They are really only private if you design it that way. There are numerous ways you could have access to those private parts of your bashrc, but still make the actual bashrc public. That's coming from my kubernetes background though,

Okay. Or, hear me out. On a scale from 0-100, you have very cold and very hot. Or you’ve got from 0-45. Where 0 is “meh” cold and 45 is incredibly warm. So you’ve got a nice little 0-100 scale that all humans are going to experience just li

I used to love cordless. I could be on an old Sparc machine or even DOS on a 486 and access Discord. Unfortunately the only thing alternative clients for are good for now is getting banned.

I'd argue many creators are this way. Nobody is ever going to approach a piece of art the same way. Unless you are a narcissist (probable billionare) who feels the need to go back and explain every detail about the wizarding world you

> kept on sending packets to some weird ip address at boot. You mean an RFC1918 for etherboot? I have a "few" of these devices and this simply doesn't make any sense in any context.

Unfortunately, there’s just not a driving business force to do it. The 2030 flag day for ipv4 is just a dream.

You want to talk about spooky campfire stories? Let’s have another OpenSSL/ssl zero day. The point is it takes a script kiddy about 5 minutes to scan the whole 4 billion IPs for your port 22 server. It takes about 90 seconds for the f

I don’t agree. Because the minute you change the port, you just become of more interest. As you said, only the low effort bots scan the standard ports. But venture anywhere off the beaten path, and a place like shodan is the most benevolent

It’s a nice thought but… Nobody is tracking 48 bits out of 128 bits and tying that to a specific user. Pretty simple browser fingerprinting will get you much closer. Not to mention that you know MAC addresses aren’t unique right. They only

You don't consider an IP address when blocking traffic. Whether IPv4 or IPv6, it's trivially easy to grab a new one. And unless you are willing to start blocking huge swathes of the world and ultimately legitimate traffic, you do

What part isn't quite true? What you are talking about is RFC 4862. The SLAAC part of ipv6, which is auto-configuration. What I am talking about is RFC 4941: Privacy Extensions for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration in IPv6 Which is
