So you want to take advantage of European quality of life, social nets and infrastructure, but you don't want to help pay for it? How very American.

$35 for 6 meals for two people at McDonalds? What?

Where I live, one meal at McDonalds is about $12. So 6 * 2 * 12 = $144. Not that much of a difference.

Also, if you aimed for 2200 calories per person per day with that $170, then it isn't really fair comparing to a single McDonald's meal, is it? It sounds like buying whole foods is cheaper.

My site is https://unorde.red. I haven't updated in a while, unfortunately.

That 6 week minimum (actually 28 days) includes bank holidays, doesn't it? I suspect the 2 week standard in the US does not include public holidays.

If platforms tighten the noose, you'll see people gravitate back towards p2p.

People stopped torrenting because Netflix and company made it extremely easy and more affordable to consume a wide range of media. Affordable enough that the hassle of torrenting was no longer worth it. If that changes, you'll see a resurgance.

I wrote about sphere packings and their relation to lattices here: https://nullset.xyz/2016/12/11/lattices-and-sphere-packings/

Did you read the article? The author got consent.

I had this problem too back when my work laptop was an MBP.

Just disable the mouse in your vimrc, you'll be better off for it.

You are missing something about HTTPS: you can't produce a valid certificate for the site you're trying to impersonate, and therefore users would notice.

HTTPS operates on the assumption that DNS is insecure.

What's the advantage of this over OpenVPN?

Wow, 1.35Tbps? That's a lot for a DoS attack, right?

What do you consider expensive? You can easily get a VM with 1TB bandwidth for $5 a month.

Why is that a problem though? Should people in an arbitrary country need to learn English?

Also, could you provide a source for the fact that English literacy rates are actually decreasing? I find that difficult to believe.

Though not relevant to the bulk of your comment, could you elaborate or provide some relevant links on why apache compares favorably to nginx when used properly?

(In a pinch you do log 2 by taking the log and dividing by the log of 2)

In a pinch it's easier to reason that since 2^10 = 1024, 2^11 = 2048, and 1626 lies between those two numbers, log_2 1626 is a bit more than 10.

Memorizing powers of two is useful for lots of quick mental estimation!

You can find walkthroughs by googling a bit (I myself wrote walkthroughs for the last 4 levels), but I'd highly recommend doing it without cheating. The amount you learn from figuring it out yourself is exponentially more than what you learn from reading a walkthrough. Most important is how you learn to think, by carefully looking for vulnerabilities and examining what you have control over and how the program uses your input.

Spend enough time learning the instruction set and the concepts involved and the answers will become apparent.

Do you have any advice for breaking into the field? I'm nearing the completion of a CS master and want to get into security. I completed Microcorruption a half year ago and loved it. I'm also mostly through Cryptopals, but I don't know anything about what the field looks like in practice. What kind of job openings (or titles) should I be looking for?
