By invalid you mean not covering defendant's systems? Overly specific claims are signs of patent's quality and probable issues, but they don't necessarily make it invalid.

FOSS driver and open firmware are separate issues. Binary drivers executing on the CPU are a no-go for me. OTOH, I consider device firmware blobs user(OS)-loaded on power-on to be strictly safer than a stored blob, though less convenient in

Perhaps. Perhaps not. As a thought experiment: How long would it be safe to go without browser updates with a browser of complexity/capabilies of links, if 50% of people used it? With many people combing through it, would it become eff

Firefox, chrome, linux ... all are full of unnecessary complexity. The point being - we need daily patches to keep it from falling apart. I have links (or lynx) on an old SuSE, maybe even a Mandriva CD. Would they be massively pwnable?

Under GDPR you can use all the PII you reasonably need to provide expected services, you don't even need separate consent. But, if you have PII, the moment you use it for other purposes, or obtain/retain/share without proper

When can we expect interface and/or ip binding, and possibility to disable roaming? IMHO roaming should be opt-in iif you specify the remote endpoint.

Not OP. I do not have issues with WireGuard's cryptography. I do have issues with wireguard's security - things like silently accepting invalid configuration, changing one peer can silently affect another (only avoided via exter

Typical session tokens shouldn't be valid for days, months or even years, unlike a straightforward wireguard setup.

By sessions, do you mean the key agreement/initiation protocol, that is re-run every 2 or so minutes (with the keys having moderately overlapping validity)?

Did he actually use DMCA? AFAIK Youtube has it's own system and doesn't typically deal with DMCA. If you are required to do something by law, you can't just ignore (bad cases of) it, and call it case closed.

I don't think it works that way. They need to actually agree, use it, and you can't switch every day.

I have feeling that internet infrastructure material and energy costs for a anycast IP/site would dwarf the energy/material costs of hosting the site in a datacentre.

From a quick look in opensnitch, it should be tracking DNS replies in UDP packets. I don't see it filtering the responses, so spoofing hostnames or even overloading the translation table (memory exhaustion) might be possible, even for

Opensnitch does not run in ring 0, though it does run as root.

Your logic is flawed and/or the statement misleading. While storing more than a single bit with bit error rate >= 50% does require at least some error modeling, it does not mean profound implications on information theory¹. Yes, nor

Yep, AllowedIPs should really be called IPs (or PeerIPs).

I don't care about TPU, don't need DSP, but dual-core - yes, please do. Having a dedicated core for hard-real time and using the other for more complicated things is way better than single core. I've seen so many projects att

Reads data (indirectly) from cache - you can select cache slot. It is on you to make sure something interesting is in the cache, but if you can make your target execute, 12-bits is fairly good selectivity.

I wasn't thinking of IPFS, rather a way to have a proof-of-stake storage system doing actually useful work. I think I've seen at least one, though I'm not sure of it's current state.

If you report the pool's hash rate as lower, the users should demand a higher fair share, as they know their own hash rate. Either way, if a user knows his hash rate, he can calculate expected earnings and their presumed share. You cou

I'm sure ICANN would love to claim ownership of the entire name hierarchy, but I disagree. At least on my servers. First problem with your suggestion - you don't own domains, you rent them. That can change, you have to pay, someon

Not going to claim they aren't skimming, but is it not possible to calculate expected number of blocks from declared GH/s, expected earnings from user provided MH/s and tell if the pool is excessively "unlucky"?

If you add opportunity cost and renting cost, you are double counting. Assuming you can repeat your "totally legit" setup transactions until you succeed, with minimal cost other than rent, you would need to take more than either t
