In a way yes, but I think the issue is largely caused by those up the chain that make it hard to deal with. Doing a search on should I block ICMP, or what ICMP to block, answers are: [1] No!!; some security issues; a lot of ICMP should be b

2048 bit RSA can have at most ~2022 bits of entropy. It can and often does have much less¹, depending on how the keys were generated (debian). That may or may not be an issue, depending on the resulting distribution of keys, i.e. how usab

That's why you should use trains, which can safely go a few km high in good terrain.

On Earth, gravity has a bonus of a free massive side plate. As a battery, it might work better on Jupiter and unusable in free space, but it still stores orders of magnitude more energy than we use, in abundant cheap materials. I liked the

I have an interesting uplink that drops packets of size about 1430-1470, but has no issue with smaller or bigger packets, even 1500. ICMP is rate-limited, and 1500 byte packets work, so PMTUD doesn't kick. Hence, the connections hang i

IMO, the crux of the issue is that kind-of-necessary and dangerous functionality is commingled in "ICMP", with no trivial way to separate the two. With usual TCP and UDP, you block by default, allow outgoing, allow replies and you

Facebook doesn't have permission to hold my data. Especially not scraping data, and if implemented, where would they scrape it from? Certain regulations only consider meaningful freely given consent (all your popups mean nothing), and

Knots I've tied Ian's way are the most taut, precisely because I have no issue applying tension all the way, instead of the old method with switching hands and stuff, where that was impossible. If you're doing it right, the r

Trade single band noise for broadband noise? Wouldn't recommend powerline. Not that powerline doesn't work (sometimes), but it radiates and raises the noise floor for all sorts of frequencies, pretty much by design.

The common parlance is very problematic. Anyone can see it is in fact a conspiracy theory, but if it's true, you're not supposed to call it that? How would you know? Using conspiracy theory as a derogaratory term is a form of doub

Sure they will. Once FLoC is active across most Chrome browsers, so even a simple method should work during the critical transition period (need to stay on top of if, so as not to bother users with fake FLoC browsers). If FLoC gets adopted,

Blocking seems a bit unbecoming. Kind of like Google's move. Perhaps it would be possible to use FLoC against itself? https://amifloced.org/

FWIW, when we heard of the incident, I think the prevailing sentiment was that America deserved it, and we are unrelated to China (in Europe). America has made a lot of enemies and inflicted a lot of damage and terror for what seems as both

Maybe laws could forbid profiling? So you couldn't select 18-25 recently-single white female within 50km as a target category (or whatever else you come up with). I think GDPR may already forbid such use (without consent), though the i

Not TCP. UDP - there are no connection in UDP, so the routers / firewalls don't really differentiate between a new connection and packets that happen to have the correct ip+port. Some are trickier than others, as there are 2 IPs a

Banana radiation dose example really bothers me. Assuming a human has about 140g of potassium [1], a single banana has up to about 0.5g [2] and a yearly radiation dose from ~140g of potassium is 390uSv [3], in order to get a banana dose of

> All signals are output at the same time, giving perfect timing. Wonder how they do that. The pairs are normally spun at different rates to cancel crosstalk, so I would expect them to have different lengths.

When you use ; and possibly {, }, code statements / blocks are specified redundantly (indentation + separators), which can cause inconsistent interpretation of code by compiler / readers. I find it much, much easier to look at cod

We do not need a generalized date mapping function to verify the claim, we only need to verify specific events/dates, and even for those we only need to verify a single inequality. OTOH, looking at the data, events are dispersed over m

Have you tried setting your transmit power low (just enough to get good signal to the places intended, but definitely no more than your devices can trasmit) and increasing the minimum send rate to something reasonable (say 10-40 Mbps, beaco

If I click accept/trust, what does the browser actually do? Surely, it won't start trusting the certificate as it is (a self-signed wildcard or CA cert would get blanket MITM capability).

That's not equivalent and easily dangerous. Random server's TLS cert could be a wildcard or even a CA, which you should not add to your trust store with a single click. The certificate needs to be either restricted to specific dom
