The European Union’s new Digital Markets Act (DMA) is a complex, many-legged beast, but at root, it is a regulation that aims to make it easier for the public to control the technology they use and rely on. One DMA rule forces the powerful “gatekeeper” tech companies to allow third-party app stores....

Eurovision expresses disappointment over performer wearing pro-Palestinian symbol
  • I’d say the scale of civilian death achieved through the deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure is so extreme, it could not have been foreseen. It is a vastly disproportionate response.

    Agreed that it's disproportionate. Somewhat conflicted on the "deliberate targeting" as I think it's more of a "don't care as long as we also hit something that might be Hamas". Still certain that Hamas knew what would happen and already had a plan to use it for propaganda purposes.

    This is just wrong. The western powers have unwaveringly supported Israel from the beginning. Only just recently has the US decided to perhaps reduce the weapon shipments to Israel, after vast destruction and loss of life has already occurred.

    Israel already have all the weapons they need to flatten Gaza completely. Hamas tactics are kind of working though. Although most western governments support Israel, this is causing internal issues (protests etc) in those countries, which weakens those governments, which will translate to less support for Israel. I suspect it won't do much in the short term, except perhaps strengthen the resolve of the Israeli government, which will only translate into more suffering for the Palestinian people.

    The only people who can stop this suffering is the Israeli and Palestinian people, which they were trying to do before all this kicked off, and likely one of the reasons why one of the most pro-Palestine kibbutzes (Be'eri?) was hit so hard. Both Hamas and the Israeli government gain from this conflict, sickening as it is.

  • Eurovision expresses disappointment over performer wearing pro-Palestinian symbol
  • Do you think that Hamas are so inept that they didn't know what was going to happen after Oct 7? No, they knew, and counted on it to get support and to wreck any goodwill Israel had with their neighbours and the world.

    Don't take me writing this as support for Israel. I hate their right wing fascist government as much as I hate the terrorists in Hamas.

    There are no good guys in this, and both are fine with the killing of innocent civilians.

    Eurovision expresses disappointment over performer wearing pro-Palestinian symbol
  • Russia wasn't kicked out for invading Ukraine, just to be clear. Russia was kicked out because they no longer have a free press, which is a requirement for participation.

    You can call it a pretense if you want, but that's the official reason, not the war.

  • Eurovision expresses disappointment over performer wearing pro-Palestinian symbol
  • Hamas attacked Israel, counting on the response being disproportionate and bloody. They wanted dead Palestinians and the Israeli government complied.

    Hamas aren't the good guys here. Neither is the Israeli government, just to be clear.

  • Eurovision expresses disappointment over performer wearing pro-Palestinian symbol
  • Typical no win situation. Can't pick a side without being criticised, can't not pick a side for the same reason.

    Only thing that both the Israeli government and Hamas can agree on is that the Palestinian people is expendable.

    New Release I2P 2.5.1 - Blog - I2P

    I2P 2.5.1 is being released to address Denial-of-Service Attacks affecting the I2P network and services. With this release we disable the IP-based parts of the Sybil attack detection tool which were targeted to amplify the effect and duration of the attack. This should help the network return to normal operation. Those of you who have disabled the Sybil attack detection tool may safely re-enable it. Adjustments to other subsystems to improve RouterInfo validation and peer selection have also been made.

    As usual, we recommend that you update to this release. The best way to maintain security and help the network is to run the latest release.

    Network Weather Update: Still Stormy, Suggested Short-Term Mitigations
  • From one of the developers:

    Excellent question. In the case of Java I2P and of I2P+, the attacker is actually gaming the sybil attack tool in order to trick routers into erroneously banning floodfills.

    Basically the attacker has found a way to trick real routers into attempting to connect to fake routers. Normally, this is not harmful, fake routers are just offline routers. Offline forever.

    But if you craft your fake router this one specific way then the router you are tricking thinks some real router, which is usually reachable, is offline. That's how it affects I2P without the sybil tool. The sybil tool, in this case, amplifies the effect of the attack and the duration of the attack, because the real router which is ddos'ed gets banned by the sybil tool.

    Edit: I am deliberately leaving out specific details here.

  • Ireland pledging emergency legislation to send asylum seekers back to UK in wake of Rwanda bill being passed
  • A question. If the migrants that comes to Ireland via the UK first came into the EU in France, could the Dublin agreement be used to send them back to France?

    This isn't a question of they should be sent back, only if they legally could.
