Re:Bird – Internet Routing Daemon on Saturday July 27, 2019 @03:51AM (#20540913)
I would love to know if there is a stand-alone RIPng or Ospf daemon or better, kernel module which can be deployed to hosts with minimal effort

having to deploy whole zebra to just be able to announce local docker routes is a bit too much for my liking

And you know the UN address for submitting war crimes evidence by heart?

adding to that, does UN have a convinietly preinstalled app on every phone just for that purpose?

Just because it's reachable, doesn't mean that random witness will know how...

I think you are completely missing the point why they are ending up on these platforms...

Try to imagine a world where "appropriate authorities" do not exist, as a first step.

Places where these materials get captured are not first world countries with respectable, recognised law enforcement.

Most of the people these sharing atrocities are aware only about platforms we call social media.

For them these are the only ways they know how to make it public, for the world to see and hope we will act.

Airbus systems have alternate law mode which kicks in when computers, sensors fail, read about Air France crash

I have had a quick run of an analysis - Academically vs Self trained Computer Engineers among my peers.

From the small sample, it shows very strong correlation between working in ethically questionable organisations and finishing Academia.

Is the opposite for most of my Self trained peers.

Interesting bit is that, I wanted to counter the Stock price argument but after checking current trend it’s back to former values from last year. Well thought out arguments. cheers!
Where do fb recruit engineering talent ?

are we (engineers) really that indifferent to what organizations we support do ?

are they capable of metabolising the toxin ?

Re:Why Telegram is insecure (2015) on Sunday January 06, 2019 @08:58AM (#18838317)
Why don't we actually ask the question from a perspective of a user.

Do people want randomly scattered , unmaintained information containers which are not accessible via unified interface, but still vulnerable to theft and abuse ?

Or the desirable functionality is an easy to use, secure, organized knowledge repository ?

My answer is: As a user, I want to be the only one able to search my own information, and I want to do it conveniently and securely.

Re:Is there hope for IPv6? on Sunday January 06, 2019 @04:43AM (#18837483)
every ipv4 only isp is legacy, not modern

basically they are the edissons of electricity boom era when AC was becoming the new standard for power transfer

Re:Is there hope for IPv6? on Sunday January 06, 2019 @04:40AM (#18837470)
yup, modern is a qualification meaning that they support current internet standards, not only legacy

as per internet standards/rfc’s IPv4 is a legacy protocol, so every ISP limiting it’s customers to only this veraion is not considered modern

Re:Is there hope for IPv6? on Saturday January 05, 2019 @11:48AM (#18832604)
Yup, now you have to go out of your way to not support it.

Literary, every modern ISP, hosting or Cloud provides it.

Every Operating System, be it server or client or router, supports IPv6.

Multi currency in UK with regular banks is dead. Some time ago, you were able to have USD, EUR and GBP , now they don't open new ones easily.

Alternatives likes Transferwise or Revolut would be the norm for operating across different currencies.

As surveillance is more and more about computers, networks and not people running with microphones...

Maybe IT sector, like Medical, should have their Hippocratic Oath, and we should enforce it among our peers.

Too many times I read that some Organisations do evil things. Each of these organisations is made up of people, and good deal of them is some kind of IT specialist. Without IT supporting these actions, maybe, these orgs would not get as far with evil as they are getting to today.

Is there an equivalent to f-droid but for chrome instead of android ?

Who, like what exact person, persons are bringing it back, all the time to censor the populus ?

Can we just “tell” “them” to get lost and leave us alone for good ?

Amazing, make me feel good about abandoning google ecosystem a few years ago

Best part is I don’t miss it at all, grew up before evil google, didn’t get to rely on their evil parts when switched away
