  • I think it's worth mentioning that this only applies to unmasking an ISP's customers, not individual website/social media users.

    In common with the opposition that ruled out the use of DMCA subpoenas in the early RIAA case, the ISP argued that these subpoenas don’t apply to mere conduit providers, as defined under § 512(a) of the DMCA.

    The Hawaii District Court agreed with Cox’s reasoning last year and quashed the subpoena. The ruling concluded that DMCA subpoenas typically don’t apply to DMCA §512(a) services, but do apply to other providers that store or link to infringing content directly.

  • Yea every network may do things differently... in my case tcp/443 openvpn is blocked at several places that I frequent.

  • I assume this is because, in addition to the missing ciphers as referenced in the linked article, OpenVPN, even though it uses TLS, it initially uses a very identifiable handshake before initiating TLS, which is not hard to block. I have personally had problems specifically with OpenVPN being targeted/blocked in this way.

  • Well... like Bill Clinton said, it depends on what the definition of "is" is.

  • Verify our no-logging policy through code inspection

    Couldn't a network appliance, iptables or a bpf program still be logging and we'd have no idea?

    Validate that the code running on our servers matches this public repository

    Yes but AFAIK it can't validate that the code you verified against is the same code actually powering your VPN session right now (could be a dummy box just used for validation), or that some other external hardware or superuser-level code isn't also listening in. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

  • I’m not sure they have thought this even minimally

    If they had, I would think these laws would not exist in the first place.

  • Canada and the United States have banned or shut down torrenting sites, while Trinidad and Tobago imposes lengthy prison sentences for illicit media streaming.

    I assume this is what they're referring to, although you didn't specify your country. Seems accurate to me.

  • For hardcore gaming, absolutely IMO. If you want to approach CRT-level motion clarity you need to get closer to 1000hz.

    comparison of higher framerates up to 540hz: https://0x0.st/8FXU.png

    The beam simulation shader recommends at least 240hz but the preferred speed is 480 or as high as possible.

  • Sounds like an attempt to curb their massive abuse problem.

    On Matrix, you can actually upload files using special message types that don't even show up on normal clients, but persist forever... you can imagine the very illegal types of content that people post using such methods.

  • To be fair, discord is maybe not exactly the most appropriate place to disclose potential security issues, and it's possible OP derailed an existing conversation to bring this up.

    I realize they are probably trying to imply a more ominous tone to the response though... and which one is true (or both), I don't know. Seven days does seem quite extreme to me though (but they also claim in another place it was only 3 days).
