It’s one thing to be critical of the feature.

But this is a pretty cut and dry announcement. There isn’t any ambiguity they could stand behind if they are lying.

I would fully expect it will be disabled by default (for now)

And it is disabled by default from my understanding.

kikoreis | karma 507 | avg karma 2.83 · | 2019-01-25 19:45:19+00:00

It's an option. And it's disabled by default.

necubi | karma 6052 | avg karma 8.38 · | 2016-05-12 15:25:08

Yes, it's disabled by default.

Lorin | karma 726 | avg karma 2.89 · | 2020-11-24 21:13:01+00:00

It's opt-out, meaning it will be enabled by default.

Less of a big deal than they’re trying to make it out to be, it’s disabled by default and a leftover debugging tool.

nextdns | karma 463 | avg karma 11.02 · | 2019-05-26 04:59:28+00:00

Right now it's disabled for everyone, it will be supported with an option to disable it.

FooBarWidget | karma 7524 | avg karma 2.79 · | 2009-07-12 11:01:53+00:00

So it's disabled by default?

mike_d | karma 10004 | avg karma 4.67 · | 2022-10-13 14:01:47

Are you? What is your source for it not being released as a feature to users?

I'm going off the documentation that says it is disabled by default because it is an alpha feature.

atoponce | karma 222 | avg karma 0.97 · | 2014-12-27 18:13:48+00:00

I already mentioned that it's opt-in, and disabled by default.

derkades | karma 199 | avg karma 1.69 · | 2023-03-09 17:52:37

It's disabled by default, and it's made clear that enabling it is a security risk

andywaite | karma 79 | avg karma 3.76 · | 2014-05-17 14:51:32+00:00

You're correct, I'm going to change it to be disabled by default.

kgraves | karma 1110 | avg karma 1.97 · | 2021-07-22 09:38:48

Complete clickbait, seems that this is based on an old article from last year as even the author admits.

> Yes, this feature is off by default in the latest releases.

So this is resolved then? No need for the faux outrage.

louhike | karma 1156 | avg karma 2.39 · | 2017-02-06 08:41:55

Isn't it disabled by default?

scruffyherder | karma 423 | avg karma 1.0 · | 2022-05-07 20:12:37

It's enabled by default. You have your facts wrong.

gchucky | karma 569 | avg karma 3.41 · | 2011-12-12 05:08:30+00:00

Er, the article says it's just an option that's enabled by default, and that you can disable it if you want.

autoexec | karma 14147 | avg karma 2.66 · | 2023-11-30 22:38:35

I agree. I'd have no issue with this if it were something people could disable and it was clearly disclosed and explained as the default.

_-david-_ | karma 2019 | avg karma 1.18 · | 2021-12-06 18:29:41

Unfortunately it is (or at least was) enabled by default.

selfhoster11 | karma 5178 | avg karma 1.98 · | 2021-09-20 21:02:06

Isn't it OK to offer that option, but disabled by default?

blauditore | karma 3061 | avg karma 3.84 · | 2018-06-01 16:56:54

I thought this will be disabled by default, no? If so, casual users would never get in touch with it in the first place.
