I was surprised too, but if you look at the timelines then RST_STREAM seems to have been present in early versions of SPDY, and SPDY seems mostly to have been designed around 2009. Attacks like Slowloris were coming out at about the same ti

You have that exactly backwards: if someone is hitting you with a password bruteforce from a single IP address (which is the only threat that fail2ban mitigates) then it is assuredly nothing personal at all . A personal insult, if you are

As far as I can tell, the story here is that 1. the person tasked with introducing an author talked more about her own initiative (getting people to read more) than the author; 2. the person was criticised for this; and 3. the author wants

Tor suffered an extended DDoS for a period of almost a year: https://status.torproject.org/issues/2022-06-09-network-ddos... Whilst the DDoS was ongoing, Tor was quite slow.

If you read all the text, it seems like the entire repo is intended to be a satire on https://github.com/tc39/proposal-pipeline-operator .

Who is the evil bond villain behind this dastardly plan, exactly? The UK government has made the practicalities of everyday life extremely miserable through a combination of (a) ham-fisted political decisions (Brexit referendum held for par

Lack of comments is a massive issue for JSON as a config format. Making keys verbose tells you what a thing is, but comments are there to tell you why a thing is. The only real way around this seems to be to create some kind of a "_c

Johnny Cash spent much of the 1950s and 1960s addicted to alcohol, barbiturates and amphetamines. Whilst we should assume he was probably familiar with contemporary work on finding shortest paths in weighted graphs, and almost certainly rea

If we boldly link market cap and individual net worth, then this is like someone with a net worth of $1m being fined 12 cents per day. From Meta's point of view, what makes this more than just an additional tax?

Yep. From the report: At 0832 both systems failed and the controllers started to empty the four-hour buffer. At 1100, systems still weren't back and so to avoid the hard cutover that looked to be coming at at 1230, they began the switc

Thank you for this. It all makes a lot more sense now.

OK, that makes sense. And understood on route vs position. But wouldn't your design still require additional complexity in the system? It would need to keep track of all bad flight plans, and also keep a database of the status of those

by gnfargbl 3y ago
I don't know anything about ATC systems. Why should it be possible to continue when a single flight plan is wrong? Naïvely it sounds like having even a single plane in an unknown position would make safe automated control impossible. I

FWIW, I don't think you should worry too much. I'm not at all familiar with the Italian justice system, but it's hard to imagine that anyone is going to investigate this case unless the injured party complains -- which they a

This is well-meant, but the author seems to be based in Italy, and this is illegal in Italy [1]. I know how tempting it is to retaliate against these people, but you have to stay on the right side of the law. If you choose not to stay on th

Oh, "jackpot" was just a figure of speech, I didn't intend to imply any particular probability. Not sure what the chance of finding sensitive information in the private files of an engineer is, but I would guess a lot better

Human energy use isn't going to continue to grow exponentially for the next 500 years. The world population is predicted to peak about 30% above where it is now and then fall back -- maybe to 7 billion people sustained. We seem to need

Education is essential if we want to give children a chance at social mobility. Traditional schools have their problems, including those you list, but at least children taught in them can get some qualifications, and those qualifications gi

This is the first time I have heard of the Cagots. It's fascinating to think that there were untouchables in Europe until relatively recently. This is an interesting article on Cagots from the 1880s: https://zenodo.org/

Rule 7 (don't use leverage) really needs some additional clarification. If you're borrowing money using a mortgage in order to invest in stocks, that's probably not particularly smart. If you're taking on debt financing

I don't see the conflict. If it important that the device can prove its authenticity to some centralised service then yes, it is likely that the consumer can't also modify that device. But how many devices really need that level

I checked, and they can move vehicles in a situation where failing to act could cause "one or more individuals to die, be seriously injured or become seriously ill."

In New York, sure. In Salisbury? I'm not even sure the fire engines are equipped for that kind of activity, and I'm almost certain the fire service isn't prepared for the liability.

It's completely reasonable to ask for evidence. Don't apologise for asking! I'm not part of any state, and I don't have access to any special knowledge that you can't find on the internet. I'm also not aware of

Yeah, but that makes sense -- it's a shorthand for "the IP address 192.254.33.12 which is in the /16 subnet".

> one giant network of 10.2.0.0/8 Huh? Do they mean 10.0.0.0/8, or 10.2.0.0/16 (/15 would also work), or is this a new CIDR notation? Something specific to AWS, maybe?
