Please pardon me since I don't know if this is satirical or not. I'd wish if you could clarify it.

Because if this is real, then the world is cooked

if not, then the fact that I think that It might be real but the only reason I believe its a joke is because you are on hackernews so I think that either you are joking or the tech has gotten so convincing that even people on hackernews (which I hold to a fair standard) are getting scammed.

I have a lot of questions if true and I am sorry for your loss if that's true and this isn't satire but I'd love it if you could tell me if its a satirical joke or not.

I guess it was something like [0] The Nigerian prince is now a deep fake Elon but the concept is the same. You need to send some money to get way more back.

For anyone interested in this author’s book on Tor, it’s available for free download! https://direct.mit.edu/books/oa-monograph/5761/TorFrom-the-D... (full disclosure: i work for MIT Press)

You can also buy it if you want to support the autor. https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262548182/tor/

> All tor browsers instances have the same default window size, which prevents websites from tracking you.

Wouldn't that in and of itself be a possible clue that someone was using Tor?

bauruine · 21 days ago

The list of Tor nodes is public so it's trivial to detect a user is using Tor you just have to check the IP.

Yeah I know some Finnish. I learned it mostly from hearing Linus Torvalds swear in Finnish.

perkeleen vittupää! I need to use this the next time our junior wants to merge something copy pasted from an LLM that not only breaks something but doesn't even do what it's suposed to do.

bauruine commented on QUIC for the kernel lwn.net/Articles/1029851/... · Posted by u/Bogdanp

Bender · a month ago

I don't know about using it in the kernel but I would love to see OpenSSH support QUIC so that I get some of the benefits of Mosh [1] while still having all the features of OpenSSH including SFTP, SOCKS, port forwarding, less state table and keep alive issues, roaming support, etc... Could OpenSSH leverage the kernel support?

OpenSSH is an OpenBSD project therefore I guess a Linux api isn't that interesting but I could be wrong ofc.

This reads to me like a comment that skipped a bunch of context that would add value for the non-initiated (like me).

If I'm wrong I apologise for reading too much into it but if I'm right please add context.

Jia Tan was the alias of someone that added a backdoor to xz that could be used to allow remote code execution on OpenSSH servers using the backdoored xz version.

Thank you for the correction, I did get that wrong. To be clear, there was no easy solution to get reliable, low latency DNS responses from my own resolver without breaking keepalive by forcibly caching entries longer?

bauruine · a month ago

Not that I know of except from having a big cache and many users that keeps it warm. As I said you could run a local root zone but that only saves you the one time lookup every week+ of the tld name servers and the root servers are generally very close to you. There is a map of all root servers. There are 12 in .nz alone. A few cc tlds are providing their zone via axfr [1] so you could add that to your resolver to save some roundtrips but I don't think having .ch or .se locally will make a big difference and they are 1.2GB each and you would need to download them daily.

Not a hardware issue, but a physics problem. I live in NZ. I guess the root servers are all in the US, so that's 130ms per trip minimum.

bauruine · a month ago

The root servers aren't the problem. They are heavily anycasted and i'm sure there are many in .nz. If that was the issue you could simply serve the root zone yourself, at least some of them allow axfr. [0] This info is also easy cacheable, they have big TTLs and you only have to do it once for each tld. The authoritative name server of the domain you want to access on the other hand are often just in the US or Europe and are the main issue.

Good writeup.

> It’s worth noting that DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS) traffic remained relatively stable as most DoH users use the domain cloudflare-dns.com, configured manually or through their browser, to access the public DNS resolver, rather than by IP address.

Interesting, I was affected by this yesterday. My router (supposedly) had Cloudflare DoH enabled but nothing would resolve. Changing the DNS server to 8.8.8.8 fixed the issues.

bauruine · a month ago

How does DoH work? Somehow you need to know the IP of cloudflare-dns.com first. Maybe your router uses 1.1.1.1 for this.
