Fast, but not faster than XOR filters. I was wondering if the title was a typo, but the article clarifies they sacrificed some speed for the smaller size.
Agreed on the madness of wide open OS defaults, I share your vision for isolation as a first-class citizen.
In the mean-time (for Windows 11 users) theres Sandboxie+ fighting the good fight. I know most here will be aware of its strengths and limitations, but for any who dont (or who forgot about it), I can say its still working just as great on Windows 11 like it did on Windows 7.
While its not great isolating heavy-weight dev environments (Visual Studio, Unreal Engine, etc), its almost perfect for managing isolation of all the small suff (Steam games, game emulators, YouTube downloaders , basic apps of all kinds).
Fair point about it being less invasive than adtech sites, but my comment was just addressing the claim that piracy doesn't “track users and send a bunch of telemetry”.
Torrent-trackers broadcast ip-addresses, timestamps, and torrent metadata; even if you consider it minor or mitigated by VPNs/seedboxes.
It's clear in the thread that a forum user worked for BT. What was unclear was whether the site still belonged to BT and whether the employee was given official or any clearance to retrieve the parts. There was no 'we' language, all 'I', which is unusual at best. For a company of BT's scale one would expect a small team for such a recovery.
I'm curious, where is it clear in the thread that he got permission?
> I'd point out of course that it appears that those folks are trespassing on private property - possibly in an environment that is quite unsafe.
I hope nobody on here is daft enough to follow their lead.
Said the guy who proceeded to follow their lead. I get it he was a BT employee so may have not been trespassing, but he appeared to have a change of mind about the possibly quite unsafe environment.
SNRI's (Cymbalta etc) induce brainzaps even worse than SSRI's. Counting out individual beads from inside the capsule is actually a thing people do to wean off gradually (and the zaps are strong even then).
