1. This isn't mission critical. It's a free product that comes with no guarantees. 2. They're onboarding people slowly. You can't use it yet without an invitation.

Wireguard might be using UDP, but you're still tunneling TCP on top of it. So the congestion control is still there and kicking.

I'd wager that the Super Secret Plan is geared towards further centralizing the Internet. Preferably on Cloud Flare's infrastructure. This is one part of a tug-of-war that's going on in recent years between Internet network

What I don't like about SemVer is that all breaking changes look exactly the same. That's why I like to use SemVer with a small twist - a fourth number prepended to the regular three: A.B.C.D. `B`, `C`, and `D` are the regular Sem

If you already have an anonymous VPS you can trust then just get a couple more and chain them together instead of using TOR.

On one hand, it looks pretty cool and convenient. On the other, using a DNS server requires a lot of trust. Giving some unknown company the ability to trivially man-in-the-middle your connection or sell your browsing history is pretty scary

Were you using it for documents in English? Because I don't know about German specifically, but with some languages, Libre office is very buggy.

How about adding non-MOOCs for people to organize learning subjects together? Say I want to learn a new language or framework. It would be nice to be able to find a group of people learning the same thing.

One one hand, sure. They're still able to ship a working product despite having an abysmal code base. That's an excellent end result that must not be underestimated. Perhaps the problem that code base solves is really that diffi
