Hm, the WAF is not free and it won't tell me what their lowest tier does without me giving a ton of info to 'talk to an expert'. Bleh. The rest looked good though. I was hoping I could add theirs in front of my raspberrypi, or at least dockerize my rockberrypi or something and send it to them for free.

Comment This sounds really cool (Score 1) 44

Is it me, or does the idea of a self-reliant nuclear-powered data center sound pretty cool? Not dependent on a power grid, can (and should) be placed in the middle of nowhere, creates many jobs at all levels and an economy... You can basically spawn a city. Well, except in case of accidents or attacks. But these, like, almost never occur :)

Even if it was possible (probably russia or china for instance would have no problem letting them hop through), it's a difficult decision to take. You're not just cutting off scammers, you're cutting off everyone using internet to inform themselves outside of propaganda channels, the way it's supposed to be used. Some consider internet access a human right.

I mean, attack is always easier than defense. Breaking into one system you need a few really good guys, securing a whole thing you need a whole organization. The article doesn't compare the offensive cybersecurity capabilities of the USA, which I assume are massive. It's not gonna say "oh look we infiltrated this super secret stuff" in head lines. Actually that there's never a peep of anyone reporting being infiltrated by the USA is telling, it means they're better.

Comment Not sure how new this is (Score 2) 49

They were already doing that for businesses when I was working in China a little than 20 years ago, in Shenzhen. You could, and we did, request it and got it. (Fun fact: about a month later they gave us a mystery box to plug anywhere on our network - I was working security, it's lucky that when I put it 'anywhere' it landed on a completely isolated network with only public data :)
