Worse, they've cut off all services to the International Criminal Court. Due to Trump's sanctions. All gov and judicial services in NL continue to rely on Microsoft's cloud tech.. Literally the dog in the house on fire meme..

While this headline is absolutely despicable, let's not forget there's plenty of lawyers who've given up many comforts to fight for good instead. They will be tearing this up.

Judging lawyers just for being lawyers does not help our case. Judge lawyers for being evil, cheer on those who choose to make the world a better place.

I bet that 1234 is used more often because of the 4-character minimum, like PIN codes on debit cards. It's 4 characters so it's safe. 123, on the other hand, is not safe, because it is 3 characters. /s

My solar inverter admin interface has a certain 4-digit password. So I wanted to change it to secure it, and found out that it only allows 4-digit passwords. Luckily the access point can be set up with a higher entropy password though (it is constantly advertised and had a very "secure" 8-digit password by default, I think you can guess which one)

That's crazy and genius!

The way I understand it, there's 2 use cases for a VPN, with different concerns and providers:

  • having access to your private home network from anywhere, through an encrypted tunnel (Tailscale, Wireguard on the router, etc)
  • having your outgoing traffic to the internet go through an anonymized exit node so that your ISP can not watch or sell what you are doing (ProtonVPN, Mullvad VPN, etc)

Is Tailscale fit for the second? I thought not, as the exit node is not an anonymized VPN server but one of your own machines.

I agree!

I think that we will keep having a mixup of "Buy European", "Boycott US" and "Privacy" because of the typical overlap of reasons why consumers change their behavior. I really like the visualisations that acknowledge this difference and indicate which alternatives satisfy which reasons for wanting to switch away from American providers.
