according to the GHCQ team set up to monitor Huawei's kit for the UK market, Huawei are not in league with anyone, their kit is just so insecure world+dog could get in wothout too much effort.
The real reason the Cheeto in Chief wants to block them is there is NO US company that is even watching the same game, let alone in the same ballpark as their wireless infrastructure technology.
the only firms that are anywhere near are Nokia and Ericson, and samsung are catching up, CISCO dont even hit the top 10.
DPD are by far the best of a bad bunch, and if you have the app you can follow the driver to your door. they also give you a pretty acurate window of whe they will get there too.
they are infinitley better than the alternatives:
TNT aka Take Nothing Today (apparently my offfice gets assigned to a dead round)
DHL aka Damaged Hijacked or Lost (loads of packages just dont make it, including an XBOX that reappeared in the depot once a chase was ent)
UPS aka Undoutably packages stolen (dissapeared all the time)
but my local firm have replaced the nice operators with an impenatrable IVR, that states your last five destinations and pickups and hangs up on you if you want something different.
Their App on the other hand is at least as good as the above mentioned, and doesent suffer from 3.4x surge pricing, as rates are regulated by the council
If you're using nat on the router anyway, why faf on with IPv6 inside your network.
v4 addresses are easier to deal with and there's little chance you'll use more than a 10.0.0.0/8
And dual stack on the router is not so hard ...
if people were not holding on to IPv4 unnesacarily, IPv4 would last some time yet, however, some minor tweaks to add more AS numbers would be nessacary.
a lot of IPv6 has back ported to v4 over the years, and the address space is exorbitant. I really dont see we will need to give 7 addresses to each atom of each person on earth and the space that takes up in headers is just a waste of resources and bad for the environment.
<quote>deploying strong encryption helps paedophiles Everybody </quote>
yeah some of them happen to be peadophiles, but the vast majority are age appropriate loving, peoples with a right to privacy.
interpol only wants to backdoor encryption because its too much like hard work to capture one of the endpoints.
All content management systems are as bad as each other.
Its just sloppy work to let someone else do the work for you.
Drupal, Joomla, Magento, Wordpress, they are all full of holes, if you compare the cve count, its roughly relative to the popularity (i.e. how much efort is being put into breaking it)
while in the world of AMD, TSMC's 7nm process is producing the speeds and feeds from the Zen3. if Intel do ever get their 7nm process working, they might have a chance to keep the market, but with ARM and RISC V both producing for the enterprise, and making gains on the speed and power side, inless they sort it soon-ish, they are going to have to resort to the dirty tricks box again.
Ok so using the VPN the VPN provider gets the meta data, if you use either DoH or DoT then only the server gets to see the request, if you use DNSSEC on top, only the server you choose gets to see the request, this is why the protocols were developed.
With the way hosting works and TLS by knowing which IP you're talking to, you could be talking to any one of 100s of different sites.
The reason Google did it, is your second point. for Google more data = more $$$$ and if they combine the DNS queries with the other data they can resolve you a lot better
^^^ This is the key difference DoT identifes as control plane traffic at layer 3 to distinguish DoH from web traffic you have to look at layer 5 at least.
you can make port level decisions in asics, whereas you need cpu time to make application level distinction, and in delay sensitive applications that can make all the difference.
DoT allows you to prioritise DNS over general web traffic and allows you to service it on a seperate port too, this you cant do with DoH.
DoT is just as encrypted, as DoH, but quicker and less resouce intensive to implement, so it saves energy time and capability, making it better for battery life and minimisation, and better for the environment.
DoT is the logical choice, but this is being lead by browser makers, they dont see traffic till it hits layer 6 (or occasionally 5) and they dont understand what goes on between the client and the server.
