This is mind blowing. A supply chain attack that pivots to another supply chain attack. Crazy.

I’d recommend that people avoid PGP and use modern cryptography. Eg. AGE, It uses far less and simpler code, so it can be audited. PGP is a complicated old mess. https://age-encryption.org&…

Great to see the worsening COVID crisis getting the attention it deserves...

So many people commenting without reading the article. They’re not banning the bread, it just does qualify for a lower tax rate.

Thats the point. PGP isn’t a good standard.
comment
Why? PGP needs to be deprecated in favor of things like AGE and Magic Wormhole. https://github.com/FiloSottile/age …

Find me a technical saas product of tyat scale that doesn’t have support forums that are on fire? Checkout gdrive or iclouds.

Anyone who doesn’t think this has the potential to be a big deal and worth worrying about doesn’t understand numbers. Couching this in some facts about the seasonal flu is all you need to reveal th…

There are services to frawl for you from miltipke ips and user agents, just for situations like this.

Also the argument that Cloudflare is just a network provider is bunk. It works on people who think server less computing doesn't use servers. CF uses servers that store files, for minutes hours, …

They’re building a new tool to complement they base offering. Nothing has changed about that or the way you can use it. You can close this new app and forget it exists. You want rsync and they’re bui…

You really should opt in to try the new client. I have. It’s identical to before unless you want to use the new file browser for search or something else it can remain closed.
comment
Lots of “why don’t you just use rsync” type answers .
comment
No one comment about the actual substance of the change or why they don’t like it. Just lots of emotions ! And the author seems to have left out the most critical thing about this update, the main int…

Complaining that their service is terrible while also complaining that they are trying to generate more money to further invest in that service....riiiighhht!

This comment is classic internet drama.. Is it too much to ask for that people back up their statements with facts? - "They are already a monopoly" False. Youtube is pretty big. And there ar…

A very well known CA company uses these details as a method of verification for EV certs.
comment
Not if you consider speed and CPU consumption.

This sounds fine to me. Ya'll are making sound like they're refuseing to sync because the FS is encryped. The file systems mentioned are really old. You can use newer FS's that are encr…

Are data-only SIM's trackable in the same way as normal SIM's?

Stated with such confidence... Clearly you've never dug into the internals of OpenVPN.

Every single venture backed company in SV since 2000 was built with ad money.

FTFU - Valut service .... You need more than one server, it'll need to have 100% uptime too, backed up and available in multiple regions. No security team want to own this infrastructure.
