The way we can tell that this slashdot post is a PR agency product is the information is presented as de facto, as if stating something is not correct makes it not correct. The only predictable result from this is to make the supporters of these things believe even more strongly and the people who don't believe to think those people just stupid naves, with the ultimate and predictable result being derision.

I'm wondering if they do like they did back in the P2P days of taking down batches of sites, with legit sites buried in the lists, never to come back again.

I miss the good ol' days when just the bias of the admin and mods was the issue, not some behind-the-scenes state and corporate PR asshats.

So... of all the things they can't afford, daycare isn't among them? Why is it that if one brings up the cost of daycare as it relates to school attendance, the notion is either ignored, ridiculed, or laughed at?

We can see that without the benefit of free daycare, they rapidly fade into the past.

I suspect it will skew towards people infected as people showing symptoms who couldn't get tested want to know if they had it.

But at least someone is working on it.

Yeah! Seize the means of production!

Not very good at predicting when I want a pizza.

uMatrix add-on will block a lot, out of the box, but I also set it to block everything from 3rd-party domains and all javascript, by default.

I don't understand touchscreen on reflective light devices. All I see is fingerprints.

Didn't there used to be a filter to prevent ASCII "art" from showing up in comments? IIRC, it would print something like: "Awful lot of repetitive characters there..."

The session resumption session ID is the reason overhead is low. Without session resumption, CPU load will go up by quite a lot.

DNS over TLS is already done by systemd-resolved on Linux, so if anyone wanted to go that route, they could already do so.

How is this accomplished without knowing if the server can respond to DoT? Even at the firewall level it seems like some defined intermediary (Cloudflare, Quad9, Google, etc.) DoT server is required.

Have you noticed that in these discussions nobody seems to mention that DoT and DoH can prevent modifying DNS queries?

I found interesting this paragraph from a PowerDNS blog entry:

DNS over HTTPS offers additional tracking capabilities

DNS over HTTPS opens up DNS to all the tracking possibilities present in HTTPS and TLS. As it stands, DNS over UDP almost always gets some free privacy by mixing all devices on a network together – an outside snooper sees a stream of queries coming from a household, a coffeeshop or even an entire office building, with no way to tie a query to any specific device or user. Such mixing of queries provides an imperfect but useful modicum of privacy.

DNS over HTTPS however neatly separates out each device (and even each individual application on that device) to a separate query stream. This alone is worrying, as we now have individual users’ queries, but the TLS that underlies HTTPS also typically uses TLS Resumption which offers even further tracking capabilities.

In short, setting up an encrypted connection eats up precious CPU cycles both on client and server. It is therefore possible to reuse a previously established encrypted state for subsequent connections, which saves a lot of time and processor energy.

It does however make it possible to track an application from IP address to IP address because this TLS Resumption session ID is effectively a cookie that uniquely tracks users across network and IP address changes.
