Come on, that's not true. There was a sectest made on dovecot a while back, and it came out to be a really well written piece of software, and everybody complimented the authors and had kind words for them. Same for ssh and a lot of other oss.
Get a tunnel from he[1] and access the home network through that.
But that's not a problem for me. It's a problem for my isp. And if he does not care, why should I?
I see NO reason to deploy ipv6 at the moment. I don't see it for home lans, I don't see it for my workplace, I don't see it for bigger enterprises.
But you can have a gazillion IPs with ipv6!! Yeah, so what?
Sorry for the negative post, but there are no comments on this story and I felt like I needed to say this.
100 hours is 12.5 days. That is not much to protect your users data.
No I can not. I can pay with money. User data is not money.
Do you want my opinion or what the gdpr says?
My opinion is that my data is not a commodity exchange. We (I) usually use money for that.
The gdpr says
"When assessing whether consent is freely given, utmost account shall be taken of whether, inter alia, the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is conditional on consent to the processing of personal data that is not necessary for the performance of that contract."
So they can politely ask me for my data to read the blog post, and I can politely refuse to give it to them. And if my data is not necessary for letting me read the blog post (it is not) then they have to let me read it anyway.
> If you don't like those terms, go read something else.
That is what I did. I left the site. But this is not what I am angry about. They are lying by saying that i MUST consent to their terms.
> If you refuse their terms, it seems obvious to me that they should be able to refuse to serve you. Maybe I'm missing something here, but this sounds like asking for a free lunch.
User data is not money. User data is user data. I am not asking for free lunch.
Of course they can charge a fee. They should.
> Either you share your data, so they can make money to operate the site, or you don't, but then the content is not free.
No. My data is not a commodity exchange. The GDPR makes that VERY clear. I can not pay with my data. Full stop. There is money for that.
No Medium, I must NOT agree to your privacy policy and your cookie policy, because to use and share my data you need my FREE consent. AND you can NOT deny me reading an article without giving consent, because then the consent is not FREE, and it is NOT strictly necessary for the service.
Medium: either you allow me to read blog posts on your webserver without FORCING me to allow you to collect my data, or you don't. Choose. But stop fucking annoying me with lying banners.
I set the hn zoom level to 120%, and firefox remembers my zoom setting for the site so I don't have to set it every time.
So I made one. Maybe someone else finds this useful.
I was following a group (it.comp.console) at the time using thunderbird but I didn't like google groups so I wrote my own nntp web frontent to follow the group on my smartphone. I contacted some usenet server admins and asked them if I could peer with them (one here on hn), so I set up an nntp server (inn2) and wrote a node/express/js app to read and post to the group.
I make zero money from it, but people liked it and started using it, and now i have about 100 users on the website. I made it mainly for myself as a hobby, but I like that some people like what I made.
PowerBuilder is (was) an extremely powerful rad tool. The datawindow still has no rivals for crud operations on data and for reports.
The web has taken over, but the productivity this tool gives you is nowhere to be found in the modern dev stacks.
I don't know if I still agree with this. One of my most important and private services is exposed on the web - the most untrusted network on the planet - and it's using application layer authentication, and no network isolation.
I don't need a vpn to get access to my gmail, my web banking or my nextcloud instance. I can access all those services over the most untrusted network of the world with a username and a password (and maybe a second factor auth token).
I think network layer isolation is overvalued. In the end, you still have to secure all your local lan resources anyway, because trusting your lan clients is never a good idea. So if your lan is untrusted like the wan network, and you secure all your stuff in your lan like you would secure them if they where exposed on the internet, there is no need for network level isolation at this point. Sure, it's an other layer of security and all that, but that comes with a high cost, that not always is worth paying for.
Call him up on the phone or message him on whatsapp or... whatever...
email IS decentralised. Even if we had ONLY gmail, a startup could implement a better email frontend and be successful.
Having only the nameservers responsible for that zone see the query would already be a huge improvement to what we have now. And with tech that is already available and standardized.
dns-over-tls would prevent your isp from snooping your queries to the .com/.org/.net/.club/... nameservers and we could close the case.
I like this. Do the root servers support this too?
Thanks tb team for your work! I love you all!
They should have disabled the popup, but still allow me to activate it on a per site basis by clicking on the ⓘ in the url bar. Same for location, webcam and mic. I don't want sites to nag me with the location sharing notification, but on google maps I would like to enable it manually by pressing the ⓘ and granting permission.
