Dahoon··on On Apple's Piss-Poor Documentation
Sure there are. I get one every day from my alarm clock 5 minutes before it starts yelling at me.
Dahoon··on Micro 3.0 is a platform for cloud native development
I see nothing wrong with OwnCloud doing business as they do. At least they aren't trying actively to kill off their competitors, like Netgate/Pfsense does and yet HNers seem to like them.
Dahoon··on Zoom lied to users about end-to-end encryption for years, FTC says
I don't see how democracy has anything to do with wanting to secure video calls or not but anyways, how is this worse than trusting anything from the US? Not trying to add whataboutism, but curious if you have the same look on security when made by companies that share data with someone that realistically could come after you for anything done in those calls. PRC clearly can't unless you live in PRC while the FBI and CIA operate in most of the world, more often than not hand in hand with local police or agencies.

All network traffic in the US should be seen as the opposite of innocent untill proven guilty: Unless you can prove otherwise, everything we know of surveillance tells us that of course everything and everyone was spied upon. I can't think of any reason the NSA and/or CIA should not have spied when they do so on everything else they can get their hands on.

No need as I don't disagree.

Not being active on Facebook is A Good Reason for Facebook.

Sure but it will likely be banned too if not active and you also won't have access to your old games.

Innocence requires proof?
Dahoon··on Apple blocks game streaming services unless individual games are approved
There's no extra hop? Do you carry the pihole around with you?

Do you have a firewall running on your phone to block or redirect DNS requests? Since hardcoding and bypassing the one in network settings is extremely easy and done by default by even some Google apps. DNS leaking VPN is trivial.

What logs are you talking about? Blokada can use the same upstream DNS as your pihole so the logs are exactly the same if any exists.

Without a firewall and a VPN (both on the phone) you are not secure. With a VPN and a custom DNS service with blocklists you have an identical setup as one who uses Blokada, but without an external service.

>Just today I read that Android doesn’t let you take a screenshot of your own phone.

Not many seemed to care to click the link in that thread. If one did one would know that it was to a bug report and a fix was even posted in the same link. Screenshots work just fine.

Dahoon··on EU Draft Council Declaration Against Encryption [pdf]
We already have a right for privacy in the EU. That's why the EU court has declared mass logging of meta data by ISPs and mobileproviders illegal.
Dahoon··on Taking screenshots isn't allowed by the app after upgrading to Android 11
You clearly didn't even click the link. It's a bug report....

It works just fine in standard mode.

I'm sure you are aware that Chrome doesn't host the internet and didn't think this through.

Are you adding info on what would be even worse? Because this is even worse on iPhone.
Dahoon··on Transmit Radio Signals via Ethernet
If your Ethernet emissions can be picked up by pilots or air traffic control, your are doing something wrong on purpose.
Dahoon··on The foul-smelling fuel that could power big ships
Not if the 2% is 90% of transportation emissions (not saying it is, just that the number alone says nothing).
Dahoon··on Apple blocks game streaming services unless individual games are approved
Why would you tunnel your DNS requests when you can just switch DNS on the phone to a filtering one and also use blocklists, IE. with Blokada? Unless you route everything, not only default DNS, through the VPN, any app can just hardcode its own DNS ip and if you route everything through the VPN Blokada will do exactly the same but without an extra hop. Sounds terribly complicated for something that gives less security and privacy. Mind you that is coming from someone who runs 3 Piholes on a homelab.
Dahoon··on Mars is not a legal vacuum
And what have we learned? That capitalism works untill it destroy everything? Communist Mars?
Dahoon··on Mars is not a legal vacuum
Sanctions. The US is doing it illegally today and no one does anything about it. Against a space supplier it would be easy.
Dahoon··on Ask HN: What technologies would you use to “solve” voter fraud?
Then America needs to stop living in 1800 and register everyone at birth. Then everyone can show id and vote. Like in all modern democracies.
Dahoon··on HP Instant Ink is “ink as a service”
I'm not pro communism but reading stuff like this still irks me. You are allowed to own things under communism, like your house, just as under capitalism. What you cannot is own half a city and rent the houses out. Saying you cannot own anything under communism has become the norm just like saying schizophrenic when one means multiple personalities, which is not and never have been part of schizophrenia no matter how many times people repeat it.

>You can change that on the settings.

Always a valid reply in Linux discussions.

Dahoon··on AMD Zen 3 Ryzen Deep Dive Review
>the generation is in the product name and the category is easy to understand (i3/i5/i7)

Not really. Look at core count at the old I7 vs. the new. If anything Intels naming is even worse.

>"...not only performance per watt and performance per dollar leaders, but absolute performance leadership in every segment. We’ve gone into the new microarchitecture and tested the new processors. AMD is the new king, and we have the data to show it."
Dahoon··on About the security content of iOS 12.4.9
>after just three years

The 5S was sold from Apple stores in India in mid 2017. So that's 3 years of updates from end-of-sale and this is an OS update for a 2 year old OS. So two years of support. Less than the Pixel.

Dahoon··on About the security content of iOS 12.4.9
Sure but that doesn't change how long they supported after end of sale which wasn't in 2013 but at least until 2017. So ~3 years of software updates from end of sale. Still OK but not anything special.

Someone please stop these spammy people that post once and then change account to a brand new one, over and over again.
