It’s not how any of it works. How do you determine to whom an IP is even registered to? They get sub-leased all the time. The best you can do is check who has administrative control over the prefixes RIR info, but that doesn’t mean that any

Me and some friends of mine thought it would simply be funny if we gave the temple just IPv6 (no v4) support.

They probably did, and just determined that it would be fun. The other week I had a fun project to implement IPv6 support in TempleOS. I did stop to think whether I should, and determined that absolutely not. I asked Claude to start plannin

I’d argue that with explosives it’s significantly above zero. But with bioweapons, yeah, that should be a solid zero. The ones actually doing it off an AI prompt aren't going to have access to a BSL-3 lab (or more importantly, probably

The cat is out of the bag and there’s no defense against that. There are several open source models with no built in (or trivial to ecape) safeguards. Of course they can afford that because they are non-commercial. Anthorpic can’t afford a

Absolutely everyone should be allowed to access AI models without any restraints/safety mitigations. What line are we talking about?

iCloud, iPad, iPhone, iMac, iMessage, iOS/iPadOS, iMovie? Granted, they are slowly but surely killing it, but it’s still going quite strong.

Tesla will become a case study on how to completely waste the first-mover advantage. For many people, the very term EV itself is still ubiquitous to Tesla. And somehow Tesla is still worth more than every other non-Chinese automaker combine

The funniest part about Windows Server licensing that I find is the requirement to have CALs (Client Access Licenses) - $5/mo a pop for each device using _any_ service provided by the Windows Server. You run your Windows Server as a DH

Literally none of these were foiled by the security circus we all have to go through. If anything, they are evidence that serious attempts are foiled by intelligence services long before the perpetrators get anywhere near an airport, and th

Blocking port 25 is perfectly reasonable. There are no sane and legitimate reasons for running an SMTP server on a residential connection. Even most server providers will block it unless you give them some very good reasons. Blocking 53 is

That just highlights my point about this article being a cheap dunk? Because I was very disappointed with it ending at “SSV doesn’t let you”. SSV can be disabled, and the author should have known (almost certainly knows) that.
