Which claims do you think are poorly supported? I'm the author; I tried to include everything other people need to repeat the same experiments. I've even had two people write in directly to me, stating that they have…
The posting is from Feb 2022, nearly 2 years ago. How is this suddenly trending on Hacker News?
Me: "ChatGPT write me an ultimatum letter forcing the board to resign and reinstate the CEO, and have it signed by 500 of the employees." ChatGPT: Done!

I can understand zip, 7z, and tar. But RAR? My only experience with RAR files comes from malware and warez (illegally distributed software, often compromised). Perhaps my own experience is just biased.
Triboluminescence? Could it be the quake breaking light-emitting crystals?
Still down after 15 hours? Sounds like one of: (A) Ransomware or DDoS. (B) Unexpected single point of failure (like a critical piece of hardware) and they need to rush-order a replacement. (C) They can't identify the…
Sounds similar to a SLAPP: Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation The goal is to burden the recipient with overhead costs that it becomes impractical or cost-prohibitive to participate.
A poor workman blames his tools.

I have been so incredibly impressed by System76. Professional, easy to work with, open source, and great quality. I used to run a Dell-only shop, but my last few systems have been System76. (Oh, and they don't spam you…
I was going to say the same thing. Even if you have SPF and DKIM working correctly, they will block your email to outlook, hotmail, and other services unless you fill out their form. If you fill out the form, then you…
This sounds like the same argument used when sites went after PirateBay for hosting pointers to content, even though they never hosted the content itself.
I'm expecting one of the following: (A) A sudden last minute huge influx of "No" votes. Either caused by bots or by Musk putting his finger on the scale. (Yes, I think this voting will be rigged.) (B) He already has…
> Tor never claimed that it can hide if somebody is using tor. Not true. Pluggable transports are explicitly intended to prevent someone from seeing that you are connecting to Tor. This is because someone seeing you…
I had a similar experience with PayPal. Fortunately, I had created a separate bank account specifically for use with PayPal. After they blocked my account (for the heinous crime of having the word "Hacker" in my company…
There are a lot of better-than-JPEG and better-than-PNG solutions out there. Speed: If the benchmarks are correct, then this is exceptional, especially considering that the file size is only slightly larger than PNG. I…
All perceptual hashes, including AI-based perceptual hashes, have a "projection" property. If you have the hashes, you can project them into some kind of image. Some hashes result in blurry blobs (pHash, wavelet…
Apple's recent CSAM announcement does not use PhotoDNA. Apple is not using PhotoDNA's hashes. Apple is using a different system called NeuralHash. NCMEC operates like a roach hotel: CSAM goes in, and it only goes out to…
> I'm surprised, and honestly disappointed, that the author seems to still play nice, instead of releasing the whitepaper. I'm the author. I've worked with different parts of NCMEC for years. (I built the initial…
First: If you're going to do that, then why bother with Tor? Just get a couple of private cloud boxes and make your own VPN. (You'll be just as secure. Which isn't as secure as Tor, but it's better than nothing.)…
Running your own guard is stupid unless you open it for the world to use. If you're the only person using the guard, then the guard offers you zero anonymity. And if lots of people use your guard, then make sure it…
I don't know this attacker's reason. I only see the attack. But I can offer some baseless suspicions: I'm forwarding traffic from Tor to the Internet Archive. During the last French election, someone DoS'ed most of…
Fixed.
