Comment Port sentry (Score 1) 58

Port Sentry is your friend :)

A. The Sentry tools provide host-level security services for the UNIX platform. PortSentry, Logcheck/LogSentry, and HostSentry protect against portscans, automate log file auditing, and detect suspicious login activity on a continuous basis.

It can also automatically respond to scans by blocking the originating hosts.

I have been using it continuously since the 1990's

Comment Fiber to the Home (Score 3, Interesting) 98

Hell we have faster than that in in Clarksville, Tennessee :) with reasonably decent prices. Oh ya we have Municipal Fiber to the Home

50mbps - $44.95
100mbps - $69.96
200mpbs - $89.95
1000mbps - $249.95

You can get triple pack with 175 TV channels, phone, and 50mbps internet for $118 a month.

And these are not special offer prices. They just bumped everyone's speeds up by 2x and they have yet to raise prices. Speeds are bidirectional so you get the same up as down. They are a Netflix open connect partner, and you actually get the speeds they promise! Go CDE Lightband!

Comment Seperate content creation from Bandwidth provision (Score 2) 398

The FCC should make Comcast and Verizon and all these other companies chose... They can be content creation companies or bandwidth providers, but not both. This is all about making it easier and more convenient to pay them for their video services than to attempt to get it from a third party it's monopolistic and anti-competitive behavior...

Comment Re:Youtube's shitty copyright... (Score 5, Insightful) 157

I regularly receive false copyright claims on music which is clearly in the public domain and was performed live by Military bands. The company which files the claim should face criminal penalties for perjury, Once a false claim is made by a company, Youtube should be forced to remove their access to the content id system or should become directly liable for the false claims made by these companies.

Comment this should apply to all domains worldwide (Score 4, Interesting) 71

Every single domain should have accurate and verifiable information for the owner, administrative, and technical contacts. The use of services which anonymize or mask domain owners should be prohibited.Whois was intended to enable you to identify the ownership of a domain and who to contact about it.

Comment The solution (Score 1) 475

The question is why should truecrypt or anyone else hold a master encryption key to your data. The software should generate a signing key on installation, and that key should be then used for signing. It could then be sent to the provider for them to store in case the original is lost. But truecrypt would not have a master key that automatically unlocks all of their customers data if subpoenaed by the government. Your key will unlock only your data and no one elses.
