Now I wonder what we'll do with something like this... Anyone else feeling a bit tired of the price of internet service in Newfoundland and Labrador?

Hello friends, Like all businesses open to the public in Newfoundland and Labrador, we will abide by the mandatory mask requirement as described here: https://www.gov.nl.ca/covi/non-medical-masks-use-in-public/ Non-medical mask use is mandated in all indoor public spaces, meaning you can't even enter the mall (much less our store within the mall) without one. Harrassment of our staff regarding this (or any other) issue will absolutely not be tolerated. If you refuse to wear ...a mask in accordance with provincial regulations, you will be refused service. If you have concerns about these regulations please address them to our provincial health authority. We are committed to doing everything we can to protect our community by helping prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. See more

Great recertified laptop at an affordable price!

Hey, did you know that some services that advertise themselves as VPNs actually just redirect your data, thus making it possible to find the original source eve...n after the data has been passed through the VPN? No? Well, don't feel bad, neither did the guy who tried to compromise one of our servers today. Figure 1 shows how a VPN works; your data leaves the source, goes to the VPN, and is then transmitted from the VPN to the destination. Using this method it's extremely difficult (and in some cases impossible) to locate the original source from the destination. Figure 2 shows a service commonly sold as a "VPN". The VPN is not actually processing and retransmitting your data, it's just redirecting it. Capturing the data at the destination makes finding the original source trivial. While this method is faster and fine for, say, watching a streaming service from another country, it is not a secure way to disguise the originating point of your data. So, to the guy: -- The Smart: It was smart of you to run your bot off a Raspberry Pi on a separate subnet from the other computers in your house. Even if someone intruded on it, they wouldn't see any of the other machines on your network. It was also smart of you to automate a force-reload of the external IP address of your internet connection, as the regular changes in IP can make traffic harder to track. -- The Less Smart: Having ports open through your external connection that lead to computers on your main network means that someone trying to find out where this traffic is coming from finds a direct conduit to your home network. Them being on a different subnet than the Pi doesn't help if they're accessible from the outside. Refreshing your IP is great, but if someone notices your traffic as it's coming in the trail leads directly back to your currently assigned address. -- You'll find a file on your desktop called HI-MARK.jpg. It's an image of a very disappointed Bea Arthur. There's an email address steganographically encoded in the image (the passphrase is your router password). Drop me a line some time! I'd love to know what kind of flower that is outside the basement window, it looks beautiful. What's the growing season like in Lansing? See more
