That's great! Good find, thanks. The website mentions an interesting solution to the streaming media problem: "Keep your existing router and run both networks simultaneously. Connect to your Easy VPN Router when you need safety&qu

Sure, but there's a cost to exercise that right. Right now, the cost of protecting myself from my ISP is quite high. I need to maintain DNS and VPN settings for every device in my home... many of which are personal devices of other f

I want a privacy first router. Does such a product exist? Key features: - I pay a subscription for maintenance (so I'm not the product) say $10/mo - Automatically routes all traffic over a VPN. - Smart VPN bypass for per

I use a VPN, but I have to turn it on for each device. Is there a good way to set up my router to automatically push all traffic through a VPN? I'd probably need to make exceptions for stuff like video traffic.

I need a tutorial on setting up privacy protections against an ISP. Any recommendations?

Exactly! Viewed by the capitalist system, these communities are useless. People hate feeling useless, even if you give them everything they need to live (the Democrat's solution) So, how do you make economically irrelevant communities

I know a lot of people with a similar story: born in a rural area, had the good fortune to be pointed in the right direction, worked hard, escaped to a good life in a city far from where they grew up. This is held up as the model for succes

Perhaps "lazy," "childish" or "naive" are more accurate words. Current policies are designed around bluster / posturing rather than effectiveness.

Yeah, particularly because the specific HTML that causes the problem is known. If you have perfect information about what resources were requested when, you can look for a spike in queries for vulnerable resources. Once you see that, you kn

I've heard that the satellite facilities are a separate culture from the engineering staff. Operations has its own problems, but the engineering staff is much worse.

They idea is to make use of unused storage capacity in existing machines, rather than standing up new ones just for Storj. The electrical cost should be minimal if your computer already stays on most of the time. That said, I haven't s

I wonder how that would work with key rotation. Those chat services do a lot of key management for you during a conversation, while Keybase is more focused on long-lived keys.

OK, so say you do that. What advantages do you think you could realize through this ground up rewrite?

Random question since you're elbow deep in VST land... Have you seen any plugins taking advantage of GPUs? Seems like they should open up sonic complexity that you can't replicate on current hardware synths.

I had a lot of problems with Yubico Authenticator. Wound up switching back to a generic app.
