Did everyone forget about soulseek? It's still very much alive, been using it for years.

Fuck congress. They are dead weight. Fuck the president too. Bring back anarchism.
Because that doesn't improve actual security. It's for dumb nuggets who can't do real defensive work. Maybe you would also qualify for that numb job.
The kid who complained is probably going to work at McD for the rest of his life.
No one's buying that shitbox.
Mullvad has proved it doesn't collect. It's laughable to even suggest it.

They have been raided multiple times, tons of audits, does bleeding edge research on privacy preserving tech, donates to GOS, etc etc. You don't see this kind of VPN company at all because none exists.

US labs are the biggest data broker in the current history. They collect everything, dumb fuck.

Metadata can be attached but it's off by default.

GrapheneOS already does this, since forever. Android can't stop copying GOS. Maybe they'll add a network toggle after a few years and call it a privacy win.

Dangerous how? Create a CAA record which pins your CA and only allow dns01 challenge. Problem solved, a BGP hijack can't issue a valid certificate for your site.

Are every commercial filters made of plastic?
Get down to earth. That can never happen nor does it need to.
German govt is also one of the most corrupt and vastly incompetent govt. It's run by bunch of boomers. Most of the prolific ransomware gangs have terrible opsec. De-anon'ing them is child's play. Most of the opsec-aware TAs never even get attributed, let alone get caught for any breaches.
I don't fucking care about made up terms. If you can't see the actual economic growth (not some vague, theoretical fallacy) they create, you're just another moron in denial.
People often forget that Threat Actors (TA) are the ones keeping the infosec alive. They are doing a good job of scaring people into implementing actual security protocols and thereby improving everyone's security posture. The whole infosec would collapse without TAs, let's not forget that. They create jobs.

What a complete abysmal take. Terminals are never going to go away, they are the literal foundation of interaction you dumb fucking moron.

More than money, it's the curse of going mainstream.
Re:Tech Companies Shouldn't Be Bullied into Doing Surveillance on Thursday February 26, 2026 @03:50AM (#47163586)
Bullied? When they find out how much money there is to be made in surveillance business, they will do it voluntarily.

Are you paid by the NSA to spread krebs propaganda? It seems like it.

All of his dox articles are based on sloppy practices from threat actors.

Anyone looking to use jails might find BastileBSD helpful. It's a nice and modern jail manager.

Is there any technical writeup which explains how the isolation exactly works, on containers and VMs? I have always heard the high level arguments of weak isolation, same kernel, etc but never the implementation details.

Krebs lack any sort of real credibility. He's pushing out slop with a govern-mentalist propaganda. Tech journalists are the worst form to gather any actual information.

State sponsored cyber attacks are news to you? It's been a thing since more than 2 decades now.
