  1. Re:Absence?! on How Ready Is IPv6 To Succeed IPv4? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    NAT has nothing to do with security. What people confuse as security is the fact that NAT is always implemented in the form of NAT+filter, never as just NAT alone. So they think the security comes from the NAT part when in reality, it's the filter part that does the job of keeping the network secure. You can remove NAT and keep the filter and have exactly the same security with IPv6.

    If there was such a thing as NAT _without_ a filter, your ISP could simply set a route to your private address space via your external router - since he's the next hop - and access your internal network freely.

    If you think NAT has anything to do with security you're just an amateur who knows nothing other than his plastic blackbox "consumer" router, and draw conclusions from what he sees in the user interface of that thing.

    But it is possible to freeload on... publicly served data? You're not making any sense.

    I request, they serve. I can do whatever I want with their data on my machine. There's not even a contract here.

    "Unspoken understanding" in the context of a multi-million dollar faceless corporation. That actually made me chuckle. They're the first ones to break the unspoken understanding of paying proper taxes for example and I'm supposed to let them infest my machine with bullshit? GTFO.

    Go and make me sign a contract or don't serve your shit freely. Easy.

    Correction: That's how marketing scum wants it to work.

    As was said, it's my machine. It runs code and downloads data _I_ want, not you. Don't like it? Go invent your own Internet with your own protocols that grant you more control and stop freeloading on the open protocols we already have!

  6. Re: ad blocker? on Google To Offer Ad-Free YouTube - At a Price · · Score: 1

    I don't use an ad blocker per se. noscript + RequestPolicy somehow seem to prevent ads in videos. Maybe the ads come from different servers, I don't know.

    I've never seen an ad in front of a video in years.

    That would work if the murders were covered up and, upon bringing them to public attention, the criminals were brought to justice.

    But alas, the murders _are_ publicly know. It's just that the corrective force is completely failing.

    The transparency is here, it's just without consequence.

    Yeah, who cares about the murders he is directly responsible for. Let's regret missing transparency.

    Yeah, they better teach about these techniques if you really think SSL works by handing out your private keys.

    I have no idea WTF you are talking about. A closed TCP port emits an RST. It even says so in the very link you posted:

    They're not only not convenient, they're also not secure in the sense that in order to work with your data, you have to decrypt it _somewhere_. Unless you secure erase your free drive space after zipping your files back up and deleting the unencrypted copies, I wouldn't consider that data to be secure anymore, at all.
