3611 was free until 2007, when it became mostly irrelevant. 9.1 millions of minitels is about half the population (in number of households). I don't think that 2003 was a peak since Internet was already there for quite some time (peopl

To make it work with Network Manager, it needs DBus support. So distributions compile it with DBus support.

It still needs to be authenticated. It could be replaced by an attacker public key.

SVG can be served gzipped transparently. Ideally, when converting text to path, each letter (or group of letters) should be put in a group which can be referred with <use>. Thanks for the example. Is the text in other figures OK?

This behaviour has been fixed in 4.4. It has been mostly unnoticed until then! See https://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/4q3wmq/ipv4_flo...

Hardware usually scales at line rate without any issue, something Linux cannot. From a pure latency point of view, a medium-range router (using the latest Broadcom Tomahawk chipset) takes around 500ns to route a packet (note that such a chi

Yes. But IPv6 doesn't really have a route cache either. However, it handles exceptions differently than IPv4. With IPv6, exceptions are put in the tree along regular entries (there has been some bugs, like /128 routes disappearing

Route lookup with 1 core with a full view on Linux is on the order of 100ns. https://vincent.bernat.im/en/blog/2017-ipv4-route-lookup-lin... Linux is able to handle about 5 Gbps of traffic of small packets (64 byt

An EX2200, a routing switch you can pay for about 500$, is also ASIC-based. Linux on a server has no problem routing with a latency in the order of 100ns. I don't see what kind of equipments would route in the order of 10ms. That'

Most switches are routing switches and the same pipeline is used for both L2 switching and L3 routing. There is no sensible difference in switching and routing unless the switch has the ability to completely disable L3 routing. The typical

Creating your own packages with Debian tools is easier now than ever. Unfortunately, the documentation may be lagging a bit and will also focus of making state-of-the-art packages. Last year, I have written some examples on how to do simple

This is the case of many software. Usually, distribution support is longer than upstream. Therefore, distributors have to be backport the patches. That's what it is done for Debian. They are few exceptions: any Oracle product (Oracle d

Chromium has an exception to always keep it up-to-date with the latest version. In Jessie, it was updated in the same week as for unstable.

Basically, yes. While for a lot of software, you can use backports to get a more recent version, this doesn't apply to software being part of the toolchain (gcc, python, ...) because it would affect the rest of the archive. o You are l
