The hard part with software licensing is making it resistant to cracking. This doesn't attempt to make things difficult, it would take under an hour to crack any app that uses this for licensing. I suppose the target for this service a

Make it unlimited then, or grow dynamically based on historical block sizes, there's lots of options. The original limit was only added as an anti-spam measure back when anyone could mine blocks. I would rather the core developers focu

Segwit is an complicated and large code change that fundamentally alters the bitcoin protocol to solve a problem that can instead be fixed by adding: if (blocknumber > 500000) maxblocksize = 8000000;

Unless they installed a MITM certificate on his device, I certainly hope not.

I'm pretty sure revocation checks like CRL and OCSP all fail-open (they still allow the connection if contacting the revocation server fails).

The pricing model on this makes no sense. Argo claims to optimize the route between Cloudflare and the origin, which is only used during cache misses, yet they charge $0.10/gb for all traffic from Cloudflare to visitors. Considering

I feel like a dinosaur running all of our services on dedicated server infrastructure (OVH) but every time I see stories like this I'm glad I do. Unlimited bandwidth, a fixed monthly fee, absolutely zero surprises. I think far too many

Reminds me of Cloudflare's "Flexible SSL", where backend connections aren't encrypted at all.

Wouldn't this effectively act as a signal jammer for all 2.4 GHz devices if it's constantly transmitting? I'm sure your neighbors will love it when their WiFi goes down every time you leave the house!

One very useful feature would be to add up to date filtering systems in report only mode (eg SpamAssassin), SPF / DKIM / DMARC checks, etc. Without having your own up to date inbound MTA, it's very difficult to test your own

"Pretty poor coverage" sounds like the author was relying on Wi-Fi for connectivity. I wouldn't trust an ISP-provided combo modem/router to do anything more than the bare minimum when it comes to wireless, most likely a

I've been involved in a project that went from standard Win32 controls to Qt, and while I was very much against Qt at the time (such bloat!), I can't deny how easy it has made cross platform UI work. With many apps being written i

In a world full of bloated Electron HTML5 / JS "desktop apps", I'm very happy to see Telegram on Windows is a native app (Qt). It feels so incredibly responsive compared to everything else.

The internet is in a pretty sad state if a simple UDP stream isn't possible any more because of interfering middleboxes. It's not like QUIC is a new IP protocol. One of the reasons for lack of good fallback is probably an expectat

I have trouble getting up and I'm considering one of these. Does it make any noise while plugged in? I have sensitive hearing and find for example a lot of modern LED lamps have annoying buzzing associated with them due to poor quality

Lots of legacy tech is also one of the reasons why Wi-Fi sucks. If you do one thing today, disable 802.11b on your router. 802.11b beacons alone can completely jam a 2.4 GHz channel in dense deployments, exasperated by those ISPs that broad

From what I've seen, a lot of of those MongoDB ransomwares actually just delete the data and leave a ransom note in the hope of getting free bitcoin. So in a sense they've done some good by removing it from the internet.

The company was tanking and they were looking to make a quick buck. What market motivation would they have to spend extra time and money securing it properly? This is a fine example of why we need IOT regulation.

Unless my math is off, the combined power of the bitcoin network could find collisions in seconds (ignoring SHA-1 vs SHA-256). It isn't too unreasonable to assume that kind of hardware power would be available to nation states.

I use he.net DNS quite a lot for personal projects. I've had a few instances where DNS was not resolving that make me a bit cautious to move larger sites onto their service.

I still have a lifetime standard DNS subscription with them from back in the day when they were dyndns.org and you could physically mail them cash. The DNS hosting has been very solid (except for the day Mirai took them offline) but the sta

Just got this classy spam from dyn.com. Wonder if they're going through this list emailing every domain contact. > As you may be aware, Cloudflare incurred a security breach where user data from 3,400 websites was leaked and cached

Sites using Cloudflare in DNS only mode won't have sent any requests that could be leaked.

Google at least proxied everything over their own private fiber. Cloudflare proxies it over the public internet on a long route (since they terminate SSL as close to the client as possible).

At least the binaries are authenticode signed now, so checking they are legit is just a right click away.

Awesome side effects like needing half your webroot writable by the webserver. Takes me back to the CGI days in the 90s.

The sad thing is people are so used to this modern web crap that I don't think they will stop using it. The Facebook "we crashed the app and users never stopped coming back" experiment comes to mind. Sure, technical users lik

I don't think things are going to get better until browser makers (or Google) start forcing things. It's fine to say "Use less JS" but without an incentive, things aren't really going to change. Looking at how HTTPS

I think an issue here is Google is showing "ɢoogle" as "ɢoogle.com" and not "xn--oogle-wmc.com". The .com TLD has no support for IDNA2008 so they allow registration of these similar-looking unicode TLDs. This i
