Yeah, like the shares being transfered under duress. It's not like that can't be undone. The only thing this would achieve is a bunch of prison time and possibly destruction if data.

Not to mention that modern-day IT systems are such a mess that you'd need a crazy amount if time to find and access them all.

This seems awfully complicated. A lot of applications will happily respect system proxy settings and connect to mitmproxy directly.

Content gating behind login screens. Scraping content behind a login screen could constitute a contract violation and would give rise to a lawsuit independent of copyright.

AFAIK it's not enough to write it in your privacy policy. Art 21 of the GDPR makes this explicit:

> (4) At the latest at the time of the first communication with the data subject, the right referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be explicitly brought to the attention of the data subject and shall be presented clearly and separately from any other information.

I am not a lawyer, but as far as I can tell, there is no legal way to collect PII (including IP address) or place tracking identifiers on the user's device without at least informing the user explicitly under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive.

After reading the specs, this sounds like an awful lot of complexity for something that should be simple and low cost. The spec also seems to be very loosely defined, more like a recommendation than a spec. This means you'll likely have to integrate a library and that library will be the authoritative source of truth as far as the expected behavior is concerned.

Legitimate interest still requires the data subject to be informed under Art 13. Not sure how that would be accomplished without at least an info banner. (This goes for server logs too.)

I'd say unlikely, games do a lot of work within graphics cards that are not as easily dumpable/restorable as memory.

Unreal Engine and Steam Audio may be worth looking into before you invest significant amounts of time into this.

Name recognition? You know exactly what you get, which isn't necessarily true for the bajilion clones out there. You know that if you buy an rPi, you can buy a replacement tomorrow and it will work the same. In a world where I can't even rebuy a laptop of the same make and model a few months later that's quite the advantage.

There are very legit reasons to use passwords, for example in conjunction with a second factor. Authentication methods can also be chained.

As far as OpenSSH is concerned, I believe the main problem is that there is no centralized revocation functionality. You have to distribute your revocation lists via an external mechanism and ensure that all your servers are up to date. There is no built-in mechanism like OCSP, or better yet, OCSP stapling in SSH. You could use Kerberos, but it's a royal pain to set up and OpenSSH is pretty much the defacto standard when it comes to SSH servers.

Not necessarily. There is a fork of OpenSSH that supports x509, but I remember reading somewhere that it's too complex and that's why it doesn't make it into mainline.

As I said, "should". In some places there will be enough people in the chain that won't be bothered to go to the LIR directly. Think small rural ISPs in small countries.

The provider doesn't care, the owner of the server who needs to log in from their home internet at 2AM in an emergency cares. Bad actors have access to botnets, the server admin doesn't.
