> The people complaining that Cloudflare hosts these criminals would be the first ones complaining that Cloudflare has too much power when taking down websites it doesn’t like.

It'd be interesting if you could point to a single example of someone taking both sides. I strongly doubt these are the same people.

I thought propofol was the "Michael Jackson drug", not fentanyl.

If the TSA isn't even a jobs program anymore, what is it?

Yup I saw your other reply and totally makes sense -- networking related or adjacent, but not quite networking-proper type roles. Thanks for your replies.

Your linked 1+ hour video includes things like IATA airport codes for geolocation and such. None of that is relevant to the fact that all traceroute implementations make use of very basic networking fundamentals: in particular, by sending out a series of packets with artificially limited TTL, to [hopefully] receive ICMP type 11 code 0 "TTL expired" packets from the hops along the path to your target.

Traceroute is simple. Sure, there's lots you can do to enrich the data you receive (e.g, reverse DNS and geolocation), or sending multiple sequences to identify equal cost multipath. But these are not inherent or necessary to perform a traceroute.

And understanding why different protocols exhibit different behavior / observe different metrics, or why some nodes don't send ICMP TTL expired, is important. But that's more in line with what you call "using it to troubleshoot", which is not "how it works."

But "how traceroute works" is simple: First you send a packet with TTL=1, then you send a packet with TTL=2, and so on. That's it, that's how it works.

> Aside: asking how traceroute works is one of my interview questions, most people don't know...

Curious what type of roles you interview for, are they networking-centric? Iirc this is CCNA-level material, I'd expect anyone working in networking to be able to describe how traceroute works. I've used it more as a smoke test question than a question that most people don't know.

Title doesn't match the article, which says 2M people, not 2M customers.

> the threat actors managed to steal data containing the personal information of Dollar Tree and Family Dollar employees.

I don't see any indication that customers are impacted.

> A formatter is pretty essential when working in a team.

I worked on a team without a formatter for more than 5 years. I'm certain many people have done the same. "Essential" is overselling.

I did not interpret the comment that way, they didn't frame it negatively or "can't do".

Personally, based on the 3.5 and 4.0 responses in this thread, I prefer 3.5.

I think you may be missing my point. How does one user serving malicious content from githubusercontent.com not result in the takedown/blacklisting of all users' content on githubusercontent.com?

Sure, I understand how github.com is protected here, but I'm also unaware of github pages being totally blacklisted by Google even though I'm certain there have been malicious pages hosted there.

You can only limit the blast radius so much if the product itself is "hosting user content."

OK but still, if your primary product is hosting user generated websites, it's a problem even if your "corpsite" marketing page stays up while your entire product is down.

How does github pages or neocities, for example, handle this kind of thing? Surely I can't bring down every github page by linking to a malicious Google drive file from my own page?

> To answer your question more succinctly, because the poster isn't the only person who will read these comments.

I would bet the poster you replied to had the same intent.

> This type of post is actually more disruptive than the post you're replying to.

As is yours. The author of that comment has contact information in their information, why not unicast them?

Parent comment was likely referring to authoritative DNS, not Cloudflare's public resolvers.

Neither local nor free?

Fiber is not ubiquitous. Many of us are still on DOCSIS over copper, in which case the person you are replying to is exactly correct: upload speed can be reduced for additional download speed.

One of the comments on the article gives one example:

> When our product’s uninstaller sees an undeletable file (possibly a DLL loaded in another process), it uses the MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT flag to mark it for deletion, and warns the user “Please reboot as soon as possible to remove the remaining files.”

> However, some user uninstall our product, just to be able to reinstall it later, to the same location. And of course they ignored the warning. Once they reinstalled it, everything works, until a reboot.

I believe the entire Car Talk catalog(or maybe just "Best of Car Talk", but still many years worth) is available on the NPR site / app, if streaming is an option for you.

I know a lot of sales engineers - the ones that make up numbers and bullshit customers don't last very long. Anecdotally, I know of sales engineer interviews which will push you to the point of saying "I don't know" -- not being willing to admit what you don't know means not getting the job.

I'm in this boat. I have valid credentials for my (now deceased) dad's Gmail account. But I can't login because Google doesn't trust my valid credentials and insists on sending a recovery code to a phone number that hasn't been in service for a decade.

His hotmail account I can get into no problem. There used to be a time when you would trust Google ten times more than Microsoft not to mess with your account, lock you out, delete you for inactivity. Those days are long gone, fuck Google.

> lonliness is a "pandemic" of sorts

It sure is.

RFC 6598? Interfaces needing an address does not mean the business needs to own IP address space.

Always take anything a recruiter says with several large grains of salt.

> They also could stop price-gouging the consumers on the packs, which is one of the reasons people want to repair them to begin with.

This is a huge piece of it, stop ripping us off! This has been going on for decades -- from NiMH battery packs for power tools, to laptop batteries.

I assume a big difference in the danger aspect with the bike batteries is their size/capacity? Less to go wrong with a 2AH cordless drill battery, than a 20AH bike battery?

I imagine you apply this rule equally to "j-ph-eg" images?

> Registry agreements don't allow registries to retroactively reclassify domains as "premium".

On what do you base this? Registration agreements allow quite a lot in favor of registrars and registries.

I'm saying take it easy on Namecheap because it's out of their control, and would have happened regardless of the registrar you used for that particular domain. The incompetence is on the part of the registry, for not having properly identified the given domain as premium until post-registration.

That's on the registry, not the registrar. Point your anger at whoever owns that TLD.

You just blew my mind.

Usually one of the following ways:

1) know someone who is already on the inside, who has earned enough reputation to get some invites, or

2) Idle in some IRC channel for anywhere from a few days to a few months, and then pass some quiz/interview to make sure you know the basics of torrent etiquette and such
