Nah. The natural pivot is from “we have never observed abiogenesis” to “see? Life required a creator.”

You can’t win

They terminate TLS. It seems like you wouldn’t want to use this service even if all those questions were answered to your satisfaction.

Not disagreeing, just elaborating, about “fine” Chinese Amazon tools.

I needed safety wire pliers to assemble some brake rotors. The metal in the ones I got on Amazon was softer than the metal wire they came with such that the cutting edges got little wire-sized dents in them and increasingly useless the farther I got along in the job.

Returned those afterward. Junk.

But there’s other stuff I’ve gotten from RANDOMLETTERS Amazon that’s actually holding up “ok.”

Also, Harbor Freight is a better source of ok/fine tools where you don’t need quotes around those words.

Yup. +1 for fossil. I wanted an issue tracker that wasn’t text files in the repo. Lots of git-based things that were heavier (gitea and friends) or hackier than I wanted. Decided to finally try out fossil and I think it’s really really neat.

So cut those people. They will continue to be a problem. Can’t fire them because of the rights of federal employees? Get the law changed.

Actually solve an actual problem, not wave a machete around cutting the government in half.

Subsonic and airsonic (the latter is a fork of the former).

Exactly. “Unsolvable” is a strong word, but … how wrong is it? Shrug.

Before clicking the link or seeing the domain, I was expecting either a rehashed (or if I was optimistic: a novel) argument for why what LE does isn’t actually validating domains. Philosophically or technically. For example: they don’t validate you’re going to the domain you intend on visiting. And 500 words on why that makes them useless. (I don’t agree, but that’s what I was expecting)

My comment is strictly about exit nodes which are not used as part of connecting to onion services.

Ignoring TLS errors might mean you’re ignoring the fact your exit relay is MitM attacking you.

The job these days is boring but secure. Tor stuff was more exciting, then I switched teams because grass-is-greener.

At least for the teams I have been on and my view of leadership, there is very little political talk.

But patriotism isn’t politics… lol. The higher you get the more “hoo rah America!” is a part of the motivational speech or report or whatever. Down here in the streets it’s just another job. Pride in the country isn’t much of a driver. At least for me.

Yes timing attacks.

And yeah mitigation gets you into a huge body of research that’s inconclusive on practical usability. Eg so much overhead that it’s too slow and 10 people can use a 1000 relay network and still get just 1 Mbps goodput each. Contrived example.

People need to actually be able to use the network, and the more people the better for the individual.

There’s minor things tor does, but more should somehow be done. Somehow…

Clients aren’t necessarily good relays. Reachability. Bandwidth. Uptime. I’ll-go-to-prison-if-caught-and-idk-how-to-change-settings-this-needs-to-just-work.
