Somewhat related but I feel really sad that IPv6 is so slow to be adopted. IPv4 scarcity is going to increase centralization as it’s going to cost more than ever to even operate an AS. It’s pretty much going to be impossible to run an AS as

It feels like the places where security is of utmost importance like in banking, security cards or health are the worst at doing it. At least, lack of security of credit cards is understandable as banks are profiting from fraud by charging

“Browser” does not mean “sandbox” though.

IHMO lying / being vague is never good when trying to educate someone. Non-technical people are not dumb and can understand what a sandbox is.

You can only put CNAME records at the zone APEX if there is no other records kinds as a CNAME is supposed to be a synonymous. If you had records such as: @ IN A 127.0.0.1 @ IN CNAME example.org. The server could not answer anything se

> I still advise clients to use www rather than a plain domain name for websites And you should. Not only can’t you put CNAME at the zone APEX without doing nasty tricks but not doing so is also a security risk when dealing with cookies.

Infinite scrolling is the worst. It’s such a pain to be forced to open all links inside new tabs as most implementations in the wild are breaking the “previous page” functionality of browsers. It’s such a joy to have to scroll down n time

> No replication involved. The backup is just a bunch of sql statements to recover the last known state of the database. You probably should look up the definition of “replication”.

A backup is a replication of the live dataset, although, usually out of sync to be useful when the main dataset goes bad.

There is none as the “I” in “AI” is a fallacy. “AI” is like blockchain, mostly useless technology that wastes huge amount of resources where there’s almost always better and way simpler solutions except in very marginal use cases.
