amaccuish··on Wireless-to-Ethernet island for RPi cluster: IPv6, NDP proxy, mDNS reflector
Fantastic, love my FritzBox, I'll look into this. Stand happily corrected!
amaccuish··on Wireless-to-Ethernet island for RPi cluster: IPv6, NDP proxy, mDNS reflector
Thank you for your expertise! Out of interest, why is it a hack? Does it break things elsewhere? Why is it better to do it at the IP level?
amaccuish··on Wireless-to-Ethernet island for RPi cluster: IPv6, NDP proxy, mDNS reflector
How did my AirPort Express or do my Sonos do it? Just rewrite the MAC Address? (is that then not technically bridging from terminology pov?)
amaccuish··on Wireless-to-Ethernet island for RPi cluster: IPv6, NDP proxy, mDNS reflector
Upvoting as good idea, but most routers I know, evening running custom firmware, don't support delegating a wan prefix on request from lan side.
amaccuish··on Wireless-to-Ethernet island for RPi cluster: IPv6, NDP proxy, mDNS reflector
Out of interest, why didn't you just bridge the two interfaces? Did you want everything on a separate subnet? (maybe I missed that but but you mentioned before how everything used to be directly plugged in anyway)
amaccuish··on The Origins of the Wirecard Scandal
Oops, I just moved here and can't see me leaving. One person's rubbish is another person's treasure I guess :)
amaccuish··on The Tamagotchi Cemetery
Still looking for old Tamagotchi "Connection"s, with the infrared connectivity. Those were fantastic.
amaccuish··on Ubuntu 21.04
Fantastic! This brings Ubuntu in front of macOS.

Does anyone know why I can find the admx and get going or is it reading the standard windows policies? Can't seem to find any articles/documentation.

amaccuish··on Daily Mail owner sues Google over search results
No, because when you're so deep, you can't be saved. I'm sorry. I wish you all the best.
amaccuish··on Apple Podcasts Subscriptions
I get some podcasts cost, and that's fine, but I just feel the big tech companies are in a rush to charge people for everything and make a subscription out of everything good in our lives.
amaccuish··on Huawei ‘may have eavesdropped on Dutch mobile network’s calls’
> It's more like a locksmith that comes into your house when you didn't call this time. And installed the first time they came, a device to check everyone that comes in ( since they discovered an Chinese application that listens to phone calls)

It's more like a locksmith coming into your home because you asked him to manage the locks and ensure they were in working condition... and surprise he keeps them in working condition.

In other news, USA asks Cisco to build routers for NSA network and accuses NSA of having too much access, which they could have used.

amaccuish··on Huawei ‘may have eavesdropped on Dutch mobile network’s calls’
Two things wrong.

> They had unauthorized access

No it doesn't

>which means they used it

Does it?

As per HN regs, "The article mentions that."

amaccuish··on Huawei ‘may have eavesdropped on Dutch mobile network’s calls’
Then why do they spin it as if Huawei abused their access? Surely they could just make their opposition known without all the wink wink going on.
amaccuish··on The Story of the SolarWinds Hack
The reply from ipsin was much more helpful. This list is mostly full of articles in general about the Solarwinds attack and others including "Supernova malware clues link Chinese threat group Spiral to SolarWinds server hacks (ZDNet)".
amaccuish··on The Story of the SolarWinds Hack
> But as CrowdStrike's decryption program chewed its way through the zeroes and ones, Meyers' heart sank. The crime scene was a bust. It had been wiped down

That's a lot of words to say, we don't know who did it. I had a quick look but couldn't find anything, why are the fingers being pointed at Russia?

amaccuish··on 5G: The outsourced elephant in the room
> if you port your number from Operator A to Operator B, your number prefix still sits in A's range, and calls are signalled to Operator A. They can then tell you to try Operator B. B may then need to tell you the user is roaming and how to reach them. But yes, current firewlls leave a lot to be desired!

Not in all networks as far as I'm aware. UK is an annoying example of not having a central database of ported numbers (with ACQ), where a redirect is setup in the old network. I once ported my number in the UK and had huge issues receiving international calls or 2FA codes, it took me ages to work out and only got it sorted by leaving the number entirely and getting a new one.

Otherwise, like here in Germany, it's done with a proper database and the call never passes through the old network.

amaccuish··on 5G: The outsourced elephant in the room
> The more you will see the total lack of modern cryptography, PKIs..

Funny you say that as x509 was an ITU standard. But yes, PSTN is terribly broken, with mobile bolted on.

amaccuish··on RMS addresses the free software community
I'm commenting on an article that made it to the front page and is related to an organisation I deeply care about. Otherwise I wouldn't give RMS the time of day ;)
amaccuish··on RMS addresses the free software community
> He wants to have a discussion about what makes sex between people of varying ages wrong

Wtf does that have to do with free software?

And why does he keep doing this over and over again? There's no smoke without fire

amaccuish··on SQLite is not a toy database
It's a shame Nextcloud works terribly with SQLite
amaccuish··on Firefox 87 trims HTTP Referrers by default to protect user privacy
Loads of cashback systems use it. You get directed to Lieferando or whatever and the "click" is registered using the referrer.
amaccuish··on In 2020, two thirds of Google searches ended without a click
And half the time I click the wrong thing because the related pages thing slides into view just as I click. That javascript can burn in hell
amaccuish··on Bitwarden_rs: Unofficial Bitwarden compatible server written in Rust
probably to save the SD card
amaccuish··on My bank sent me 64 copies of the same debit card
Same here in Germany. A normal credit card is a charge card, so billed every 30 days in full from the giro account. Credit cards that are rolling are rarer but slowly breaking their way through.
amaccuish··on The new Google Pay repeats all the same mistakes of Google Allo
> Contactless debit cards can be skimmed without being authd too;

nitpicking, but contactless cards as far as I am aware cannot be "skimmed" (a process of copying the information from a magnetic stripe and creating a cloned card). If the payment terminal can handle a chip, it will refuse to downgrade the security. In addition, countries are marked as chip only, which means it's almost impossible to get a bank to authorise a transaction for a card that should have a chip in a country where most readers are chip-capable. And if the card was suddenly used in a non-chip region, any good bank would block it.

All you can do with contactless is relay the signal over the internet, but that introduces delay and can sometimes be detected by the reader.

amaccuish··on Gab has been hacked and 70GB of data leaked
You're distracting from the fact that you, probably intentionally since the full comment is either not mentioned on most websites, or in full on others, removed part of a quote. Why you did this, I cannot say for certain, but I feel like, with your repitition of "Clearly he is a stable and happy person with no insecurities." that you have a have a particular viewpoint, and after seeing your other comments, transphobic, ugly and a troll.

There are people on this forum that will disagree with me on transgenderism, but comments like yours will not allow us to have a fruitful and meaningful conversation.

amaccuish··on Gab has been hacked and 70GB of data leaked
Unfortunately this is one of those comments that tries to dress up a political score point as innocent-looking and "factual" based on "experience".
amaccuish··on Are Xiaomi browsers spyware? Yes, they are (2020)
> Consider this - If a "fascist" is democratically elected, what wins: anti-fascism (presumably from the perspective of an opposing 3rd party, as Le Pen doesn't describe herself as a fascist); or democracy?

This actually happened in recent history. Just because Hitler (and yes I must unfortunately rely on such a reference, and no, Le Pen is not Hitler, but it provides a good example of far-right vs democracy) was elected doesn't mean the entire world should roll over.

amaccuish··on Are Xiaomi browsers spyware? Yes, they are (2020)
> Consider Document Number 9[1], and the fact that the CCP considers your existing Irish political system and liberal ideology as a threat and one which it is actively working to undermine.

You have quite literally also just described the US.

"China and Communism are a threat which we should seek to undermine". It works both ways.

amaccuish··on Fedora and Fallback DNS Servers
But that looks like the general direction:

"One could even go further: the privacy level using those public DNS servers might actually be higher than using the DHCP-provided ones in many cases"

(I'm a massive systemd fan, but ignoring DHCP provided DNS servers is IMHO a bold move)
