There has been quite a bit of LWN coverage of io_uring security aspects, most recently https://lwn.net/Articles/902466/ The basic gist seems to be that it's just not currently the upstream developer's fo

Curious what replacement card you went with. I know the WiFi/BT are combined, Bluetooth headphones cutting out last night for no reason at all and the thought came around again to flip a replacement in. Nice to meet another used hardwa

Watching company employees consistently pop up on critical threads (not fingering CF here, many including at least Stripe come to mind as frequently occurring too) feels a lot like gaming the forum. Vetted messages like this from a recogniz

You can get similar functionality very cheaply on AWS from the vt1 instance type. They're a PITA to work with, which is probably why they're still around $160/mo. for enough transcode to power a small city on spot. These card

That is true, and why not also ignore the frictions created by a single currency, free movement of labour and people, or the harmonization of judicial systems during times of crisis. Surely under such strain, it is only fair that Germany no

That very much sounds like you're calling for the collapse of the integrated european energy market. This is not meant as an attack on you, just an observation that these nationalistic calls will continue growing louder from every part

Put the HTML/CSS inside the JS, make that whole bundle cacheable, and make your "HTML" response basically be one <script> tag starting the JS and another containing the JSON response. Folk have been using this technique

I love this story. The moral is not that folk in Siberia could now watch video, but that a whole chunk of the distribution lying between "fast US fiber" and "siberian 2.4kbps wet string" had their experience dramatically

B2 isn't great for low latency serving, objects that aren't in hot cache have extremely variable delays on first fetch, and the delay (at least as of a year ago) scales according to object size. For largeish video (over 500mb) I r

Seeing a lot of mixed feelings about the AWS UI here. Just my two cents: a good project shouldn't need it for anything much beyond fiddling during development and poking around during problem solving. In the latter case, I deeply appre

Ofcom are slowly getting their teeth back with upcoming regulation (3 decades late IMO), but in answer to "what would we really lose?", we'd likely suffer immediate tit-for-tat responses from the US if we attempted to meaning

The genius is exactly that they haven't bothered. Can you imagine the flow of layout bugs over the past 20 years, or the managers calling to scrap old content because it's generating so much workload? That's very much a succe

Fully developed Flask projects tend to be significantly more hairballish and custom compared to something like Django, but it's extremely hard to kick the habit and convenience once something has initially been prototyped in Flask (or

Sounds very exciting, but curious about performance. Of course there will be downsides, it would be nice if this could be characterized somehow as part of the docs or site.

The main trick behind AMP is simply the ability to load third party content in a hidden IFRAME on the google.com origin securely. Your clicks were instant because they were literally pre-rendered client-side before you clicked, and that&#x2

This hasn't been true since the first third-party JS script was published. In reality a giant proportion of web users today are 'on Google' or 'on CloudFlare' or 'on CloudFront' even if they aren't aw

I want SPF/DMARC etc. results as features alongside all other message content, and overrides (like whitelisting, clicking "not spam") to apply similarly. Valid SPF/DMARC is so commonplace in spam that it's not worth

A small but important detail regarding Migadu: it's impossible to run their spam filter in a fully permissive mode. Some checks (presumably SMTP time like SPF) cannot be disabled, preventing the recording of all incoming spam. That&#x2

Regarding SES, beware they force a Message-ID header, preventing at least forwarding of mail without breaking threads. There are probably more gotchas to this I hadn't discovered.
