Tell HN: Uceprotect is extorting website owners 2 by goldenmember | 0 comments on Hacker News. I recently discovered by accident that our website was being blocked by Orange's security filters. After a quick check, I found that our IP address is listed on UCEPROTECT Level 3. The listing is based on the reputation of the entire ASN 14061 (DigitalOcean, US) [1]. In other words, even if your IP did nothing wrong, it will still be listed because of its ASN. If your site is innocent and listed only because it's hosted on DigitalOcean, UCEPROTECT offers to whitelist it for about $30/month or $108/year [2]. I checked the ASNs of several other popular hosting providers, and they're all listed too. So if your site is hosted on DigitalOcean or any other major provider, it's probably blacklisted as well. That can cut you off from customers on mobile networks like Orange, whose "cybersecurity protection" uses blacklists like UCEPROTECT to filter traffic. Honestly, in m...

New ask Hacker News story: What did Google do to its Linux terminal on Pixel phones

What did Google do to its Linux terminal on Pixel phones 3 by Steaglsz | 0 comments on Hacker News. You can't use the app without having the permissions "always on" for microphone and nearby divices I also think they changed the internal language because the terminal app used w3m up until the recent 753 mb forced-update. So after a few months of learning what w3m was, it wasn't even installed anymore in the freshly updated terminal app I also can't figure out what needs to be turned on/off to prevent the terminal app from crashing if I leave it idle for more than a few minutes The solution is to just use termux, but the pixel was a work horse when combined with the text based web.
