I have been using this and I have got to say this is one of the best open source projects at least for me as I need to look up URLs reputation and this is highly helpful in how everything is organized as cards. One screen to get all the helpful information you need. I'm looking forward to the API version and if I could use this as a replacement for VT. I did notice one thing sometimes when you lookup a URL you don't get back any response and when you check network activity tab on a browser you see the requests are getting rejected

Been following your story from the beginning Michael, as around the time your tinypilot/KVM came out, I was having the same issues but never occurred to me or had the energy to tackle it. So glad you did and gave an insight to your journey, truly shows the amount of grit it requires to run a business and happy that you finally were able to close.

This is not purposefully, Arabic is the main language of the people living in the regions, the Arabs. Just because they're catering to that out and giving news accordingly to the local demographics, bringing speakers from there doesn't make it their viewpoints. If you want to accuse someone of pushing agenda then Western media outlets and outlets that pushed the "40 babies beheading" stories is more factual.

Surprisingly we are well aware about Whatsapp groups which surfaced few months ago where executives and other high position holders of tech companies targeted tech works who were just posting on their personal regarding this. Why didn't something like that make national headlines and pushed from more accountability? Easy to point finger at employees when employers have the upper hand

Things won't be calm till businesses actually understand that working with genocidal governments and then labelling it "it's just business" and gaslighting their employees opinions on it when they have values like "responsibility" and making employees attend these HR training for these values and then turning their back on when employees actually stand for this. Sad world on how we are all becoming complicit to this genocide based on their presumption that some people from Europe can just claim lands as theirs as their book said so.

Meta and Lavender 2 years ago

Reading this article and your comment makes one realize how weird it is that a company like TikTok can get a full force of US government against us but for a company under their own jurisdiction we still can't get a simple answer of whether WhatsApp is actually using "end-to-end" encryption as it's claiming and not selling any data of it's users?

The sheer arrogance of Westerners is one of the reasons I'm so biased against them and letting them enter any of the Muslim countries, like come on are we supposed to be taking lessons from people who gave us the Holocaust, the World wars, the Iraq war, the forceful displacement of Palestinians so they can create their own country. Are you people really that blind that you think whatever you think or values you have are the right ones? If that's true why do your governments still have a presence in defense contracts with these countries, if you're such upholders of these values why do you sell weapons to countries like Saudi Arabia, Israel etc which have proven that they cannot uphold human life. I have worked with the Westerners and someone who's born and raised here, I can tell you this much, there is good and bad in every nation but your bad is the worst every time and the arrogance you have has blinded you to accept your faults.

We might have our faults but our people are working towards progress, it takes time but we don't go bashing Western people and how they are the worst examples of humanity, even knowing their history and countless examples of genocides conducted by them and then denying it. Shame on you people and those who think they are the best examples. Next time when you're offered a job in a Middle East country, don't accept it simple as that instead of coming here, bashing and then saying money talks. Greed is all you guys know.

Then US has the audacity to whine about their own 9/11 while completely forgetting what they did to other countries.

Why Karachi Floods 6 years ago

I would say its both, not only Karachi was flooded but the whole Sindh and PPP has been in Sindh for the last 12-13 years. The Sindh provincial ministers during the early monsoon spell were even on the roads saying everything is okay and didn't even cleared out the nullahs for which NDMA had to be brought in. As long as there is no accountability in Pakistan I can easily say this country will never prosper. PPP keeps on playing politics and the victim card while making their ministers become billionaires, look at Zardari he spent the major part of his life and when released from prison becomes a billionaire instantly. Then there is his son Bilawal, its a line of vultures in Pakistan, just one after the another

Its funny how you mentioned only India and Pakistan and completely forgot about Bangladesh. There were three entities that came out of that partition, not two. These tensions are mostly man-made and not even related to independence, its mostly about India's claim that the two countries should be united and the people living there are similar to them while on the other hand Pakistan claims, they are different, Factually speaking, the Western part of Pakistan is more similar to Afghanistan and Iran, the Northern to China and only the East has some similarities with Northern India, not even the whole. Then there is Kashmir, should we blame that on the poorly-managed independence too? What about the province of Hyderabad or cities of Junagadh? Did the rulers there wanted to join India? It's not a competition about who is tolerant or not, its more about how to play this tolerance game so that they can rule easily and sadly only the common man suffers.

His creation of his own religion might be the reason that tensions still exist in that region or maybe its just people. Interestingly, he was a brilliant commander even though people call him illiterate, he preferred his own way of studying which meant understanding topics at his own pace instead of cramming. Just shows us how only education has nothing to do with being tolerant or being brilliant.

He's right about one thing, hashing is mostly for data integrity and encryption for confidentiality. So if passwords are leaked and the organization says don't worry, fortunately your password is encrypted but its better to change it, just in case when in reality they hashed it, they are just misleading their customers and not even trying to improve the password security they have in place.
