   This attitude is how you attract the attention of many grey/black hat types willing to make you look foolish. I'm curious how long before someone accepts this as a challenge to expose truly damaging security missteps in the state

   I think availability of diverse content is important. You need varying views of every situation and often times there is a bias that originates or caters to the country of origin. American cinema is pretty bad about this too, almost every A

   I hope GitHub is willing to put a stop to this, seems like a stretch. Where this thread of logic end? Should python be blocked by DMCA because it is used to compile code that facilitates copyright infringement?

   I highly suggest giving Rider (also by JetBrains) a try. They run most things in separate processes/threads instead of running everything in the UI thread like VS does. It's almost a drop-in replacement.

   OVH is pretty much useless for anything 'important'. Worked with a company that had a large spend account with them as part of our VM/VPS offering which was built on top of leased bare metal where OVH was handling all our Rou

   This is true, it's certainly gotten better since OVH introduced it. It's not so niche as BlackLotus, GigeNET, Arbor Networks, etc...

   Can you provide an example of how to mitigate a volumetric attack without significant reliance on intermediaries?

   I feel like the drivers did it to themselves. New York tried dedicated bus lanes and the drivers continued to use the dedicated bus lane any time police presence wasn’t obvious.

    It was down for 40 minutes, and the moment I posted this it came back up. Still no official word from Microsoft.

    I hope it does, and I hope it signals that they're going too far with their segmentation of subscription services. I subscribe to HBO. A subscription service that I have to pay for. Now they're going to introduce another subscript

    I feel like this is an end-run attempt to avoid right-to-repair legislation. While I hope for the best from this program, it seems to little to late and in direct opposition of prior arguments they’ve made concerning third-party repairs and

    I'll second Mullvad. Their interface is dead simple and the list of supported platforms/protocols is great. Quite permissive with 5 connections and port forwarding options. They actually detail how they attempt to never log the pa

    I didn’t intend to imply that you weren’t consistent. I think that consistency to ones beliefs is a positive thing. I just hope that change is possible when faced with evidence that may contradict ones beliefs. What I intended to imply is t

    Many other providers provide DDoS protection. Just not for free. Let them go to OVH, Azure, etc....

    I would argue that ‘people’ break the social contract. These people know where they are, what time it is, and mostly what’s expected of their surroundings. I think they just don’t care. I’m guessing it’s similar to anonymity on the Internet

    This is partially true, Azure has made some of these options available in a more affordable format. Additionally some features have been made available in lower level licenses. One example is any solution utilizing encryption at rest, a fea

    We were on the merchant side. First, PayPal doesn't like it when your dispute ratio increases. The best way to handle disputes as a merchant is just to give the customer what they want. Most times this is a refund. Second, when fraud o

    In this case they directly shorted two pins together though. That would give me pause to ask why the two pins existed in the first place. Something that should have led to the conclusion the author reached about the configuration.

    P.s. never ever link any account with shared funds to PayPal. Business or otherwise, open a completely separate account for PayPal if you must use it. Imagine having PayPal place a hold on the funds in your account to make sure refunds&#x2F

    PayPal manipulating, removing, or holding hostage the balance of your account? Yes that’s normal for PayPal. Getting a the runaround about how and why it happened? Yep, that’s expected too. Actually getting a non-form letter response of any

    Agreed. They reached out to Verizon privately, a Tier 1 carrier with expectations and responsibilities as a good netizen, and got no response. They attempted to reach out through Verizon's public forms of communication and got a bullsh

    I use Firefox, the other dev uses Internet Explorer, and the last dev uses Chrome. All kidding (but not kidding) aside. We’ve had luck with Selenium. As for the platforms, we actually have a Mac Mini, 2012 MBP, and two iPads that we use for

    This is the same old out of touch attitude that led to the “you wouldn’t steal a car would you” commercials. Nobody has to watch the content but they want to. You have fly-by-nights and unethical operations abounding that make everything on

    The problem is that now they want us to have a cable subscription to watch all our normal shows and a network specific subscription to watch our favorite shows. Look at what they’ve done with Star Trek as an example. They’re going hard on t

    IMO this is how social media ends itself. As real world consequences become less distant and people have to be more ‘politically correct’ where being ‘politically correct’ is a function of which political party is currently in charge, peopl
