A HTTP get request is a few hundred bytes. The response is 28KB. Thats 280x. If a large botnet wanted to denial of service an Anubis protected site, requesting that image could be enough.
Ideally, Anubis should serve as little data as possible until the POW is completed. Caching the POW algorithm (and the image) to a CDN would also mitigate the issue.
Yeah, it was how my family transitioned to digital TV. USB tuner stick + windows media center. And then MS killed it.
If you want a media box, windows used to be a really good option. Back when windows media center was a thing. Not so valuable now though.
I have a lot more faith in tailscale holding the fort against enshitification. They at least seem to have planned their business plan around free tier for advertising, and minimising the cost of the free tier traffic. Can’t predict the future of course, but from a business model POV, they appear to be well setup.
Headscales main issue is that they rely on the tailscale app, and if the app got paywalled or locked to tailscale, that would kill headscale overnight.
I am very happy with headscale so far though, bit fiddly, but once setup it works very well.
I have all my domains on my pihole pointed to the local address, so I only noticed when my uptime monitoring of the external sites started pinging me. But for me, the outage was at 10pm, so it really didn’t matter either way.
There are no domains that are infinite time ownership (AFAIK, please correct me if I’m wrong), but its pretty close to ownership. I have the rights to the domain for 10 years, and I get first dibs on renewal after that. So its sorta renting/sorta owning?
Yes. I bought the domain through them, to keep it all nice and simple.
Yup, happy. A 3 hour outage once in a blue moon really isnt a big deal. Especially when I pay $0.
I host a website for my partners business, and as I pointed out to them, while their website is down right now, so is everyone else’s, so not really losing customers.
I usually do the later when it happens to me.
Should mostly wipe the OS, so realistically safe. I think some firmware may remain, but overall should be clean.
SSL VPN is the more general term to describe it, and there are definitely some vendors that do that. Not sure about standalone VPN software though.
A VPN wrapped in HTTPS would be basically undetectable. Yes, your ISP could start marking IP addresses as “VPN”, but that would be a wack-a-mole situation, and wouldnt scale at all.
Look for the additional storage section under the app settings:
I’ll do a little research into both and try work out if there is anything that could be done. I can’t promise anything in terms of promptness, this is a learning experience for me as well. So hopefully someone else has an answer for you :)
You are the real life LongtimeUser4.
Unfortunately I can’t help more than that.
Edit: can you give the output of lsmod? I wonder if a hacked linux keyboard driver could help? I’m happy to give it a try if your interested in testing it.
They might mean gui-less. Log into a tty shell, use vim/emacs/editor of choice.
What CPU is it? 32bit only hardware would be ancient, I’m surprised you found something that old with a working battery?
I’m guessing they can rip the other end of the lock out of the wall tbh.
But realistically, theifs aren’t that sophisticated, they aren’t going to waste time trying to find and destroy the DVR, the will grab whatever valuables they can carry and pawn and leave as fast as possible.
The cameras are really just a deterant, they will move on to an easier house instead of risking it with mine.
Home security first of all, with cameras to deter thiefs. That alone mostly solves the problem, but I’m in a relatively safe area.
My “lab” is just a switch, nuc and unifi cloud key, and while they are warm in their closet, its not super hot.
I have a Kensington lock on the security camera box, but someone could theoretically yank that out of the wall.
The rest really isnt worth breaking in to steal.
I dunno that is true, nothing in the docs indicates that it is explicitly anti-CDN. And using a CDN for a static javascript resource and an image isn’t the same as running the entire site through a CDN proxy.
