  For those who are interested in the technical aspects of #censorship evasion: someone posted on r/selfhosted. The author talks about leveraging a "jumper" box that's within a domestic datacenter. That one has a tunnel to a foreign hosting service. It adds latency, but it's a reliable solution. Another interesting aspect I learned about the censorship system from the post is that the nation in question has a "whitelist" mode that gets enabled on demand. (Regional) Int...

  #NVIDIA published a blog post where they present GQE, a GPU-based query engine. Querying data from databases with GPU accelleration is beyond cool, and will certainly optimize the storage requirements for #bigdata due to enabling for more efficient compression algorithms. Here is the blog post: Designing GPU-Accelerated Query Engines with NVIDIA GQE #bigdata #databases #polars #pandas #datascience

  Anyone else heard about the sourvereign, and alternative #DNS #TLD chn. ? There is a #Wikipedia article in Chinese. I am unsure if it is actually something actively pursued in #China to step up their #Internet #control game. Or if it was merely a financial asset to attract venture capital? Would love some insights from more knowledable people. #askfedi #askinfosec #askmastodon #censorship #cn

  Found out about a project with millions of randomly generated links. The author explained how #Facebook's scraping bot hit it's page 38 million times. All while the company itself claims that their bot only crawls pages that are shared on their platforms. Why is there so much dishonesty in some hyperscaling tech companies? Other crawlers are also listed in a short write-up by the author. #infosec #crawler #llm #meta

  Fancy, the authoritative nameservers for the xyz. TLD are as follows: x.nic.xyz y.nic.xyz z.nic.xyz generationxyz.nic.xyz How fun. I never thought of the #TLD as being a pun to demographic cohorts. #DNS #ICANN #nameservers
