I like how people are arguing that ls is alive, like there is active work being done on it over 38 years. A Unix tool that does one thing well can be considered finished and sit for years without anything going on. That doesn't mean it's dead. Sure, maybe people want fancy new stuff, but again, doesn't mean dead. If it had security problems for years, then one could argue that it's dangerous for it not to be updated and if it isn't, then proclaim it dead so people will move to something safer, but this trend to call something dead because it isn't in rust and doesn't have colors and git awareness? Meh

Using any customized shell that you recommend?

Sure if you didn't read and only skimmed the article...

Maybe because you need to go to the data center to reboot open bsd

What is the response of the bird developers?

Also, for those responding that you don't see the problem, it's simple: remote unsanitized input cause denial of service

Wrong layer. Privacy pass is for HTTP

You are right, its the timer that threw me off.

Can someone explain why the ssh video at 2:25, where the 256bit comparison is pasted in, it doesn't match? The first two colon separated number sets do match, but not the following two?

Wow, yeah I would definitely not make a decision to do something critical like that based on that kind of "evidence" lol

If cloudflare dropped someone because they couldn't withstand the traffic, that would be an exceptional event that would not go unnoticed. I don't believe they do that.

As someone who has run services online for the last two decades, without ever using Cloudflare, you do have "options". Those options tend to be rooted in proper network engineering, DDoS mitigation, owning and operating your own ASN and advertising routes through multiple physical POPs and proper distributed hosting, with low-dynamic content.

But if by "options" you are talking about "pay someone else to deal with the problem", then sure you might be right.

Somehow I knew if I looked at these comments, I'd see the top poster be something like "I know someone, who knows someone, who heard from someone else that this one time in bandcamp..."

Why would they voluntarily act as agents of the state to do that? They would need to be compelled legally to do so, and to do that in the US would require a legal order that has not yet succeeded (remember the Apple case around the terrorist in San Bernadino?).

Before you say, "Well, it could be done in secret", please look up the Wiretap + technical assist laws and note the disclosure requirements.

Except they've been around for 20 years, and the people running it are part of the left activist movement. I don't think its particularly constructive to post a comment on the internet about how something "smells"

Because of what? The US has fairly good privacy protections. Certainly, they are a five-eyes member, but for example it is not required by law that you keep logs. In many places in europe, it is required.

Switzerland is a grouping of "Cantons" and each has very distinct autonomy. Some of them are far more conservative than others, and are going to have judges who are going to make decisions accordingly.

As much as we might like to believe it, law is not universally applied in a fair manner. Swiss authorities will approve requests that are total garbage requests. I happen to be on the receiving end of one of those, which was eventually, after significant time, effort and money thrown out for prejudice.

Why don't you use riseup.net, they have been providing similar services specifically for activists for more than 20 years. While they are based in the US, the idea that Switzerland = privacy is bull. In the US, you are not required to keep logs. If you have them, you can be forced to turn them over, but if you don't they cannot force you to enable them.

I have been a riseup user for years. They have received foreign legal requests, and they do not simply do the task requested. They've also received US-based legal requests, and challenge them, but in the end, they do not have the data that is being requested, so ultimately they can respond saying exactly that.
