It's not just router firmware. Its firmware for ANYTHING that has radios.

This code is meant for censorship, not DMCA. Replacing the content with "sorry, this thing broke copyright laws" is how you deal with DMCA, not stopping people from accessing whole sites.

> Do you think you'd have found out and been able to do anything about it if you hadn't gotten that code?

Yes because I really wanted to see that thing. If I get 404 on something I want to see I will try through Tor and I will try with at least a few circuits. And if Tor gets through I then usually test with other networks just as I did with this.

I know that many people probably don't do that and you have a valid point with the masking but a better solution would be stopping censorship, not a new errorcode

I actually saw the status code 451 in the wild.

First time I saw it was in December and after that in January, both on the same site. The site that was blocked was archive.is.

This block was targeted at Finland and none of the different Internet connections I tried could get to the site, I tried my home connection, cellular and connecting from my school network. It's a shame that anyone even thought of censoring such an useful tool for history and other legitimate uses. I wrote a thing about it to a Finnish newspaper and a few weeks after that the block was gone. I suspect that the newspaper conatcted archive.is and it was removed so they don't get bad publicity.

It was kind of ironical that I had to subvert the archive.is censorship to read an archived version of a thread discussing web censorship in Sweden.

I think this error code is a bad idea as it legitimizes censorship.

It doesn't even seem like "gigantic public debate" among the technological groups. There is very minimal amount of actual debating happening.

Most "technologists" who talk about this don't really understand the tech side of this thing.

> hipsters talking about simple and insignificant technologies

Are you telling me that a new CSS framework that will save you two lines in your CSS files is insignificant? Or a new <insert the current language that is hip>-style language in <insert a number between 1 and 100> lines of JS!

Surely these are the greatest inventions of our time.

> HN: high signal to noise ratio

The signal on HN has started to decline tho. Things used to be better. It's kind of inevitable for online communities tho.

>Unless you think Reddit is causing severe brain damage

It probably does.

Sure it happens elsewhere as well. But Reddit is really amplifying it.

I think that Reddit is making this a lot worse, at least for the people using it. Pretty much everyone there is constantly trying to make jokes in order to get a few upvotes and as a result even the most serious subreddits have people who feel the need to crack jokes. It is really fucking annoying.

It doesn't really have much to do with how brain works. Graphical way of arranging stuff is just something you are accustomed to. I find graphical ways of organizing information harder to use and much prefer hierarchical structures.

Not only does the installation with npm take at least 20 minutes but you install anywhere between 250 and 400 dependencies for those 37 lines of CSS.

The demo is broken for me.

Why would anyone even want anything like it?

E: Nice to see again how childish HN is, downvoting when someone points out that the thing is broken and asks a serious question. This is why I originally left this place.

You can think of it as competition. Other people can think of it as something that they can make people who are already familiar with systems that use the Linux kernel.

Why not just use regular TinyCore? Or any other distribution?

LXC containers aren't app containers. It is intended to be used with regular installs, not with single applications.

A better way to NSA proof your mail would be just using Freenet's mail or something else like that.

This is not really useful for anyone.
