Possibly also a path to greater decentralization. Relying on jurisdictional stuff isn't going to cut it forever (see the current pause on new uploads), but it's also hard to ask people to host data that'll get them sued witho

Those captive portals generally kind of suck; you can (or could, the last time I personally tried was pre-pandemic) get around them with mac spoofing or tunneling traffic over UDP 53/853. They'd have to keep long-lived NAT logs on

I suspect it changes the profile of who gets hit. Individual-level targets would get extorted for maybe a couple hundred bucks - sums that are reasonable to transact in iTunes cards or whatever. Those numbers are low both because it's

That's unfortunately not true at all in my experience. Maybe if you're an anodyne SAAS, but if you host any user-generated content, especially if it's adjacent to gaming (my personal experience was mostly with gaming-related

I can't directly contradict you (couldn't find the source I thought I had), so maybe I was getting trolled by copyright notices in the base networking stuff (so not runescript) circa 2009. But yeah, either way you're right th

RSPS server sources are all from leaks; you can decompile/reflect the client all you want but the server bits (let alone sources) were never distributed. Jagex has used this fact to go after RSPSes. It's not totally clear from the

The flipside of being screwed if you get locked out of your Google account is that, AFAICT, you're a lot less likely to get sim-swapped by some social-engineered carrier grunt. I have a Google account specifically for Fi, as uncorrelat

WWII's civilian/military casualty ratio was way higher than WWI's (~2:1 vs. very very roughly 1:1 or lower), which would affect how the lethality hypothesis affects casualties. When more of the dead are civilians and civilian

Lethality of weaponry has a significant impact on how battles are fought, where increasing lethality generally means fewer participants and, counterintuitively, fewer deaths: https://acoup.blog/2021/02/26/fire

I like working on a small laptop even when there are multiple large monitors available - probably to do with being a very heavy virtual workspaces + tiling wm user. I also hate sitting at a desk and prefer to flop around whatever couch, rec

Something that doesn't rely on round trips for error correction, I guess. AFAIK bandwidth is limited but is overall less of an extreme constraint than the RTT. Seems like a good use for forward error correction / sending parity da

I think the parent does make a good point that it is getting harder to keep your hands on your own ephemera, especially in usable/meaningful forms (i.e. I'd say a GDPR dump of context-free comments isn't that meaningful). The
