andrewnicolalde··on Do success stories cause false beliefs about success?
Could that be due to the increasingly severe consequences of failure?
andrewnicolalde··on What are Attackers after on IoT Devices?
Rest assured it is not that difficult :). Correct, I've configured several firewall rules on the UniFi web UI, since I have a UniFi router/firewall (in my case a USG). If you'd like some help, feel free to reach out to me on keybase! I'm andrewnicolalde on there.
andrewnicolalde··on What are Attackers after on IoT Devices?
I currently rely pretty much exclusively on my Unifi gateway’s not-great IPS/IDS system, which allegedly receives updated threat intelligence feeds periodically. Outside of actual intrusion detection, I prevent my IoT devices (which are located in their own VLAN) from contacting the internet wherever possible, and entirely block any inter-VLAN traffic other than responses to connections initiated from devices residing on a “trusted clients network”, which hosts my phone, laptop etc.

These sound like two different sorts of trips, and two very different sorts of companies.
andrewnicolalde··on Three ex-US intelligence officers admit hacking for UAE
Maybe not treason, but surely espionage?
andrewnicolalde··on Why doesn’t natural immunity count in the US?
> Pardon my ignorance, but does this mean by contrast that vaccines are designed to induce a uniform response across immune systems?

Also not an expert and curious, would that not be a (the?) design goal of any vaccine?

What in your opinion has America done to India?

andrewnicolalde··on Incident: Airbus A330 at Taipei, primary computers failed on touchdown (2020)
That sounds like a great war story if you’re open to telling it :)

Perhaps to further what oppressive humans have long wanted but not previously had the capability to do.
andrewnicolalde··on AWS doesn’t know who I am
Is this the case for you? Mine are totally different. How did they get tied together?
andrewnicolalde··on How the Taliban Overran the Afghan Army, Built by the U.S. over 20 Years
Not really sure that’s true, given the creation of the Bundeswehr shortly after the Second World War, though it was not purely the US’s creation.
andrewnicolalde··on Google and Microsoft have opaque and unpredictable ad moderation
This is an aside but check out their security page:

That’s what I’d like to see from any security page!

Unfortunately this disqualified PfSense for me as well.

andrewnicolalde··on I Will Never Use a Microsoft Account to Log Into My Own PC
Regarding screen tearing and trackpad issues, these are largely gone. Wayland has more or less solved the screen tearing issue and I have yet to encounter a poor trackpad experience using a modern machine, in my case an XPS 15 9570.
andrewnicolalde··on International coalition calls for action against surveillance-based advertising
I’m not GP.
andrewnicolalde··on International coalition calls for action against surveillance-based advertising
Why do those ads need to be so aggressively targeted? I don’t mind ads related to the primary topic of the website for example. I might actually find those useful! What I have a problem with is the invasion of privacy created by highly personalized, persistent profiling of my life for the purpose of selling things to me.
andrewnicolalde··on An unwanted update to your Google Account
Yes, and it looks like it changed to Malaysia rather than remaining in Germany.

How many (if any) of that 90% are just non-replies?

andrewnicolalde··on Supporting Let’s Encrypt, the nonprofit making HTTPS free for all
Even things like Extended Validation certificates have in the past shown themselves to be subject to relatively significant inaccuracies[1] if that's any sort of mixed comfort.
