chgs··on Tell HN: 1.1.1.1 appears to be down
HN loves cloudflare. The majority here aren’t of the ethos of the distributed internet of days of old, it’s the “how can I monetise this hustle” ethos. Sad really.

I have 6 upstream, but that’s for each of two dns serves in home (one on my pi, one on the jellyfin), so I guess that’s 12 upstream together.
chgs··on Data brokers are selling flight information to CBP and ICE
People voluntarily used loyalty cards well before then.
chgs··on Drones Are Key to Winning Wars Now. The U.S. Makes Hardly Any
How many years did it take to take out bin laden?
chgs··on Drones Are Key to Winning Wars Now. The U.S. Makes Hardly Any
China killing millions of Americans as they cook in their batteries is different to a nuclear bomb or a biological weapon?

Hell it’s more attributable.

You think that wouldn’t escalate to nuclear exchange in days?

They key would be hashed with the user’s details (ip address, value in a session cookie etc) so someone else can’t reuse it. Hell there are things like elliptic curves and DH which still seem magic to me.

Now sure if the identity provider and the site work together they could negate the anonymity, but given that for the identity provider anonymisation would be the key selling feature they wouldn’t want to risk that. Mullvad I’m sure would be trustworthy enough.

chgs··on Bypassing Google's big anti-adblock update
bbc news is full of tracking despite not showing adverts.
chgs··on Bypassing Google's big anti-adblock update
Almost all content I consume is not funded by adverts, it’s funded by passion or subscription or donation.

Adverts have no positive effects for anyone other than the advertising firm. They cost the viewer more than the provide the advertiser

chgs··on Proposed NOAA Budget Kills Program Designed to Prevent Satellite Collisions
I have no doubt China would offer a far better location somewhere like Shanghai. The intelligence benefits of so many foreign diplomats and spies walking your street, drinking in your bars, paying your hookers, is incalculable.

Doesn’t really matter surely, you only need to trust the identity provider not to leak your identity and your porn provider not to have a key that your identity provider can link to.

When it comes to nudity and sex America has always been puritanical.

Blood and guns, sure. Freedumb

If the Supreme Court agrees they are constitutional then they clearly are constitutional, unless you think the constitution doesn’t apply

Site generates random key

Key and verification passed to verifier

Verified list is published

Site pulls list and checks its number has been verified

Site doesn’t know who it is, and verifier doesn’t know which site was verified against

We can’t do it because our priority as an industry is to get data to monetise. Anonymity is a bug, not a feature.

> but that’s way beyond the technical capability of probably 95% of people.

It really isn’t, and even if it were an ISP could offer it. Indeed I believe most ISPs do (I chose one which is unfiltered, I do my own filtering at a router and dns level, the biggest threat is DoH)

Us techbros like it when Bezos and Zuck and Musk have all the information, because you can “vote with your dollar” and avoid them.
chgs··on Preliminary report into Air India crash released
If the time was :11 and :12 there’s between 0.01 and 2 seconds between. If they were both at :11 then it’s between 0.01 and 1 second.
chgs··on Grok: Searching X for "From:Elonmusk (Israel or Palestine or Hamas or Gaza)"
How is that related to the method of selecting the government of Israel?
chgs··on Linda Yaccarino is leaving X
It’s Facebook that causes genocide, not Twitter. Funny how the left gives sick a far easier pass.
chgs··on Linda Yaccarino is leaving X
“Long tweets” could be anything from changing a config variable to rewriting massive tomes of code.

Unless you have knowledge of x’s internal code?

chgs··on Bulgaria to join euro area on 1 January 2026
It’s the 21st century, I pay for everything by card, currency barriers are way below Schengen and language barriers
chgs··on I extracted the safety filters from Apple Intelligence models
There were two.

People think a trillion dollar brainwashing industry is absolutely fine because of “democracy”, completely ignoring that all you have to do is use a century of experience convincing people to act against their own interests can deliver whatever you want.

Often the same people who think America is fine and safe are the ones who whine about the “main stream media” and “sheeple”.

eMacs certainly is broken on my phone. Vim is fine though.
chgs··on Serving 200M requests per day with a CGI-bin
Presumably there’s a distro maintained python3-cgi package to install then which handles the need
chgs··on Serving 200M requests per day with a CGI-bin
I have cgi scripts which take dozens of seconds to run. Load time isn’t a problem for many uses.
chgs··on Serving 200M requests per day with a CGI-bin
I used bash cgi scripts all the time. Haven’t used a python cgi module but the main benefit of perl’s cgi module (also removed) is the query parameter parsing.
chgs··on Serving 200M requests per day with a CGI-bin
I host 1200 vhosts off apache as an authenticating proxy, and run Al sorts of random scripts.

This is all internal use though, I don’t need to scale to hundreds of concurrent users let alone thousands. Apache and cgi bin is fine.

chgs··on Heathrow substation fire 'caused by fault first identified seven years ago'
Compare the amount of coverage the fire got, and the nonsense certain politicians were spreading about how it was the fault of solar power, with the actual causes (cost cutting)
