If people want that, there are already tons of other VPN options. Donenfeld didn't leave it to third parties, he doesn't want cipher negotiation at all. Other people can do whatever they want and the base project remains untainted

The two versions can run in parallel so you will never be in a situation where the sysadmin is forced to take down the v1 server to set up a v2 server. It's the sysadmins responsibility not to put users in that situation. Users might t

Sure it does. They are two separate packages, run on two separate network ports and completely incompatible. Just pretend that WireGuard v2 is unrelated to WireGuard. "OpenVPN and WireGuard coexistence doesn't work without a versi

Breaking user space might not be popular with users, but it makes sense for security. Besides, anyone could build protocol negotiation on top of WireGuard v1/v2 if they wanted to. I'm not a kernel dev, but WireGuard v2 will probab

There's a difference between doing collecting data on your own site and doing it on third-party sites so banks are a bad example (unless your banks work differently than mine).

Sure, Python is dynamically typed, but it supports type hints and avoids implicit type conversions. I'm sure that quote is aimed squarely at YAML, it is an absolute nightmare by comparison.

It seems really weird to me that this post doesn't address what aspects of real-time multiplayer gaming need a reliable transport. The idea of a low-latency reliable transport might seem interesting, but client-server communication gen

I'm still not convinced this coverage is in any way related to Zoom's current popularity or COVID-19, I just think a company that keeps fucking up is a better story than a one-off.

That doesn't always work, because servers aren't always used in strict order. For example, my default Kubuntu 19.10 installation flips the primary and secondary if the primary is unresponsive for a while. Since my laptop takes a m

Why not configure your local .test domains in your Pi-hole? That's also dnsmasq, you can use the same configuration options.

Yes, it's always best to reduce the number of variables in benchmarking, but the setup makes a big difference when we are talking about tiny data sets. I don't know how to test it properly, but I tried looping over both the initia

You only benchmarked the search itself, but in the real world it might also take time to set up the data. You can't really pinpoint a tradeoff point without knowing how many times a data structure will be used. I ran your Python test o

MOV and MP4 are container formats, so MOV can be smaller than MP4 depending on the video formats used.
