a surprisingly disappointing article from ars, i expect better from them.

the author appears to be confusing “relay attacks” with “cloning” and doesn’t really explain the flow of the attach that well.

really this just sounds like a complicated MitM attack, using the victim’s phone as the “middle” component between the victim’s physical card and the attacker’s rooted phone.

the whole “cloning the UID attack” at the end of the article is irrelevant, NFC payment cards don’t work like that.

start with basics:

• install iperf on every device you can between an external device and your internal host(s) and use it to find any bottlenecks
• use tools like tcpdump to analyze packets flowing over the network. you can often find surprising results this way
• start with a simple test best (again, iperf) with the most simple config (no nginx etc) and add the complexity of your config bit by bit until the issue returns

if this is your first time doing a big trip together, honestly, forget about it being prefect. it won’t be, and that’s ok. trips don’t need to be perfect to be meaningful, in fact, i’ve found the opposite to be true. the more wild and unexpected the adventure is, the more memorable and important it becomes to me.

so I’d say it’s best to keep an idea of things you’d like to see or do, but also be flexible and willing to adapt. traveling with someone that forces everyone to stick to a rigid itinerary is never fun and is a good way to ruin the trip. all it takes is one lost bag or one missed train to throw all your careful planning out the window. better to roll with the punches than self destruct when that happens.

this kinda shit makes me understand the sovcit stuff a little more, “just send an email with this magic subject text and your rights are secured!”

TLS doesn’t encrypt the host name of the urls you are visiting and DNS traffic is insanely easy to sniff even if you aren’t using your ISPs service.

the hostname of a website is explicitly not encrypted when using TLS. the Encrypted Client Hello extension fixes this but requires DNS over HTTPS and is still relatively new.

open source software getting backdoored by nefarious committers is not an indictment on closed source software in any way. this was discovered by a microsoft employee due to its effect on cpu usage and its introduction of faults in valgrind, neither of which required the source to discover.

the only thing this proves is that you should never fully trust any external dependencies.

“every situation you’re involved in is 10X more escalated than it needs to be because a gun is involved at all”

absolutely delusional, please explain how a vulnerable individual concealed carrying is escalating anything.

jfc what an absolute hellhole of a police state you’ve dreamt up. so many of your hairbrained ideas amount to “cops should have unlimited access to your private life”. how exactly do you think this would play out given the US and it’s systemic racism and classism?

yeah silly me for supporting artists with my money but also downloading drm-free copies of things so I can actually exercise a semblance of ownership. but sure, keelhaul me so you can keep your sense of smug superiority.

AI is a tool that is fundamentally based on the concept of theft and plagiarism. The LLM training data comes from artists and creators that did not consent to their work being plagiarized by a hallucinating machine.

yes, and where does the Gun Violence Archive get their numbers?

looking at their site, the answer is “themselves”… cool. Looking through their listed data it clearly includes gun violence from gang activity.

yes I know, I mentioned that in my comment. can you tell me where on that page it indicates their source of data?

your source links to this source of data, which only goes up to 2021. The table clearly states they’re counting 15 - 19 year olds.

that 6,192 number appears to come from the gunviolencearchive site, but I don’t see any source for their data other than claims that “suicide data provided by CDC”

further, a simple search of the claim “guns number one cause of death in children” will find a lot of valid critiques of this claim.

this is false, this stat deliberately counts 18 and 19 year olds as “children” and purposefully includes gang related violence. great example of using statistics to sell a story.

how many gang members are going to surrender their firearms after a ban?

it literally explains what they’re for in the product listing:

These labels aid your warehouse operations.

• Categorize inventory, reorder points, product dating or special instructions.

• Apply these labels to pallets, boxes and shelves for easy identification.

• Easy to write on.

could be this?

a decentralized community that correctly prioritizes security would absolutely be using signed commits and other web-of-trust security practices to prevent this sort of problem
