Well, yeah. This was one of the significant reasons against Cloudflare's DoH too. They want all Firefox users to use their DNS resolver and deprive the ability of competing DNS-based CDNs (most CDNs) to pick good nodes in Firefox. I&#x

It's a translated with DNS64 ipv4 address into a NAT64 ipv6. They have 64:ff9b prefix.

Not true, it's pretty hard to encounter anyone in the industry using the phrase "race condition" without implying a bug.

Didn't we go over this already? It's not any behavior that depends on timing sequences, it's only if your code assumes it can rely on timing sequences while it can't, i.e. a bug.

Some authoritative DNS servers may respond with incorrect IP addresses for specific IP subnets of an ISP (i.e. pointing to unreachable or slow far away servers), so it could be useful to fix this either statically or by forwarding domains t

Not biological warfare, just wars, humanity is still armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons. And ebola-level threats can rise on their own without warfare.

They can only do that as long as there aren't many remote companies who compete for workers. If remote work becomes more mainstream they will have to compete globally. There are already tech companies that don't look at local sala

Well, in the context of privacy decentralization doesn't have a lot of meanings. Just a couple, like leaking as little information as possible to a single party and giving as little control as possible to a single party, because if you

End users are not coerced by operators, they are the operators on their own devices and can do whatever the hell they want. The primary goal of DoH as proposed and implemented is to take away that ability from end users, hide that control f

They still can for everyone else, probably everyone you talk to over Signal, so not much of a protection. Pretty much the only way to avoid that is for Signal to give up that control, don't supply Signal directly and let others build S

Signal may or may not be ok at the moment, but not in a couple of years (it has all the power to silently push an update with a backdoor). Among all the popular messaging apps only Telegram is in a position to not cooperate with five eyes.

That's just an ideology you subscribe to and fail to recognize that SJW may seem like creepy disrespectful totalitarian garbage by others who don't. You can't demand anyone to follow your ideology out of respect.

That's not an extra hop, but essentially two different paths with many different hops instead of a more direct one. I'm sure there will be edge cases where this can be faster due to one of those factors, but for most destinations

No, he's correct here, it's an extra indirection and so overall it can only hurt performance, not improve it. For example, ISPs often have caching servers from Google installed and Google is the biggest traffic generator. If you r

Trust with what? Warp is specifically designed to reveal your IP address. This is as anti-privacy VPN as a VPN can be. Which is absolutely not surprising coming from a US corporation.
