I’m paying for a VPN service that has a limited number of concurrent devices but I want to use it on all of my devices. Is there a way to self-host a Wireguard VPN on my Linux server that will forward all WAN traffic to my third-party VPN provider? Ideally, I would generate a Wireguard config for this gateway, and all my...
It’s a limitation imposed by Apple, so you won’t find anything that can sync as seamlessly as iCloud. Apps can only sync for up to 60s in the background when receiving a wake-up notification from the server.
Google Pixel has this but in the dark it just defaults to auto rotate mode so I can’t really use my phone in bed vertically… I wish they could let me choose whether it defaults to lock mode or auto mode.
It’s actually pretty difficult still if you’re using secure hashing functions like Argon2 and bcrypt because they’re hard on memory and computational power, meaning brute force attacks are pretty much infeasible, both due to hardware requirements and long hashing times.
Smaller LLMs have huge performance tradeoffs, most notably in their abilities to obey prompts. Bard has billions of parameters, so mobile chips wouldn’t be able to run it.
Nothing can stop 100% of bots. The goal with captchas like Turnstile is to use a significant portion of your resources to the point it’s expensive and slow to perform an attack.
Turnstile runs many background checks on your browser, so headless browsers automatically become futile.
JavaScript PoW challenges are performed that take up multiple seconds of execution time, memory and CPU. This alone is a deterrent because sequential attacks become extremely long to execute.
Concurrent attacks are still unfeasible because Turnstile ups the difficulty if it detects something is up, and receiving requests from thousands of botnet IPs is bound to trip an alarm.
My carrier is eSIM preferred so I decided to try it out. I had a few hiccups with their app but other than that, it’s great. Way more secure since it’s encrypted on the device.
Some services are slowly developing post quantum resistant protocols for their services like Signal or Tutanota. When will this be a thing for the web?
Using a symmetric pre-shared key based VPN can help mitigate this issue. While the actual HTTPS data will still use non-PQR cryptography, Wireguard’s XChaCha20 and OpenVPN’s AES-256-CBC are considered safe against quantum computers since they don’t use asymmetric cryptography.
Of course, you still need to trust the VPN provider.

The system is pretty straightforward: each item, in this case mostly clothing, gets an RFID tag that looks like a normal clothing tag. Customers come into the store, pick out what they want, and walk through an “exit gate” that scans the tags and tallies up the bill.

In the context of VPNs for example. Some VPNs store and provide information about what sites you go to third parties. Third parties analyze it and figure out what adds to show you. Hmm… then let them show me those adds they want to show me. I do hate adds as a whole and use an add blocker, thus. But I couldn’t care less what...
What if you were a woman who had a miscarriage and the trackers got ahold of that information from your search and browsing habits on planned parenthood (which has a LOT of third party trackers and cookies)? Would you like to see ads of what could have been your baby for eternity?
This information could be sold to insurance providers and your premiums could go up since you’re more of a “health risk”.
There are endless avenues where your data could end up and affect your life in the real world.
In the UK you have more to worry about. Encryption is threatened under your government, and that poses a much larger potential for data collection and misuse.

Google datacenters are global. They store petabytes of data in each and are constantly evolving to Google Cloud customer needs and their own, meaning they are always expanding their storage network with new servers and drives.
In addition to the hardware expansion, YouTube engineers are experimenting with ways to encode videos in much more efficient formats, such as AV1. Basically, encoding is how a video is stored. The engineers are trying new standards to retain original video quality in much smaller file sizes, leading to more video storage capacity without the need to upgrade servers as quickly.
I torrent (on the same PC that I run a Plex server from), but also auto connect on my devices whenever I’m on public wifi, so speed and avoiding blocks/captchas is also important. From what I understand having port forwarding will make a big difference in my torrent transfer speeds and ability to connect to peers....
