Did i mishear, or was there a line in the trailer “the mayor stepped in where the government couldn’t”? Does mayor mean something else other than “the person in charge if the city government”?

Like that line is nonsense to me but trying to figure out if im missing something here…

“living off of your property” is shorthand (and so maybe we should be more explicit) for “living off of the production and labor of other people who need access to your property to do that labor”.

So yea, i think it is exploitative to restrict access your property to someone who would use it to reproduce themselves each day (a home) or would use it to produce other valuable goods and services (a job) and to require that person to pay you for access (that home again) or you’ll pay them wages less than what they produce (that job).

And i think exploitative is inherently bad.

I turned off QoS and immediately am getting 930 on speedtest.net from the desktop browser!

Also, very helpful to know Issue 1 here. I assumed that the router would be the best spot to test since it is farthest upstream (other than the modem). I didn’t know it could pass traffic faster than it can decode, but that makes sense that people would have tried to make that the case. The router is still getting ~500 Mbps while the browser is much closer to the full 1000.

fast.com gives 500 Mbps

going to librespeed.org got me 482 down

that makes sense, and I’m looking now. However, the only thing that has anything other than zero in the ‘Real-time rate’ on the router is the computer i’m typing this on, which is at ~30KB/s up and down

I’ve got a coax cable (not fiber) coming into the house, in the USA. My understanding is that there is some amount of shared network with the neighbors.

That is the correct question, and mostly no, I don’t have any specific problem.

The biggest motivator for me looking at it is probably just hobby/interest/how-does-this-work.

That said, my partner and I both work from home ~50% and are often pulling files/data that are a couple GB from the work network, and having those go faster would be nice. Probably the limiting factor in those, though, is the upload from the work network and so faster download for us likely wouldn’t matter, but I’d like to be able to say “I looked into it, honey.”

“DO NOT EVER TURN THIS SERVER OFF - CALL RON” is very good

If you arent an actual journalist who is being personally, specifically hunted then you probably don’t need to take the same precautions as one.

And yea, the guide boils down to “none of these things are 100% safe but they are realistic things you can do that can offer more protection than not doing them.”

Your skimming of the article missed how they do indeed talk about the shortcomings of every suggestion they have. For example, the article also does indeed talk about how you can turn off gps but your phone will still ping towers revealing your location, and goes on to say that you can put your phone in a faraday bag but that isnt practical for most people but is indeed an option if you want to do it.

I use the parental controls on the router to put the roomba in grounded-child mode.

That said, I’m not actually positive it works… it is able to connect to home assistant, so it definitely has local network connectivity, but I haven’t proved to myself that it is actually unable to connect to its remote servers since it isn’t really that big of a deal to me.

This article isnt about how emails associated with logins got released in a breach, but that documents that are uploaded to the archive are stamped with the email address of the account that uploaded it and that can be viewed by anyone who downloads the document.

So in standard, everyday use of the site, email addresses are being revealed and are associated with the actions of that person. Like if I upload a copy of the manual for my washing machine or something, which is a more benign example, my email is linked to that document now.

Then combine this with (1) the internet archive says in multiple spots that they dont reveal this info anywhere, and (2) the issue has been raised to the organization, and it becomes more of a specific negligence from them.

The nsa wants to watch people who are watching the pornhub video of someone else watching porn. The third level there is more difficult to find

The folks who found it are presenting at Defcon this weekend, according to the article.

I imagine some of the industry press (i.e. Wired) are just looking through the Defcon agenda to figure out what to write. I saw two or three other articles about hacks or exploits and things like that that also mentioned it was bring presented at Defcon.

Everyone who downvoted me didnt read the article, or didnt read what i said, or didnt read op, or something, i dont remember what they didnt read but they cannot be real because the only way to disagree with me is to not have read something or other (or did read it, cant remember which)

I read the fun blogpost that is not an academic paper and ive downvoted you. Does that mean i dont actually exist or that u dont actually exist???

Inside me there are two wolves, one that thinks “gamer” stuff is stupid, and another that thinks this router looks sweet as hell.

Im very amused at it being in word rather than .xlsx or .txt, like them going out if their way to make it worse because word is all they know.
