x0xon Elon Musk owns Twitter: The story so far

This is all good, but unlss @realDonaldTrump unblocked I will never use Twitter again. I don't care if you agree or disagree with what was said. But if even a pressident of united states can be banned, best not use such platforms. Period!

x0xon Firefox can now stop Instagram and Facebook from tracking you online

You can also try "Inox Browser"[1] based on Chromium but with security/privacy patches. With extensions like "uBlock0 (Origin)"[2], "uMatrix"[3].

Optionally, unrelated to security you can try "Dark Reader" extension, which makes all sites darker ^_^ Especially useful with darker themes.

x0xon WHOIS blackout period likely starting in May

I agree WHOIS is completely useless! Anyone can fake this info anyway and anyone using there real info can be SWATTED (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatting)

x0xon ReactOS releases 0.4.8 with experimental Vista/7/10 software compatibility

I've been windows power user for many years before I switched to Linux. I can say that WinXP was one of the best windows and Win7 was okay and usable. Win8 and Win10 complete shit. Everyone I know had issues with it and had hard times using it. Asking if it was possible to use at least Win7 again. Windows completely screwed up there UI thinking it would be easier for people to use and in process completely killing windows. Not to mantion Win8/10 security/privacy horror storries. The last usable windows was Win7. This is why I see many people switching to Mac OS X or Linux.

x0xon Patch runs ed, and ed can run anything

It won't help you, here is one example; http://www.hackingarticles.in/set-bypass-outbound-rule-windo...

x0xon Patch runs ed, and ed can run anything

@zokier "Today everything is so locked down"

I highly dought that. Most users use Windows and don't even have Anti-Virus/Firewall installed on there computers. Networking hardware is set to defualts. I would argue more computers and servers are unprotected because we have more computers and users online.

x0xon Google bug bounty for security exploit that influences search results

https://www.google.com/about/appsecurity/research/

But they don't list any bounty rewards there. Tom should be on this list too, this could land him a nice job.

x0xon Google bug bounty for security exploit that influences search results

I'm not suprised at all that Google rewarded this low. This is why they are always be more blackhat SEO then reporters. Because companies are too cheap to realize how valuable this discoveries are. They are getting too greedy. I agree 100% that this should of been at least $1,000,000 if not much more. If this contenues google could be the next Facebook ^_^ Lets use DuckDuckGo instead everyone ;-)

x0xon Google bug bounty for security exploit that influences search results

@TomAnthony, This is f*up, google should of given you at least $1,337,000 bounty for this. This is one of the most profitable exploits I've seen discovered by anyone. Plus you've done the right thing and reported it. Good job on this discovery!

"I have a couple of other ideas for search related attacks, but am not sure I'm going to explore them any longer."

You're valuing yourself way too low. You've done a good job with this and should receive more bounty for it. Also see if you can earn more for doing research else where; https://www.bugcrowd.com/bug-bounty-list/ Also maybe use something like; https://www.hackerone.com/

x0xon Ask HN: What are the best HN related websites?

Keep the coming folks. Thank you!

x0xon It's time to head back to RSS?

Comparison of feed aggregators on Wikipedia

x0xon Google Adds 'Kodi' to Autocomplete Piracy Filter

Unless Google removes Wikipeda too, it really doesn't matter what they remove.

Example; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodi_(software)

All links there =) Anytime official site changes, this pages updated.

Wikipedia is your Search Engine, when Google fails.

x0xon You will be surprised to see how much Google tracks about you

Stop using sites that collect and/or sell your data. Good email replacement is TutaNota or ProtonMail. Good search engine replacement is DuckDuckGo.

Can you guys ban "cconroy" instead ? Cuz he/she "just an ape from Earth" according to profile :-) Jokes aside, no domains should be banned. Because there is still something called freedom of speech friend ^_^ You don't have to watch commentary, you can watch original version by NBC for example at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=855Am6ovK7s Between, this is just an embeded video from YouTube on TVnfo. The original streams are on http://www.infowars.com/watch-alex-jones-show/
