I'm curious what you think the solution is?

Taking a photograph of a car with its license plate is legal. As is selling a photo you've taken, whether it has a license plate or not.

Therefore taking millions of photos in public of cars, and turning their license plate numbers into a database is legal, as is selling that information. It's all data gained in public.

Obviously it's now scary that you're being tracked. But what is the solution? We certainly don't want to outlaw taking photos in public. Is it the mass aggregation of already-public data that should be made illegal? What adverse consequences might that have, e.g. journalists compiling public data to prove governmental corruption?

It should be illegal for the government to do so, further make it illegal for businesses to do so AND for city, county, state, federal governments to utilize third party databases.

Agreed. A lot of these articles leave me with more questions than answers.

These blog posts really annoy me because I feel like with 20% more effort you could have something worth reading.

I wonder if anyone will actually write their own article/blog providing a much better explanation of the subject matter. Or at least provide links to those articles that are alternatives to this.

Will DHS and ICE consider them valid proof of citizenship? I’d really like that confirmed.

Is this an open source equivalent to google’s NotebookLM? I can tell. How does it stack up features wise?

Sure if only the IDF would stop bombing them more during the cease fire.

Apparently IMDb, an Amazon service is impacted. LOL, no multi region failover.

I mean just an example. He obviously wasn't the most ethical person. Depends how you do it

Neither are Stalin, Netanyahu, Pol Pot, Hitler, Charles Manson et al.

Way to derail the conversation. Focus on the positive people and their legacy of time, sharing, positive energy and contributions to society

IOT_Apprentice commented on SSH3: Faster and rich secure shell using HTTP/3   github.com/francoismichel... · Posted by u/tempaccount420

That makes even less sense, unless we are talking about XMODEM every protocol uses windowing to avoid getting stuck waiting for ACKs.

Of course you need to wait for ACKs at some point though, otherwise they would be useless. That's how we detect, and potentially recover from, broken links. They are a feature. And HTTP3 has that feature.

Is it better implemented than the various TCP algorithms we use underneath regular SSH? Perhaps. That remains to be seen. The use case of SSH (long lived connections with shorter lived channels) is vastly different from the short lived bursts of many connections that QUIC was intented for. My best guess is that it could go both ways, depending on the actual implementation. The devil is in the details, and there are many details here.

Should you find yourself limited by the default buffering of SSH (10+Gbit intercontinental links), that's called "long fat links" in network lingo, and is not what TCP was built for. Look at pages like this Linux Tuning for High Latency networks: https://fasterdata.es.net/host-tuning/linux/

There is also the HPN-SSH project which increases the buffers of SSH even more than what is standard. It is seldom needed anymore since both Linux and OpenSSH has improved, but can still be useful.

Well, you could peruse the code. Then see what it does and explain it.

When companies like Google talk about a device being "secure", they don't mean secure from malicious third parties, they mean secure from the user. The device is considered "secure" if the user cannot do anything with it that Google does not approve of.

And yet computing power is what we need to advance technologicaly. Unstoppable force that indeed asks for solutions to new problems. Better acknowledge them then to fight them.

Do you want one in your city? Taking water and power from your power infrastructure? I don’t, and thankfully our city government rejected an Amazon proposal to do that.
