Readit NewsMartijnBraam commented on DDoS Botnet Aisuru Blankets US ISPs in Record DDoS krebsonsecurity.com/2025/... · Posted by u/JumpCrisscross
I'm honestly kinda curious why nobody's blocking these IPs from sending data near the source.
Like, I can come up with plenty of possible reasons, and reasons why it could potentially be very bad if ISPs started cracking down on this, but I don't actually know any reasons.
Are any talking about why / why not? It seems like this whole insecure-IoT-device thing would probably dry up pretty quickly if people's internet was cut off when one was detected. They can then turn around and lambast / sue / etc the company that sold it, putting pressure on the source of the problem. Right now there's no reason for sellers to do anything at all to ensure security, afaict.
So... not actually arguing in favor of it, but definitely curious about any stated ISP / core networking system's stated reasons.
This does happen, but it seems to depend on the ISP. In the Netherlands I've seen ISPs block the internet connectivity when they've detected infected devices, sometimes they send a letter before blocking and some ISPs seem to dump your internet connection in a captive portal. In all these cases it's been enough to call the ISP after finding the problem and you're connected again minutes later.
They've been saying this for years now.
The problem is there's no real alternative.
Your grandma is not going to use Linux. So the choice is between windows and mac.. and the truth is a lot of apps people use are windows only.
I don't see windows losing desktop share anytime soon.
I'll have you know my grandma was using Linux just fine... was certainly a lot easier than windows changing random UI elements every time.

I always bring my telephoto lens. Since moving to a full frame camera I'm using a 70-300 most of the time and I rarely want a wider lens, more often I wish I brought my 600mm instead.
I also brought a 85mm prime which has been a lot of fun, while at the same time I've been lugging around a 35mm prime and barely used it.

I suspect some of it will be because the legacy form is a bit more intuitive than the standard form. You don’t really use continents and cities as a reference to time zones normally, countries and local subdivisions makes more sense, but as other people note, it brings up POLITICS.
You don't use them normally in the US, I've been referring to europe/amsterdam or europe/paris all my life in Linux installers and various equipment. I've never ever encountered netherlands/amsterdam or something like that.

Magic lantern is amazing. I'm still hoping a project grows for the other camera brands since I only have Nikon and Panasonic cameras.

RPi-Pico2 uses the RP2350 which has two cores, one is a RISC-V core, and its source code was released on GitHub.
Both cores are actually ARM cores, but you can switch both cores to be RISC-V cores as well on boot.
MartijnBraam commented on Don't pick weird subnets for embedded networks, use VRFs blog.brixit.nl/dont-pick-... · Posted by u/LorenDB
The real official answer is to register/allocate a new subnet, with no intention of putting it into the global routing tables. IPv6 only comes into play because doing that with IPv4 is mostly impractical these days.
The author lost me when they got into raw iproute commands. Not because I'm not acquainted (I run my own custom complex router using a standard Linux distro). But rather if someone knows enough to configure things at this level, then they would just come to this solution on their own. Most people trying to solve this problem will not - eg think that mobile video rack belonging to a touring musician.
Readily-accessible solutions I can come up with off the top of my head:
1. Two off the shelf routers and double NAT. The middle network can be changed if it conflicts with the outer network
2. One router/NAT, but two IP networks on the inner network - one statically assigned for devices to communicate with each other, and one assigned via DHCP for accessing the horizon through NAT. That second network can then easily be changed.
3. Play battleship more strategically using class E address space, DOD/BigCo address space, and/or smaller subnets in the middle of the customary size for a range (eg 192.168.1.160/27).
Allocating a subnet is way further away from reality for most people than configuring one router feature on the router they're using.
There's also a lot of people that configure these devices (or linux routers) themselves but have never heard of VRFs, you got to learn about them somewhere so I just hope this helps some people :)
MartijnBraam commented on Fire hazard of WHY2025 badge due to 18650 Li-Ion cells wiki.why2025.org/Badge/Fi... · Posted by u/fjfaase
I have a smartphone prototype board right next to me which can be powered entirely from a single (protected!) 18650 cell, and let me tell you that its SoC isn't exactly power efficient. It really seems baffling.
I have a bunch of camp badges there too and while some are really fun boards to play with I wouldn't trade safety for longer battery life with any of them.
Hah I also have a smartphone prototype here powered by a single 18650 and I've already seen one of them turn into a smoke machine because the holder has protruding pins and doesn't fit most protected cells...
Two 18650s also sounds like it would be heavy for a badge
Luckily it's usually a tmpfs
