I've seen antistatic devices based on ionizing radiation, but not recently. That might be partially a function of different work environments.

Keep your SPF simple. Otherwise, make sure it works. Aaand, how many people actively monitor their DNS infrastructure?

A big problem with "verified" (e.g. LinkedIn and the massage they sell it to you with) is it is a transaction which involves giving them what is ideally nonpublic information: would you trust them with nonpublic information? How m

It was a machine. At first it was kind of creepy to have the feeling that when you entered the building you were part of a machine. But after a couple of weeks it was addictive and I have never looked forward to going to work somewhere as m

If what was originally a packet is fragged, the TCP headers may (likely) not be in all the frags. So if you're looking with wireshark and you think you can filter with TCP flags good for you, 90% of the world feels that way. I work wit

Where I live (Tacoma WA if anyone wants some) there are wellheads you can go to and get water for free. I use it for brewing beer (because of the mineral content). I've never seen anyone else filling. I was curious so I asked, and they

Yes. It was a manufacturing facility and since the products were photosensitive the entire line operated in total darkness. It was two months before they turned the lights on and I could see what I was programming for. This was the first pl

So had the call, none of the essential facts were disputed. The person I spoke with doesn't think Sys4 is using the feed in the way intended and they're going to check on that. I connected with them on LinkedIn so we might not be

Land sickness. I owned / lived on a 41 foot sailboat for a decade. One of my semi-secret amusements was taking people to a tavern and buying a pitcher of beer after we'd been out all day. Idly drinking beers and having a pleasant

You are just lucky. You can contact me if you want to discuss further, I would strongly recommend you don't do it here.

A lot of email reputation at this point, in fact I'd say most of it, is FUD. Here is a current example I am a hostage of: Sys4 (an ESP) uses Abusix as a reputation service. Because this is poorly thought out (I've been a member of

This is the chauvinism I maybe failed to surface effectively enough. People in the cloud "just scale"; and big cuddly cloud says "ooooh, we block DoS and we won't charge you for the ingress traffic" when they whine.

In fact (if you read the post) I mention blocking "some small hosting providers as a proof of concept": that would be DigitalOcean, for the reason you state.

Problems? What kind of problems? Discovering word embeddings was sort of a happy accident of LLMs: back propagation "improved" them from a similarly random starting point as the NNs. It's not a technical problem as in overwhe

Other options include port knocking and "no cat" (a web or email interface which selectively pokes holes for ssh based on magic incantations).

Simple answer is I find search engines mostly useless. There is no investment in curation, compared to site-specific search. I run and have access to a few semi-private curated lists of resources, good enough for most of what I need and cer

I haven't checked today, but e.g. Amazon's JSON file belies the fact that they own 3.0.0.0/8 in practice if not in fact. I'm not going to play "let's block Amazon's huge JSON list". I've got 53 r

I did the same thing and used it as the chum for a 'bot motel. (A 404 handler that always returns something and... success!). I trained it on a mixed NASA space shuttle and veterinary science corpus just to make it really bizarre.

Entertaining starting points for some pointless browsing. I like the fact that they compiled the prospective list by downloading TLD data. DNS data is mined in surprising ways.
