Will Cloudflare people try to get us to believe that they "didn't know" or say that it only affects a tiny number of people, or somehow try to gaslight us in to thinking that non-mainstream browsers are a threat to something

Let's step back for a moment and think about this example: Do I, a highly technical person, want a machine that has been made in to an appliance, where I have very little control over what's going on in the background, where I hav

My Diesel has an analog glow plug controller. That's literally the most complicated electronics in the whole car.

That's one way, but I suspect that even if they did disconnect the alternators, they could just charge the batteries overnight. On the other hand, alternators should make way less EM noise than ignition coils.

If you just use Cloudflare as a registrar, then they can't see what resolution happens on your servers. If you delegate a subdomain through Cloudflare to your own DNS servers, from what I remember from the animal book, the recursive se

So there are good reasons, aside from reliability, efficiency and ease of repair, for having a 1981 Diesel Chevette with a 100% mechanical engine :)

Serious question: Do you really think that Cloudflare is trying to keep these kinds of thing private? If so, I'd suggest that's not a reasonable expectation.

Considering that a modern Ryzen is 1375 times faster than a VAXstation 4000/60, and a VAXstation 4000/60 is around 1280 times faster, at least in clock, than an AGC, that would mean the M4 would need to be about 5.6 times faster t

Anyone who calls 512 gigs "over half a terabyte" is bullshitting. No, thank you.

Don't tell me what to do or what not to do, and especially don't tell me using provable lies and falsehoods.

It's an interesting article with some contrasts I hadn't considered, but as a tangent, why does the site think it needs 200% CPU constantly, even when not scrolling, just to show me a wall of text?

Organization with hundreds of millions of dollars of annual revenue and spend can't maintain servers? I would wonder if this is really something much simpler: an excuse to make things read-only, while implying that people really should

Does it not strike anyone else as odd that if someone said they had a single CPU, and that CPU were running a normal priority task at 100%, and that caused the machine to barely allow ssh, we'd say there's a much bigger problem th

Is the site dead? Or does it use strange features that keep it from working universally? I just see strobing grey lines... It finally loaded after several minutes. I see the device pulldown is large, yet there's no scrollbar, and there

Forty years ago I had a Sinclair QL with an 8086 emulator. Because the Sinclair QL had preemptive multitasking, I could easily search memory for patterns, monitor locations, stop and start the emulation, or change memory programmatically an

The "IPv6 is Hard" source seems to be sarcastic, not serious. IPv6 is ridiculously easy, in the grand scheme of things. What's hard is getting people who should know better to do what they're supposed to do, without pl

It's perfect for things that just need a modest amount of bandwidth, like a TV. Most streams are a few tens of megabits, and that's about all you can reasonably expect from powerline networking. When you try to use as much bandwid

Cloudflare is discriminatory. They, and their fanbois, will likely claim that they can't publicly discuss their criteria for who they block, so some mysterious magic is going on in the background, and we're supposed to just trust

You're focusing on the wrong kind of pedantry. "Marginalized" has a specific connotation, sure, but people can be marginalized for reasons other than, or in addition to, those that fit the connotation.

Many / most bots use Chrome on Linux user agent, so you think it's OK to block Chrome on Linux user agents. That's very broken thinking. So it's OK for them to do shitty things without explaining themselves because they
