Brilliant.
Imagine always having a reliable internet connection at a fraction of the cost.
Civilized countries have already figured this out.
If only there existed people to investigate… and… report… on it…
I suppose good journalism can be slow, though.
And where did all this money go…?
3·4 months agoIt’s a shame the outage didn’t take MSN down with it.
Because a shit ton of fraudulent science hasn’t come out of the US or Europe. Nope. No sir.
Sure, it’s not a bad thing and it should be standard practice, but to act like encrypted traffic guarantees privacy is silly.
If you are implying that a government wants your data, they can just buy it or request it from the company directly. They don’t have to snoop to get it. Also SSL isn’t going to stop them.
The fact that anyone thinks they have any semblance of privacy when typing into an online AI chatbot is saddening.
Of course anything you type into a externally hosted AI is going to be harvested and sold.
But sure, in this case you are also potentially exposing your queries to your ISP or someone listening on your local network too.
Enterprise adopted 100GbE networking around 2019. You can now buy used network cards for around $100 each.
This is dumb.
Even if you encrypt network traffic, the receiving server still knows what you’re doing. All it does is prevent third parties from snooping.
Usually.
3·6 months agoSevere restrictions? Seriously?
Perhaps if you are a big tech corporation, considering that the EFF is an advocate group for digital rights and consumer protection policies.
How about not restricting the internet at all?
No. Every internet user should agree that some types of content should absolutely be prevented from appearing in public pages.
Or instead, form a union and demand better pay and retention incentives.
Yes, it matters.
Also, the actual isolation of container environments varies greatly, on a per container basis. Containers are far less isolated than virtual machines, and virtual machines are less isolated than separate hosts.
Neither containers or VMs will will protect from attacks on the host, see regreSSHion. You may be able to limit access to your host by using containers or VMs, but container escapes and VM escapes are not impossible.
There is much time and effort required to maintain each of these layers. With “stable” distros like Debian, It is often the responsibility of the distribution to provide fixes for the packages they provide.
Given Debian as the example, you are relying on the Debian package maintainer and Debian security team to address vulnerabilities by manually backporting security patches from the current software version to whatever ancient (stable) version of the package is in use, which can take much time and effort.
While Debian has a large community, it may be unwise to use a “stable” distro with few resources for maintaining packages.
OTOH, bleeding edge distros like Arch get many of their patches directly from the original author as a new version release, placing a lower burden on package maintainers. However, rolling releases can be more vulnerable to supply chain attacks like the XZ backdoor due to their frequent updates.
There are actually quite a few “Hollywood” unions, but unionization rates have fallen dramatically over the past few decades.
