Corruption and Control: Turkmenistan turned internet censorship into a business

In July 2021, a sudden drop in Tor usage in Turkmenistan called our attention. Tor would come to understand that this marked the beginning of a new era of censorship and restriction in this post-Soviet country. But let's rewind... The Tor Community has long been defending internet freedom, running relays and providing bridges to combat internet censorship. Over the years, the Tor Project has called for action to run more bridges, Snowflake proxies, while we've investigated and adapted our anti

Stone Age settlement found under the sea in Denmark

BAY OF AARHUS, Denmark (AP) — Below the dark blue waters of the Bay of Aarhus in northern Denmark, archaeologists search for coastal settlements swallowed by rising sea levels more than 8,500 years ago. This summer, divers descended about 8 meters (26 feet) below the waves close to Aarhus, Denmark’s second-biggest city, and collected evidence of a Stone Age settlement from the seabed. It’s part of a 13.2 million euro ($15.5 million) six-year international project to map parts of the seabed in

India’s Offgrid raises $15M to make lithium optional for battery storage

techcrunch.com Jagmeet Singh 2025-12-10 00:30:00

Lithium has become the default choice for battery-powered systems, but its limitations — from volatile supply chains to short lifespans — are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Offgrid Energy Labs, a deep-tech startup based in India, wants to make lithium less central, especially when it comes to battery storage. The seven-year-old startup, incubated at IIT Kanpur, has developed a proprietary zinc-bromine-based battery system as an alternative to lithium-ion technology. Called ZincGel,

The Tragic End of Natalia Nagovitsyna's Ordeal on Pobeda Peak

Although the fate of Russian climber Natalia Nagovitsyna, stranded at 7,150m on Kyrgyzstan’s Pobeda Peak since August 12, has been obvious for several days, the last wisps of hope ended today. A few hours ago, a military drone captured thermal imaging footage of Nagovitsyna’s tent on Pobeda Peak. The images, published on the official website of the State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan (GKNB), revealed no signs of life in her tent.

While we expect Apple to unveil AirPods Pro 3 alongside iPhone 17 and Apple Watch Series 11 next week, there’s one new feature that may not be ready for showtime.

Using JWT to establish a trusted context for Row Level Security

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-06 09:32:51

Row-level security (RLS) is a great feature. It allows restricting access to rows by applying filters defined by a policy. It’s a tool useful for cases when the data set can’t be split into separate databases. Sadly, using RLS may be quite cumbersome. RLS requires some sort of “trusted context” for the RLS policies. The policies need to filter using data the user can’t change. If the filter uses some sort of “tenant ID”, and the user can change it to an arbitrary value, that would break the RLS
