Linux is still not ready to replace Windows
  • Well, there is always a curve for learning a new UI, even if similarly structured.
    But then you could never escape Windows, because most users are trained for that UI and have certain expectations for it.
    The Step from Win7 to Win10 maybe would be similar, lots of things changed. (even though we know Win10 had alot of Win7 things under the hood)

  • what if the hacker provided the public key for https connection?
  • Indeed, not classically, but there are HSTS preload lists you can put your domain into which will be downloaded by supported browsers.
    And via HSTS you can include all your subdomains, which would then force proper TLS connections for those you havent visited before too.

    With the new TLS1.3 version we are getting the HTTPS / "SVCB" Record which not only allows ECH but also indicates to the client similar protection policies like HSTS. (RFC 9460)
    ECH will then make such attacks impossible on TLS-level, assuming DNSSEC is used and client can make an integrity-checked lookup e.g. via DoH/DoT or validating DnsSec themselves.
    The strength of this depends on the security-chain you want to follow of course. You dont need DNSSEC, but then the only integrity-check is between DNS-Service and Client if they use DoH/DoT (which is usually enough to defeat local attackers)

  • Transportation mode, World vs USA
  • I mean the Netherlands arent thaat big to make a super big impact on that graph, so the comparison still stands.
    But the graphic is not telling us which other "non-US" Cities are included to know how diverse the data used is.

  • Why Germany ditched nuclear before coal—and why it won’t go back
  • And that hole would of course not deform at all or release the products into the environment over some amount of time?
    We already have that problem.. They tried more or less simply burying it in Asse, which spectacularly failed and now has to be brought back up.. paid by the government (so us) of course

  • Why Germany ditched nuclear before coal—and why it won’t go back
  • But the horse still has a broken leg (End-Storage) and noone really knows how to fix that at the moment. Maybe give the horse some drugs to make the leg stronger (Transmutate the materials from long to moderately-long half-lifes), but we still need to support it in the end.

    The move to coal was absolutely stupid, the CDU (which is currently gaining some traction.. again), dialed back on renewables which should have replaced some of the capacities lost to nucelar.. and then decided a new coal plant was a great idea too.
    Probably some corruption.. sorry "Lobbying"-work behind that.. its not like the Experts (which were paid pretty well) told them that was a bad idea..

    Maybe some more modern nucelar plants might work.. but its unprofitable (probably always was, considering the hidden costs on the tax payers already), so needs to be heavily state-funded, same with storage (plus getting all the stuff out of the butchered storage Asse, putting it somewhere else)
    I am open to it, but dont see it happening. And storage.. no hopeful thoughts about that either, i dont think the current politic structures are well suited to oversee something like that from what we have seen from other storage-locations that are or were in use.

    I'd also love some more plans for big energy storage aswell as new subsidies for the energy grid and renewables. The famous german bureaucracy is obviously also not helping any of this.

  • Discord Shuts Down ‘Spy Pet’ Bots That Scraped, Sold User Messages
  • Yeah and discord is allowing it. Thats all i am saying.
    Of course Restorecord is doing it on purpose. There are some valid reasons, but maybe Discord shouldt allow untrusted bot-developers like them to do so.

  • Discord Shuts Down ‘Spy Pet’ Bots That Scraped, Sold User Messages
  • afaik thats rather about the parallel service someone had selling the data for a subscription and getting that data from restorecord's database.
    In the video it is already suspected restorecord is in on it, and the update comment proves it.

    The problem with restorecord getting that data in the first place persists. I am not aware if Discord is tackling that issue at all e.g. making it against EULA and banning those bots.

  • Discord Shuts Down ‘Spy Pet’ Bots That Scraped, Sold User Messages
  • Discord bots were able to get a users IP via the verification system afaik.
    And there are of course other ways to force users to do so. Its more interesting Discord themselves didnt care about these methods to ban such bots.. well its Discord, not that surprising when i think about it.
