🚨 LaLiga is Breaking Spain's Internet in the Name of "Anti-Piracy"

¿Hay ahora fútbol?

Real-time monitoring of LaLiga's IP blocks affecting Spanish internet users.

Spanish courts gave LaLiga carte blanche to block entire IP ranges during football matches, supposedly to fight streaming piracy. The result? Massive collateral damage - legitimate businesses, government sites (including Spain's Royal Academy), research centers, and even football clubs' own websites get blocked. LaLiga blocks around 3,000 IP addresses every weekend, using a sledgehammer approach that takes down CDN nodes hosting both illegal streams AND perfectly legal content. Despite 26+ million takedown notices in H1 2025, only 11% of flagged streams actually go offline. The site **hayahora.futbol** lets you check if your domain is caught in LaLiga's overly broad net. This isn't about "four geeks" - it's about fundamental internet infrastructure being weaponized by a sports league with zero accountability. For example

To vibe or not to vibe

> The discourse about to what level AI-generated code should be reviewed often feels very binary. Is vibe coding (i.e. letting AI generate code without looking at the code) good or bad? The answer is of course neither, because “it depends”. So what does it depend on? When I’m using AI for coding, I find myself constantly making little risk assessments about whether to trust the AI, how much to trust it, and how much work I need to put into the verification of the results. And the more experience I get with using AI, the more honed and intuitive these assessments become. ...

You are the only impostor. One wrong word and they'll tear you apart. - 0xd3ba/among-llms

Among LLMs turns your terminal into a chaotic chatroom playground where you’re the only human among a bunch of eccentric AI agents, dropped into a common scenario -- it could be Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Thriller, Crime, or something completely unexpected. Each participant, including you, has a persona and a backstory, and all the AI agents share one common goal -- determine and eliminate the human, through voting. Your mission: stay hidden, manipulate conversations, and turn the bots against each other with edits, whispers, impersonations, and clever gaslighting. Outlast everyone, turn chaos to your advantage, and make it to the final two. Can you survive the hunt and outsmart the AI?

A nation state with control over a Certificate Authority could create SSL certs for any domain and easily perform a MITM. That's the risk. First idea that comes to mind to mitigate it, would be to at least pin domains to CAs so that a random CA controlled by a nation state can't issue a new certificate for any domain without going unnoticed. This might be overkill and apparently is not a good idea: - PKI has significantly improved - browser vendors (Google, Mozilla, Apple, Microsoft) now strictly control CA trust stores and remove non-compliant CAs - Certificate Transparency - all certificates must be publicly logged, making rogue certificates detectable - CAA records - DNS records that specify which CAs can issue certificates for a domain - Pinning creates major operational risks - misconfigured pins can cause complete outages that are difficult to recover from But just out of curiosity, I'm trying a Firefox add-on that notifies you every time something changes in the certificate of a website that you had already visited. It can be configured to only notify you on a change of the issuer. So if a website goes from Let's Encrypt CA to CCP CA, you should worry xD Here's the extension:
