bepvte··on Patreon lays off 13% of workforce
I love that the eDNS stripping Quad9 service isn't blocked. Presumably because the owner of the service hasn't realized they strip eDNS.
bepvte··on The Decline of Usability
This behaviour has been removed in the next gnome release

bepvte··on Zappy – Screen capture tool
Screenshot functionality is built into gnome:

PrintScr: Whole screen to png in pictures folder Shift+PrintScr: Drag box over area to screenshot Alt+PrintScr: Screenshot the window, with a transparent box shadow around it Adding ctrl to any of those puts it on clipboard instead of pictures folder

Ctrl Shift Alt R records a 30 second webm of the desktop

You should reread that article
bepvte··on Intel x86 Root of Trust: Loss of Trust
Thats not TPM.
bepvte··on On Infantilization in Digital Environments (2015)
This is a good article, but I want to warn the author that the owner of the .tk gtld takes away its "free" domains and redirects them to advertisers when it feels doing so would be profitable.

bepvte··on Cursed Adapters
No, but there are several "thread unroller" sites to make reading these things easier.
bepvte··on The ReiserFS Filesystem (2000)
This is an unfair expectation. Glimpse has taken off in my school however.
bepvte··on Mozilla’s DNS over HTTPs
This argument can be applied to the encouraging the rollout of HSTS and HTTPS by firefox and google, which cant be disabled very easily by administrators.
bepvte··on Mozilla’s DNS over HTTPs
For point 1, Windows 10 plans to implement this.
bepvte··on Mozilla’s DNS over HTTPs
I've noticed some problems with eSNI so far unfortunately. Some domains like discordapp.com have some access points with eSNI enabled and some without, so when clients access the ones without eSNI, they believe that they are under attack. I cannot wait for it to be finished and implemented though, it would be a huge benefit for the privacy of millions.
bepvte··on Mozilla’s DNS over HTTPs
Yes, if you press the network and proxy settings in the preferences page, you will see a DNS over HTTPS setting. You can also use this to set your own resolver in case you dont trust cloudflare.
bepvte··on Mozilla’s DNS over HTTPs
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/canary-domain-use-appli... You can use this if you run a DNS server
bepvte··on Mozilla’s DNS over HTTPs
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/canary-domain-use-appli..., also if you can block it this easily so can the government. The difference with a canary domain is that mozilla can disable it if its misused.
bepvte··on Mozilla’s DNS over HTTPs
DNS over TLS and DNSCrypt both depend on servers... exactly as centralized as DoH. They are just different wire protocols that in the end do the exact same thing with a centralized DNS server.
bepvte··on Mozilla’s DNS over HTTPs
DNS over TLS is just DoH but with an easily blocked separate port
bepvte··on Mozilla’s DNS over HTTPs
AFAIK the ESR (business release) does not have this on by default
bepvte··on Want to call C from Python? Use D
You might be interested in GraalVM, which can do this between certain languages implemented on top of it.
bepvte··on How to grip a pen?
As someone with serious writing issues, I can recommend the "penagain" for being really excellent to use
bepvte··on Analyzing the attacks on my website
Using ipsets (hash table type thing) is much more efficient then iptables rules, especially if you use entire ip blocks
bepvte··on Critical Bluetooth vulnerability in Android
It says "Bluetooth scanning — Let apps use Bluetooth for more accurate location detection, even when Bluetooth is off." I doubt it makes the device discoverable though.
bepvte··on Firefox Preview adds support for recommended extensions, including uBlock Origin
Theres no recommendation engine, its all manual. I plan on submitting my silly little 9 line extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/t-co-sanitize...) to the recommendation request email at some point.
bepvte··on Tesla's self driving algorithm's overlay [video]
This is a problem even in production autopilot in Teslas. When stopped at a stop light, you can see cars "dancing" and rotating randomly in a jittery fashion. Today during an auto lane change, the system blinked a truck from two lanes across in and out of my target lane, causing the car to cancel going into an empty lane after quarter ways entering it, twice.
bepvte··on Show HN: Regex Cheatsheet
I love regex101. It uses webassembly for some of its engines
bepvte··on Better-initramfs: initramfs supporting SSH, lvm, luks, raid, uswsusp and more
For one, the kernel cant ask for the password of the hard drive without userspace software. LUKS header is actually all parsed in userspace and the device mapper is setup based on it.
bepvte··on The new Microsoft Edge is out of preview
Chrome android features lots of tabloid ad crap in its home page.
bepvte··on Patch Critical Cryptographic Vulnerability in Microsoft Windows [pdf]
Its patched because of the risk it poses to the government and from other state actors
