"Cher compatriote, voici, rédigé avec mes clavier et mulot, mon programme de l'an 2000 que j'ai après la dissolution..."

Get ready to hear something along the lines of "Rules for thee but not for me"...

My belief is that the AI business is all about data collection. The value isn't so much in the quality of the models (that's what enterprise customers and developers pay to get), b…

I make the analogy with a company, because on that front, ownership seems to matter a lot in the Western world. It's like it had to have unfaithful management appointed by another …

A little bit of imagination, and we end up with hardware-backed attestation required to contribute source code, that certifies the author isn't an AI!

I believe the solution to this kind of problems is that enough legislators (thinking of USA, EU) make it illegal to require a certain implementation of a software client to use an …

Historically, these have been issued by "consumer credit" specialized banks like Sofinco; and retail chains ("carte Aurore"); traditional banks would seldom advertise them, if offe…

The "they" is any corporation that has an interest in the user not controlling their system, and whom this technology caters to. This sea has plenty of fish already. Streaming serv…

Exactly. It's beyond me that people have to fight to use what they own as they please, or even are asked to justify themselves...

> any IP in a /64 is the same as a single IP in a /32 in IPv4 This is very commonly true but sadly not 100%. I am suffering from a shared /64 on which a VPS is, and where other fol…

That's the thing. I can only provide a piece of software with the guarantee it can run on my OS. It can trust my kernel to let it run, but shouldn't expect anything more. The edito…

Whoever uses this seeks to ensure a certain kind of behavior on a machine they typically don't own (in the legal sense of it). So of course you can make it optional. But then softw…

Please don't bring attestation to common Linux distributions. This technology, by essence, moves trust to a third party distinct of the user. I don't see how it can be useful in an…

You will be able to do this kind of filtering only on systems where you'll be allowed to run arbitrary code. This capability will be exclusive from running mainstream apps, because…

The 10-year-old me is still trying to understand why altering the lyrics of his song, in the metadata of a WMA file, does not change what's heard on the record... Byrne has to be a…

> People complain about lack of space, misc fees etc. But when it comes down to it, people for the most part, still pick the cheapest flight. This is true. One thing I note is that…

Il vous en prie.

However in Cologne, to my big surprise, trams, despite running in the streets and in a real maze of crossings underground, manage to always be on time when I use them. S-Bahns on t…

> Is there even a legitimate use for a public TXT record for corporate devices? Assuming there isn't and blocking them will break applications. I realized my local resolver validat…

This. There's a choice regarding data identifying you that's made by someone who's not you. I'm also thinking of 2FA things many corporations mandate, requiring the use of a phone …

Unless it's security by obscurity, releasing the source code of the entire infrastructure should never result in all systems becoming compromised. So, assuming the API is run over …

The only barrier for me to go IPv6-only is those VPS that are provided with a single /128 IPv6, and I do not know of a service that would offer IPv6 tunneling other than HE, that r…

Not having to ask the public facing IP address of some NAT-performing router is one of the good sides of IPv6. I'm wondering what uses there are of such a service, besides dynamic …
