If I am not mistaken, it is an option at 500 karma.

Didn't realize this was a thing, cool that it worked. As a loosely related note, there has been problems in the past where people come up with meanings for hand gestures without kn…

I can understand wanting stay anonymous; many companies are hostile towards people who find security vulnerabilities. If they have a real vulnerability and share it I'd accept thei…

Wow; that is a lot worse than I thought. I really wish IPv6 was better understood than it is now, it really is quite a good standard, but it is also quite a bit different than IPv4…

Of course it has its own website ;)

That looks like a sweet project. I'm happy to see web assembly being used in it too. I'll have to add it my long list of things I want to get around to tinkering with.

It is really nice, OpenVPN is good, but it is definitely harder to configure, and slower. I also like that it is hard to shoot yourself in the foot with Wireguard given it is reall…

Yeah; she had the permits. It was kinda funny from the outside because people kept complaining to the county and the county kept pushing back saying it was approved. That shed must…

Alright; fair enough. If I am willing to give criticism I need to also be willing to be criticized. I stand by my original comment though. I really don't think the team should take…

Awesome writeup; I used SnapServ and so far the guy that runs it has been nothing but awesome. I am not experienced what it comes to this specific area of networking since it is my…

Yeah; I definitely think for kids it has a certain novelty that makes the hospital stay more interesting and enjoyable. I don't think this could scale beyond a fun novelty though; …

Darn, your reply reads as super harsh. Also a reply on hacker news is not the place for me to go into a complete peer review of this research. I am merely pointing out that they ar…

The cease and desist seemingly has no real legal basis, but I mean you can send a cease and desist for anything you want. My mom was building a shed on her property, some neighbors…

As a computer scientist who makes a living from developing new technology, I hate that many of my peers seem to think the solution to every problem is a piece of technology or some…

It is kinda funny, right before this whole Facebook thing happened I started trying to explore BGP more. I actually found a really cool guide( https://labs.ripe.net/author/samir_ja…

At least for me, a big part of my problem with Facebook is both its size and blatant ethical breaches. Obviously most large social networks are guilty of similar problems, but Face…

Yeah; it sounds like that is maybe the case. Reminds me of the concern around a "dark start" if the power grid goes down where you can't bring up certain power plants because they …

Interesting; I have been noticing a lot of service are unstable today. I wonder if there is a larger outage.

I did this when I was in high school for fun. I used a poorly designed comment system somebody designed and used it to transfer files around hidden in gibberish comments. Maybe not…

Not sure how that is marketing to criminals. Looks like they are selling privacy, which is something many people desire, not just criminals.

There is an argument to be made for having some things remain closed, and obscured from public view. If a company/group has an experienced and large internal audit team that review…

This whole thing was the final straw to get me to switch away from iPhone. I decided to get a PinePhone, even though they are not ready for primetime, I am an embedded OS developer…

Seriously? For one, this is basically a warrantless search which is illegal (obviously they get around this because Apple is a private company). Also, trusting algorithms for criti…

Wow, I am surprised Apple is taking this route. It's not like iCloud was a haven for sharing illegal content. I love the security features of iOS but honestly this may have pushed …

To counter your first point about school vaccination, I live in the US and the state I live in has very few exemptions which also apply to the COVID-19 vaccine. There are religious…
