My name is Matt S Trout. I regularly receive snail spam addressed to 'Ms. Trout'. Buying the data is quite possibly more cost effective but 'far more reliable' is, I suspect, an overestimate of the quality of the data av

That's kinda the point though - the argument being presented is AFAICT "people who aren't that serious about it should still not be randomly outed." I'm not convinced that's practically tenable these days, but

The only hijack attempt I've ever experienced was some card fraudsters I pissed off creating a fake paedophile blog under my full name (and then spamming a large chunk of IRC with links to it for a year or so). Happily for me everybody

I once helped nuked a user who was a persistent sexual harasser with access to multiple /16 ranges - but their device config (browser and etc.) was unique to users of the service in question, so we just hellbanned that. (apologies for

I've found the best way to avoid having to make amends is to not cause unintentional offence, certainly, and I've got (annoyingly) slowly better at it over the course of my life. Sometimes, though, I absolutely -do- intend to offe

The intra-party banter is what makes them. I tend to call it "popcorn fantasy" but mean that positively (and the length of time he takes to set up the "who's turn is it to cook" gag is simply masterful). Last time I

Redundancy is a different matter to firing for cause, and I definitely read 'firing' as meaning the latter. I suspect the fact that some people in this thread read it the way I do, and others (I guess including you?) read 'fi

I genuinely really like it - strict left-to-right or strict right-to-left are so much more predictable at least for arithmetical type expressions (I might still prefer specific precedences for =/==/etc.). However at this point som

Depending on what sites you're mostly accessing, it may be worth experimenting with Firefox Mobile plus uBlock Origin plus perhaps one or more of the extra anti-(ad|bloat)ware extensions. Chrome is definitely faster in a straight line

Also, for a bunch of cases, you can use something akin to a multi-step ceasar cipher. Yes, the obvious case of e.g. rot13 isn't exactly helpful security wise, but if you select e.g. 4, 22, 18 as the rotation order now you only need to

I am, on the whole, more concerned about self-DoS via fire or similar disaster than I am about sim swapping. Other people's threat models will certainly differ though, and whether mine is well chosen is certainly open to question.

I think the idea is that the OS has a better chance of keeping the plugin isolated than a VM sandbox. I'd certainly trust v8's sandboxing over any attempt to do it myself but OS level sandboxing + IPC seems like an even better ide
