dimensi0nal··on Does Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS Block Archive.is? (2019)
archive.is doesn't compete with cloudflare, but they (or other websites) might want to spend money on improving their performance. cloudflare's dns resolver being popular makes one non-cloudflare option for improving website performance less appealing.
dimensi0nal··on Does Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS Block Archive.is? (2019)
amazing how cloudflare has framed this anticompetitve move as a privacy thing.

it doesn't matter if your dns resolver leaks part of your ip address to archive.is's dns servers when you're about to connect to archive.is from your ip address anyway. the only thing dropping the edns client subnet does is prevent services you use from giving you a server that's closer to you when you do the dns lookup. this performance issue, of course, does not affect sites using cloudflare.

dimensi0nal··on Netflix is now doing per-shot encoding for UHD content
Right now stripping Netflix's 4K DRM is possible but it requires buying a new Nvidia Shield TV for every release you do. If you could strip the DRM without buying expensive hardware every time people might be slightly quicker to release the entire 4K Netflix catalog.

dimensi0nal··on NZ considering $100M contact tracing ‘CovidCard’
"The only central register of card IDs would be held by the Government and isolated from other Government databases, so it could not be used for anything other than Covid-19 contact tracing."

What does "could not" mean, anyway?

dimensi0nal··on Who’s Behind the ‘Web Listings’ Mail Scam?
The previous occupant of my apartment had a .com with real WHOIS information. I got a scam invoice for a renewal at multiple times the actual cost.
