    Loneliness Has Escalated Into A Social Epidemic

    You notice it a lot now. People only seem to care about money, getting ahead, being better than others, bragging about possessions/wealth/1 upmanship, being ‘first’ in everything. And it means nothing. People are terrified of obscurity and will take individualistic and selfish behaviour over...

    Investigatory Powers Bill or "Snoopers' Charter" has been approved

    My question is about if they have all the tech in place already to be collecting what would be huge amounts of data.

    So are ISPs now actually collecting all these logs? I can't imagine it would be a simple thing to implement.

    T2 : Trainspotting

    This is one of those films that should never have a sequel, tbh. It was very much of the time period and should be left to stand on its own.

    Call of Duty 2016 ( Infinite Warfare)

    I see the price for IW is dropping and dropping - I assume the sales were really that bad!

    If you think about the number of ways routers in these backbone data centres can be compromised (custom firmware, back door access) id imagine OVH have been done long ago. I've read stories of ciscos being hijacked mid delivery, back doors added and then sent on their way. This law isn't about...

    I think it will end up becoming a heroes, except heroes had a good first season overall before going down the pan.

    And the funny thing is, isps probably all hook into an aws/Google/azure service who are storing all this data and use something like elastic search to index it.

    People are just sleep-walking into this stuff, too much "doesn't affect me" attitude. A side effect of capitalism. They'll only care when it happens to them.

    I stopped watching after about episode 3 or 4, I didn't care about any of the characters and the theme has been done to death over the years in other series and better and it this just seemed to meander and have really uninteresting scenes between the violence, which for me became a bit...

    Also, given the fact most people now get a dynamic IP from their isp, it would make it hard to prove dodgy traffic wasn't from you, unless you unplug the router every night. Given the amount of people that use vpns every day, the very fact you're using one doesn't automatically say you're doing...

    Wish them good luck with that, since a huge amount of businesses use them for staff to securely access their data. Plus for them to technically do it would be very difficult.

    The worrying part is also that future governments will abuse the logs for other purposes and use them for prosecutions, etc, or just sell it to the corporate market. This data could also be used to build up a picture of what you may think and your views about certain things which could become a...
