For a single package. And npm hosts a few more than that. They shrinked a package size by almost 40%. No way this isn't significant improvement. Hell, at their scale 4% improvement is big.

It's - technically - a problem with TLS, not HTTPS. TLS requires the server to pick a key way before user sends first encrypted bytes (like a HTTP host header). It's not a problem when every HTTPS server has another IP, but that i

You typically print it and store it in a safe place (like your home cabinet). It's something like 256bit random number, no way to recall it, especially while being subjected to the $5 wrench method.

The last one. But I think I overreacted a bit. Your thoughtful response made me realise that - thanks. It just surprised me how disconnected the crime 20 years ago was to the current situation. But maybe it really is the best solution.

I'm really happy the girl was rescued! This story could end in a horrible way. But no, I'm not in favor of the technology that allowed that. I think there are a lot of tradeoffs to giving the state powerful tracking capabilities,

I'm not scaremongering (that assumes intent), just concerned. At this point why not just at least be upfront with it and collect everyone's fingerprint when they turn 18? It would make more sense IMO.

Is it weird that my first thought was about ransomware's ransom note and I wondered what kind of fingerprint was used (gpg key? ssh?). I had to open the article to realise how wrong I was. >Police were able to identify him, as the p

I... think I agree. Thanks for your calm and reasonable response. >If you don't mind supporting an aggressor and an invader as long as they are not invading or attacking you (...) I do mind, but sadly I (my country) has to support s

The same reasons don't hold for me, because my country is friendly with USA and (currently) openly hostile to Russia. The same holds for most of the western world, so likely most of the HN readers. Nothing irrational in avoiding softwa

Anecdotal example - I was talking with a (usually very reasonable) friend, and she was convinced Google (via Android) listens to her all the time (with a microphone) and suggests products based on her real life conversations with her friend

I have read and helped implement GDPR in my country. It's the greatest thing that happened to online privacy, finally a law that has teeth and can influence big tech. It empowers me as a citizen and makes me feel my data has value agai

Because it's so obvious. I didnt't think about dialing 112 when buying my phone, but if I knew my phone can't call it I'd carry a small, second "emergency" phone that can at all times. Or buy another phone.

I own Pixel 4a for a few years now (I bought it when it was quite new, now it's EOL). I never had any software or hardware problems, and it's my favourite phone I ever had. (we can keep the anectodal evidence going, but not sure w

I only ever listen to audio on my phone through my headphones (no exaggregation, 100% of time during last 5 years). I guess in case of an emergency I won't have time to connect them before the call. I also don't use facetime. So f

This discussion is moot btw. Google already has faraday cage and bts equipment, at least in the London office (6ps) where a large part of the Android team is located. And obviously so - the costs involved are a rounding error for Google. Th

Not sure where you live, but I'm pretty sure it's legal. And for a good reason - nobody is harmed by creating and consuming them (this is not true for pictures, for example). In fact, I believe "Lolita" can be found in

Vs code functions as a remote access trojan (RAT) in this scenario. But while your AV will hopefully detect and flag most common RATs, it won't flag vs code. This method is often used in real world attacks (especially targetted ones).

by taway1237 3y ago
The point of the blog post is that this method is useful for attackers (as a so-called lolbin - trusted binary used in a malicious way).

I know IPv6, just don't feel the need to use it. I prefer to have one firewall and public network interface to worry about. I can't disable IPv4 yet, so the logical solution is to disable IPv6.

In my current company (related to academic institution that introduced internet to my country) every office workstation has FOUR public (but firewalled of course) IPv4 addresses. And every user has an unique VPN IPv4 address on top of that.
