  • Fiber has 1 or 2 and is VERY rugged in comparison...you can literally tie a knot in a fiber cable and it'll still work.

    Emm, not with glass fibers. My friend uses it between router and switch, and the one of the fiber breaks. So, traffic can be sent to router but nothing the other way around. He said he didn't even touch or put significant stress on the cable. Yet, it breaks in a weird way, and hard to troubleshot without proper equipment.

  • Doesn't have to, I think. Text is actually quite adequate. Sure, images are great but that's only for a subset of alerts, like AMBER, but that can be achieved by secondary distribution channels like a dedicated webpage or social media. There won't be network congestion during those alerts. You don't really need images or video for alerts like floods, hurricanes, or even missile incoming alerts. For those you only need an address or coordinates that can point people to the closest shelter. Yeah, not all people are familiar with the surroundings (like traveling) but in that kind of scenarios every people around you will pool together and get to the same location.

    The whole core functionality that the alert system must achieve is a near 100% delivery rate that uses minimal bandwidth of the network. You don't want to stress the network because there are more important traffic need to be routed, like 911.

  • well. as another said, one is pretty unique the moment they seek online privacy. this is the sad reality of it. You want to blend in, less unique? Ditch privacy is a way to go. Is this a shit choice, of course it is. The otherway around is embrace the uniquess on every refresh of the page. However, I still have a hard time to beat some very sophisticated fingerprinting engines. Or you can disable Javascript and you won't be fingerprint-able at all along a VPN.

  • Wait. If this exception get adopted, does that mean one can pirate everything and use "AI training data" as a perfect defense? People doesn't even need to have any hardware, thanks to cloud computing. All the proof you need is you used or intend to use said data for AI training purposes.

  • Except many services are very aggressive to Tor exit nodes, namely Google and Cloudflare. Everytime I just met with CAPTCHA after CAPTCHAs, and eventually I gave up on the site.

    Yeah, I should cut ties with Google but cutting YouTube on NewPipe is hard. I'm on Proton and watching YouTube is already hard.
