You can use a standard subway ticket

almost. the airport is one stop into zone C, and a “standard” ticket would only be valid in zones A and B.

you need either an ABC ticket or a standard ticket + extension ticket.

you’re not all that far off

* you’d have to sign up with a colo provider first. since data centers in physical buildings, this just depends on where you live

* when you sign up with them they provide you with info like ip addresses or how to connect to their network (they might have dhcp, or you might have to configure static ips). usually there is a initial setup fee, around 1 month of rent.

* if you just rent a a 1U space you usually can get physical access to it while accompanied by someone working for the data center. usually this is during business hours, but each data center will have its own rules. if you rent larger units, such as a full rack (42U) or half a rack you usually get a key card and can access it 24/7 (this usually involves a phone call for them to remotely open a lock)

in this context it means "to give up".

Varje meddelande att motsåndet ska uppges är falskt.

a more direct translation: "Every message that resistence should be given up is false"

some years ago i ran a vpn service together with a friend. we had the second skill set you mentioned, but not the first.

we didn’t overhype the privacy aspect (and would in fact explain what _wasnt_ private about vpns, not that anyone was interested in listening) and primarily existed to serve a customer base for other reasons.

it was a good experience, but it went nowhere really. but i did quickly figure out that almost every large vpn provider out there has more of the first skill set you mentioned.

oracle cloud free tier gives you two small instances with public ips

it’s not limited to 1 year like aws, they say it will be free forever

https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/

you can find out which zone is mapped to use1-az4 for your account with awscli:

    aws ec2 describe-availability-zones | jq -r '.AvailabilityZones[] | select(.ZoneId == "use1-az4") | .ZoneName'

what’s the camera like ?

How do you push and install a Debian package with scp?

hey, i set up a mirror here: https://mirrors.deadops.de/ti/

and a zip file (8gb) here to download in bulk (or for others to make their own mirrors): https://mirrors.deadops.de/ti.zip

my mirror is here: https://mirrors.deadops.de/ti/

zip file (8gb) here: https://mirrors.deadops.de/ti.zip

never uploaded anything to libgen, but i am setting up a http mirror of this and will also provide a .zip file, to make it easy for others to download the whole collection.

posting the link here when its done, then someone else can submit this to libgen and other places.

You can’t really stop people from finding your face online if it’s on social media, but you can present the information so that you’d first read the text and then see a photo.

Move the photo on the profile to the bottom of it, and make it optional.

What if the photo is optional and displayed at the bottom? Showing a practically mandated photo first puts a lot of unconscious biases in your head.

This is a relatively new trend, and probably has something with social media to do.

well-managed environment (ie one that has non-rudimentary window management and a browser/extension that handles idle tabs with negligible ongoing resource use).

Can you elaborate on this? Which extensions are you talking about?

I also rack up hundreds of tabs and my browser is often the main resource hog for me. I’ll often have to kill -9 it to force it to start with “oops we crashed, here are your previous tabs in an unloaded state”, but it sounds like you have a better way of doing this

What are you currently using them for? Are they just sitting dormant ?

twitter isnt the place for reasonable nuanced discussion, if you think facebook et al. are bad then you are supposed to agree with the hyperbolic black and white language.

although this isnt twitter, i sometimes feel like the commenters on HN have spent too much time on twitter. i cant stand opinionated twitter "personalities" that tweet more than they code, and it's been bleeding over to other places as well.

The gradient on the titlebar was from windows 98 btw, windows 95 didn't have it.

Or use `at` to run `iptables-restore`. Simpler than setting up a cronjob (and if youre doing it manually, cron has a bunch of gotchas that at least bite me in the ass once in a blue moon).

What's the difference between the dongles on the Wiedehopf buyig guide and a "generic" RTL-SDR dongle?

This is a good primer. https://thehustle.co/rocket-internet-oliver-samwer

Curious, were you much older than the other students in college?

The "tech interviews" are way too often more about stroking their own egos than to understand how the candidate works.

If you seriously think VoD services were going to operate using standards without DRM in place I'm not sure you'll find many productive conversations on this topic.

I know you are completely right. But I'm still not happy about it and I will still complain about it.

The technical ineffectiveness of DRM isn't something that needs to be explained on HN, this is absolutely about business people and lawyers getting too much power without having the necessary technical understanding.

While I'm waiting for the solution on that, I'll continue watching torrented shows that are obviously Netflix screencaps.

Also Sweden does not extradite anyone that has a chance of facing the death penalty.

And Assange said he would allow himself to be extradited to if Manning was commuted. She was, Assange is still in the Ecuadorian embassy.

The UK has much favourable extradition treaties with the US than Sweden has.

Completely off topic, but this thread is a bit old anyway. Did you use the this nick on #linux.is@ircnet a "couple" of years ago ?

Also there are other countries than the US

Slightly related, I ran nmap scans on the known NK internet for a while.

If you set your DNS TTL to a relatively-low 1 minute (as in the POC), that's 31.9 years for an exhaustive search.

Right, but that assumes a new DNS record is created each time. An attacker might simply have records for the entire 127.0.0.0/8 range and would iterate over them.

It would still take a long time to make an exhaustive search, but it will be faster than waiting for a 1 minute TTL between each try.
