not really. it's about the blocking occurring in reach of the user (client) or not (infrastructure quirk that has to be worked around)

this seems like a massively overcomplicated exercise. dns-blocking is evil, no matter who does it. stop lying to yourself and install contentblocker on your devices

dyndns solves some applications of static addressing but not most

technically it's a stub forwarder. so i'll let it pass

vps with static ip will go for half of that
126.
by sulandor 2y ago
that's called a dns-resolver (iterator). essentially starting from the top (.) and asking for authorative nameservers that can answer the next level down until it reaches the hostname you are looking for. this usually takes multiple rt

you meant systematically or programmatically? hearing from someone else is indeed organic

nah - a "good" paperweight can easily rival the cost of a car

that's a matter of terminology. i'd argue that what you describe as "host" is rather a management vm which is allowed to talk directly to the hypervisor. though, through this privilege is most likely able to compromise i

by sulandor 2y ago
interesting, though i don't think that isolating sensitive stuff in a vm is a reasonable security strategy if we are talking about low-level compromise of the entire architecture, or did you want to rationalize the usage for "defe

saturation attacks are mostly cheap and effective. see ddos vs intricate hacking

there is benefit in making the distinction

yes. though all windows machines seem affected

barrier of entry = security ?

you'll get over it

not necessarily a bad thing, since a well-connected and specialized startup may bring a lot more value to the company and the economy in gerneral

though the shared disdain for the babbler creates a "common enemy" which is probably better than being forced to work directly

seems like a good ballpark number with some leeway for unexpected things

you're probably right, there's no accounting for taste.

otoh we could do away with a lot of the commercially over-hyped populist bullshit
142.
by sulandor 2y ago
imo this is mainly due to the constraint of keeping clientside pre-buffering as low as possible. sending the whole file at network-speed usually works fine, but maybe uneconomical at scale especially if coupled with users that skip a lot an

online dating (apps) did not invent uncommitted sex. debatable if it got more prevalent because of them, as afaik the statistics indicate both, less short _and_ less long term relationships, so :shrug:

maybe because bittorrent is genuinely useful and far from abandoned as most shops that regularly distribute large blobs use it. the political kerfuffle because drm/dmca really has nothing to do with it but i can't shake the feelin

most ppl probably fall into the category where self-hosting their content is viable, though most also don't know anything about it, hence the outsourcing

always wondered how this handles prebuffering. (i.e. max-prebuffer = chunk-size) ?
