   Have you considered, or tested, using ECMP (Equal Cost Multiple Path routing) and anycast for that? I did some extensive IPv4 and IPv6 ECMP anycast testing a couple years ago where we'd randomly bring up and kill hosts and containers.

   The price cap should be on the energy producers (wholesale) as well as the retailers. This is just naked profiteering at the energy producer stage for those that aren't using natural gas as their sole energy source. It isn't costi

   I should have pointed out in the UK the cost includes 20% Value Added Tax (VAT) so the actual charge has reduced from £74.10 to £62.50 (US$87.44 to US$73.75 @ £1=US$1.18 on 2022-08-25).

    It's exactly what I mean. There is absolutely no value in hanging on to the last possible moment due to ever increasing levels of interventions. Living longer is not "a good thing" if that life is costing (not just in financi

    What a uniquely quirky way to communicate! Glad to see via your sandbox update that you identified the cause. Now all you need do is write "lambda-mta" to take over email! Seriously - that 'free.fr' MTA spam block needs

    Is there a public code repository and issue tracker where fans and users can discuss and contribute? Very neat, and impressive. The one downside I noticed for the exemplar page is the browser CPU load. constant 33% of 1 CPU on an AMD Ryzen

    Have you considered trying to capture the amount of time it took to get from prospective buyer saying "Let's talk about a deal" to discovering the final price ? Since buyer's time is valuable, and wasted negotiating time

    I disagree when considered in the context of what we use IRC for 'traditionally' - hundreds of people able to share logical information, code, URLs, and more particularly on a very low bandwidth medium. Can't do that in voi

    One aspect I don't see mentioned much, if at all, is that the "C" in "IRC" stands for "chat", and that, to me, has always equated to in-real-life chats. If I'm not present when friends are chatting I
