I’ve been thinking about what it would look like if Oracle bought TikTok, but I am not sure if they will go with a per device or per core licensing model

Sweden-Latvia Internet cable was reportedly cut on 26 January. @meileaben reports that packet delays between selected anchores increased by 5-20ms at around 00:45 UTC.

However, no packet loss was observed, suggesting that the Internet successfully routed around the damage.

Interested? Read a deep-dive into a previous cable cut in the Baltic Sea by our researcher Emile Aben: https://labs.ripe.net/author/emileaben/a-deep-dive-into-the-baltic-sea-cable-cuts/

Fun fact I just found while researching my column for this week's issue of The Crux:

Google reckons you're in the top 10% of users of Gemini if you use it 20 times in the last 28 days.

That's less than once a day.

ghidriff - mpengine.dll - VersionTrackingDiff - 1.1.24030.4 vs 1.1.24060.5

https://gist.github.com/v-p-b/f9aa39263e125c8e3b04c4d22fd4d78d#strings

This one executed much faster than SimpleDiff (with the O(n^2) FuncName:Param algorithm)!

Unfortunately the diff is so big it's difficult to judge quality, so the next step is to come up with some metrics that can be checked automatically.

demoparties prominently featuring genML stuff feels like the antithesis of the point of making demoscene productions. bleh.

whenever skynet actually comes online, it will trivially realize that it barely has to lift a finger to put us all in the matrix. it doesn't have to send robots back through time to end humanity. it just needs to twiddle a bgp route here and there and we'll do it to ourselves.

@tmr232 Valid point, but as I see no further logic for the resolution of such a conflict we can just as well keep the last ("random") result. But let's see what @clearbluejar thinks!

One refrain I tend to hear from a lot of infosec practitioners is that if CF were to somehow make it more inhospitable for abusive sites, that they will all just move to other CDNs in nations where we don't have as much access or influence, such as DDoS-Guard in Russia. Here's the thing, though: A) that would be a nice problem to have, because then the bad sites would be 1000 times easier to block. but also B) those abusive sites already have that option, and they choose CF by an overwhelming number. E.g., in one recent investigation into nearly 5 dozen RU-based cryptocurrency platforms that exchange crypto for cash in Russian banks, all were hosted in Russia or in Russian friendly ISPs, and all but one of them were using Cloudflare. This is just one example, yes, but it's a reality we see everywhere.

Cloudflare's CEO recently floated the idea of a service to block AI companies that scrape media content without compensation. It's an intriguing and possibly useful idea, and one that they could probably pull off to some degree. I didn't see this brief interview anywhere else so...

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7287149126188691458/

Anyway, this idea is interesting coming from CF because their CEO has long argued that it doesn't want to be in the anti-abuse business absent a court order, as anything less amounts to a slippery slope of censorship. But as long as the CEO is talking about being the arbiter of good and bad, how about we start with something more prosaic, like making it easier for people to decide what parts of CF's network they don't want to see at all.

BTW, Cloudflare's mantra is that they don't "host" content in the conventional sense, but rather they are a pass-through that caches content in multiple places to make it more quickly and globally available. At the same time, their mantra on abuse has always been that selectively booting bad customers without a court order is akin to censorship, i.e. their being able to decide whether some content deserves to be online or not.

But here's the truth: Even if CF were to boot a site off its network, that doesn't "censor" the booted property, which will still have its content served from the original location. And this is why I find their argument for not doing more so disingenuous.

@joxean @tmr232 Let's hope for that! As I said earlier, I'd be happy to help out, and subscribed to the linked issue.

@tmr232 @clearbluejar First of all, this is not my code, so there can be hidden assumptions I don't know about.

Functions can have the same name, but 1) as I understand the point here is to create matches based on an exact name and parameter number match 2) we remember symbol objects in the end so string properties shouldn't matter aside of matching.
