Actually that switch has hardware accelerated routing as well with RouterOS 7 IIRC. Take a look at the test results, for large packets that router will still do over 10G throughput with 25 ip filter rules. With no queues or rules it'll

Yes, even the most efficient natural gas plants aren't going to come close to the efficiency of a modern condensing gas water heater. For the water heater it's just a matter of a single heat exchange process from the exhaust to th

Yeah that's some pretty widespread spalling on the garage deck. Regardless of what went wrong, I'd be surprised if rust jacking or just plain section loss of the rebar wasn't a principle factor behind the collapse. All of tha

It would only apply in federal court, there are nuances surrounding the fact that the offer must have been unilaterally better than the actual judgement (i.e. if the offer came with an NDA attached, the judgement probably wouldn't). He

IIRC, so long as you made a settlement offer early on in the process for some low value, from that point onwards if the case eventually gets decided in the defendant's favor or even if it doesn't but the judgement awarded is less

By "wipe your disks" I meant issue a secure erase assuming you have a SSD like Intel's where it would overwrite an encryption key and be done in short order. The contents of RAM in this scenario shouldn't be particularly

Look into PAM configuration. In particular I think you'd probably want some combination of pam_faillock and pam_exec. pam_exec can be used to call some arbitrary script to wipe your disks and possibly be extra evil and call flashrom to

I just really wish Google would have built QUIC on top of SCTP. They had the clout, and opportunity to push for real end-to-end SCTP support across the internet. Tunnel it over UDP for IPv4 and userspace implementations but use native SCTP

Non-lethal traps like what he's proposing are legal and surprisingly commonplace. A ton of banks have dye packs hidden inside wads of cash that explode after a bank robber makes off with the money. There's also anti-vandal paint t

It's still a valid point, a prosecutor is the one presenting a case to a grand jury and has ample opportunity to tip the scales towards indictment or not. It's not like the accused have any similar opportunity to present their cas
