pki··on Why the CDC Tracks Wireless-Only Households and Their Risky Behavior
Don't telcos also do this? IIRC Verizon's voice service is over FTTx/VOIP
pki··on Why the CDC Tracks Wireless-Only Households and Their Risky Behavior
I've always had mobile sound a lot better. This might vary by location or provider?
pki··on Ask HN: Scan `ps ax` for malware
Is it not trivial to simply change the process name, one or two lines at most in code? I'm trying to think about the logistics of running something like this and unless the process name is something like ./sshbruteforce 293849 ..

While I get that there's a policy that allows some reposts if they don't get much traction, this seems to be a bit too much..
pki··on China Cuts Mobile Service of Xinjiang Residents Evading Internet Filters
http://www.bj.cyberpolice.cn looks hilarious, I don't know why. Maybe the potted plants.
pki··on Domain-validated SSL will soon be free from the large CAs
You should possibly point out that the first entry on your list is done by "acceptable MITM" - and that you don't control the keys there.
pki··on Beware of ads that use inaudible sound to link your phone, TV, tablet, and PC
Aren't privacyguard's actions Ask / Never / Always?
pki··on FastMail under DDoS Attack
The attack on Gmail would likely not even be a single percent of its traffic every minute.
pki··on Read deleted comments on Reddit
I'd think, personally, a bit less so if he signed up specifically to post that one thing, and contribute absolutely nothing else..
pki··on Amazon Payments plus VPN = account closed
I'd say NordVPN's shared IPs are almost all definitely completely rampant with histories of abuse, fraud, carding, theft, and history of use with spammers on AWS, history of use with stolen credit cards on Amazon, etc.

The response would likely be slightly different if you were using a VPN on your own self hosted VM or something.

pki··on HP Winds Down Cloud Computing Project
We have app.
pki··on Workhorse drone company tests package deliveries in Ohio
I'm in SF and Amazon packages use Ontrac. Ontrac appears to use contractors that just have a sticker on the side of their car with the logo. In the last month alone I've had them forge multiple signatures + report a package as delivered when I've been home all day and nothing arrived. And other times they throw it a decent distance or put it in front and it's stolen within five minutes.

Amazon re-ships via UPS/other and it arrives acceptably. The worst UPS has done is not knock/ring and that's rare.

90%+ of my packages via Ontrac had forged signatures, misreported delivery statuses, not actually arriving, [...]

pki··on How my Apache server became a malicious free internet proxy
my guess would be mod_proxy that didn't explicitly only define a single ip port to proxy to (ala upstream) therefore allowing a http connect?
pki··on EU data protection law after the Safe Harbour judgment
Fb follow links to final destination. It's block this
pki··on California makes electric skateboards street legal
I don't use any affiliate programmes, and generally dislike them. It was the default amazon URL shortener, sorry if any misunderstanding.
pki··on California makes electric skateboards street legal
I usually see these - amzn.com/B00SIOZY6A, unless "electric skateboards" is referring to something else
pki··on Attention K-Mart Shoppers: Recordings of K-Mart In-Store Music from 1992
I think it becomes slightly less offensive when it's ancient and the product/service doesn't really exist anymore - it feels like you're walking through a museum instead of looking at an actual advertisement or something, at least to me

if i was implementing something like that it'd probably be with some kind of flash+localstorage cookie tied to a hardware ID, allowing you to reuse the same browser/machine with 0.05 factor security, but if you cleared everything, you went through the entire normal login flow again, possibly asking for sms verification or email link clicking
pki··on Gigabytes of user data from hack of Patreon donations site dumped online
If your entire box running with source is compromised, could you not just edit whichever file pulls the key to also dump it to a file on start .?
pki··on ASK HN: Why are so many IP's text based?
aren't they mostly/all binary? as far as i can tell most protos I see just use bits for anything featureful, and text is just text
pki··on ASK HN: Why are so many IP's text based?
what do you mean IP?

China's largest freemail provider (which requires a chinese national identity number to register for) is also on that list.

Lol.

pki··on Show HN: Free database of geographic place names and geospatial data
data sets are simply that - data - content

your code would be the scripts you write to process it, and your content would be your data in my opinion

pki··on The strange economics of open-source software
I thought in some places (France?) software patents were unenforceable/not legal/not a thing
pki··on Yet another pre-installed spyware app discovered on Lenovo computers
rms uses a Thinkpad X60 with libreboot, iirc the lemote hasn't been his thing for a while now

pki··on Popular Chinese iOS apps compromised in malware attack
Of course being China, of course Gatekeeper is totally disabled and no one has valid signatures on anything unless it's absolutely required
pki··on Ask HN: Zoho mail custom domain and alternatives
use a proper authenticated smtp relay instead of abusing an ad-supported webmail service, perhaps?

it'd be a way to not get dumped in spam for one thing.
