Nope. Some even refuse to print black and white when yellow ink tuns off.

I personally burned out. Yes free internet was helpful when I was discovering my gay sexuality. Now it hypercharges the cult of youth and beauty, making it impossible to date.

Yes, I was great advocate of self hosting, till due to combination of ADHD and other stuff my domain expired and was taken by squatter. And the incessant DDoSing.

And the tone-deaf arguments completely ignoring that there are bad people on the internet too. Talking about online anonymity when google has most of your email even if you don't use it. And Cloudflare has most of your traffic, unencrypted.

Repercussions happen all the time. That nothing happened in this one case does not prove or disprove anything.

You don't have the right to say anything NOW already. Please wake up.

Yep, pretending we have anonymity online is a nonsense.

By painting everything so black and white you're doing propaganda too, are you aware?

Freedom of expression is not absolute and never was.

Should everyone just shrug off anonymous hoaxes and hate speech?

What do you think the actual bandwidth speed on the voyager or new horizons is. You are spending lot of time sending the data anyway.

Does it solve the brine problem? Usually the seawater must be heavily treated first before desalination and the resulting brine causes ecological problems when discharged.

If you don't understand what the library is doing, and blindly put in local time without any consideration, you will get bitten someday. And all libraries use the same timezone database/logic anyway and run into same issues the author describes.

Humans would often fail such appointments too.

This is incredibly bad summary. If it were about prescription meds, they can be bought on gray market, problem solved.

It would make blacklisting compromised networks easier at least.

It would have an edge if it had inbuilt protection against spoofing. However now that there are big actors that profit off DDoS mitigation....

Or any other feature genuinely lacking from IPv4. Merely having unique address for every grain of sand on the planet isn't enough.

And before you go on objecting that a physical true RNG remains better than a could-theoretically-be-broken CSPRNG, understand that your random output often must have no detectable bias to be secure. That means a distribution so uniform you can’t detect a bias even after analysing 2^64 samples.

Why not, actually? I would think simple and trivially auditable HW RNG with, say, only 0.9 bits of entropy per output bit (raw! no whitening) is preferable to "perfect" but fragile algorithm.

Anything that requires the randomness in practice has enough overhead so that the 90% good entropy is not a problem. Failures caused by wrong assumptions and complications are.

being wrong and insisting on being wrong is

They should at least call the army right, as "Warsaw Pact army". Specifically the Fulda gap breach was not planned to be sparheaded by Soviet army but they would send Czechoslovaks first into the meat grinder IIRC.

Many bots open new TCP connection for every request, which is incredibly wasteful but leads to easy filtering via ipt_hashlimit firewall rules. Browsers and other well behaved clients work fine with limit as low as 3 connections per minute per IP. It avoids the SSL handshake overhead too. YMMV of course, but worth trying out.

no it was reply to "i just dont want cloudflare ai-scanning my blog, seeing the word "DDoS" because i am in networking, and proactively removing my site from the internet."

Your account can get terminated for any other random nonsense though. Happens all the time, with cloudflare, google, github, everywhere. Everyone just pretends that "this can't happen to me". You want cyberspace free from any "evil" state jurisdiction, nor "coddling" so this is what you get.

The former cyber-libertarians are running the tech unicorns now. Ofc they would prefer you see them as John Galts lol. But they aren't that and they will defend freedom of cyberspace only as far as it aligns with their power and profit.

Since monopolies make stuff scarce and expensive, you basically want free market for violence, it should be be cheap and abundant?

And all the DDoS and crytocurrency extortions and scams should extend to meatspace too, and you would be okay with it because it's supposedly still better than what govts do?

If you have friends with some shared meaning then anything is easy.

Everyone else can get get strip mined for attention and croak, you don't care.

Good? You would need the dashboard climate controlled all the time otherwise the algae gets sterilised in the sun. On the other hand, if you park underground all day, must provide light otherwise it dies. Either way it will eat your battery in no time.

Such an idea might be a good startup pitch for gullible investors but won't survive clash with reality.

The peaches have similar problem with fungal diseases like bananas. The best tastiest varieties can't be mass grown anymore.

You know about busy beavers? These programs do fit in few bits, yet the number of states they can reach does not.

If we suddenly needed huge amounts of textile or clothing, we would run into same issues. This is not about progress as such.

It's subtler than that. Europe was just constantly reminded by its big brother not to duplicate NATO structures, which are dependent on the US.

Well, afaik Farnsworth fusor is neither new invention, nor it can achieve over unity. Still a big achievement!

"The incident is raising alarm over the risks of centralized control as governments worldwide push similar schemes."

Good, such things could never happen in the US then./s

But seriously, can we stop such stupid soundbites?
