Regarding internet infrastructure, the fiber optic network seems to be quite robust these days. There are still places where it isn't available, but compared to e.g. the US it's an…

Also American, and I'm interested why you praise the education system. I have a child who will be entering the Andalusian system at some point and although it seems better than my …

Wait, really? I'm a native Midwestern/Great Plains American English speaker (I remember reading the Harry Potter books as a kid and wondering why all the -er words were spelled wro…

> weird systemd stuff I mean, if you have zero experience with systemd, then yes. By contrast, if you've ever worked with any systemd unit files at all, then all the "systemd stuff…

I'm not qualified to comment too heavily on Netflix's infra, but I'm fairly sure that they don't _exclusively_ use AWS. There are things they run there, sure, but I understand that…

Aha, thanks! So I think that raises the question of whether e.g. RHEL is affected. Technically it could be argued that they don't add any additional restrictions, but I wonder if C…

But the text says "or," not "and." So by my interpretation if you process user data but are available via "free, public" repo, you're not covered. I presume "free" is defined elsew…

I mean, where I work we offer machines to external users where they have shell access to be able to do their science, but I don't want them to have root access. Other institutes we…

I work in IT and have found that the issue impacts my work but not my ability to stream sports from sites of questionable legality. Of course, I don't pirate La Liga matches but th…

Which, to be fair, is easy to do because they used a triple-negative. Rephrased, they meant to say "there is no reason to remove support for quantum-vulnerable algorithms in the ne…

They encrypt your data insofar as your email, files, etc. but that doesn't mean they don't have information potentially useful to the authorities. See the recent headline where the…

Uhh I don't think that financial incentives are a valid reason to believe something is healthier or safer than an alternative. Unless I have missed some sarcasm.

True, and I don't know for sure either way. But in either case Twitter will notice it and post about it , I suppose. Honestly freedom.gov is almost the least annoying thing to be s…

At 11.30 CET it resolved for me on DIGI ES, but as a sibling comment pointed out, there's no soccer game on at the moment, so that's probably why. As for why it's blocked, isn't th…

Spanish ISPs comply because Spanish judges issue legal injunctions that obligate them to institute these blocks. Sure, Movistar/Telefónica would do it anyway (I understand that the…

I was hit with that on a remote box in another country! Should have researched the upgrade more before I did it, but it is a personal thing and not work. However, my IPMI motherboa…

Tuna-Fish said that instead of backing up the keys from your devices, you should create a specific backup key that is only ever used in case you lose access to all your devices. Th…

Well if we're including islands then Hawai'i is pretty far away...

I'm a different commenter but yeah, solutions exist. For example systemd-cryptenroll let's you use a FIDO token (or TPM or PKCS#11 smartcard) to unlock your encrypted disk and it's…

They already said "Chromium-based browsers."

Uhm you can curl https://api.protonmail.ch/pks/lookup?op=get&search=$email_ad... for any valid $email_address and get the public key. I have used this to send signed/encrypted mail…
