I respect your choice and would likely do the same now and then. However, i think it could be beneficial if publishers realize DRM free books get pirated less or even bought more often :) I said publishers but i am not sure who wants this t

one could argue that you not paid for that kind of usage and basically pirating in the sense that you use it without permission. It has probably even been denied explicitly to you to break the DRM too. In some countries its even illegal by

He is most likely talking about the IP address inside the tunnel which in case of WireGuard is intervened with the exchange of cryptographic keys. You can not use a DHCP server as only unicast traffic is possible.

I would like to know the answer to this too :) Maybe they are using one tunnel interface per single customer then always assign the same address to everybody and use policy routing to handle this (EDIT: just realized there might not be usin

I think it is important to notice that the traffic is first routed to Cloudflare over the public internet, so technically it is not the moment it leaves your device when it starts to get routed inside CloudFlares network and the public inte

In German there are at least 3 words that describe these somewhat related concepts. The word "Frei" is mostly meant as in freedom but can also describe absence of something. The latter form is usually used in compound words like &

I am not sure if web developers are to blame here. It would probably be way more consistent to define default colors based on a standard instead of some local settings. However, if you change the colors you should make sure to do so for al

In addition to what has already been said, the last time i used btrfs in this manner the protocol had issues with some extended attributes which happened to manifest in issues on binaries which lets them gain additional capabilities[0] for

i know a german one which almost also works in english: "Wenn hinter Fliegen Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen hinterher" which should translate to: if behind flies flies are flying, flies are flying behind flies.

i did somewhat the same thing. it introduced me to programming... i thought how about multiple start indices and fixed width? you can then compress the list of start indices in the same manner until you reach sufficient compression :D

the help gets more specific the more complete your command gets. Try "ip link add type vlan help" for example. While i agree it does nothing to explain what the various switches do, if you know what you are trying to achieve this

this makes it sound like the only thing ip does is replace ifconfig which is not the case. It is more like like a go to application to manage the network stack to some degree. You can set up various tunnel interfaces, vlans, routes, routing

I wonder why they did not reroute traffic for their targets directly. I assume the amount of traffic the Route53 servers get is quite a lot to handle and failure to do so would make a lot of people aware of some issue. Also, how is it possi

Maybe they could provide access to the phones data though. In more or less the same way WhatsApp Web works.

I don't get why its not just indicating that the connection is "Encrypted". Even my mother, that has no deal whatsoever with this kind of stuff, would understand what that means.

It is possible to separate the work tree from the git repository files with the "--separate-git-dir" flag. .git is then a file whose contents point to the directory where the repository files reside. Any other command works as usu

Does someone know how much bandwidth this is able to handle?

But only in xenial repositories for whatever reasons.

I think it breaks policy but not the spec. Technically the root zone has to have NS records. So even records without a label at all should work. of course you can not resolve them without a static zone configuration.

Thanks for the reminder :) I do fall quite often for the useless use of cat. But most of the time i also do not really care about it much. I did omit pv in believe tee will always be available but it is great and absolutely preferred when a

Has somebody here ever made up a strategy how to handle lost or broken hardware when using a solution like this? In a corporate environment it seems feasible to have some kind of central authority that can reissue needed credentials when ne

like i have said i do not believe this is what happened. But like you said it is noteworthy that the result appears to be similar. However, i also think it can be beneficial to disclose such programs in order to make use of the results of s

I once had this idea that all these revelations done with the documents given by Snowden could be done on purpose by the government itself in order to make what was previously secretly done common knowledge and thus easier to use later on.

OpenWrt does it somewhat like described. If booted unconfigured you can ssh into it as root without any password. The web interface asks for a new one as the first thing to do. I would like it if they would do the same via ssh so you immedi
