Beware of IP justification and your personal data being abused

[rds100]

People who don't want their personal information to be publicly visible in ARIN's or RIPE's database should use a single IP. People who need a subnet should be aware and should be prepared to have the subnet swiped and their information will be publicly visible by anyone checking the whois information for that subnet. I think it's common sense.

Common sense to you... but not to MANY folks.    So let it serve as a public notice of sorts for them.

Goons in suits that algorithms could have replaced 15 years ago.

Yeah, but that probably applies to at least ~99% of the government/corporate world. Kind of a futile angle to take unless you have a way to replace all of their jobs with automation without making their families go hungry.

Not my problem if they need to find a job... They didn't give two shits when they pushed companies in manufacturing abroad (on their suit watch) and allowed good to come back into the US and Canada absent tarriffs to level the field.  Which cost millions of middle class jobs in developed countries.


Desk workers are next to have their skinny necks on the chopping block.  Generating reams of paper and chatting doesn't generate much tangible value.  The average unwashed masses are eventually going to give no regard about the 'educated' hierarchy and their importance theater and demand they go...

QuickPacket is good people.  Nope, not them.   This was just a general heads up.

Dunno, I have nothing against them and was reconsidering a dedi today, but then noticed this in their ToS:

23. QuickPacket makes no guarantee of confidentiality or privacy of any information transmitted through or stored upon QuickPacket technology, and makes no guarantee that any other entity or group of users will be included or excluded from QuickPacket's network. In addition, QuickPacket may periodically monitor transmissions over its network for maintenance, service quality assurance or any other purpose permitted by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, P.L. No. 99-508, as amended.

Am not a lawyer, but far as I can tell it seems to contradict their privacy policy to some extent:

Will you ever sell my details to another company?



Absolutely not! We will never sell or share your information with a third-party not outlined on this page.
