Does Shannon actually have a concrete definition of "privacy"? Maybe you're confusing it with "perfect secrecy", which is a cryptographic measure I'm not sure applies here. > Mozilla will give them informati

I think the first order utility of the system is indeed negative. But the second order effect is to set a boundary with advertisers as to what is acceptable, which is positive. I don't think it actually allows advertisers to identify t

Fine, but privacy is privacy. I'm no fan of advertisers either, but if you're going to invoke Shannon let's use the right terms and stay intellectually consistent.

You can't reference Claude Shannon and information theory and then say a system to serve ads that preserves privacy can't exist. It's especially ironic because they use a technique called Differential Privacy to prevent any a

Perhaps it would be enough to have a folder in your Nginx config that is imported by glob, and to have the port number and service name in the filename of each file in the folder. The contents might be templated out from some template (`env

You can consider the use of Unix sockets (sockets as named files). There are lots of limitations but the most pervasive and frustrating of those is the general lack of support for them across apps. You could set up Nginx and some local subd

For Bash with `--enable-net-redirections` set at configure time (not a default, not enabled on popular distros to my knowledge), `/dev/{udp,tcp}/$host/$port` is available for this purpose.

I think having to "scan" to identify images is kind of fun! And it means the artist gets to choose the width of their own art. A lot of folks have a common screen width so there are fewer combinations than you think.

The way it was used, in context, was certainly a kind of hate. It was in the middle of the rap beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, employed to fire shots at not just Kendrick but at the entire West Coast rap scene. You might not understa
