awaythrow999··on Swedish data brokers claim journalists' legal protection to evade EU law
I recently learned address is public information in Sweden so provided you have the name then getting access to tax info would be trivial?

Pretty sure ETSI demands it for trusted service providers https://portal.etsi.org/TB-SiteMap/ESI/Trust-Service-Provide...
awaythrow999··on A recent abrupt change in Internet SSH brute force attacks against us
Moving from 22 to a nonstandard port did miracles to avoid this.

Really think port knocking could help thwart this entire category of attacks too.

awaythrow999··on Satoshi – Sirius emails 2009-2011
For the same reason it created tor. For cover. And to move assets beyond enemy lines?

awaythrow999··on Faculty group calls on Yale to make teaching 'distinct from activism'
This has been popping up like mad the past 10 days on all my feeds. In a nut-shell:

"Right wing think tank argues against activism in academia ..."

awaythrow999··on Let me clear a huge misunderstanding
Other paywalled content at least can be opened with archive.md and friends. Usually people here kindly post a link for convenience to archive. With twotter that no longer works.

So this type of content means that in order to follow the discussion I must also be a twitter subscriber.

Maybe people could consider first creating an archive.org snapshot that is then linked instead. Would be the kind thing to do and help the rest of us.

awaythrow999··on Let me clear a huge misunderstanding
Impossible for me yes. Am getting prompted by a sign-up screen to join twitter.
awaythrow999··on Let me clear a huge misunderstanding
It's impossible to access this content (even more so now that nitter is dead). Should HN continue driving traffic to a site that is entirely inaccessible?

awaythrow999··on Magika: AI powered fast and efficient file type identification
Wonder how this would handle a polyglot[0][1], that is valid as a PDF document, a ZIP archive, and a Bash script that runs a Python webserver, which hosts Kaitai Struct’s WebIDE which, allowing you to view the file’s own annotated bytes.

Edit: just tested, and it does only identify the zip layer

awaythrow999··on FOSDEM 2024: my experience, some notes and tech tips
> The trash situation is something I've been meaning to write an essay on,

Did a quick search because I recall an old article by The Economist dating to between 2000-2005 already complaining of people in suites leaving their dogs to shit on the sidewalks without concern. I sadly can't find it but there is plenty of content that teils me things haven't changed.

awaythrow999··on Htmx is a great front-end library, but its x account is full of memes
Perhaps your question is rhetorical but we're talking about it here aren't we?
awaythrow999··on Htmx is a great front-end library, but its x account is full of memes
It seems to have gotten the marketing job done surprisingly well considering people on HN getting outraged. I'd have never heard of it if it wasn't for this submission.
awaythrow999··on Filmmaker Ken Burns calls Mark Zuckerberg an `enemy of the state' (2021)
The root cause IMHO is not an individuals ability to broadcast to their connections, but the ability to micro target an audience as a business model. And doing so without any regulation of where that money comes from. So yes it's the platform and the people who run it.
awaythrow999··on Filmmaker Ken Burns calls Mark Zuckerberg an `enemy of the state' (2021)
He isn't wrong. Zuck was more instrumental than Bannon and Stone in bending reality into a shape useful for today's post-truth mess. And him and his ilk did it on a global scale.

> Last month, Burns was interviewed on MSNBC, where he said that Zuckerberg allowed "misinformation" to spread on Facebook during the “most fraught time” in US history.

> In this same interview, he spoke about “Soviet style disinformation.”
