tryauuum··on Vulnerability reports are not special anymore
I don't fully get you. Do you mean untrusted regex or untrusted data it operates on?

And to be honest, even if the regex is trusted (came from a developer) and the data as well (something predictable and structured) we are still not protected from the developer using extremely stupid regex and breaking everything

tryauuum··on Vulnerability reports are not special anymore
That's a real issue, took cloudflare down once...
tryauuum··on Volkswagen started blocking GrapheneOS users
They are willing to break some cloudflare-fronted websites. That's already a reality in Russia.

The government (any government) hates its citizens and the freedoms it had to allow them

tryauuum··on Volkswagen started blocking GrapheneOS users
Are you taking from the experience that this is not blockeable in Russia?

EDIT: I might be confusing vless/xray/reality but seems like there are no problems to block it based on ip reputation + tls fingerprint + amount of connections https://habr.com/ru/articles/1044396/

Of course this would block some valid websites but when has government cared about that

tryauuum··on Volkswagen started blocking GrapheneOS users
Like in Russia

    - drop wireguard / OpenVPN packets crossing the country border
    - analyze https traffic to detect traffic patterns not matching https fully and block such connections

I don't think people actually care about a sincere answer to "how are you doing", so replying with the prebaked line makes sense

> Nvidia that gives absolutely zero fucks about people that aren’t their enterprise customers buying GPUs by the thousands.

for the context, nvidia gives zero fucks about people who are buying their GPUs by thousands as well.

tryauuum··on Declining America
Not shot on sight but e.g. "being declined entry because you refused to unlock your smartphone to the customs officer". And then you have to fly back over the ocean.

America isn't special here, I guess every country treats non-citizens worse than citizens. But at least the trip back is usually shorter

tryauuum··on Mozilla to UK regulators: VPNs are essential privacy and security tools
"privacy tools" doesn't sound strong enough. "tools to bypass censorship of the future fascist government" sound better, though longer

I always remember a video snippet of some meeting in US, some chinese looking woman says something like "Mao took our guns and killed us all, I'm never giving up my rifle". Some politician reminds her that they live in the democracy. She asks him something like "can you guarantee me that in 20 years it will still be a democracy", which he admits he can't

found the video https://www.reddit.com/r/GunMemes/comments/1c13kkz/survivor_...

tryauuum··on Finland: Failures to deliver public warnings (Finnish)
I'm thinking now, is there even a point of notifying everyone during a drone alert? With current amount of drones entering Finland, you are more likely to die in a car accident when you leave your house than to be killed by a drone

I guess it's better to know than to not know (citation needed).

tryauuum··on Linux gaming is faster because Windows APIs are becoming Linux kernel features
both are shit

I used a recent nvidia blackwell GPU with linux, periodic crashes. Blackwell generation is shit.

Used recent builtin AMD GPU... Even worse, super reproduceable X crashes when using firefox

tryauuum··on Why are neural networks and cryptographic ciphers so similar? (2025)
Can anyone recommend any good content to learn cryptography? Like, even if I read the algorithm for AES I have zero understanding about why it works this way

I've finished the Cryptography I on Coursera already. Can't recommend it enough

tryauuum··on Russia Poisons Wikipedia
Thank you for the context

I personally would prefer "Reichskommissariat Norwegen" and "Estonian SSR" right on the person's page in wikipedia. Then I don't have to navigate to another page to learn who was in power that time.

tryauuum··on Why IPv6 is so complicated
I think they are not afraid, they just see 0 reasons to

without IPv6: everything works already, your customers can access any website

with IPv6: ...what are the benifits to them? they still have to provide IPv4 to customers or do some ipv6 to ipv4 translation to make sure ipv4 websites still work

(I've never worked at an ISP so my opinion might be useless)

tryauuum··on Russia Poisons Wikipedia
the "other countries recognition" is a valid point which I missed

Still, it kind of feels weird if (I assume) for 40 years everyone had "Estonian SSR" stamped in their birth certificates / passports, and then we say "actually they were born in Republic of Estonia (occupied)"

tryauuum··on Russia Poisons Wikipedia
Not change to "Russia", change to "Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic"

If some force occupies and renames your country for 40+ years, seems fair to use that name in wikipedia when talking about this period

I understand invading countries is not cool, but you cannot fix crimes of USSR by retroactively renaming places

tryauuum··on Russia Poisons Wikipedia
BTW, the page about the 2022 Russia-Ukraine war in russian wikipedia was surprisingly good. No "special military operation" crap

tryauuum··on A disabled kea parrot is the alpha male of his circus
> circus (the collective noun for a group of kea)

Seems like a useless feature of the language. What's the point of using a unique name per bird group? To signal your bird obsession level?

tryauuum··on A communist Apple II and fourteen years of not knowing what you're testing
> Marxist socialists propagate an idea that they have no idea how to accomplish?

I have no idea

> someone would tell me this in defense of Marxist socialism

If you talk about me, then I don't defend it. I defend proper word usage. Same thing with people calling everything "fascism" nowadays. Words have meanings!

tryauuum··on A communist Apple II and fourteen years of not knowing what you're testing
Is not a "no true Scotsman" situation.

USSR itself did acknowledge that whatever they have is not communism. Because they knew the definition, they knew that it's a utopian society which, as you mentioned, doesn't use money

The rest of the world had to name this regime somehow. Since there was only one party, the communist party, the west named the regime "communism".

Now we have a word with different meanings, depending to whom you speak. Certainly makes discussions between ex-ussr people and americans hard. I remember how my school teacher got irritated when we asked her "how was the life under communism". "We never lived under it, we lived under socialism" she said

To sum up, this is not a "no true Scotsman" situation, since the observing part of the world decided to extend the meaning

tryauuum··on Tell HN: Docker pull fails in Spain due to football Cloudflare block
can you rephrase your idea please. What's realistic, fighting stupid laws or corporations with a VPN? Yes, but not for long. They are always stronger than you, they can switch from blacklisting to whitelisting and your VPN becomes useless.

What is this "sweet position" you talk about?

tryauuum··on Tell HN: Docker pull fails in Spain due to football Cloudflare block
In my country (Russia) the politics followed, now the ISPs block the OpenVPN and wireguard packets. And sometimes the white list mode is enabled, so you cannot connect, with your clever custom VPN solution, to a host outside the country
