Agree 100%, your outlook on life is completely in your control.

You can literally just "choose" to be happy, assuming there are no big mental health barriers in the way.

Or rather, you can choose behaviors and perspectives that influence your emotional state, even when you can't directly command the emotion itself.

No, it's not easy. Controlling your emotions can be very difficult, but that is actually how it works if you think hard enough about it.


My understanding is that's basically all this does.

Thousands of lines of text just to add one sentence to the prompt.


This is a known feature that is not hidden which is not automatically turned on by default.

You must set your TV to a different standby mode and enable LG voice control.

When you do this, it very plainly tells you that it can listen with the screen off so you can control the TV with voice.

Failure of User Awareness, not some nefarious spyware.


No, you're not up to date with the latest news. There's a separate feature that records you all the time, transcribes it to text and uses it to select ads for you

Do you have a source for this claim?

The gamer's nexus investigation

Sometimes a fandom site I come across is legitimate and has tons of great information, and other times they completely make up fake games or features and just act like it was always real.

The last time I tried to use LibreOffice, I made three hours worth of comments on a Word document.

As soon as I saved the document, they all vanished.

Then the developers mocked me for complaining.

Now I just use real MS Office in a snapshotted virtual machine, because it works every time and loads just as fast.


I cannot visit most crimeflare sites because I just get endless captcha loops.

The trick is to use the most normal hardware, software and network connection you can think of. Which I assume you aren't doing for ideological reasons, which is fair.

My ISP seems to frequently rotate IPs with other people who can't behave, so my IPs always have garbage reputation... that probably has a lot to do with it as well.

How do I know this? I have received reports from various websites (and manually queried some public block lists/RBL/etc.) that my IP range was blocked due to all sorts of different things like open proxies, CSAM etc. even if I've never visited that site before, and I know just from being a neteng that that such traffic is not originating from my devices/router and I don't have any observably compromised devices or suspicious traffic when monitoring it.


This is common for third-world ISPs. Cloudflare would never block, say, Comcast, but they have no qualms about blocking the few largest ISPs in Brazil because who cares about Brazil? Those countries also have IP address shortages because we refused to move the whole internet to ipv6 yet, and may share just a few addresses per city.

I'm more concerned about crimeflare's own incentive to analyze our traffic that people already willingly let them MITM, and somehow sell it to the highest bidder.

How was it actually factored though? Where is the code for that? How was the private key created and how are the new certs issued?

The author mentions CADO-NFS right in the article: https://cado-nfs.gitlabpages.inria.fr/

Yes but used how? What is the exact configuration and details for reproducing this?

That's a good point. I've added to the post. It's simple enough I'd expect anyone who wants to do it can follow the docs from CADO-NFS, which are very good, but I can write it down explicitly.

Install CADO-NFS per upstream directions.

Get the number you want to factor. I just did this in a python repl, something like:

    from cryptography import x509
    f = open("gold-server.pem", "rb").read()
    print(x509.load_pem_x509_certificate(f).public_key().public_numbers().n)

That gets you the `n` to factor - The big number below.

Then pass it to CADO-NFS. The full invocation for the server root was:

    ./cado-nfs.py 10754123440737946604182274398563307850262685121187325065132187145895199633213947273310647001521000121802425390193123548314361970563322281259804690831526167 -t 32 --workdir /data/cert1

All run in a tmux to keep it alive for the few days, of course.

There are some projects that only release sources as a flat tarball at the same time as a new release, no git history/repo is available.
