You need merely look at other countries where this is implemented like Canada and the UK though to see its success. Cell carriers are a completely different case which isn't comparable - bandwidth costs them a lot more than it does to

I'm generally in agreement with you, but one minor criticism, cell carriers are not home ISPs and there's a lot more competition in the cell carrier business because cell carriers are not limited by physical lines. The physical li

Interesting, I think an alternative to the net neutrality ruling might be to go the way that Canada and the UK did which largely prevented this from becoming a significant issue: force the major ISPs to lease last mile lines to the upstarts

Well, that is part of the Kotlin project itself, so I assume it is or will be built in, should the proposal succeed.

There's really no need for a certificate on an onion name - onion names are already the hash of your public key. Tor validates everything for that already and if someone else can compromise your onion name, they could just produce a ce

Do you have any auth on the MQTT? If I recall correctly onion names are basically public.

The "hit-and-run" problem turns out not to be that big of an issue really - there's so many public torrents out there and so many people that want the files that things mostly seem to work out just fine. Sure, you won't

Yeah, it's definitely interesting. I wonder if ransomware developers just don't overlap much with botnet developers. It has to be pretty hard to find customers to really make money running a botnet unless you're already deep

Check out Tribler, they have the torrent search thing working in a similar way to Kad from eDonkey land. Their anonymous communication is pretty sketchy security wise, I wouldn't rely on it, but their DHT search is pretty good and thei

Wow, that first link just seems like they're being incredibly pedantic. I seem to remember similar issues with Psychology Today previously, meh. None of these pop-psych rags are particularly good.

Yeah, it's interesting to see all the bad experiences mostly tie back to gitlab.com being shitty. I've run it self-hosted myself and have been extremely happy with it. Almost a totally set-and-forget experience too, assuming you d

The scripts for it still likely get loaded and compiled. I'm not sure how much of a hit that is, but Electron apps tend to eat a lot of memory quickly even doing basic stuff.

More likely it's close to vice versa for driver reasons. Android owns everything, the debian stuff just runs in a chroot and it needs a few custom hacks to make display and input work nicely, which is why it's not the same as just

In Canada our regulator recently discussed this and one of the largest monopoly ISPs went to bat in favor of net neutrality. I suspect this is in large part due to the great increase in competition from the leased lines being enforced. If a

If we're not extremely careful about it, it may not become commodity technology, it may rest solely in the hands of a few companies who maintain full control of it. All it would really take is a few big successful players who are behav

They won't be too successful even, look at what's happened with Google's own SafetyNet, it's trivially bypassed using several commonly available tools.

It's entirely possible to present a solid ABI that would allow vendor specific boot and hardware access. I can see no reason those can't be abstracted out.

And I don't think we'll ever see that again. Even if there are big vulnerabilities in Linksys, DLink, Netgear or common ISP shipped modem/router combos - there are just too many different devices to see it on the same scale

Microsoft does it. Every Linux distros does it. Assuming they can maintain compatibility with existing drivers it should be fully possible for them to just update a few relevant OS components, especially for security updates. Feature update

In large part they are less common because of NAT's popularity. Back in 2003, most people were on dialup or had a single machine plugged directly into the Internet. Microsoft had no firewall out of the box. So by default you exposed al

Not really, ultimately if someone has write to your network drive, it's not any different than malware having it. The best solution is a good backup and protecting your hosts from being infected as much as possible. I believe some peop

This is just an escalation attack, not one which is remotely exploitable. You still need access to the machine in order to take advantage of this and by the time you have access to the machine you can run your own keylogger if you'd li

Yeah, I have no problem with that in theory, just don't make a crappy overpriced version of the other thing...
