If you work at Amazon, Google or Microsoft, the NTP Pool project could do with some sponsorship. Its core DNS infra is partially run by volunteers and one of them recently breached trust to meddle with DNS serving. The project would like to not have to rely on volunteers for this.

DNS configuration tampering on one of our GeoDNS servers

I think you identified the root of the problem: our DNS servers are quite hardened but there are some attack vectors that we just can’t stop if the attacker has control of the machine/VM. That being said, we currently lack the funding to rent all of our own infrastructure. geodns is fairly lightweight but I estimate that it would still represent around $5K-$10K per year in hosting, just for the DNS. If anyone has established contacts at AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, having a sponsorship from th...

Ihr wisst schon, dass die FDP nur endgültig in der Bedeutungslosigkeit verschwindet, wenn sich niemand für sie interessiert? Und jeder "Haha, Kubicki soll FDP-Chef werden, wie lächerlich" Post hilft ihr nur dabei, relevant zu bleiben? Dass diese Posts eingepreister Teil dieser PR-Kampagne sind?

Der Fisch stinkt derzeit vom Kopf in so manchem Bundesministerium. Abwirtschaften oder Herunterwirtschaften nennt man das im Volksmund, und das ist alles andere als gut für Deutschland.

Holy shit this is detailed. Can you believe the hubris to silently collect all this information on users?

The Attack: How it works

Every time you open LinkedIn in a Chrome-based browser, LinkedIn’s JavaScript executes a silent scan of your installed browser extensions. The scan probes for thousands of specific extensions by ID, collects the results, encrypts them, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers. The entire process happens in the background. There is no consent dialog, no notification, no mention of it in LinkedIn’s privacy policy. This page documents exactly how the system works, with line references and code excerpts from LinkedIn’s production JavaScript bundle.

I saw a young person talking about how they just bought 6 vinyls from their favorite artists but that they didn’t have a “vinyl reader” to play them on yet, and I think I felt my face slide off.

Wenn man mal die Tatsache ignoriert, dass es total wahnsinnig ist, seine komplette wirtschaftliche und private Existenz vom Gutdünken einer Firma wie Google abhängig zu machen, sind das die realen Folgen von Ideen wie der Chatkontrolle.

Automatisiert zu entscheiden, dass CSAM vorliegt, wenn Heranwachsende mit den sie selbstverständlich umgebenden technischen Werkzeugen ihre Sexualität erkunden und dann das gesamte Umfeld aus übereifriger Compliance vorsorglich zu bestrafen, kann man dystopischer gar nicht ausmalen.

Just so we're clear -- the law Israel just passed mandating death by hanging for Palestinians is apartheid.

It. Is. Apartheid.

Israel does not punish Israelis who kill Palestinians. Instead, Israel has illegally detained more than 10,000 Palestinians, including 1000 children, without charge or conviction. These are hostages held without access to counsel in concentration camps.

This. Is. Apartheid. Any politician or journalist who cannot acknowledge that is complicit. Period.

Boston Common today. The crowd was enormous. If they say it's 100,000 people, I will not be surprised.
