2 things:

1. This seems to be a specific attack for their IM protocol if the entry node was compromised, and could be placed nearby the client. To make this much easier, you'd want to compromise both the entry and exit nodes (in this case exit node is TOR native, so it's more like internal node).

This has never been unknown, this is one of the fundamental attack vectors against TOR, the IM protocol seemed to make correlation easier due to its real time nature.

They added a protection layer called Vanguard, to ensure the internal exit nodes were fixed to reduce the likelihood that you could track a circuit with a small number of compromised internal exit nodes. This seems like it would help due to reducing likelihood of sampling.

2. TOR has always been vulnerable, the issue is the resources needed are large, and specifically, the more competition for compromising nodes the more secure it is. Basically now the NSA is probably able to compromise most connections, and they wouldn't announce this and risk their intelligence advantage unless there was an extremely valuable reason. They definitely wouldn't do so because a drug dealer was trying to make a sale. Telling normal law enforcement basically ends their advantage, so they won't.

Other state actors might try, but they're not in the same league in terms of resources, IIRC there are a LOT of exit nodes in Virginia.

tl;dr - The protocol is mostly safe, it doesn't matter if people try to compromise it, the nature of TOR means multiple parties trying to compromise nodes make the network more secure as each faction hides a portion of data from the others, and only by sharing can the network be truly broken. Good luck with that.

That's bullshit, it's fun just in different ways.

Sweden is coffee and biscuits while the US is cocaine with meth as a treat.

The system is all over the place, it's safe for them to be drones, but if they show any potential they get fired up the railgun of intense academics like you can't believe, they have some absolutely incredible engineers and scientists, and as a percentage of their population it's almost unheard of.

The downside is after school they tend to leave for the US or elsewhere, the actual job opportunities for world-class scientists and engineers in Sweden are decent, but their yield of talent far, FAR outstreteches the economic capacity to carry them.

They have the talent pool of West Germany with the population of, well, Sweden (10.5m, it's tiny).

For smartphones they actually could, they could tie the lipo pack serial number to the imei and work everything out from there.

Then make sure it's been unlocked via biometrics within a second or so.

It's very rare that someone else holds a phone to be unlocked for you, though it does happen, still the closest to a targeted kill.

Those back-alley 'marriages' to 13-year-old "virgins" aren't going to last.

I would agree.

But I think it helps everyone's cause more to simply ignore them utterly.

These worthless 'hyper-masculine' fascist trash, the worst thing you can do to them is show them how impotent they really are without even putting in effort.

Trump was humiliated at the debate, we just do the same to all these other Russian funded losers.

Ignore them, make it clear they're nothing and nobody cares.

It burns them more than literally everything else, they're spoiled children throwing a tantrum, let them.

The European Union on Wednesday began the process of clawing back hundreds of millions of euros in funds meant to go Hungary after its ant-migrant government refused to pay a huge fine for breaking the bloc’s asylum rules.

I'm pretty sure there are other things they aren't doing, more fines seem in order.

In fact, keep fining them till their net contribution to the EU is 0.

I'm sorry, I can't tell if you're cleaning it or fucking it.

If they can assert their ownership of the SCS now, they can hold that even as other nations get stronger.

But if they can't nail it down now, they've lost it forever and will always be a regional power, constrained by maritime neighbors.

Xi is apparently a gambler, and not a good one.

That is literally the motif of this whole war special military asskicking.

but different from being corrupt

Yes, but they already mentioned the commander was Russian in the article.

An Allegedly Corrupt Russian Commander

Yeah this title was written by the department of redundancy department.

I'm fine with the former, the latter should be "no derivatives that attempt to relicense for commercial use".

Saying "no forks" is as anti-OSS as you get really, short of hiding all the code under your mattress ala MSFT.

So, the reason the program has been so successful for decades is because it’s being run by morons?

First, it hasn't been successful in the 2000s and 2010s.

Secondly, it's been "successful" if you want to call it, because we have UNIMAGINABLE RESOURCES!!!

We have an infinite ammo hack enabled, and we always have wall-hacking from all our fused intel sources.

The problem is, we're excellent at killing anyone we want to kill, that's trivial for us, what isn't easy is getting people to actually want to like us after we've just killed people they know.

Also a lot of our trouble in the middle east was encouraged by Iran and even Russia, those RPGs came from somewhere.

That was the moron wing of US foreign policy.

Look again and tell me this is the same, Russia has been invaded by their version of Canada.

This is what we should have been doing in the 2010s, which we wasted because of the inbred moron wing of texas trying to control oil.

This is bullshit vatnik propaganda.

The west didn't expect Ukraine to do nearly as well, or Russia to be as much of a joke. We figured kyiv would be rolled in 2 weeks.

Coupled with political nervousness after the mess in the middle east, and rising China, the west has been far too cautious, doubly so with all the support Russia has been giving the far-right everywhere.

We need to hitch up our balls and push forward, the risk isn't Russia escalating, it's Russia winning and continuing to rebuild its empire while China pushes similarly in Asia.

This is a new axis forming, we either stop it now or pay a far greater price going forward.

He's a Midwestern republican, it's less bad there and they can keep deniability that people are so insane.

A lot of the worst of this spread from the dixiecrats when they joined the GOP, what's tragic is how Midwesterners keep convincing themselves that this is just normal politics and not the legacy of Jim Crow racism run amok.

I mean, he's still a politician, but he's a politician within the bounds of sanity.

Nice.

Linux gaming has made insane leaps over the last few years, really starting to close off my last windows needs.

Until physics kick in and suddenly I'm nosediving no matter how many switches I press

It'll always still be a MiG.

Dewine isn't crazy, he's mostly a paleorepublican from before the dixiecrat coup.

He's been fighting this insanity for a while, with mixed results.

How'd it turn out?

Built an lxc container but would consider bazzite if it does well.

I don't think this government needs any help, they're doing fine on their own.

The IR band gap is high enough that you'd need really efficient heat pumps to keep things radiating well. Otherwise the heat pumps generate more heat than you can radiate.

Russians: "Sure you can, it's just this red button right here..."

If you have enough ice, you evaporate it.

If not, heat pump/ sink into basalt probably.

That's hilarious, they wanted to create their own great firewall of China.

Nah, not even a little.

It was loki.

Beautiful settings, characters that grew, this is what was missing from marvel.

It's like the titanic trying to lobby against lifeboats from the ocean floor.

I'm not dead. I'm getting better. I think I'll go for a walk...

This specific post isn't that.

This is the marxist-lennist crowd decrying the end of the world again like they have for over a century.

I'm sure Himmler said the same.

We bought those people off decades ago, all their yachts, townhouses and other decent shit is as far from Russia as possible.

But if they see they can back us down and let them invade a country by waving nukes, they will be greatly encouraged to do so again, the cost/benefit ratio is far too high, they're getting something for literally nothing.

This is exactly how world wars start.

I'm fine with NG as methadone, the turbines are cheap and do good peaking and load following for solar.

Clean coal is about as practical as communism and Santa Claus. It's theoretically possible, in the same way that Craigslist hookups are possible, and never just scammers catfishing from Asia.

We need a long term plan, but we've needed one for decades now.

just because Russians, Moscow.

Leningrad looked at me funny, I swear.

BTW, they really so desperate to survive?

GO THE FUCK HOME!!!

Staying in Ukraine is just begging for everyone else to revisit all the genocides they've inflicted on others, like Armenia, Ukraine, poles, the list is endless.

I think a lot of those people would love to lay hands-on Russian citizens right now, for old times sake.

It's so delicious to watch karma unfold in real time to someone who so deserves it.

This is like a man trying to defend murder by saying you were just trying to rape her but she resisted.

They are a rat, I'm not afraid of a rat, we are going to stomp this rat's head into mush.

The rat can hiss and threaten all it wants, it went too far and there is no alternative, we put up with the rat shitting all over us for far too long.

Watching that made me so hungry, had to order delivery of some Kentucky fried kitten.
