  • Most of the people who get blocked are going to be tech savvy. Except maybe someone computer illiterate at a Uni

  • Barcelona is turning subway trains into power stations

  • Have you ever been in a train and the lights went out? If not, watch some movies with the NYC subway (eg Joker). Its not just a theatrical effect, this is normal on trains.

    Modern trains have batteries to keep accessories like lights and AC running when the train temporarily looses its connection to the third rail

  • I wish more companies understood that Onion Services have excellent protection from DoS attacks.

    You don't even have to give away your keys to CloudFlare. Just get trigger happy with IP blocking and tell users to use the Onion address to bypass any blocks.

  • What do you think PoW was created for. This is exactly the use case of PoW -- to reduce malicious traffic. It works great!

    I am a victim of a data breach, what do I do?

  • Change your keys and share less going forward.

  • First hand experience with TSA biometric collection in airport

    Jump

  • From their perspective, yes.

    Edit: sorry, yes, CPB does have drug dogs too, but not TSA

  • The whole idea is to be able to build a secure, distributed cloud. The whole network depends on secure enclaves.

  • I think they do collect facial recognition data on passports, yes. And State IDs.

    Not from the identity document directly, but from the digitized photo that you submitted when you asked to create the document

  • Nah, this is the TSA. Its for explosives. I don't think they train dogs for both.

    Customs may have dogs trained for sniffing for fruit, though.

  • Last time I denied a photo from CBP, the agent at the desk told me they're using the cameras above for facial recognition.

    He could a been lying or wrong, but -- even if its illegal -- I wouldn't be surprised if they or some other 3 letter org is doing this.

    The NSA was hacking into Yahoo Video and corporate CCTV camera feeds to train their facial recognition systems, what, 10 years ago?

  • You realize that a "biometric face scan" is just a photo from a narrowly defined angle, right? So what Japan is doing is taking a biometric photo, even if they don't use that language.

  • Tor and Tails Merge to Fight Global Surveillance and Censorship

    Jump

  • Yes. In order to launder your dirty traffic, you need to mix it with lots of other traffic. And you need it to be safe to avoid attribution.

    The US military (and various 3-letter agencies) needs the service to be secure, provide strong anonymity, and to include a sea of traffic thats mostly not their own

  • Is Pine64 dead?

  • Oh yeah, I'm not referring to drivers. I'm thinking of things like PureOS

  • Nope. That's why we have cryptography. Read about TC

  • Not at all, if you understand why they created it and how they use it
