I was primarily talking about browsers because web ads were the concern - and also probably the most common way to be spyed on. But for desktop and mobile I can't endorse enough running a software firewall with outgoing blocking and ac

There's dozens of tools around for this, but I recommend this fairly simple combination: - uBlock Origin - just straight up blocking ads solves the problem, some lists also block other kinds of trackers, it also has an excellent advanc

I think most people when running in production wind up using network based protocols instead, NFS, SMB, etc which are much more security and time tested. I've never heard of anyone using this kind of thing outside of personal VMs or de

Sample weird behavior from Discord: Make the window too small and the buttons overlap in the titlebar. I didn't even pick an extremely small size or anything, this was about half my screen width on my Macbook. But this is the kind of t

A surprising amount of stuff still relies on - or quite recently relied on what they call "inertial navigation systems" (INS for short). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_navigation_system I work in avia

None of these apps feel quite right though. Even Atom still doesn't do DPI scaling properly. VSCode does, but opening 2 panes sometimes causes it to break. Sample problem (left pane blurry, right pane sharp - view at 1:1 scale on ~100d

Yes - definitely. I was just saying passwords because they're something that could have leaked which could be used to actively compromise accounts and result in further attacks now. And probably the only thing most sites can do anythin

I've sort of been fighting with this myself - a few years ago I started working full time and spending more time with friends. When I get downtime it's pretty much just turned in to playing games or watching TV - I barely have tim

Some of those can be pretty fun, but when you get to the point that paying for it seems at all tempting it's time to take a different approach - the way which involves a decompiler, a debugger and maybe Frida too. When free to play bec

How do you just pick up a project from a set like that? Typically if I put something on a list, it's not motivating enough for me to want to do when I have downtime unless I really want to work on something. Many mentally challenging a

I'd say it shouldn't be their responsibility to fix it at all - this is on CloudFlare. CloudFlare shouldn't be downplaying the issue to their customers. They should be telling them to reset passwords and get users to do simil

Even with Ali you're not stuck holding the bag - they have buyer protection like most other reputable shopping sites. Most of the time they'll just let you keep the product too and issue you a refund.

Sia seems really cool - out of curiosity, is there a way to see the available storage prices on the network?

Yeah, I got this this morning too. It seems to be a pretty big downplay - it should be closer to "change all your passwords, have all your customers change all their passwords". They're busy shredding data from caches, but an

Nice, good to know the credit card companies are doing their best to mitigate their liability due to issues like this too.

It's always fairly safe to enter credit card details, you can chargeback that shit, type it wherever you feel like and just claim ignorance when it goes poorly. That's basically the whole point of using a credit card and not your

Private fiber in other people's datacenters. Better I suppose, but not much.

Yeah, if you're capable of MITMing traffic between CloudFlare and the server, you're most likely capable of stealing emails or HTTP requests to the server anyways and generating your own certificate for them anyways. It's a s

Isn't that easy to deal with? Sit back, relax and wait for a court order or your own ISP's demand kind of thing? That's been my policy when running this kind of thing in the past - maybe I've been living behind CloudFlar

Yeah, I have to imagine that a lot of the practical use cases would be better on Monero or ZCash where cryptographic anonymity can be had. Especially in black market type transactions this is hugely beneficial. That said, a lot of the infra

Yeah, what you wanted to change is what Linux calls "swappiness", configurable in vm.swappiness. In Windows I can't find any such configuration option.

Yeah. I've had issues with this on some systems. On Windows without swap when you hit a remotely low on RAM point, things start going really poorly for some reason - random latency. So with 16 GB of RAM even I can't disable swap o

Ah, okay. Yeah, that does seem quite possible. They are saying "HTTPS Certificates" are potentially impacted - but they're probably just trying to push people away from SHA1 as fast as possible.
