop you or block you, and apparently none of what you donate actually goes to the charity, it's mostly paid out in commissions to rent seekers.

I think it's very device dependent sincem ost OEMs ship some kind of non-native shit UI on top, but my Android phone has a slider (hardware) on the side of the phone like an iPhone to toggle between this.
