Yes and no. The problem with older or old cars is that eventually spare parts become sparsely available or downright unavailable, and even getting the normal wear and tear serviced becomes a problem. I went through it with my previous car t

It is a lovely word, indeed, and it is undeservedly heavily underutilised, hands down. I find myself using it nowadays rather sparingly and mostly in just one phrase (and its semantic derivatives): «all that twaddle […]».

If you are referring to the nested virtualisation support in ARM v8, it was added in the ARM v8.3-A revision of the architecture, and M1 uses ARM v8.5-A as the baseline. But yes, virtualisaiton support for ARM (in general) was abysmal and A

Very well. You have pointed your DNS resolver to a host on your local network for the DNS name resolution. When a DNS lookup request hits it, where does a UDP packet on 53 goes out to and what happens to it?
345.
by inkyoto 2y ago
Widely used DoH servers operate on fixed IP addresses (v4 and v6), connections to which can be dropped / blackholed, which is what people from at least the UK and Malaysia are reporting. DPI is not even required.

They absolutely can and some do. The destination UDP port number of a UDP packet traversing the core network of an ISP can be inspected and acted upon as one pleases.

Even if DNS is redirected, where DNS lookup request goes to next depends on the next hop, which is – for the prevailing majority of the internet users – the ISP. Deep packet inspection hardware appliances have proliferated in their numbers

Frankly, there is no advantage to compressed instructions in a high performance CPU core as a misaligned instruction can span a memory page boundary, which will generate a memory fault, potentially a TLB flush, and, if the memory page is no
