I don’t get it. I go to Reddit to talk about various things, I go to Netflix to watch movies and tv. Why do both of these places have games available? Does anyone actually play them‽

I’m so tired of this bs. Like every single website requires Cloudflare verification. I’m not even using a VPN. It makes web browsing so slow

I live in an HOA condo, ranch home type unit. I thought I'd have a simple Astound internet install.

But turns out in addition to the hole needing to be drilled into my siding, the coax cable needs to be run from the box that's in my neighbors yard (25 feet away) across the common yard and a common sidewalk.

Astound says they'll have the line running over my sidewalk temporarily until they come back in a week to bury it.

Is this typical, or something that's considered very involved?

I don't want to get hit with any HOA fees, issues or liability. Astound said their equipment, their liability & financial responsibility, I pay and am responsible for nothing.

I'm going to submit for HOA approval, but I'm still concerned about any trouble that can happen.

I been searching for HOURS and I can’t find the TTS used. Please help

Hello everyone, could someone please help me and give me an advice about what am I doing wrong with this simple ethernet connection?

I have a cable trough the wall and need to have it as a main source of ethernet for the rest of the rooms. It starts as a wall-mounted female port which converts to a male one that goes to another router to split the ethernet. However, I am struggling to make it work.

The pictures are tests I was doing to figure out what the correct color combination should be but it seems to not be working regardless of how I connect it. I am using a CAT 6A cable and the ports are also CAT 6 compatible.

Thanks in advance.

hello, I'm a hobbyist developer, still learning how the internet's plumbing works. 

I thought, "Wouldn't it be fun to walk through the structure of the internet as a space instead of a map?" and "Wouldn't it be fun to visit pages starting from an IP address?" So I built RAW, a cyberspace that runs in your browser. I made it myself, so this is my own project. 

- Real BGP activity from RIPE RIS Live, shown in real time 

- Each AS gets its own node; the lines between ASes get thicker with the number of peers 

- Lists like Spamhaus are layered on top to show the network's dark side (Shadow Layer) 

- Only when you press the button, it highlights your path through the routing table (an estimate based on BGP tables, not a measured route) 

It also has some stories about the internet, written with AI's help.

I'm learning as I go, so if I've got any terminology or interpretation wrong, please point it out.

And if you could see one thing about the internet drawn as a space, what would it be?

....If it stayed out, how long would it be before you went around and tried to find out what was REALLY going on......a day? 2 days?

Governments and Musk have already played their parts in flicking off the Internet when it suits them, but whether it be due to their political agendas, or it goes down permanently (out of the govt's control), it wont be long (1 or 2 days) before people begin absolutely begin losing their minds ....

Is there any use to even make a plan...I always thought preppers would maybe last a week before somebody comes to take their shit.

"At bottom, you see, we are not Homo sapiens at all. Our core is madness. The prime directive is murder. What Darwin was too polite to say, my friends, is that we came to rule the earth not because we were the smartest, or even the meanest, but because we have always been the craziest, most murderous motherfuckers in the jungle."

Hey everyone! I recently built a simple website to download YouTube videos in different quality options All completely for free with no ads .

Would appreciate it if you gave it a try and shared any feedback!

Someone has been trying to get into an account similar to a Microsoft account or a Microsoft account.

For years, I mean years, I have received codes I never requested that claim I or someone else requested it for a password change. However, it is not every day. They've started again. They don't have my password but it is much easier to crack a code that only runs from 000000 to 999999 instead of cracking a password that runs from "FRLG.ips" to "Serial$$36Lain1188".

Because they send so many, it appears their attack method on me, and on others, is to just keep sending the code and entering in a 6-digit code blindly until it matches with the code sent to me which they are incapable of accessing. In other words, they could keep entering the code 804404 until the code in my emails is indeed 804404.

How can this be stopped? How can a company, Msft, stop this?

The probability of only one attempt is 1/1000000. However, if they keep doing it, which they are, the probability (independent of prior failed attempts) of their serial attempts on the next day is actually 1/80000. This means if they have 20000 targets at once, and attack for the following four days in a row, they should succeed in getting access to around one account. How can this be stopped?

Those of you unable to get in it's not just you.

Today's problem is a global cyber issue with php.

Steenbok is on the case.

I have such a novice understanding of tech—my phone and computer might as well be magic in my mind. I’ve got my emails, my drive of documents and photos in Google, a bank account… I don’t feel particularly vulnerable but obviously I’d like to be safe. What simple actions could I take right now to insulate myself from the potential fallout of the vulnerabilities exposed today?
