Soon there'll be a marketplace, where you can, for a few dollars, "hire a dev". They will use their identity documents and help you in obtaining a signing certificate.
This is already what’s happening on iOS devices. Signing services like Signulous[1] basically buy a bunch of developer licenses, and registers your devices on it. The keys eventually end up getting revoked, obviously.
You are not forcing them if it's mentioned in the gig description before the offer is taken: I need someone to mow my lawn, with this lawn mower, at this time. Those are the details of the gig offer, take it or leave it, and complete it in anyway that meets the requirements of the gig. No different then I need someone to walk my dog, with this leash collar, at this time, and use this biodegradable bag. Or should the dog walker bring his own leash...
Except where mandated by state law, gig workers do not receive the gig description until after it is accepted. There is no transparency about details such as price or duration when they must make the decision to take it or leave it. Failure to accept a gig will result in penalization that significantly reduces your ability to receive more offers in the future.
You are not forcing them. Say you post a gig to craiglist, I need someone to mow my lawn, with this law mower, at this time. Those are the details of the gig offer, take it or leave it, and complete it in any way that meets the requirements of the gig
Except Craigslist doesn't take the pay from the gigs and then give a wage to those performing the gigs. Actually, Uber/Lyft/etc would be way less controversial if they operated similarly to Craigslist.
When I order an Uber I can never get a ride from a 1980 Ford truck or a snowmobile because those vehicles don't meet Uber's standards and I'm actually scheduling a gig with a representative of Uber who adheres to Uber's standards and acts in line with Uber's policies and takes pay from Uber that is disconnected from what I pay them. There is virtually nothing "independent" about the driver except they independently chose to work for Uber. Yet the driver still bears the costs of equipment maintenance and liability, which happens to be the exact costs that business newbies overlook the most. It's exploitative.
Is there a solution that is better than a failover which will not break the TPC connection for the client. Say I have two independent ISP routers, an offshore VPS with a
perfect stable connection, and an old video call software which disconnect the call when the TCP stream breaks. Is there a custom protocol that can retry packets on the other 2nd ISP connection, or even say duplicate all packets like RAID 1 for hard drives, and the VPS+Client will determine which packets made it and which didn't, ensuring perfect connections.
I've looked at Zerotier many times over the years. You are using this as your dedicated VPN to load balance multi WAN connections, is that what you are saying?
There is a redundant mode available, but even in default mode when a connection break you should not have any problem on TCP stream that will just use another available connection.
Correct. It's more like a VPN that bonds multiple commodity internet connections for better performance. OPENMPTCP tries to be as transparent as possible. There are a handful of servers on the internet that actually support end to end MPTCP as well so the above question is legitimate.
... isn't this exactly that? am i missing something from your comment?`to be clear using mptcp your packets will leave your gateway on redundant links simultaneously while keeping connection characteristics such as bandwidth latency reliability and availability separate afaict.
Yes, this is exactly that. I've been using that openwrt distribution to do just that for a year and it's been working out really great. The nice thing about the approach is that you get a boost in both bandwidth and reliability as there is always a link available for your packets.
The drawback is increased latency (about 60ms instead of 40 on each individual links) but openmptcprouter provides a nice tool to easily exclude specific services or devices from using the tunnel. My gaming packets and netflix are both setup to keep using the otherwise adsl link. (Netflix override is because their stupid geo check think my vps is a vpn endpoint used to mask my location).
Most likely the packet scheduling, I suppose the mpctp kernel module has sometimes to wait to get all packets in the right order.
Also, I am aggregating 2 4G link which might not help since both links send large packets of data infrequently if I understand correctly. Maybe aggregating 2 wired link would have lower increased latency cost.
In the end, I'm getting up to 40Mbits of bandwidth instead of being stuck with my 3MBits adsl link and I'm pretty happy.
that is actually somewhat impressive performance in my books. i would guess 4G links are inherently unstable regarding prediction of connection characteristics for proper scheduling... thanks for sharing your experience with that :)
Easy to go around that, companies will just pay an offshore company that can recover the decryption key (and they do so by using part of what you pay them to pay the ransom)
Why not just issue a warrant to drill a hole for a camera, or use other tech to passively see through walls?
Guess that takes away the fun of brute force entry and trigger happy law enforcement that needs to put their training to use.
There is precedent for a similar idea that worked well in criminal investigations. A documentary was made about it called Crack House USA https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1991025/ where law enforcement obtained property and the appropriate warrants for their investigation. A real slice of life.
It's not worth a rich person's time to solve captchas, while it is for a poor person. This has lead to captcha solving services, extensions plugins, etc, all which have high latency delay, not over a fast documented API. It would be 100 times easier if cloudfare/google let's you directly buy credits, at the mid-point price between current bid-ask spread, of say 50 cents per 1000 captchas, which would probably last you a few months to a year.
