I will gladly welcome the eventual IPv4 extinction, but unfortunately I'm pretty confident it won't happen for another 30 years.

I think that's basically what Lightsail is supposed to be. I haven't used it myself, but from glancing at it they're pretty clearly targeting DO/Linode/Vultr etc.

I'm particularly interested in why several languages show up on both lists, namely SQL, Scala, Haskell, Shell, and HTML if you count it. One possible explanation (that supports the author's main thesis) would be that three out o

Threading in group IM's seems to be one of the more polarizing UX discussions that I've come across. A while back I was reading some of the discussions the Matrix people were having about implementing a threading model, where it b

I feel like I'm missing something here. It seems like ECH is still vulnerable to a MITM attack, allowing the attacker to see what SNI destination the user is attempting to connect to. I'm imagining something like this: Client send

I think the previous comment was taking issue with your use of the word "violently."

I think it does do that, actually. Definitely better in that it can be used without internet access, but I will admit that I have been guilty of thinking "if I'm going to be opening a browser anyway, might as well just google the

That's awesome, glad to hear it! Sounds like a really positive development for long-term viability.

Just out of curiosity: the press releases I've seen about these big government players switching to Matrix generally mention that they're using a customized client of some sort. That's understandable, but what I want to know

I'm not as sure about that, given the extent of the chaos that ensues every time S3 goes down for half a day.

The announcement briefly mentioned that they are working on a "super resolution" feature, but specifically what that is has so far been left as an exercise for the viewer. It sounds like it might be a competitor for DLSS, but only

FF defaults to DNS-over-HTTPS now, so I would imagine it does, although I can't find solid confirmation.

I've tried both. I ended up going with Tailscale because: - Better throughput overall. - better NAT holepunching. E.g. ZeroTier gives up entirely with "symmetric NAT" where each outbound connection gets a random source port,

The GPL, in particular, goes further than just refusing to exercise your copyright over a piece of software. The GPL restricts the usage of your software, most notably by forbidding its use as part of any proprietary software. Without copyr

I think it's that JS has no standard library, so dependency graphs are an endless fan-out instead of fanning back in after a while. That's how you end up with 900 dependencies after importing a single Node module, because every au

Personally, I'm more comfortable with a service that has entire teams whose entire job is finding and fixing holes in the service than I am with something I toss on a server somewhere and forget about for months at a time. Realisticall

Are you on IPv6 by any chance? I got the same thing, despite being in SoCal. I saw that the site was showing my IPv6 address, so I checked a couple of location databases and I'm getting results that are way off. A couple say New Jersey

I think the unit is just one of those weird dimensional equivalences that pop up from time to time. E.g. fuel efficiency in cars is measured as distance / volume (of fuel consumed), so it's dimensionally equivalent to area^-2. But

Just anecdotally, I wouldn't be surprised if a Camry really were "more valuable" (as measured by some sort of ideal fixed value-marker not subject to inflation) than in 1990. I seem to recall when I was growing up that the av

The Windows port of OpenSSH does this too, now. It backs its version of ssh-agent with the windows credential store so that you don't have to type any more passwords after you login.

An interesting takeaway from the comparisons shown is that AVIF seems to be much better about getting rid of detail without creating artifacts. It's particularly evident in the second example photo, where the original has a lot of det

It actually improves performance. Or at least, it comes along with a set of performance improvements that give you ordering for free. Raymond Hettinger has a great talk on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npw4s1QTmPg&amp

I really only have two questions about this case: 1) The US legal code explicitly excludes "methods of operation" from being copyrightable. Does an API count as "methods of operation"? And if so, what ground does Oracl
