The impact on performance is more along the lines of 1-2% on AMD (though it likely varies by generation (I did extensive benchmarking on Renoir wrt throughput/latency/gpu). But yes small enough to be insignificant unless you run L

If I set my DNS provider to use DoH or DoT, my ISP will no longer see my DNS requests. I'm confident that my ISP doesn't do DPI at scale to extract SNI, so the lack of ECH doesn't break the entirety of the privacy benefit. Th

It's nice to see that someone revived MPC-HC (again). For a while MPC-BE[1] was the alternative. I don't know how they compare today, but the latter is still great. [1] https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpcbe&#

It's not about the code. The open source implementations are also subject to patent laws, they just ignore them and put the responsibility on the user. And users don't know/care about it so in the end they get playback for fr

Relying on porcelain commands' output is the official way of interacting with git, they famously always refused to break it into a library. Nobody is going to use the low level git commands because: 1. Their output isn't any more

I don't know why you blame Google, as if Nvidia wasn't the one who made the device, chose the software, and sold it to you. Were they held at gun point by Google? Is there a contractual obligation to not ship their own ads-free la

How would a router help you in that scenario? Is your plan is to selectively MITM streaming services with a proxy running on that same machine?

Backports are meant to work well along stable packages, but I agree it's definitely not a good idea to start pulling from sid from trixie (for regular packages, kernel is fine), this is asking for a ruined system.

In my experience Caddy has worse latency and throughput than nginx. I've set up a service that frequently sends 600MB/s (~5gbps) with nginx and the CPU is just chilling at 50%, but Caddy on that machine bottlenecks at 300MB/s
