Can you define "block" ? The archive.is owner do a lot of fake blocking behaviour if they don't like your IP , if you try to use an anonymizer


I mean that the page doesn’t even begin to load. I get early and often Google reCAPTCHAs on archive.is and its mirrors under normal operation over HTTPS/Tor, but I was referring to the site not loading in at all, and getting some kind of PTR/SSL error iirc when it happens, which is most/all of the time when using US VPN exit points over HTTP(S). I don’t experience these errors at all over Tor, because their Tor site doesn’t use certificates. I run HTTPS-only mode in the clearnet, so perhaps others don’t experience this issue on their machine(s), but I don’t want any kind of MITM and/or downgrade attacks to slip through the cracks, just in case.


Is it correct to Assuming the amount of Mexican companies in this paper is because of their receiver being in the major city southwestmost corner of the country ?


Yeah that's correct. The study was conducted in San Diego which falls under the satellite beam footprint required for services in Mexico.

If you were in say, Alice Springs in Australia (wink wink) for example, you'd be able to see traffic for Indonesia, Philippines, most of South East Asia, and perhaps parts of China, South Korea and Japan if the beams are right.


> wink wink

location location location is an apt phrase for more than just real estate


I'm not so good at hints. Are you gesturing at the NSA facility at Pine Gap?


Yes they are trying to be cheeky, but missing the mark.

Pine Gap is a large facility for collecting data coming down from our own satellites.

Foreign satellite collection in Australia happens at two other facilities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoal_Bay_Receiving_Station https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Defence_Satellite_C...


And if you were in Harrogate, UK (more winks), you’d be in the footprint of satellites servicing Europe.


You'd have a long walk to get to Menwith Hill.


That’s my interpretation


They already lease them out. TELUS in Canada traditional old ISP rents large portion of their space to a mostly used for Chinese GFW VPN server provider in LA „Psychz“


The ISPs have to submit plans on how to use their IPs for the public,especially for IPv4, Arnic shouldn't approve this kind of stuff. Unless they lied in their ip block application, in which case they should be revoked their block.


I filled out one of these for Cogent to get a /24. I was being honest but all I had to put was services that requires their own IP. I even listed a few but no where near the 253.

They also never responded back and were like "what about NAT" or "what about host based routing".


Not sure what you filled out, but blocks are handed usually not to end users, but to providers that will sublease the ips to their client. So if you are asking for a block for a couple of your HTTP servers, that's a no. If you rent HTTP servers to, say, local small businesses, then that's a yes.


How do you afford the licensing for the news feeds?


It's rather annoying that high-entropy files (also known as encrypted files... unknown magic header files) in OneDrive trigger ransomware protection.


For a metrics driven company they sure did not cite a single metric or have any data when they forced mandatory RTO without having enough office space or desks to support everyone returning while I worked there.

Not sure they really care about many metrics these days.


The metrics are there and they were driven by them; they just didn’t want to share what those metrics were because they wouldn’t be received well.

“Our primary investors are also leveraged heavily in the commercial real estate market and they’re losing their shirts and we need their money, so…”


Yeah, it is just very humorous such that normally, all of us in the room are used to a specific kind of presentation, where they show metrics and why that's a good thing because all decisions MUST to be data-driven. In this particular case, it definitely "boosted productivity and was helpful" no Q&A, no data, meeting was over.

And then we didn't have enough desks, outlets, and internet was slow. Lmao.


Some services will also ban you for this. Samsung, Amazon, ... so you have to use generic or random words on left side.


Been using this with Amazon and plenty of other services for decades, not sure where you’re coming from.


Samsung now blocks the word samsung at registration time. Previously if you signed up successfully they would disable your account at a random point in the future.


i encountered the samsung@ issue too, so that turned into sumsang@ which worked. :)


> The modern matchmaking approach groups people by skill not latency

I work at a game studio and something I have seen is that nobody is on wired anymore. You are poweruser if you are on wired. Significantly the 99% of users will be on mobile or wifi and be 10ms to first hop or two hop.
