it will work as long as you are the one initiating the connection. if some peer suspects you have a wanted piece available i.e. from another peer in the swarm it can not communicate the intent to get that piece from you to your client direc

P2P here means it will form a mesh network which itself means every node in the network (your clients) tries to connect to each other as "directly" as they determined possible by some routing algorithm. This is in contrast to a a

this assumes a bitflip would result in an immediate reboot which is not even that likely i think. detecting these failures probably requires redundant systems and luck i guess.

i am located in Germany and my phone indicates the WiFi calling feature in the status bar. I never signed up for this and thus never provided any address. I would guess my phone is still connected to the cell network in parallel and thus lo

when reading about these considerations i always wonder if it really matters at which point i could discern single pixels from one another. i think there is more to it when we are talking about what we can see in the image. maybe we wont be

this[0] is likely slow because it will try to do reverse DNS lookups for each host which can be disabled, at least on linux, with "-n" [0] https://gist.github.com/siraben/c3133b39e470d1aed16fd71f42b8...

i was less concerned about authentication issues and more about routing issues as ARP would lead to results depending on time and location inside the network topology...

for virtual machines i tend to use names that belong to some other entity and call the hypervisor after that. for example Saturn and its moons, Africa and its countries or some authors and their works.

would that help them though? i mean it appears to me they are already as close as possible to avoid latency and use microwave links and stuff so that is pretty hard to beat i guess. the only thing i can easily imagine being beneficial is ge

it is pretty trivial though and an obvious deficit easily visible by just looking at the "code" or nginx config in this case... it is even trivial to come up with this without knowing any of the setups details...

why wont you report them? is nobody interested in securing these?

that will just move the target of those attacks to these servers (or now yourself who stated to have access to these) with apparently a lot more rewarding outcomes too.

i do not. i manually manage these routes all by myself using systemd-networkd... these routes are respected but the via address is ignored nonetheless. to repeat myself, the via part of the route is not considered; i even double checked thi

no, the via part is just not considered. it does not make much sense to try though as it is impossible to have multiple peers with the same AllowedIPs addresses set. if it would honor the via address and allow me to configure multiple peers

not op but one issue i have with it is that it ignores the routing table as soon the packet hits the interface. what i mean is if i tell the linux network stack to route packets "via" some address (which normally would involve arp

my point is that i think there should be a soft limit on how long a single line of code should be because i feel like it becomes too hard to read if they get too long. that is an emotion as you said and it might be kinda arbitrary but i don

i like clear and concise naming and don't care too much about how long it is generally if it helps understand what it does without being extraneously verbose. However, i think there is an argument to be made about how long a single lin

maybe the algorithm wants to detect if you are as slow as a human would be solving those and you failed that ;D

not sure about any particulars of the issue you describe but it sounds like the terminal could not support something about your session to vi. maybe running GNU screen or tmux would make things work better?

sure, why should they escape user input when they can just ban various attempts as they notice them occurring...

it has nothing to do with IPv6 specifically but i mostly have a haproxy instance on every "edge" for public and private services. I also do TLS there. However, everything gets its own records in DNS too. I use dynamic updates from

that is actually somewhat impressive performance in my books. i would guess 4G links are inherently unstable regarding prediction of connection characteristics for proper scheduling... thanks for sharing your experience with that :)

by mercora 6y ago
is that latency coming from routing to your upstream network or the packet scheduling itself?
