I know that SpamHaus is using this dataset as a large (at times sole) contributor to their blocklists. So corporate buyers are doing exactly what you describe, albeit indirectly.

Lack of any IoCs also makes it hard to refute or remedy. Plus I think it paints even Tor relay nodes with the same brush as malicious proxies.

Truly kafkaesque if you start getting restricted and nobody tells you why or even knows what to tell you because the sources have all been mixed and obscured.


SpamHaus is using it as a large contributor to their blocklists, at times as the sole signal, just so you know.

What's stopping them from using a CA from any other sphere of influence though?

I feel like not being able to use US CAs is just a cheap excuse to enact what they've wanted for a while. Same in Russia.


China and many others run their own CAs, I'd presume Russians could use those if they wanted?

Russians didn't want to use those, until the West made it inevitable.

And why is that?

It's not that hard to find a CA in a more aligned regime.

Rolling your own MITM CA as a replacement just looks like something that was waiting for an excuse.


Violating the OFCOM restrictions will result in losing access to VISA/MC payments. No company wants this.

It's performant under specific workloads. Performance degrades a lot with safe multi-client usage.

I would even recommend separating all and any anime + animated movies from the rest. Different metadata sources, easier to browse.

There's just no mass-market appeal?

Large storage hyperscalers or whatever just use tape?

I can't wait for tape patents to expire.


I've had a few complaints, few auto-detections, managed to clear it all up quite easily thankfully.

However their IPv6 /128 allocation is horrendous. But I don't know anyone who does it all actually better.


They give you the full /64 even on vps or kimsufi(low end servers) it's just that the interface is configured with the ::1/128 by default in their cloud-init.

Their documentation about it is not consistent though, so the confusion is understandable.


You can also get a fully-featured shared web hosting package plus email for that price. 9€/mo is wack.

If it's a station (client) then it's unlikely, as long as your APs are compliant.

With some chipsets it can end up being entirely ass-backwards - if you use an Intel WiFi chipset, a nearby AP can broadcast the wrong region and cripple your connectivity.

Outdated regulatory databases and firmware efforts by vendors have generally made both illegal and legal usage beyond ch 1-12 at 2.4GHz rather difficult.
