    Many piracy sites run ads though, don’t they? Unless everyone visiting runs ad blockers (unlikely) the people running those are making at least some money. Presumably it at least covers the cost of running the sites.

    It’s probably just as the comment you replied to said: “stuff bought with stolen credit cards (and resold on those sites) actually costs us money, as opposed to piracy which merely ‘costs’ us money”.



  • I assume you mean the table on the last page of the paper, which indeed shows WireGuard is safe against the second attack.

    If you go back one page (to page 17) it has another table for the first attack. That one is less positive about WireGuard:

    • The good: On Linux/Android, WireGuard is safe against that one.
    • The bad: MacOs and iOs WireGuard are marked as vulnerable to that first attack.
    • The ugly: Windows is marked as “local traffic blocked” which presumably means the attack failed but so does the connection they tried to attack.

  • You produce a hundred 24 core cpus, then you test them rigorously. You discover that 30 work perfectly and sell them as the 24 core mdoel. 30 have between one and eight defective cores, so you block access to those cores and sell them as the 16 core model. Rinse and repeat until you reach the minimum number of cores for a saleable cpu.

    Except the ratios of consumer demand do not always match up neatly with the production ratios. IIRC there have been cases where they’ve overproduced the top model but expected not to be able to sell them all at the price they were asking for that model, and chose to artificially “cripple” some of those and sell them as a more limited model. An alternative sales strategy would have been to lower the price of the top model to increase demand for it, of course, but that may not always be the most profitable thing to do.

    If you’re using OpenSSH, the IdentityFile configuration directive selects the SSH key to use.

    Add something like this to your SSH config file (~/.ssh/config):

    Host github.com
      IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github_rsa
    
    Host gitlab.com
      IdentityFile ~/.ssh/gitlab_rsa
    

    This will use the github_rsa key for repositories hosted at github.com, and the gitlab_rsa key for repositories hosted at gitlab.com. Adjust as needed for your key names and hosts, obviously.
