I’m shocked to hear that I am apparently living under totalitarianism, and would love to see some concrete examples of this dramatic shift in Labour party policy, rather than vague…

@gavinhoward Just FYI, a couple of links in the article are broken: * The "incomplete list" of C UB currently points to the Rust spec vision * The link labelled "unreasonable progr…

That isn’t the premise of the article, that is the “common wisdom” the author corrects as the article goes on. The author goes on to list video games as an example of where UDP mak…

Much of your traffic is probably passing through Hurricane Electric servers already, given their position on the backbone ( https://he.net ).

An operating system from 2018 which is no longer maintained by its vendor? https://www.linuxmint.com/rel_tara_cinnamon_whatsnew.php I think it's somewhat unreasonable to expect sof…

The Vercel IPv6 feature request & surrounding discussion makes for frustrating reading: https://github.com/orgs/vercel/discussions/47

Dismissing the Summa Theologica as “borderline schizophrenic nonsense” makes me believe you’re just trolling here.

Was this its raw response to the same query as in the OP? It seems odd it would provide a response using variables named with underscores, rather than using spaces, or more traditi…

Having done a couple of their courses without paying: You are expected to complete the project in steps they define (so for their Redis project, step 1 is to bind to a port, step 2…

Being a current user of Migadu: I’m not sure what they’ve written there is actually correct. When I’ve gone over the outgoing message limit, I’ve received no warning, no 25% margin…

Good point, I think I misinterpreted the conversation in the second screenshot. I think the point is still relevant though: if these are the ASNs connected to a server which you kn…

I agree it’s not a TOS violation, but I do think it could potentially be a shitty move to post the ASN from which a specific user is connecting to your service, if they’ve not said…

The author of Leptos has some great YouTube videos talking about Rust for the front-end, especially the performance aspect: https://youtube.com/@gbjxc

Ah of course, sorry, teaches me to speak without thinking.

Not entirely certain, but I think to some degree this is a way for the network to say, “I will not respect your privacy, so don’t try”. If a network implements DNS-based content fi…

This kind of attitude strikes me as an excellent way to avoid ever pursuing introspection or self-improvement. Do you have any examples of criticism you’ve received in the past whi…

I probably should have said “can be”. The way RSA is often explained just details the mathematics, and explains how a message could be encrypted directly using RSA. It’s then not a…

The author definitely should have clarified this. The standard is to use ECC for key exchange only. This can be done entirely offline - each party chooses a random secret scalar, a…

I’m not crazy about this guide to be honest. For symmetric encryption, if you’re recommending Salsa20/ChaCha20, it is absolutely necessary to discuss nonce management, since this i…

I think this was copied from Latacora’s cryptographic right answers without some of the necessary context. It’s specifically talking about the KMS offerings from AWS/Google Cloud, …

AES-CBC with a random IV and solid HMAC should be fine, but the point is that, for a non-cryptographer, putting together an authenticated encryption construction yourself has poten…

Be very careful when infusing your own oil. Botulism is a real concern, it is often necessary to soak your aromatics in a citric acid solution before infusing.
