Thanks for your response! So using specific examples here for smtp, I get a 1gbps guaranteed network from Hetzner so in theory I’d need to distribute over 50 servers to withstand this attack?

It’s not clear to me why fail2ban wouldn’t at least help, if the botnet is a thousand machines wouldn’t I (eventually) have them all blocked? And therefore reduce the overall duration of the attack? Or is the problem that it’s hard to differentiate between good clients and bad clients because no single client is sending enough traffic to be suspicious?

Also, do you have any specific examples of ddos scrubbing services? Would like to take a look specifically at affordability for individuals.
I could wrong but I remember that these peoples copied how you can decoratively write UI aka JSX. Did they also copy hooks ? Not that it is a bad thing to copy, just curious hope it looks.
The HP-48x with a COGO card in the slot was a big advance for me; I learned on a Wild T3 theodolite, so advanced total stations with a data colletor such as the Leica were a big step up in productivity as well.
At this scale you pretty much need to apply some sort of DDoS scrubbing service. Your ISP might already have one they can route traffic through or if you have your own AS you can let a DDoS service announce the target prefixes.

A game i run was recently hit with a 102 Ggbps CLDAP reflection attack. We were down for a while until our ISPs DDoS protection detected it after that we were mostly unaffected. If the attack is difficult to separate from legitimate traffic you'll still suffer though.
Indeed. Anything less than this is a slap on the wirst that will change nothing.

No idea if the price they're asking is realistic or not.
They don't reliably stop you from contracting it, they don't reliably stop you from spreading it, they don't reliably stop symptoms. They are "mildly effective" by any reasonable comparison to any decent pre-existing vaccine (no, the flu vaccine doesn't count). And they are getting less effective by the day. Already we are hearing talk of third, fourth, fifth booster shots -- for a vaccine that is less than a year old. Have you ever heard of such a thing before, for any other shot?

As for 700k deaths -- yes, 700k mostly old, mostly already unhealthy deaths in a country of 320 million people, tallied across two years. This is not a civilization-ending plague. Moreover, almost all of the at-risk demographic already has been vaccinated. So if they are as effective as you imply, what is the justification for forcing it on everyone else? You cannot simultaneously claim that they are so effective, and at the same time that everyone must be vaccinated in order to protect the at-risk people who are themselves already vaccinated. It is a deranged contradiction.
Social media sites offer a simple way to share links with their circle which drives back more traffic than just one user consuming the content through RSS.

Licensing isn't brain surgery. There is a grand total of five or so licenses that are in broad use today, perhaps a couple more if you include the LGPL and AGPL families. It's perfectly possible to learn what each of them do, or limit yourself to only using the ones that you understand.

Agreed. This is straightforward fraud: they promised to find the lowest possible prices, and instead deliberately overcharged people in order to line their own pockets. In a properly regulated industry, this would be a violation of their fiduciary duty, which is punished extremely severely.

ReactOS is a pipedream which will never happen.

Haiku sounds really promising but needs like 100x developers and money to take off which I don't see happening.

Google's Fuchsia/Zircon is looking to replace the Linux kernel (already done for a number of devices) and hopefully userspace as well.
TL;DR: We need SDK tracking prevention at the user device level.

> [Google and Facebook] have been working closely to help Facebook "recognize users in auctions and bid and win more often."

> "For example, Google and Facebook have integrated their software development kits (SDKs) so that Google can pass Facebook data for user ID cookie matching," the amended complaint says.

Devs flipped out when Apple put code in iCloud Photos SDK to screen images prior to encrypted storage on Apple’s servers. Gist was “it’s my phone, not Apple’s phone, they have no right…” even though this was an SDK for user intent uploads.

I raised the point this isn’t ‘just’ an Apple issue, it’s an SDK issue. Referenced the weather app SDK scandal a few years back when most weather apps were selling user tracking, many without even knowing.

Similar happens with user/member/location SDKs across the board.

Devs are incorporating user-hostile SDKs in their apps, with Google and FB among the top two. Users have dev’s apps running in their phones with no idea they’re giving those two firms broad reach.

The SDK telemetry for user tracking aggregation is much more pervasive, hostile, and unexpected by users than a hash check on image upload.

Tools like NextDNS.io, AdGuard, or eero Secure help block these SDKs’ tentacles but most DNS providers refuse to help. (CloudFlare, for instance — are their ad clients too big?) Apple’s new tracker blocking doesn’t help enough either, as it blocks some trackers but not ads which track, and breaks NextDNS and AdGuard (bug they say they’ll fix).

This problem of common SDKs working across apps to ensure one way or another the user is caught in the dragnet demands a technical solution at the user device level.

To me React hooks look like they want to be a different programming language while still using js-syntax. It would be great if "useState", "useMemo" and the like would be first class citizens in a PL.

Hooks as they are have some non-obvious rules which can make them hard to understand / learn. Also debugging is not great (but that's true for react in general, imo)
Ohhh, I think this can be a generalized life hack! Thanks!

Thanks for making this. It looks worth giving a try.

Some friends and I get together roughly weekly using Jamulus. We're playing mostly jazz standards. We have gotten latency down into the 20 ms range, when we are all in the same town. That's the ping time. Add another ~ 40 ms that seems to be eaten up by my local computer and wired home network.

With that said, online jamming is hard work. I'm the bassist. Fortunately I can set my double bass aside and use my electric bass, so I'm not hearing my acoustic and delayed sound at once. The wind instruments and singer, not so lucky. For the bassist it's a constant chore to hold the tempo, leaving little room for anything expressive.

I'm glad to be doing this, beats not playing at all, but yet there is still no substitute for playing together in person.

People saying that the laws are only there to ruin your business are mainly non-Europeans who have at most read a shallow blog posts on the topic, also written by non-Europeans.

The EU laws and regulations are quite simple to follow, and I dare say that it's much more difficult for those large corporations you mentioned because they usually have much more responsibilities. Smaller companies with a smaller scope do not have to worry about rules which do not concern them and their business.

So, to answer your question, yes, this is exactly what I want personally. For-profit actors need to be scrutinized.
- effectiveness.

The COVID vaccines are 95%+ effective against the original COVID virus. This is better than some of the vaccines we routinely give out, and worse than some.

- lifelong immunity

One of our routine vaccinations (tetanus) needs booster shots every ten years. Some routine vaccinations need 4 doses before effectiveness. And this is for diseases that aren't mutating.

The COVID "waning immunity" story is a red herring. All vaccinations only produce antibodies for a few months -- B cells etc provide immunity after a few months for COVID and every other viral vaccine.

- target a disease which is not that dangerous

COVID has a fatality rate between 0.2 and 1.0 %. This is higher than the death rate for measles and many other diseases we routinely vaccinate for.

- and is particularly not-dangerous for children

700 dead children in the US would disagree. It's not a high rate of death but is similar to other causes (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmsr1804754)

If we had to live with that rate of childhood death we could, but vaccines are so cheap and side-effect free we shouldn't have to.
Wow. I really like the positioning of your product: the audience and value proposition are crystal clear.

I'm going to share this with my musician friends and see what they have to say. I know they had challenges jamming at the start of the pandemic lockdown that stemmed from a) variance in internet connection strengths and b) innate latency in Zoom.

Theranos is largely agnostic to privacy laws; it came about due to shoddy medical regulation (specifically, while medicines and medical devices deployed to hospitals and homes are heavily regulated in the US, medical labs are not).

Also, arguably, shoddy financial regulation. In many countries, large private companies have to submit audited accounts to the regulators, and that would likely have raised alarms about the other problems with the business earlier.

It's a company, it's a bit weird if they have to ask all the time for support, so they try to monetize in ways that finally are not really invasive. (At least that's my opinion)

They try, they fail, they try again, they fail again. It's hard to monetize from such a product, that's unfortunately the truth.
The developers of the original product have been asking very vocally, and they’re also parties in this case, having been harmed by the actions.

Filling corruption-sensitive positions is a really difficult problem. On one hand it's near impossible to trust the purity of anyone with ties to the opponent, whilst on the other it is precisely and pretty much only those people that have expertise, experience, and inside knowledge that one requires to achieve meaningful success.

Also, if you were chief evil at bigco, wouldn't you keep some people without any backlink around precisely for situations like these?

You test the hook itself. It is a function after all and using hook testing library, it is fairly easy to test.

And if you want to test the component using it, you simply mock the hook and make sure the mocked hook returns all the value you want to test. What goes inside of the hook is outside your concern when testing the parent component.

The Arab Spring was not "a CIA op". The CIA certainly aligned with various forces/groups/nations to maximize the benefits to the US after the Arab Spring protests and its consequences, but strongmen like Ben Ali/Mubarak/Assad were useful (read: preferred) to the US and Israel in maintaining relative stability and hegemony. Social media adoption was a dominant catalyst in these very controlled environments.

Lest we lose track of context, the actual spark of the movement was the self immolation of a poor street vendor who set himself aflame in protest of the corrupt local authorities.
Yes it will have to do that. Some packages .npmignore the source files so those may not even be present.

But doing that is actually easier than having to deal with all the different ways of versioning packages. For example, I am not using git tags in my project, some others may be, some may be using a branch not named `master` to deploy from. They're going to have to intelligently traverse the git tree to draw meaningful conclusions.

They do have it. They used to publish it. Then someone found a vulnerability in a commit of theirs (6e42e3b1eca73c306db1580719a3a1bfb715f6d8 if you're interested in looking it up in a mirror), exploited it, and took all data Gab ever had.

This current approach is just a deliberate obfuscation in an attempt for it not to repeat. By just providing a zip you can't really look at their changes on top of Mastodon with git log, you have to put in slightly more effort.

> and no market is really a "winner takes it all"

Market for OSes for PCs (not Macs) is a great example. Windows has what, 98% market share there? It got there thanks to the dynamics of this particular market, which is totally a "winner takes all" one. In particular, if Microsoft were more relaxed in 80ties and 90ties, there likely would not be Microsoft or Windows at all today, and everybody'd be using Os/2 Warp or BeOS or something else on our PCs.

> Why I left [...] Burnout [...] I wish I'd done more to fight those things, beyond signing petitions and walkouts. I'm not much of an activist though, especially with burnout.

It's interesting that the author mentions this, but doesn't make a connection between feeling burned out and feeling that they have to be personally responsible for everything the company does.

I don't even disagree with many of the demands of internal "activist", but the strategies they use (walkouts, trying to keep everyone outraged as much as possible) seem ineffectual to me: The main effect seems to be that it makes ordinary employees feel more burned out since they're made aware of many things that they're suppose to be angry about but at the same time they're powerless to change them. That's a recipe for burnout.

I get that the thinking is that ordinary employees are not powerless due to collective action, but for that to work you have to be a lot better at picking your battles. You can affect one to two larger things per year, so getting up in arms over every (comparatively) little thing just has the effect that your activism achieves nothing but burn out the people who want to have on your side.
> People don't have the slightest clue how traditional vote counting and recount procedures work until sometimes goes wrong and it makes the news

Is that really the case? It seems far more common that the problem isn’t that people don’t understand how it works but is rather that they don’t like the result and pick that as an excuse.

When evaluating a proposed new system, we have to think about it outside of contexts where everyone is acting in good faith — the current system survived hundreds of challenges because it’s simple, robust, and anyone can understand how it works and that cheating would require moving millions of pieces of paper in locations around the country, which is very hard to conceal. Try to think about how a complex digital system would offer new avenues for complaint to the same well-funded attackers whose claims are not constrained by facts or reason. As we’ve already seen, even if the new part was perfectly implemented all they’d do is shift to where it interfaces with the real world (“I hit A and it changed it to B!”, “These people weren’t eligible to vote and I just know they voted for the other guy”, etc.). Since it wouldn’t be perfect, it would just afford new angles for misrepresenting things to a willing audience – as we saw with those fake “pcaps” or claims that China was connecting to the voting machine servers.
The article seems to focus on what is and isn't good to read. I'd say, don't focus on reading at all, focus on building. Decide to build something that'll need some CSS, and search and read and try things in pursuit of the goal of getting that thing working right. It's more interesting and easier to remember things that you've actually used, or at least tried and decided not to use, than to just read about 50 things that you might never use at all.
