Self-replication helps a lot. Birds suffer irreversible damage all the time. They just spam the world with more birds to replace the dead ones.

In my country that would be illegal. Here, the price is fixed first, and the customer has the right to choose any supported method of payment. Merchants are free to offer more reward points or discount coupons for cash payments, though.

> One of the big surprises for us was that the gains column was significantly longer and more robust than the losses column. Most of the purported gains are matters of freedom, whereas most of the losses are matters of life and death.

Doesn't that simply mean that the customer loses connectivity, just as the attacker intended, for the duration of the attack? From the ISP's point of view, you might have prevented an overload that could have affected other custom

It is indeed a hard problem. It's also why manufacturers are the only ones who can realistically deal with the problem. Let the Pringles company collect all the used Pringles cans from the same supermarkets they deliver Pringles to. Th

The opcache bug is actually more likely to hit VPS and dedicated servers, because most sites on shared hosting don't have enough concurrency to trigger the race condition. The last time I helped a customer fix it, they had a cluster of

Been doing that for a while, but it's a workaround at best insofar as the opcache bug is concerned. I wouldn't call it elegant. A thing that calls itself a cache should be able to handle evictions without throwing up. It's al

The restart behavior can be a problem when there's high concurrency, long-running requests, or even worse, both. First, the "opcache.force_restart_timeout" setting kills scripts upon reaching a timeout, independently of the w

There's no hard threshold, the star just fades gradually from #FFF to #000. A fully black dwarf would be so cold it would be indistinguishable from cosmic background radiation, but that's going to take at least a trillion times lo

The framing gets a pass because the majority of "explosive traffic" comes from foreign companies. Google and Netflix have no voice in the Korean lawmaking process. When they go to court, they fall right into the trap of the framin

You can use ProtonMail Bridge with your own mail client to remove the dependency on the ever-changing webapp. I'm not sure if it's possible to build Bridge from source instead of blindly trusting the binaries they offer, though.

Yeah, that footer looks surprisingly normal. But I don't see a whole bunch of closing tags just above that part. Why did the font size suddenly revert to normal? Is there something that means "reset everything"?
