I think after being compromised, safest course of action to get back to production would always be to rebuild everything, starting from installing a fresh OS. I think the article was a bit vague about this part.

Looking at the circumvention techniques GoodbyeDPI uses makes me want to cry. Is this really the state of DPI in 2022: changing Host to hoSt, or adding white spaces between method and URI actually works?

That would be a fun game. Do as well as you might, and then in the end, you get screwed over by one or more of the global powers. Would you like to play a nice game of Kobayashi Maru?

I feel that the AV-receiver market has gone the way of the DSLR market. Compact speaker systems like Sonos (that don't need a separate AVR) simply got good enough. Thus the need for buying a separate AVR to drive your Dolby / DTS

I looked at the nautical charts for Black sea[0]. It looks like the area near Odessa is quite shallow (less than 100m (~300ft) deep). I'll hazard that it was a total loss from a get go, but they towed it just far enough to be able to l

Couple of questions that I remain curious about now that sinking has been confirmed: 1. Did it go to a bottom with some nuclear warheads onboard? What is going to happen to these? (Slava class is nuclear strike capable[0]) 2. It was the fla

I’ll go out on a limb and say that amount of people willing or even able to do so is totally insignificant. Retiring to another country amounts to becoming stranger in a strange land where they may speak some English, with vastly different

I buy BDs so that kids can watch long form kids movies without needing to know about YouTube or Netflix or Prime (I mean they do, but they are now allowed there yet). I understand this will not last, but as far as I am concerned, longer the

I also buy mine for mostly the reasons you outlined above. Plus because of the kids, I got tired of renting Lion King or 101 Dalmatians etc. for the 11th time. It is actually cheaper to pay ~10-20USD for a BD and be done with it. It is wort

Problem with this is that the application I have in mind doesn't provide anything but perceptual feedback. I'd rather have some cold numbers that are to some degree reproducible and would give at least rough idea of the performanc
