umami_wasbi,

PoW? The client need to do some computation before the server takes the like signup or signin or something. Not 100% foolproof but can thwart some bot attempts I guess.

umami_wasbi,

I don’t get it. If Google really cares about ad revenue, why not just slap a DRM to each and every videos? They can protect their interests, and DMCA anyone who dares to circumvent it. Even a low effort DRM will do.

UK flooded with forged stamps despite using barcodes — to prevent just that (www.bleepingcomputer.com)

If a stamp have a barcode, why not just let people who have printers at home to print it on the envelope directly? This eliminates the need to buy physical stamp, thus the probability of buying counterfeit stamps.

umami_wasbi,

Yeah. I never notice I can send letters online until now.

However, can it be dropped to post box like regular mail with stamps, or I need to go to a service counter to have it mailed?

umami_wasbi,

Isn’t Post Office just a convenience store? I thought the Horizon scandal is to the Royal Mail, which is responsible for stamp printing and mail processing.

umami_wasbi,

Can I drop it in post box instead? There is a post box nearby, not Post Office. Otherwise I will need to arrange a collection.

umami_wasbi, (edited )

I believe counterfeit stamps is always a problem but never been discussed publicly, though I can’t deny the barcode could be used for other purposes like tracking internally.

And you’re right at counterfeiting 1 dollar bills analogy. People can just print and mail it at a lower than what real stamp cost, sell it to unsuspicious people and earn the difference.

umami_wasbi,

You might be right. I spent a little time to gone through a few online shops, including Chinese, and couldn’t find one that I can tell it’s clearly counterfeit. Unless I bought it and Royal Mail have something for me to verify its authenticity.

umami_wasbi,

This is way nicer than barcodes. Just a pen will do.

umami_wasbi,

You can wait for the postman to collect your mail, or leave it at “secure location” for the postman to pickup.

umami_wasbi,

Isn’t tailscale serve only do tcp?

umami_wasbi,

Does that require my friends install & configure Tailscale/WG/OpenVPN? I tried that route like 2~3 yrs ago with OpenVPN and it doesn’t works well.

I would like to keep it as simple and easy as it can be. Aka no need extra software and config. Just fireup the game, connect, and play, as if the server is hosted on some VPS.

umami_wasbi,

For non tech savy people, is ZeroTier easier to config than Tailscale? I tried Tailscale and everyone needs a account before start playing, which can be a fraction.

How to explain learnings from Digital privacy in an interview and resume

I wish to mention learnings from the coupious time i spend on learning online privacy ,security and anonymity for my b school (MBA) admissions interview. Can I market is as a cybersecurity internship. But Cyber security has a different meaning altogether. I’m pretty much at the advance stage of the privacy journey( read all...

umami_wasbi,

I don’t know what “privacy” you know but I can you a reference of what cybersecurity I know. I had a Cybersecurity course and it’s more focused on compliances to standards like ISO 27001/PCI-DSS, regulations like CCPA/GDPR, risk assessment/management, BC/DR, and more. Cybersecurity have a broader meaning to me and essentially a safety net to make sure plans are in place and not let the business down from normal operation.

umami_wasbi,

Using the phone payment is a convenient to me as I don’t have to remember the PIN.

umami_wasbi, (edited )

As much as I want to use it, CJK support is still missing in most OSS keyboard.

umami_wasbi,

I mean, why not use a seedbox?

umami_wasbi,

You don’t need to fiddle with VPN, have a machine up all day that don’t cost you electricity, usually more bandwidth, and potentially downsize your home internet plan.

Drawbacks include more limited storage, paid extra, and the need to download to local.

Just to note that seedbox only works if you just view the material for a few times, not hoarding. IMHO as long as you maintain a share ratio of 2 or above you’re good to delete the file after you done with it, unless you’re on PT.

umami_wasbi,

And I forgot: keep you being DMCA’d by your ISP because your VPN drops momentarily.

umami_wasbi,

Can anyone speak of the software quality and support of Motorola? Also the support of custom ROM after the official support/updates ended.

umami_wasbi,

Still unable to compete with my Garmin Fenix nor Seiko Astron.

umami_wasbi,

I use Tasker to filter out notifications

umami_wasbi,

Does that applies to accounts registered in the US but now I’m not physically lived in?
