It's not that the Z-Wave stick falls behind, when a Z-Wave device is broadcasting everything else has to go quiet (nature of RF), but the transmission speed is just very low, so when chatty devices (think sensors that report multiple b

The single protocol throughout my house was my primary goal too, just to reduce complexity of having to deal with multiple hubs and integrations... but with my new house I did away with that. Lutron Caseta for physical in-wall switches, IKE

That's less devices over a larger area than I had. My house was 1200 sq ft, with a little over 200 devices.

All the devices were Z-Wave+, it was the one thing I was buying for. Not all of them supported the new encryption standard which started rolling out after I deployed most of my switches. This was in a ~1400 sq ft house, with a little over 2

I was an early adopter for sure. This was back in 2016ish when I installed all of the devices. All of the devices were Z-Wave+ (specifically bought for that) but many of them did not support the newer encryption, and it ended up being a mix

My Thread devices are all HomeKit devices, and they work incredibly well. Once they are joined to the Thread network they show up as IPv6 devices in mDNS and just work. I have a ton of Thread enabled lightbulbs, smart outlets, and sensors o

Z-Wave's mesh networking was a giant pain to get functioning correctly, and good luck if devices were multiple hops away... things would just randomly fall off the network. With Zigbee (IKEA TRADFRI and Philips Hue) I haven' had a

I installed Z-Wave all over my house. Replaced all the switches, got the sensors, light bulbs where necessary, everything was Z-Wave... and it was a nightmare. I ended up selling the house with everything Z-Wave still in it, and the new own

You are conflating keep alive with http pipelining, they are not one and the same. Keep alive may be supported and servers may claim to have fully parses request 1 correctly so they can be fairly confident request 2 can be parsed correctly,

There is not, which is what leads to vulnerabilities where two HTTP protocol parsers will parse the same request in two different ways (which led to the HTTP desync attacks). https://portswigger.net/research/http-desync

HTTP pipelining is not normal usage of HTTP/1.1. And it means that if request number 1 fails, usually request number 2 and 3 are lost because servers will slam the door shut because of the lack of framing around HTTP it is too dangerou

by X-Istence 4y ago
HTTP Pipelining has the client sending multiple requests before receiving a response. It turns it into Request, Request, Request, Response, Response, Response. The problem is that if Request number 1 leads to an error whereby the connection

> This is not the same as HTTP pipelining, which I will not discuss, out of spite. That is cause HTTP pipelining was and is a mistake and is responsible for a ton of http request smuggling vulnerabilities because the http 1.1 protocol ha

The Beats Flex uses the Apple W1 chip, just like the Beats X that came before them. They connect/pair to all of my iCloud enabled devices and switch easily between them as well. I have mine mostly switching between my Apple Watch and m

I won some Beats X from a contest at a conference in 2017, and used them on and off for the first two years. After that they were my daily drivers for any and all workouts. They would get used at minimum 3 times a week for at least 2 hours,

Filtering by /64 is good enough. With a /56 you have 2^8 (256) prefixes, if you spam enough for a /64 to be blocked, you have 255 more tries before all of those are blocked too. With some heuristics of "hey, we saw two &

You can have an instance of a VPC Endpoint per VPC. You can have multiple VPC's all with the same VPC Endpoints. You just get billed for them ;-)

If you give me access to use your KMS key to encrypt/decrypt an EBS volume, and grant me access to that EBS volume/mount it to an AWS EC2 instance I manage, I can read/write data on that EBS volume all day long. The fact that

I learned how to write code from books I purchased with cold hard currency. In the before times when dialup modems were the norm resources were scarce, and things like Github Copilot were just a pipe dream. I have also taught classes and pr

There's communication between the device and the power brick. When the communication stops the power stops being delivered. Not sure how Apple is doing that these days with the MagSafe USB-C they have introduced on their laptops since

The server would need to bind to that address, and then it should work fine as long as that address is assigned to a loopback interface. That's the same as any system right now. If I bind to 127.0.0.1 I don't automatically get tra

That's because bandwidth caps are enforced by the cable modem and not further downstream. When you pay for 10 Mbps down, 1 Mbps up, that is enforced by the cable modem. Earlier versions of cable modems had flaws that allowed consumers
