carlosfvp··on Purelymail – cheap, no-nonsense email
Pretty close! They accept the mail returning a "250 OK"ish code, but they delay it for days (or even months) not respecting the SMTP protocol. I actually recevied the emails on Outlook after many many days I have sent them :/

Gmail seems good, I never had issues with Gmail.

carlosfvp··on “This destroys the RSA cryptosystem”
I did not found the sentence "This destroyes the RSA cryptosystem" in the real PDF https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/232.pdf Is this fake news?
carlosfvp··on Study of the effect of Vitamin D, Magnesium and Vitamin B12 on Covid-19 patients
How did the doctor know her vitamin levels were low? I once asked a doctor if the vitamins in our body can be measured, and he said it can't be done, is not something you can measure.
carlosfvp··on MEGA source code
At least someone can review the code, but is this enough to trust them? I am talking about the people who really worries about their files on cloud storage services.
carlosfvp··on Tell HN: MacOS turns off the fans when Siri is listening
Good point, otherwise the hardware might damage with constant usage of Siri, or is this the actual plan of Apple?
carlosfvp··on Ask HN: How do you handle DDoS attacks?
There are many services for HTTP protection, but when you have a custom protocol for a RT service like a game, you are kind of screwed. It's even worst if your game is UDP based.

I used to get attacked huge a load of corrupt UDP packets for a few seconds and that used to hang the main server, wich in 1 or 2 minutes disconnected all my players.

Solution: separate your UDP services from your TCP services in separate applications and servers, also use different type of protection services for each.

The attack still hanged the UDP services, so I started thinking about making a plugin for snort to analyse the traffic and only allow legit protocol packets. I haven't done any of this last idea because the attackers stopped since they noticed that no one was being disconnected.

BTW, for TCP and HTTP I just used any tiny service that protects me from SYN Flood, like Voxility resellers.

carlosfvp··on “Node.js is one of the worst things to happen to the software industry” (2012)
Have you read the whole page? Just the subdomain is "HARMFUL". The page is a compilation of good and BS critics for any language.
