The rage yes maybe, but Star Citizen is definitely not off topic. Article mentions WC1-3, it's a franchise article. SC is Origin's canceled Privateer Online [:)] without the license.
For the Wing Commander community, they're inseparable despite the licensing.
It's not so much about changing the IP address, but moving the targeted system out from behind the clogged tube. Changing IP address may or may not do that.
For many, many DDoS scenarios this does not work. The spurious packets may saturate an upstream ISP, causing that ISP to unilaterally apply a null route or block for all packets for the targeted origin IP. No CloudFlare packets would arrive at all.
If one is concerned about DDoS, one should work with their ISPs on the plan of action for various scenarios. Finding out their procedures when ones' hair is on fire is not fun.
You're staking out some pretty tough ground, there. Human error can be unconscious or reflexive, and that type of UI element is sometimes barely a speedbump, cognitively.
Occasionally I reflexively click-through a confirmation dialogue box and regret it. I feel like I've been trained by the software industry for decades to bludgeon my way through these confirmations, many of which are unnecessary to begin with. I basically have muscle memory for it, the skids are greased for clicking-through. I know I'm not the only one.
So, I could see myself making this type of slip. It's really hard to know the balance between human and system error for this incident, but to me it looks like the system naively assumes a perfect human. Even if the incident turns out to have been an intentionally malicious act, the problem with the system would still remain.
YouTube is just distribution. It's like crediting heavy trucks for winning WW2, or crediting YCombinator News's CDN for writing this witty and insightful message.
New for me, too. Looks like accelerationism is a bit of everything. Legitimate applied philosophy, I guess the communists were some early accelerationists.
I feel like this is the link someone above me should have shared:
SEEMS LIKE philosophy-type sub-communities trying to figure out how to use all this new tech these past few decades to achieve 'post-capitalism'. Lots of room for different political tribes, in that direction.
Tempted to check out a book related to this stuff, but I haven't exactly had my philosophical world rocked yet by anything I've read about it yet.
> I really want to know how to do this. My stubble goes from 0-day to 1-day to 2-day to 3-day and then back to 0-day...
I achieve variable-length shaven-stubble with "Amazon: Panasonic Beard and Mustache Trimmer and Hair Clipper for Men". Once-over with the main clipper (sans attachment) is like a 2/3 day (but it looks a little uneven), and then the mustache trimmer to achieve a 1/2-day.
Avoiding zero-days is a priority of mine, also, so I felt compelled to share. Good luck!
Good questions. Another I'd add is: are there any contractual/legal requirements preventing these intel subcontractors from proxying the full firehose to CIA? If so, it's possible those requirements would be respected on the government side.
I'm skeptical there would be any practical restrictions in RT's case.
SENATOR COTTON: I want to discuss cooperation with our Intelligence Community from Silicon Valley, specifically Twitter and a company called Dataminr. According to the Wall Street Journal from May 8th, as well as some other media reports, Dataminr which is owned in part by Twitter and is the only company authorized to access the full real-time stream of public tweets that Twitter has, recently cooperated with the CIA. But just a few weeks ago ended that cooperation. So our Intelligence Community no longer has access to Dataminr's information, could you comment on these reports?
DIRECTOR BRENNAN: It appears as though Dataminr was directed to not provide its service to the CIA Intelligence Community and so therefore, we need to be able to leverage other capabilities in order to make sure that we have the insight we need to protect this country.
COTTON: So those reports are correct?
BRENNAN: I am not going to dispute them.
COTTON: The Wall Street Journal also reported that the CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, directed Dataminr to stop the contract because he was worried about the "optics" of helping intelligence agencies. Do you believe that to be accurate?
BRENNAN: I do not know his motivation for any corporate decision he may have made, but I have no basis to dispute that.
COTTON: The Wall Street Journal also reports that among customers of Dataminr remains RT, Russia Today, a propaganda outlet of Vladimir Putin's government, which Putin has said is "trying to break the Anglo-Saxon monopoly on global information streams." To your knowledge, is Russia Today a client of Dataminr?
BRENNAN: I believe so, I'm not certain of that. But I don't have any information that they have been excluded from their services.
