Right? I feel like rainbow tables for NTLM have been around for decades, though at-cost. This seems incredibly low effort on Google's part.

Is there a reason you chose to roll your own software instead of just using Anki? Custom algorithm you think is better than FSRS? UI preferences?

"Employee surveillance" sounds a lot more nefarious than the reality of these systems for most organizations.

Your network admin has had access to the proxy, and by extension, all your browsing history since forever. Now, your UEBA does that, but mainly just sits there and flags things like a user normally hitting a single host to suddenly hitting 300 hosts on the network, or a user having an average data upload of 500MB/week to 200GB in a single session.

Very few people care if you're using the corporate network to listen to YouTube Music (or even looking for other jobs), most just want to be notified of data exfiltration, compromised accounts, or malicious network activity.

Probably for usage with [the now sold off] HP Records Manager.

I work in a heavily regulated industry, and 'yes' is the answer for us, even going as far as mobile-first IM platforms. There's a very small number of vendors who pull in lots of money making UI hooks for things like WeChat and WhatsApp just so we can store the messages for the people in Risk and Compliance.

I stopped buying anything Samsung for essentially the same reason. I was overseas and my S7 switched off and wouldn't turn back on. I walked into the flagship store and was immediately turned away because I didn't purchase it in that country.

This is honestly something that would be interesting to own. It's not $950 interesting, but interesting nonetheless, just for a conversation piece about an elaborate forgery.

I've always wanted to either create or purchase intricate set props like the journal from Supernatural [0]. Fantastically fake, but just interesting to have.

DDR5 comes with on-die ECC. My understanding is this only checks errors occuring within the RAM itself, not errors that occur during transmission to and from RAM.

My question is, how common are transmission errors over errors happening within RAM?

I've been a happy MailInABox user for many years, but this looks great.

Essentially you hook up all your log sources to a User and Entity Behaviour Analytics (UEBA) platform, it comes up with a model of "normal" behaviour, and flags users for investigation when they start acting outside of those norms (or things you want to explicitly flag on).

No data egress for 6 months, then 20GBs of outbound traffic? Someone's getting notified to take a look and see what that was and where you sent it. You only authenticate against one host on the network, and suddenly you're hitting thousands of hosts? Someone's getting notified to investigate, &c.

Any narration for the stories? That's the killer feature of Satori Reader for me. I'm fairly sure they hire voice actors, but from what I understand, Japanese text-to-speech is fairly robust.

Tangentially related, I had GPT-4 plan the sightseeing on my latest holiday.

It both picked out the interesting places of note, and then I asked it to plan them in such a way that made sense walking-wise (so I wasn't backtracking) and it did so without a hiccup.

Good to know, thank you!

Blood test results? I couldn't find anywhere to input the data manually. I track everything else there, like blood pressure, but serum iron, ferritin? Transferrin? Albumin? Etc. Nothing. Am I blind?

After noticing Apple Health doesn't let you track this data at all (very strange decision on their part) I contemplated building an app... But Excel is easier and serves the same function. Conditional highlighting, charts, trends, it's all there.

I'm stuck somewhere between Anki hell and Graded Readers (~Level 1). Do I just continue working my way up the Graded Readers list, or is there something more engaging for adults that's a good stepping stone from Anki to being able to consume written content?

The scrolling behavior on this page is horrendous.

Interestingly, RTCPeerConnection and RTCDataChannel come up as "True", but the IP address fields come up as "n/a".

IKWYD is impressive. Not the results. I'm behind CGNAT and it's claiming my IP is static when it's dynamic so I know none of these files, but the fact that it was able to get my local IP at all when I'm behind both a corporate VPN and being routed through a CASB (with SSL interception enabled and working) is impressive. I wonder how it's done that. Maybe something DNS-based?

First time I've seen my local IP in one of these, genuinely impressed.

Reading through it quickly, it looks like this is for files that are available to read, but write-protected? Not read-protected documents like a password protected Excel workbook?

Chess.com has a measurement for how accurate a player plays compared to top engine moves called Computer Aggregated Precision Score (or "CAPS"), and top humans do play incredibly accurately. Magnus has CAPS of 98.36 for example.

Post the stuff you're able to talk about publicly, I'm interested!

This was a fun read and feels like it deserves a longform blog post.

I miss how every hobby had a forum running on phpBB, SimpleMachines, Invision, etc.

HN is great, but it's very point in time. If I find an interesting topic posted over a day ago, it's never getting new replies. It's a snapshot of the thoughts on that topic for that single day, nothing more.

Surprised nobody has mentioned donjon, well worth checking out if you haven't seen it before.

Does anyone know if this will support encryption at rest?

I tunnel everything through an overseas server for the same reason, but it's waived away in the blog as "not gaining anything" and "shifting the trust from one ISP to another" - Well, yes. That's the point.

I'm in the same boat. My main objection to uBO is the cryptic UI. I have no idea what the two columns to the right of a domain are as there's no column headings, or the two nested buttons in each column, one of which is grey (where I'd assume there'd be green to counter the red?), or the "+"/"++" that sometimes appear over said buttons... Or the green bars that creep in from the far left over the domain names, at staggering lengths.

The uMatrix UI on the other hand was incredibly intuitive, and more granular. Then again, maybe that comes down to me not understanding what the hell is going on with uBO's UI.

Is there an alternative to ufile?

I've tried three different browsers and none can get the download to work. It's possible I'm blocking some tracking domain at the router-level that's integral to the download functioning.

Edit: Turns out I was blocking Google's captcha.

That was an incredibly interesting watch, I had no idea this was a thing.

Is there something special about where they're digging for it to be plagued with such a large amount of rats? It looks like it would take weeks to cover all of their land with this digging + dog method.
