It was over for me when the EFF advanced the charge of government censorship of the internet. The EFF had previously been a client of mine so I was somewhat familiar with how things worked and basically once Gilmore was out, it went downhill.

They did a lot of good work (much like the ACLU) but they are now honestly unrecognizable.

My old company donated around $3k/mo of services for almost a decade which in the grand scheme of things isn't a lot but we kept them online when other ISPs would've shut them off.

I've ceased donating to them and the ACLU because they no longer stand for freedom on or off the internet. My money now goes to groups that actively pursue the government for violating our constitutional rights.


> groups that actively pursue the government for violating our constitutional rights

Could you share some examples?



not the ancestor poster, but you might want to check out https://fire.org/ and https://ij.org/

What specific cause are you referring to here as government censorship of the internet?

> when the EFF advanced the charge of government censorship of the internet

Wait, when did this happen? What are you referring to here?


Citations heavily needed.

Its worth it to practice people skills. Maybe try signing up for public speaking classes or some other form of story telling?


Is there a non-docker version of this? I looked around and it seems like no. I'm not installing Linux to run this.



I'm absolutely not installing Windows either. I need a tarball or git repo...


HE participates in NANOG, what are you even talking about.


Its not really going to affect their services, maybe email in/out of it but thats about it.

NetSol should've done better though, this makes them look like clowns.

idk. how do you know that their management capability can run sans dns?


Because they run their own DNS servers and inside of their network they're going to be using their own infra...


idk. aren't they tier 1? what if it breaks peering? is all their management capability strictly "inside" their network? what would happen to the rest of the internet if they dropped off?


It would not.


This post is a great way to show who doesn't understand L1 topologies lol.


The article comes off as mostly clickbait TBH. I live in San Francisco, our school system here stinks.

I'd say about 25% of the teachers at my kid's school are incompetent so that kinda lines up with 1:4 saying "technology bad". It took the pandemic for the school system to come 20 years into the future technology wise and they're still at least 15 years behind.

I honestly wouldn't trust a teacher to tell me what the future should be or if something is good or bad...


I've heard this from a lot of ex googlers, its not a huge surprise.

Google hired a bunch of people to keep them out of the hands of others. Those people now sit around and write papers on useless topics...


He built OpenDNS and exited it, he was pretty technical when I met him.

I suspect he doesn't have to work and does so anyways...


As stated in 'graph 4 of TFA (reinforcing your point against OP's shallow dismissal).
