   I can KVM into it with a Lantronix Spider. I have dozens of them, and none of them have shown to be anything other than a physical machine; I can set up RAID myself, all the hardware data is passed through (there are no hypervisor layers in

   Yes. The API call is here: https://robot.your-server.de/doc/webservice/en.html#get-orde... The thing is that most baremetal hosts are exactly as the parent described - annoyingly slow, manual, etc. Hetzner is a li

   I use the host he mentioned - they have an API, and my average time to deploy a baremetal physical machine is under 60 seconds via API. They don't really do custom specs, iirc part of the low pricing is because of how much useful autom

   Mumble uses TLS for everyone and every connection. Is this allowed per Part 97?

   I have not had fun with DTAG - they seem to adamantly refuse to peer like most other networks and demand additional cost for bandwidth requested by their users..

   Does that really work? If it was me doing this (NB: I would hate this as a user): I would retrieve the signed token from Google server-side, check whether it's true or false, and remotely lock out the account so it can't be signed

   Virtually every banking app on Android tries to detect rooted devices as much as possible and many suspend your online banking access if they find one..

   For almost everyone in the US, is it not true that "claim for medicine is covered under the plan rules" being denied is effectively "you are not getting this medication"?

    The sliders you generally see in the US tend to be just setting a field to true or 1. The sliders in China are doing more than the same amount of fingerprinting if not more than recaptcha, port scan your local device from your browser, and

    I would be unsurprised if Instagram was collecting a lot more than just this, but the web-login for Facebook used to use websockets to portscan VNC/RDP/etc ports on localhost in addition to all the fingerprinting and enumeration,

    There are multiple sites that will block your access completely if they detect an ad blocker - that isn't ad related. I contribute to the EasyPrivacy list a bit, and there are a number of sites that do massive device fingerprinting, lo

    Market rate is 60-90 million. $25+/IP is reasonable given that it's a contiguous block, legacy, etc.

    Yeah. There's been numerous cases of people just grabbing a stolen credit card and getting a botnet to attack sites with.

    To be clear, I don't particularly believe that the founder(s) of scihub are the ones purchasing hacked credentials nor do they really know or condone that they are. However I do expect that quite a lot of the ones in use for scraping a

    I don't believe it is particularly pristine. At least in my corner of academia, everyone generally knows that it is black market as hell but they need to get their work done... I would be somewhat unsurprised if they (probably not dire

    I do not use social media myself, but I saw that story as it was posted here. I get the feeling that there was some bad behaviour in that particular case (while Kardashian at least has some humans). The t-shirt account can't get past 2

    In this case, the u/p needs to be sent along with the request - which means it needs to be asked for by the browser before the request to the site is ever sent..

    There are multiple unmarked affiliate links, and you don't know about this until the very end. I find it at least mildly scummy. A minimum of some form of (affiliate) next to each one would be nice. The FTC also does not like this beha

    I find it interesting that the author of this blog post does not openly disclose that they write/own a service that effectively does mass mailing, scraping, bruteforcing of email.
