OP was making a sarcastic joke, but nobody bothers reading the second paragraph to understand that.

What you're seeing are the speeds of various multi-tier caches (RAM, intermediate SLC etc.) It cannot write to its main flash memory that fast. While it to the user looks like they just wrote 10 GiB in a single second, the SSD is inter

Those comments are about the 25 years old RTL8139, among the world's first highly affordable and fully-integrated Fast Ethernet controllers that ended up on pretty much every motherboard. Contrary to all of the aged complaints about th

Just to be clear, I'm not advocating for Ed448 for the KEX - we already have ML-KEM and SNTRUP in OpenSSH and everyone should start using those. I'm advocating for Ed448 DSA ("SSH pubkey").

The simplified answer is, larger keys that demand a far larger effort to break, in a way similar to RSA-4096 vs RSA-2048. The predicted timelines for quantum computer advances (and the requirements for practical applications) have shrunk dr

Imagine if we would've had the same hesitant cost-first reasoning about Ed25519, and then again about ML-KEM and SNTRUP.

> Tangentially related but regarding RSA and ECC... With RSA can't we just say: "Let's use 16 384 bit keys" and be safe for a long while? That's correct. The quantum computer needs to be "sufficiently larg

I wonder when the OpenSSH developers will change their stance on Ed448.

Surely you must've noticed that pretty much all of their bare metal offerings ("dedicated" and the stuff on "auction") have multiple disks, allowing for various RAID configurations?

They may be making this decision based on a long history of, in fact, never really having run into "a lot of time in maintenance and future headaches".

See my comment in the main thread for an example. In a worst case scenario, some data is simply too "frizzy" to index/search efficiently and with good performance in a B-tree.

"The deeper the tree, the slower it is to look up elements. Thus, we want shallow trees for our databases!" With composite indices in InnoDB it's even more important to keep the tree streamlined and let it fan out according

I believe OP is asking for a before/after of Apple Maps, because just seeing the map now isn't telling us whether Apple previously disclosed the villages and towns. I'm sure OP isn't thinking that the region is full of r

In my experience they will mark your e-mails as spam for no sound reason at all. I run my own MX, for myself personally, and my e-mails to friends using Gmail regularly gets classed as spam as soon as it's been "long enough"

Agreed. I spent a lot of time programming the GBA in the early 2000s (back when the state of the art devkit was a flash cartridge writer with parallel cable...) and I consider it the last "grounded" console that Nintendo made, whe

I sadly have to agree. The damned thing struggles with a handful of basic stuff, it still has a config UI of which you can't tell head from tail, complete with teeth and whiskers and even a full "about:config" panel à la Fire

In my experience running my own MX, greytrapping hasn't been an efficient countermeasure for well over 15 years at this point. Spammers have endless constitutional resources. The botnets they wield, too, are endless resources. It costs

Doesn't that depend on when they acquired the gold and at what price? It has roughly tripled in just 10 years, and increased tenfold since the early 2000s.

Paper/virtual gold perhaps bought ages ago at a far lower price point, now turned into real, solid gold in parity with today's price point. To me this sounds like the implied gain.

Gonna go off on a limb and guess that you live in North America where the state of the art in single-family homes is double-pane windows and thin outer walls made of cardboard and pressboard, clad with "luxurious" vinyl siding. I

You really are underestimating just how far e.g. Apple's mobile CPUs have come in terms of raw performance and power-efficiency.

Ogg is the container, Vorbis is the audio codec, and colloquially people just called Vorbis-encoded audio "ogg" because of the ogg container. Vorbis was hit-or-miss. In some cases it did better on same or lower bitrate than MP3 en

Two years ago, over the course of two or three weeks, my girlfriend got several of these password reset requests popping up on her iOS devices. She uses a dedicated anonymous e-mail address for her Apple/iCloud account, which she never
