Thanks for the video link. Very interesting. This is how all computers will be built eventually. So seize the means of computation until we can...

Google will just say that pages with DRM will rank higher in their search and it's all done.

Is it possible to completely hide all reverse proxy traffic from a VPS provider? in c/selfhosted
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

You could try destination NAT with netfilter/iptables (DNAT) and terminate TLS on your home server.

This way packets will be forwarded to the home server without beign decrypted on the VSP.

So one could have replace a JS file with one fetched from attacker controlled server for any site behind Akamai like LastPass or PayPal. That JS could have exfiltrated all the secrets from these sites on the client side (post decryption) or replace account numbers with their own on behalf of the user.

Norton 360 Now Comes With a Cryptominer – Krebs on Security (krebsonsecurity.com)
 

“Norton is pretty much amplifying energy consumption worldwide, costing their customers more in electricity use than the customer makes on the mining, yet allowing Norton to make a ton of profit,” tweeted security researcher Chris Vickery. “It’s disgusting, gross, and brand-suicide.”

Rust vs Go in Backend Web Development - Qvault in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 years ago

Performance metrics generally put Rust squarely ahead of Go, but not by a lot.

10x, 4x and 3x performance difference is not "but not by a lot", it is al lot! :D Imagine needing 1 server vs 10 servers to run same app. Same for memory.

Can people stop contradicting themselves when comparing X with Rust just to make X look less horrible, please!
