The article wasn’t great at laying out the concepts at the start. As I understand it, the big idea is essentially a bloom filter as the first phase of a retrieval.

No idea if it’ll trigger a lockout, but if it does at least I have a copy of my photos already. Been running it for a couple years without issue. But yes your milage may vary.

Yeah that’s the one. I do have a Mac so it didn’t seem difficult to me, but I accept it will be for those that don’t.

I’ve got hundreds of emails from the early 2010s between a couple of coworkers and myself that I can no longer read because they were S/MIME encrypted and I’ve got no idea what happened to my keys or even if my current client supports

They tried this years ago with ICRA and others. Long gone, but it worked by the webmaster adding metadata to self classify a site. Browsers and other agents could then allow/deny after inspecting the tags. https://sk.sagepub

While this is likely what the op was suggesting, I would like to point out that in Australia and NZ, it can be a massive pain to find someone who will ship internationally. Normally this is for things like Amazon US, and other US-based comp

Note: Java compiler versions from 9 onwards have lost the ability to -target 1.5 and earlier. Sometimes you still need Java 8 to compile for super old programs — think decades old IoT devices too small to handle newer JVMs that you still ne

And that’s what the IETF uses but djb doesn’t like.

Within the IETF it’s not 100%. See section 3.3 of one of their RFCs for proof. https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2418.html#section-3.3 “ Working groups make decisions through a "rough consensus" process. I

In practice, many gas stations have VPNs to various services, typically via multiple VPN links for redundancy. There’s no reason why this couldn’t be yet another service going over a VPN. Gas stations didn’t stop selling gas during this out

I call them Wise now, have for at least a year. I first joined years before they renamed. Wise is a lot quicker to say.

Correct. This is not something Wireguard does, which was the original comparison. tinc: One public node, thousands of private nodes, with NAT punching. That's fine and typical in my experience.

Last I checked, tinc supported NAT port punching natively.

Do you upload events to a remote location? How is your storage box secured against theft? That’s my biggest concern for doing local cctv- if you are robbed, they’ll grab anything that looks of value.

It’s been years but I’ve likely used NAT to redirect ICMP pings so the local firewall responds rather than whatever boat they were trying to reach. Systems change - a server that once used to respond to pings may no longer do so, but client

Kids are social and like playing and learning from other kids. Daycare lets them do just that. It’s a great thing and every toddler I’ve met who wasn’t in daycare was behind in something. Especially verbal skills. Plus daycare allows women
