  • removed a homeplug

    Jump

  • Homeplug is a defunct standard that had some real limitations, Ethernet over Power is a generic term relates to any standard of network over power lines.

    The G.hn powerline standard is a massive improvement (despite being almost as old and is closer to MoCA as it will actually work over coax and other copper wiring, not just power lines) for both performance and stability, but the Homeplug standards have probably ruined the public perception.

    G.hn is also a bit weird because the Wikipedia page presents it as how carriers could use, not as a home network option, even though a few home pieces of equipment are available, such as the TP-Link Deco PX50 which uses G.hn for the wifi backhaul.

  • Open email ... will it be a game changer?

    Jump

  • It doesn't sound like anything except trying to sell something to tin foil hat people.

    SMTP is still an open protocol, the ONLY reason you're able to email other servers is because it's an open protocol.

    Here's the RFC for it.

    Here's the one for SPF and here's everyone's favourite "I don't understand it, so I won't implement it, dammit why is Gmail blocking me? This is all big techs fault!"

    "oh but what about the weird protocols Microsoft uses for Outlook! They're not proper protocols!" You mean MAPI(RPC\HTTP) and ActiveSync? Well, RPC was built because the idea of a client constantly hitting an IMAP or POP, CalDEV and CardDAV in 1990 seemed like a poor use of resources. ActiveSync is about pushing email to devices with very low resources which don't have the power to constantly be polling a sever. Neither of these protocols affect SMTP, they are client protocols which were not thought about during the 70s and 80s when servers were logged into directly with terminals.

    Both solve legitimate problems. You actually have Microsoft's blessing to go build with either protocol because both are documented. Microsoft would probably love for you to improve on them because they are worked on by the engineers who care about protocols and performance. They do exist. But apparently being offered that opportunity is not good enough for the open source community because, while you will find a handful of projects with open source implementations of these, according to them IMAP is perfect.

    In Dylan Beattie's excellent talk on the subject of large email providers, he makes the point that a perfectly open system will be exploited by assholes. There's a reason toad.com is blacklisted. It's not a perfect system, but compatibility comes with massive compromises. S/MIME is a kludge and if anybody really could think of a way to improve SMTP it would not be big tech that's stopping it.

    ON A SIMILAR AND EQUALLY IMPORTANT TOPIC: Big tech isn't blocking Matrix adoption or XMPP. Maybe when they're a bit older, but they're not currently scalable or robust enough to take on proprietary solutions.

    Why do american white evangelicals love Donald Trump?

    Jump

  • Evangelical Christianity tells you not only that you are the main character in the world, and are therefore owed everything, it also teaches that you are not responsible for your own failings and Christ absolves all. So, in affect, it encourages narcissistic tendencies and Trump shows through Narcissism you can be all powerful without any responsibility.

    He is their ideal, therefore, he is their Christ.

  • Plex now want to SELL your personal data

    Jump

  • First of all, the European Data Protection Board have shown they are more than willing to throw their weight around issue large fines and request audits. Second of all, have you actually looked at the types of data data brokers buy and sell? Massive records of IPs, and metrics.

    Like above what "amazing treasure trove of personal data" are you giving up by clicking "I Accept". Search queries of the Plex Free Movie\TV library, watch times of the same free library and whether you click on pre, mid or post roll ads. And who is going to buy and sell this? Ad providers who swear they are providing targeted advertising, but really have quotas and metrics to fill. They will end up showing irrelevant ads anyway, not because of some algorithm, but literally because the advertising industry does not give two shits about click through rates just that ads get shown.

    There's so much bitching in this thread like someone from AdSense or Outbrain has personally murdered a family member, but the truth is, these places are a grift. Annoying, yes, but mostly harmless. Oh and don't try to pull "oh but governments can use this for surveillance" yes they could but as someone who has held a job a federal level tax office, they do not have the budget for profiling people like this and a corrupt government has cheaper and better options.

    I will try my best to respect your opinion and what you think a "right to privacy" means but I have great trouble understanding the paranoia
