I personally burned out. Yes free internet was helpful when I was discovering my gay sexuality. Now it hypercharges the cult of youth and beauty, making it impossible to date.
Yes, I was great advocate of self hosting, till due to combination of ADHD and other stuff my domain expired and was taken by squatter. And the incessant DDoSing.
And the tone-deaf arguments completely ignoring that there are bad people on the internet too. Talking about online anonymity when google has most of your email even if you don't use it. And Cloudflare has most of your traffic, unencrypted.
Does it solve the brine problem? Usually the seawater must be heavily treated first before desalination and the resulting brine causes ecological problems when discharged.
If you don't understand what the library is doing, and blindly put in local time without any consideration, you will get bitten someday. And all libraries use the same timezone database/logic anyway and run into same issues the author describes.
> And before you go on objecting that a physical true RNG remains better than a could-theoretically-be-broken CSPRNG, understand that your random output often must have no detectable bias to be secure. That means a distribution so uniform you can’t detect a bias even after analysing 2^64 samples.
Why not, actually? I would think simple and trivially auditable HW RNG with, say, only 0.9 bits of entropy per output bit (raw! no whitening) is preferable to "perfect" but fragile algorithm.
Anything that requires the randomness in practice has enough overhead so that the 90% good entropy is not a problem. Failures caused by wrong assumptions and complications are.
They should at least call the army right, as "Warsaw Pact army". Specifically the Fulda gap breach was not planned to be sparheaded by Soviet army but they would send Czechoslovaks first into the meat grinder IIRC.
Many bots open new TCP connection for every request, which is incredibly wasteful but leads to easy filtering via ipt_hashlimit firewall rules. Browsers and other well behaved clients work fine with limit as low as 3 connections per minute per IP. It avoids the SSL handshake overhead too. YMMV of course, but worth trying out.
no it was reply to "i just dont want cloudflare ai-scanning my blog, seeing the word "DDoS" because i am in networking, and proactively removing my site from the internet."
Your account can get terminated for any other random nonsense though. Happens all the time, with cloudflare, google, github, everywhere. Everyone just pretends that "this can't happen to me". You want cyberspace free from any "evil" state jurisdiction, nor "coddling" so this is what you get.
