This thread is tending towards flamewar so I'll try to dial back, but I do want to respond. > You are being manipulative an trying to make it look that people who disagree with you are somehow pro-child abuse. I am not doing that.

I'm confused by what you mean by "morality" here. The only moral position that I am communicating is that child sexual abuse is a real thing that really happens, and it is bad for both the individual and for society. That&#x2

Conceptually, there is no special difference between a remotely exploitable vulnerability in an HTTP server and a remotely exploitable vulnerability in a BGP router. It would have been theoretically possible to have dealt with log4shell by

I am aware that network operators have behaved this way for very many years. The point I am making is that all of the IT industry used to attempt to "work around" security vulnerabilities in the same way, until log4shell and all

I can't understand it. The network operators should save their vitriol for the vendors who are selling them equipment that sucks, and for whoever in their own organisation is continuing to purchase equipment that sucks. Bitching at r

Rather than separating the conductors more quickly, wouldn't it be preferable to replace the space they occupied with a material in which arcs cannot form? Or is this a cost/risk thing? e.g. I know SF_6 is sometimes used for this

Modern science seems to have gotten a lot of pretty interesting information from studying mummies. Here's one example from a very quick Google search [1]. Who's to say that future scientists won't find studying these modern-d

No, but if you can find a strong enough magnet then it might be possible to levitate one using diamagnetism. Big magnet, though. One estimate [1] puts it on the order of 10T. That's a lot of engineering just to play a Dracula prank on

Even if you could, the problem would come when you wanted to establish a data connection with the remote end. Assuming "except for DNS traffic" actually means "except for packets on the well-known port for DNS" then you

Ah, that's the missing punchline: you had ambitions to be something else other than an engineer, and you (quite correctly) recognised that you were never going to grow your wider skills at such a place. For someone who had wanted to st

Google is, to a first approximation, the web's only search engine. As such I think there's an argument to be made that declaring your bot's User-Agent as Googlebot is a technical necessity, similar to how every browser declar

Not just docker, either. If you configure a NodePort on your kubernetes cluster, you'll run into exactly the same issue: ufw-sourced iptables rules are overriden by kubernetes-sourced rules. Here's the only fix I was able to find,

The prices are absurdly high if your use-case is storage of large volumes of data that regularly change. It wouldn't be sensible to use Tarsnap for that, and you probably want to use one of the bulk backup services instead. Tarsnap mak
