  1. why to use a VPN on Controversial New UK Internet Powers Bill Makes No Mention of VPNs (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Too many ISPs monitor, sniff, any spy on their customers. If that were outlawed, there would not have been so much pressure to make it easy to use things like encryption. Governments that allowed providers to do that made their own bed of nails. Now they get to sleep on it.

  2. Re:Billion dollar companies on Linux Foundation: Security Problems Threaten 'Golden Age' of Open Source (techweekeurope.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    if it had been 110 billion i'd still not be impressed. in the vast majority of cases, it was not chosen. so my question is, in how many cases was window 10 chosen over somthing else?

  12. Re:but...but... the cloud on Private Medical Data of Over 1.5 Million People Exposed Through Amazon · · Score: 1

    i have uploaded files to AWS S3. the default permission setting allows anyone to read files if they know (or can guess) the bucket name. S3 users need to be more proactive. they need to lockdown access to their S3 buckets (often used for backups). the defaults can be changed.

  19. not waves on Seeing 2.4 GHz Radio Waves · · Score: 1

    that didn't look like waves to me ... particles?

  20. another approach ... on Municipal ISP Makes 10Gbps Available To All Residents · · Score: 1

    another approach is to build a fibre infrastructure that providers can lease on a per-premise basis. then they all have use of the same network (no basis for those "road rage" lawsuits) and the city still gets the advantage of being a place with speed. "per-premise" means one home can have one internet provider while their neighbor has another.

    from TFA:

    it'll just travel alone, advancing toward the outer reaches of the solar system until its power runs out sometime in the 2030s

    and then it will just come to a stop and sit there for billions of years.
