Colo scams are pretty common. Some percentage of people will offer to send expensive laptops, and the scammers can discard the rest of "interested customers". It is inviable to col…

This is CLEARLY a scam. There is no way they are partnering with Hetzner, or charging just 7€/month flat rate... they specifically want to know the model of the laptop, and offer t…

Session is not similar to Signal. Session aims to provide anonymity, Signal aims to provide privacy.

Internet mostly works in Spain when there is a match: one can see traffic figures from the mayor exchange points: they are unaffected. Big businesses are unaffected, since LaLiga w…

Well, I can tell you that in my country, a significant portion of the population sees it as a status symbol.

Uh? I live in a first world country (Spain) and the minimum wage is lower than the base iPhone Air price. Of course a lot of people can not afford it.

You are in a bubble: the anglosphere. In most of the world, the iPhone does not dominate the market.

I have no doubt that other providers use latency from probes as a data point. But IPinfo allows way more weight from this in their calculations, probably because they have develope…

They are not the cheapest, but most often will be one of the most accurate thanks to their latency triangulation.

They sell an alternative to AWS, but their website is hosted at AWS. Also, pointing the MX record to smtp.google.com will not help with receiving email.

Governments do not even need any of the providers to comply, they can access global NetFlow data. This is conveniently not discussed by any commercial VPN provider.

3G (which nowadays is 3.5G) is sufficient for you only because everyone else is on 4G or 5G.

You are using present tense, but there is not an opt-out option right now, and zero reasonably accesible documentation about it exists. Rolling out such a significant change with j…

This article is assuming that they are being truthful and indeed had access to limited hardware resources, which is doubtful to say the least.

I am surprised that no one has mentioned the most obvious alternative: Bing Cache. It is not as complete as Google's, but it is usually good enough.

You change the MX records to point to the new provider. No downtime. You also need to take care of SPF / DKIM / DMARC, but those records are for outbound mail.

This was the conclusion I reached after reading how it all developed back in the day. There was no independent monitoring/verification during the time this woman was supposedly in …

This story made the rounds in Spain when it first happened and was most likely false and staged.

CentOS 8 already reached its EOL in December 31st, 2021.

For context, this is not a random network cutting off access. Cogent Communications is one of the world's largest Tier 1 carriers.

All of this IP space is cybercrime-related. Most of it was initially obtained via fraud/corruption from AFRINIC and being currently announced by AS202425 (Ecatel, notorious crime h…

How ironic: ddosecrets.com is actually registered via a Bahamian company.
