The solution should be to use IPv6 everywhere via 4to6 and 6to4 protocols. Then Ipv4 usage will become less important (as fewer people will want to maintain or use it), and ISPs will have an active incentive to switch (less network translat

I skimmed it, saw some nonsense syntax, saw some further nonsense down below. Went back and re-skimmed, it does still seem like a joke, but it falls a bit flat for me... But it could be legit someone's crazy project, there are pretty z

Eh? "and stores should be required to post disclaimers when the product doesn't pass muster." What about this is restrictive of free speech? If anything, YOU want to restrict the speech of the store to not allow them to say t

Your compile should take a minute or so, though. And that's arguably slow. 40 min is order of magnitude slower, but the goal is not to be as slow as possible. If you have e.g. a hot reload (instant recompile), that's fantastic, bu

Perhaps not, but that's what marketing is for... "Increase your resistance gut to parasites with our revolutionary cure!" Or some such... And then you realize what complete sleezy snakes most of these tech bros are.

Safari is just Apples Opera (before they went Blink and made themselves irrelevant). They aren't great, just another proprietary browser. Every time I've used it has been sub-par. It reminded me a lot of Opera in that it was very

Nope firefox still runs gecko. It's a small difference, perhaps, but its "my" browser in a way chrome will never be. Blink sucks. Also, not a clue what you are on about - I don't have an issue with firefox. Chrome is bas

Consider also the option, that you dont need any security... This over-the-top nonsense for garbage accounts really needs to stop. I agree with some of the "opt-in" stuff but really, the default should be no passwords, no passkeys

"The change from say one version of Windows to the next is tiny, and happens every 5 years or so." This is simply not true - the OS can and does change with monthly patches. Windows and Linux are both worse than Android or iOS&#x2

Yes, but this is in counterpoint to the claim (paraphrasing) that "the operating doesn't change much only every 5 years". If you go a couple months often that's enough for some things to be drastically different in Win

Possibly? My point was essentially that key-length could have unintended side-effects. E.g. if you were to have some rainbow table approach, e.g. in theory larger key size would mean more possible key combinations, meaning more expensive sp

One thing this paper ignores is side channel attacks. Those may involve hardware or software vulnerabilities, or they may be inherent to the process itself. So the real bogeyman is not whether we have figured out how to factor large numbers
