having multicast working on the internet would make this extremly efficient for the distributors (i.e. netflix) but the last mile (i.e. your ISP) still would have to deliver the packets to their customers one by one. at Netflix scale it wou

no it wont do that by default, there would be quite some wild assumptions to be made to make it a default for everything. even if cache behavior would be signaled from upstream servers properly.

while not terribly important or outright not required this fails (treats urls as regex) for link-local addresses with device identifier (zone-id) applied like "[fe80::8caa:8cff:fe80:ff32%eth0]" although that would need to be fixed

its not very likely this is whats happening here but i feel like this could be done on purpose to see how you act in this kind of situation. it kinda tells how you would act once you inevitably go into a conflict with colleagues arguing ove

i agree with mostly everything you said but i think your calculation is wrong. to figure out how to map addresses not only the destination port can be taken to account but the addresses themselves and the source port too. that makes 28k (th

if it really works it should not be to hard to overcome this. there will be a different reaction when you see letters of the password you've been actually asked for piling up. so just second session looking for this yet unseen pattern

has this been tried? sounds interesting on its own :)

i just tried to point out this data should be useless for prosecution. this could easily be faked to make up an alibi when you are correctly accused of something.

by mercora 5y ago
does it work both ways? can i present this data as an alibi when i need one? if its not deemed accurate for that why would it be considered for evidence? and if it is that seems like free alibis for everyone guilty or not ;)

its like that in germany. well not really but it was supposed to be like this but later on it got illegal to circumvent digital protection regardless how trivial it was. the fees are still in place though...

for me it was also hard to grasp what went wrong here. i always thought if this test can be gamed something is flawed with this test. they were given the task to pass the test and they did although that did not translate to the outcome the

please do not copy your private key to remote machines ;) you can use the ssh-copy-id tool it does the right thing for you.

ssh is typically the only thing i expose (publicly if needed) because in most environments were it is running it is used for troubleshooting issues. if your issue is that your wireguard peer cant connect you are lost with that suggestion.

i wonder how much they profit on this announcement alone... probably enough to make it worth to (or pretend to) try anyhow.

it uses the [0]File System API of emscripten. i think it is possible to pipe via stdin somehow but i have no experience with any of this stuff but am interested to do something similar myself. although i don't want to transcode but rep
