jiveturkey··on Show HN: Running the second public ODoH relay
Going off on a tangent, I wish there were more awareness of how this concentrates power to Cloudflare.
jiveturkey··on Show HN: Running the second public ODoH relay
Leaked to different parties.

Assuming you don't have ECH, you leak the question (in practical terms) to your ISP, and you leak your question to the DNS provider. With ODoH you plug the latter leak. Plugging that first leak is then still a problem (solved separately) but it's orthogonal to the second.

Even with ECH, where you plug the TLS leak, you have many more holes to plug. IP address might not be shared or might be shared across too few properties, and then traffic profile after the initial connect (to retrieve all the sub-resources) can identify destinations.

jiveturkey··on Show HN: Running the second public ODoH relay
If relay and target are operated by the same provider, there is no collusion. Collusion occurs between 2+ parties. You have stipulated that they are the same party.

They have $4b in cash and Q1 FCF $84m, and 70% gross margin. They can become profitable anytime they want.

It’s not DNS

There’s no way it’s DNS

It was DNSSEC

jiveturkey··on VS Code inserting 'Co-Authored-by Copilot' into commits regardless of usage
It doesn't mean that. A Co-Authored-By header isn't a legal signature or legal assertion of AI generated code.
jiveturkey··on Vercel’s pricing page
I guess one could argue that flat pricing is actually quite expensive, and more akin to ssotax than real value. I guess it depends on the median team size that adds this feature.
jiveturkey··on Vercel’s pricing page
yes, i understood, and i am saying you are wrong.

the enterprise tax also always includes other features (often you don't care about those -- acknowledged and that's why we call it ssotax because "we" only want the sso portion), and is priced per-seat. it's particularly vile when removal of dark patterns is also gated behind the ssotax/enterprise tier. such as advertising to every user.

the vercel offering is a flat price per month and doesn't bring in other stuff you don't care about. it's very well priced and you pay for just the value you want. it's unfair to lump it into the concept of ssotax.

jiveturkey··on Vercel’s pricing page
no, with vercel it's an independent add-on. unique AFAIK.
jiveturkey··on My Stratum-0 Atomic Clock
GPS antennas typically need power. GPS receivers expect to be the sole power supplier. Simple, cheap signal distribution won't handle this. There are splitters that can allow one downstream port to supply power, but that fails when that single receiver fails. There are other splitters that are active-active. I guess you're claiming that the boxes from Time Machines are such active-active devices.

Those are not cheaper than an antenna! Although from the photo I'm not sure he bought the cheap antennas.

Speaking from experience deploying stratum-1. Not stratum-0, but the same GPS concerns.

interesting, very interesting, because these could trivially be made uber-secure just by having a larger word list.

jiveturkey··on Waymo says can't avoid bike lanes because riders want to be dropped off in them
bit of an absolutist argument in california. can't speak to the UK.

it's obviously safer (for cyclists) for taxis or even carpools to drop off and pick up at the far right, ie into the bike lane. i think we can generally consider it to be "parking" not "driving" and thus within the letter of the law as well. (parking is explicitly allowed.)

we know this very well, and that's why there are curb-separated lanes and they tried a center lane on van ness for awhile.

it just generally sucks to share bikes and cars and we have to live with compromises.

jiveturkey··on Waymo says expecting driverless taxis to stay out of bike lanes is unrealistic
huh i didn't know about a specific bike lane law. but i do know the law that right turns must be taken as "close as practicable" to the right side of the roadway. plus there's the hint of the dashed line. Sneaking into the extra space to the right isn't a shortcut -- it's required by law, ie even without a bike lane.

in california, which is where the incident in TFA occurred.

jiveturkey··on GitHub's Fake Star Economy
6 million. is that a lot? it's too bad they don't tell us.

but i think based on their statement that north of 90% of the buying repos were terminated by github, i'd say there would be very very many more fake stars without any github intervention.

i guess i just wish they hadn't made the first words of the article "Six million fake stars" without putting that into scale.

> One thing that surprised me is the [high] price [vs SES for example]

Not sure if you read the announcement closely:

> Sending email that actually reaches inboxes usually means wrestling with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records. When you add your domain to Email Service, we configure all of it automatically. Your emails are authenticated and delivered, not flagged as spam.

this service is batteries included. SES is not.
