ExpressVPN vs. Proton VPN: Two of the Best VPNs for Privacy Go Head-to-Head

Not every VPN cares about your privacy. But if you’re looking for a VPN that takes your privacy seriously, ExpressVPN and Proton VPN are among the best -- and specifically ones I recommend most to people with critical privacy needs. While Proton VPN offers a few additional privacy features like double VPN and Tor over VPN servers that ExpressVPN lacks, ExpressVPN includes forward-thinking privacy protections like post-quantum encryption, which Proton VPN doesn’t provide.

Sep 25 2025 Some interesting stuff I found on IX LANs These days the internet as a whole is mostly constructed out of point to point ethernet circuits, meaning an ethernet interface (mostly optical) attached directly from one routing device to another routing device. However that is not always the case, as the humble “internet exchange” (IX) still exists, and while the relevancy of IXs are progressively being diminished by the internet increasingly being concentrated into a small handful of c

A Collision With Another Planet Could Have Allowed for Life on Earth

wired.com Jorge Garay 2025-10-21 02:00:00

the Earth you walk on today might not be the same planet that was born 4.5 billion years ago. Many scientists believe that in its infancy, Earth collided with another world the size of Mars, and that instead of being destroyed, it was transformed, incorporating the mass of that foreign body to become the planet we know. Recent research adds another layer of relevance to that hypothesized cosmic event: Scientists believe that without that other body, the basic conditions for life to emerge on Ear

Scientists Finally ‘See’ a Proton Move Through Water, and It Only Took 200 Years

For over two centuries, scientists have known that water transports a positive charge through protons. But they had never actually seen it happen—until now. In a Science paper published September 11, Yale researchers reported that they devised a method to track, measure, and effectively “see” a proton’s journey through water. For the experiment, the team used a 30-foot-long mass spectrometer—an instrument that separates different elements by mass—that took years to customize and refine. The dev

Protobuffers Are Wrong (2018)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-10 15:25:10

I’ve spent a good deal of my professional life arguing against using protobuffers. They’re clearly written by amateurs, unbelievably ad-hoc, mired in gotchas, tricky to compile, and solve a problem that nobody but Google really has. If these problems of protobuffers remained quarantined in serialization abstractions, my complaints would end there. But unfortunately, the bad design of protobuffers is so persuasive that these problems manage to leak their way into your code as well. Ad-Hoc and Bu

WebRTC gave us interactivity. Each solved a specific problem for its time, and together they power the global streaming ecosystem we rely on today.
