How did the user space redirection handle potentially high spikes of execve's?

And btw, thanks for all the years of debian-administration.org.

Mental performance information is as private as it gets.

While this post is from years ago, it is very relevant today; Lumosity has been incessantly advertising through NPR and I was actually thinking looking into them.

I had hopes that perhaps this is for pay app and was considering how to handle app privacy. Clearly not going to happen.

This time the source of the problem is poorly written PHP code. It's still in my list of tabs to finish reading.

I wish MUDs would have done better because interactive text games would provide much needed variety for brains that the currently graphics dominated games.

It seems that with 1.1pre3 or 4 they have gotten a new, experimental protocol. Hopefully it is an improvement.

Btw, thank you for the boundary devices link. The only weakness against Utilite is one Ethernet nic vs two.

However one wants to define 'directly from the servers of' or 'direct access' I think for all intents and purposes it means the same thing.

But yeah, until they see negative results, I doubt majority is going to start caring.

In general, technically minded people who care about privacy like to see these kinds of solutions in open source form or there will be heavy resistance to trust it.

EA has in its bowels made a choice that Sim City fans will become its new cash cow. They will be now free to sell you the game and turn it off when they choose that releasing another version is more profitable. They easily could have allowed the game to function without inputs from neighboring areas or could have simulated it.

As a Sim City fan I am deeply disappointed since I have fond memories playing the game from the very first release. But these days I have chosen to only support and reward companies who do not make relationship with their customers a power play.

Somewhere I read a quote: People under surveillance, are already imprisoned.

The first step is to understand that one is under surveillance.

I've looked at my own traffic and how much content useful for storing I'd have and it's probably less than 500Mbytes per month. And that's counting downstream and upstream.

But net is not the only thing NSA is interested in storing - banking, other records, communications over satellites, etc goes in there as well.

What's truly scary is people are sort of "meh" about this. Or they don't believe that this is really happening, as most of this thread seems to be the case in point.

A very important point to discuss. While I don't know specifically his change of behavior there are more widely known cases to discuss.

For example Soviet Union and East Germany. I can tell you that the behavior of people was different, especially on the phone where part of the surveillance took place. Youth, being mostly ignorant about that in some cases got their parents in trouble which in turn affected parents' behavior at home.

I think the takeaway from these and other cases is that public's change of behavior is function of security services' activities (corrupt or not). All it takes is several known cases of visits from the authorities about things one said over the voip or im conversation. Or the authorities pressuring their catch for money or cooperation in unrelated case to 'help them out'.

I also think this directly affects how free we feel. If we would constantly have to guard what we write in e-mails as to not to be remotely connected to what might be seen as mentioning the current enemy of choice, then some freedom is lost.
