Agree. Proof of ID in the UK often means copies of utility bills. You can fill out your own with an online template pretty easily. Inside the UK you don't even need to bother with the notarization requirement. It is indeed backwards. Y

This is the answer. Google play services and related privileged components are the non-open source blob hoarding data, along with whatever backend services you use from Google. These components are part of the stock android image that comes

I would disagree. One of the problems of operating a VPN is that it is somewhat like operating a tor exit node: bad traffic is absolutely going to exit your infra. This means if you're renting VPSes or whatever you need a tolerant host

I am not the original poster, but there are a few reasons to pick Wireguard. Performance is better due to the in-kernel drivers, UDP design and crypto choices. If you're simply looking for the fastest option wireguard is it. Openvpn&#x

I'd say more like none at all. The last Labour government (1997-2010) passed the counter terrorism act and had multiple public arguments about how long suspects could be detained without being charged or released in their future legisl

I agree and apparently so does the CA/B forum: SC085: Require DNSSEC for CAA and DCV Lookups is currently in intellectual property review. DCV is CA/B speak for domain-control validation; CAA = these are my approved CAs. This seem

The argument counter dnssec is that if you are trying to find some random A record for a server, to know if it is the right one, TLS does that fine provided you reasonably trust domain control validation works i.e. CAs see authentic DNS. An

I agree with this to some extent. I am from the UK, which is pretty monolingual and with the same advantage as the US: we're native English speakers. So I think we do have a slight advantage, or put another way the incentive to learn a

I don't think it is an odd take. I live in Switzerland, which has 4 national languages (Swiss German is spoken in dialect form that varies between towns, while Romansh has well-defined idioms with distinct spelling, although the 5 or s

Yes, except that the "votations" happen 4x per year. Here are all the next ones: https://www.bk.admin.ch/ch/f/pore/va/vab_1_3_3_1.html Each will have 1-4 issues (approx) scheduled. Elections fo

Further additions to your comment. Expanding on your downside: Big reforms like giving women the right to vote only took effect in 1971 on the federal level. On a cantonal level, Appenzell-Innerhoden had to be forced into it in the 90s by t

Only if the entire address space for that process is built using memory safe code (different from necessarily marked "safe" in the rust sense) and only if there are no soundness bugs in the rust compiler. Otherwise C code can muck

I worked at a software vendor where we would check the type of product and yes you needed our server product to run on their server product, whether or not you used the server as a server. Not all software does this but I also don't re

This is what is done for code and document signing, because you want the signed object to continue to be valid even after the certificate expires. However it has a tradeoff: you cannot remove any certificate from a CRL if revoked, ever. Und

Also given automatic iPhone backup it might contain information they want as part of an investigation that they'd otherwise have to demand key disclosure for (if cloud backup didn't exist)... Absolutely. The jail time for failure

I don't really understand your comment to be honest. Section 3 of the Regulation of Regulatory Powers Act 2000 allows for compelled key disclosure (disclosure of the information sought instead of the key is also possible). Schedule 7 o

A lot of their endpoints are rented or hosted from ASes that are well known, e.g. M247 Ltd. If I wanted to vastly reduce annoying VPN traffic, I'd simply block these ASes as well. That's likely the cause of these. There isn't

Honestly the answer depends on your personal requirements. If you want a product exactly like Google's offering you are not likely to find it. Somewhat like if you buy into the Apple ecosystem, buying into the Google ecosystem is desig

I am not at all related to the business or the poster, and I have lived in Switzerland for a long while now. This is a fairly standard range for software engineer salaries. 100k is on the junior end, 140k is on the senior end.

Agree. Plus recruiters also sometimes reach out. There is quite a high signal to noise as always, but, it can be worth it. You don't need to engage in all the influencer crap at all, just ignore that and use it to be found by recruiter

Obviously. But I was responding to "what is sinister about a GET request". To put it a slightly different way, it does not matter so much whether the request is a read or a write. For example DNS amplfication attacks work by askin
