Android, the world's most popular mobile operating system, will soon enable a security protocol that helps keep internet service providers (ISPs) from spying on users. "DNS over TLS" adds a level of encryption to your DNS requests that are (mostly) inaccessible by your ISP.
[...] Using current methods, the requests happen through UDP or TCP protocols, not the more secure TLS. When Android makes the switch, you'll get the same results, only now with HTTPS-level security. That is to say, snoops now know when you've connected to a website, but not which one. Pornhub, for example, is the same as Gmail. Or, it is for the person spying on you. You'll still have to live with the fact you're watching Pokemon Go porn (safe-ish for work).

Oh God, that's horrible. I hope no recruiters catch wind of this.

I know, right? Recruiters are the best. Always calling every day to offer you money for jobs that do not even exist because managers neglected to budget for headcount when posting fake jobs. You might even make it to a fake interview. You sure as shit will not get a fucking job. But those recruiters, man, they tell you the job market is great right now so submit your right to represent form right away.
There is no spoon.
There are no jobs.
Fuck MDC.

I have no clue where they get that figure. Portland is just not that big a city.

If the position isn't in the region that the C-TRAN and TriMet public transport serves, I mark them as spam.
This turned out to work remarkable well. I do still receive some inquiries, which now are mostly located in places I can get to on the bus and light rail.

Perfect! Now fix the problem of jobs being posted "in" the location from which candidates are sought instead of where the job actually is. Also fix the problem of "no travel required, no relocation required" but "by the way the company has an office halfway across the country and you will be expected to fly there on demand."
I await your genius solution to blatant dishonesty.

Get them a piece of twine and ask them to bind it to that office halfway across the country, then drag it closer. That will teach them, the bastards.

The links are woefully out of date but the text explains my thinking.
tl;dr: I expect The Global Computer Employer index to render all the recruiters unemployable. I first publish the SC page in 1997. There are far fewer recruiters in Santa Cruz County than there were back then. I expect that I have some responsibility for that, but it's not easy to know for certain.
