What I'd have liked to see is a contribution to the pool.ntp.org project rather than providing this service at their their own domain.

This approach to preventing ossification is interesting, and also rather bad, since it creates cruft RFCs such as this one.

The feedback is fair enough given my phrasing. Of course, IPv6 can't give you a fixed IP address everywhere you go; because that's determined by network topology and IP assignment. All I'm saying is that there's better s

NATing IPv4 traffic requires maintaining a 5-tuple of connection state[1], which means the ISP must log these 5-tuples to be able to track citizens individually. Further, if there's another layer of NAT (such as a free WiFi service in

The model where law enforcement officers have to visit ISP facilities reduces the duration and scope of surveillance. Throw in a process where you need to get court approval into the mix, and this provides some level of oversight into the s

They can intercept the unencrypted section of encrypted connections, such as TLS ServerName, and the source and destination of every IP datagram which already provides a lot of information to profile individual citizens. QUIC moves to a mod

You could do stuff like k-anonimity and onion routing (where every layer is run by a different company, similar to Apple Private Relay) to mitigate some of it, although it wasn't there in the initial implementation of the Perspectives

What kind of results do you get when you Google the term? For me, the PostgreSQL documentation[1] came out on the top. [1] https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/queries-with.html

This incident shows why CT is a poor model to recognize one-off attacks against persons of interest. A better model was the 2010-era Perspectives Project[1], which requires browsers to report the certificate fingerprints and CA to a notary

What I would like to see more of, is a good faith response that directly addresses the concerns of the article. Unfortunately, as it stands, your response is simply arguing that articles bringing attention to a particular issue are not wor

Razor sharp analysis; the left and the right are both involved in similar policies around "cancellation". As an example, the right wing has expressed disdain and called for a reduction of powers of the FBI[1] in the same way the l

For anyone trying to get a better idea of what parent means, the PHP Generators RFC[1] shows the equivalence between generators and iterators. Iterators are what OP means by "struct including all the local variables used in the functio

Between Elon Musk’s recent antics and Jeff Bezos’ insane performance expectations, one would have to wonder how billionaires manage to stay alive with their ginormous God complexes.

One of the best writeups about QUIC, and my new go to reference for anyone who asks about the topic (since the QUIC RFCs are obtuse, and I say that as someone who's read many RFCs to troubleshoot networking issues).

There are a number of websites on HN where I've faced this while on a datacenter network; though I hadn't investigated the previous instances simply because I was using a VPN on my phone. In a rather interesting twist, this page s

Forums are too small of an audience to be even considered by most people, including political leaders considering such regulation, who consider Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit to be the only websites with UGC, and it's difficult to expla

I don't understand why some people are so hellbent on eliminating Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which would only mean the most reasonable way to have UGC is to have none at all, because anything else leaves a non-zero

You're making my point though. The fact that Google is successful, in part, is because of the fact that you can't copy their trade secrets and methods; which is one reason no solid competitor has come up to challenge Google. (Ther

Just because you can buy a knife to kill someone discreetly, doesn't mean that we should just give up on the idea of making murder illegal. Of course "killing someone" and "copying someone's artwork" are at dif

They’d probably use old conversion data to train their model. With time, it’ll be less useful but they only need a short term solution for now.

QUIC runs over UDP, and provides streams and encryption. HTTP/3 is designed to take advantage of QUIC streams (replacing HTTP/2 streams which were problematic due to TCP head of line blocking). The RFCs are a bit elaborate so folk
