That summary on Quora is pretty decent and supports my statement of center-left positioning and that social democrats are probably the closest match. Some things like free tuition, free school meals are not really far left, but center-left

Good start mixing together communism with socialism (which can nicely coexist with capitalism). And then let me add a nice data point that won't fit your nice narrative: Sweden. While not quite as socialist nowadays compared to maybe i

Which policies do you mean exactly? Because I don't see anything on first glance or from memory that wouldn't be at home at your typical center-left social democrat party here in Europe.

Depends on how you define support. Legal for medical professionals to prescribe to children? If so, then quite a few EU countries do support that (with varying requirements of course). And the recently introduced abortion bill by the Democr

Except every node still needs an IPv4 address for that to work since it doesn't play nice with NAT. It also doesn't solve the issue of not being able to talk to IPv4-only hosts, since the issue is not the backbone or ISP anymore,

I think for that it's somewhat less critical, since it's a somewhat less common usecase to take this whole benchmark table and somehow continue data analysis on that. But for things like atomic data or various model setups that yo

The article explicitly said the servers are scattered across the various datacenters at the Falkenstein location - ergo not single-dc. Now you can argue about the amount of shared fate, but they are separate buildings and hetzner lists them

It's not single-DC (since they have multiple locations and multiple datacenters at those locations), but they are a single provider. However AWS is also a single provider. And as Facebook and large ISPs have demonstrated recently-ish,

It's already multi-datacenter, since the servers are distributed across multiple datacenters on the Falkenstein campus (and they also have other locations in their eco-system).

Which both mean that you cannot really trust Azure. Although the latter is an easy mistake to make for hosting providers and thus indeed a valid threat model. The theft scenario is exactly the reason why you wouldn't want to trust Azur

You are underestimating the reliability of modern servers by a lot (otherwise your EC2 instances or random VPS would randomly reboot way more often than they do since if the server crashes the VM is still gone). Also failed PSUs or hard dri

Then we are back to the starting point. If you are already trusting Azure what's exactly the threat model the encryption is supposed to protect against?

They are however the entity most capable of actually accessing the data for nefarious purposes. Any other entity would need to go through the hoster first, which means either mounting a physical attack on the actual data center or compromis

Not sure how the cloud helps here other than it essentially being pointless there since the VM hosting provider can just extract the crypto keys from memory (or already has the keys in the first place if one uses a managed product...).

While that is true, I cannot think of a real world scenario where it is relevant, since I don't think you can actually produce a specific plain text, but only corrupt certain sectors. And in case it is a real issue one can use ZFS or b

I think you are confusing PTP and NTP. NTP is in the range of low microseconds to a few milliseconds (with hardware time-stamping can actually do much better than that though), while PTP can synchronize time to better than 100ns.

It's not about companies inside it, but companies outside the country. And is it actually the norm? Since clearly even the US didn't have the Cloud Act until 2018. Was the US such a rare case until that recently?
173.
by welterde 5y ago
Not quite - only everything US-based, since they fall under the purview of the cloud act, which is incompatible with the GDPR (on purpose.. this is an entirely self-inflicted wound by the US).

But if IPv6 is disabled or are not using 6to4/6rd if no native connectivity is available are they really IPv6 capable?

Switch of CPU architecture is only a local problem. Switching the communication protocol is a local, remote and all the parts in between problem.

It doesn't really solve the main issue here in that IPv4-only hosts (which are not aware of IPv6-anything, have no 6to4, AutoIPv6, anything) cannot talk to IPv6 hosts. For the inverse direction there is the DNS64+NAT64 combo which work

How exactly would have that solved anything? It would have exactly the same transition issues IPv6 has, since the main issue is that IPv4-only hosts cannot communicate with IPv6-only hosts. And there is no way around that - for any alternat

IPv6 is pretty much IPv4 with more bits - at least compared to the alternative of the time that was CLNP/DECNet (which had 20byte addresses and is quite different). And the very slow transition hasn't really anything to do with th

by welterde 5y ago
With spoofed addresses (which are not uncommon in ddos attacks) you have exactly the same issue with IPv4. And I don't really see it making any difference if the packets contain 32bit of random information or 128bit.
