Any security camera product can do this, Flock is winning on having an integrated cloud solution with an all in once price that integrates with a lot of other law enforcement tools. You can put a camera on a pole with a cell router and enab

Sure but the end result of that is simply that local agencies could not legally use this technology, not that they can just ignore local laws because the federal government wants them to. The federal government can maybe force Flock to turn

In the case of Illinois, this is not lawful, I'm not sure about the laws in Ohio, but if a village in Illinois buys a Flock camera and that data is accessible to ICE, than they have violated Illinois law. So they either need Flock to

I certainly don't think people should feel obligated to support random Internet people but often the reasons people like these open venues is the low friction of a community member offering up something genuinely useful. Be clear w

What can Congresscritters expense? I'd assume they need to travel between their home state and DC frequently. Would lodging for work where they do not have a home be expensable somewhere? Isn't the solution to needing two homes to

This is one of those things where I just have to express that a lot of the HN crowd is entirely divorced from the reality the rest of the world experiences. ;) Nearly nobody has multigig anything in the home, a probably surprisingly large

Agreed. We had IP phones with 100 Mbps switches in between most of our computers and the rest of the network for a long time and very few people noticed. It'd only really be when I was installing a system upgrade or something, and I&

That puts you in an extreme minority, even amongst enterprise businesses. Many medium sized enterprises have storage that looks like "a couple dozen TB total" for hundreds of staff. Having 100 TB of storage in your home basement

Heh it's honestly wild to me anyone needs over a gig. My work has a one gig fiber line supporting hundreds of employees and usage generally remains below 10%. The high expense of 10gig is, in part, because it isn't widely necessar

You just have to fund it by doing a YouTube channel about running it.

Then you recognize that the solution definitely does not require privacy invasion, since presumably Facebook does not want actual proof because they hope teenagers will get around it. That being said, the antiregulatory wonks are not all wo

> Mandating OS-level age verification effectively means not allowing kids access to OSS platforms, a step way too far in my opinion. For instance, we would have to outlaw Steam Decks for kids. This is entirely false scare tactic nonsense

The problem with this fiction is it's easily testable: Trump has repeatedly fired eminently qualified individuals who happen to be women or people of color in favor of idiots who are white men that run podcasts or he watched on TV. Ame

Your lack of understanding why age verification does not constitute it being a conspiracy for another reason. There is a antiregulatory crowd that will invent any possible excuse to suggest tech companies shouldn't be accountable and w

The primary reason I used to prefer GoDaddy is you could call them 24/7 and talk to a human who could fix it . Historically I have preferred companies with phone support over submit-a-ticket-and-wait.

It just can't run on any device with a security policy in place.

I get the impression that beyond the money from the sale, the victims would very much like Alex Jones control of InfoWars to end. This accomplishes both of those things. I don't generally find The Onion that funny, and probably will ne

by ocdtrekkie 6mo ago
Bear in mind buying it to ruin it is a very real public service. Alex Jones was hoping a conservative ally would buy it and then just continue to let him do what he wants. Jokes aside, The Onion is basically spending a giant pile of money t

WoW has been doing this for like a decade. A lot of the old expansion content gets level scaled for new players, many dungeon groups get scaled to the same level, some of their time travel events have scaled old dungeons up for current play

Congresscritters like personal power. Trump has neutered even his own party's legislators and they do not like it, even if they fall in line out of fear. Keep in mind even when Trump is in power, his own party goes through processes

The issue is people are afraid of him. There was plenty of Republican opposition to Trump but people either fell in line or got pushed out. (The main problem is that people didn't have the courage to oppose him all at once, he can easi

I think we allowed a sense of decorum and a hope we could just "move on" to avoid that happening in 2021, and now we are suffering the wrath of not doing it. I suspect we will not make the same mistake in 2029.

I suspect in the aftermath of this administration, the power of the President as a whole is going to be massively stripped back.

I remember when I was a kid I would bike to a park around a half mile away by myself, definitely before I was 13, and I admit it feels weird to suggest a kid can go to the park down just a single block alone today. The funny thing is it&#x2

So, if you are not at minimum inspecting SNI, you are not meaningfully providing security for your network. Where I work we do not really pay attention to what people are doing with their computers (that is an HR problem, not an IT problem)

People overengineer homelabs all the time for fun and practice. To selfhost (which is not, in fact, the same thing), you can get a mini PC and probably host all of the basics. A small two-bay NAS plus a mini PC and you're really cookin

You'd say incorrectly, firewalls have an implicit deny rule, so any case ICMP traverses a firewall, someone wanted it to. Obviously large hosting providers tend to find value in ICMP being enabled. But for example, our firewall at work

This is also indeed done on both. Browser policies.

Once upon a time, like today? ICMP is most definitely only allowed situationally through firewalls today.
