Such format isn't really necessary, because http has protocol level compression that can get rid of text-based format inefficiencies. And in case you need it precompressed there is a compressed svg format - svgz. I agree that svg is no

Probably the biggest thing is to separate edge servers from backend servers, running DNS and reverse http(s) proxies (aka load balancers) on the edge servers. This would allow you to achieve high availability on the internet facing layer an

All it takes to avoid that is looking into commit histories of projects in each language and figuring out how they mark bugfixes. If it's suspiciously reliable you would know you made a mistake classifying bugfixes somewhere or your sa

There isn't a guide to learn how things fail on platform, compiler, version, options combo. Probably the only things that force you to systematically research and accumulate such knowledge is by writing a language VM in C or use C as a

No, the author's idea is ok and he's mostly right on the cost part. Configuration and the numbers are a bit off and unrealistic, you won't get such low 95% availability per site due to other economical and technological const

99.95% availability (three nines) is something a single datacenter infrastructure could do, it's even typical, but 99.5% is actually pretty low, that's worse than running a service from home with a single home internet connection.

It also requires clear weather, so won't be enough to "wire" a village with reasonable expectation of service quality. At which point there is little reason to go with anything, but a passive optical network in a village.

I'm sure they can afford to buy rights to important non open source fonts or fund the design of similarly looking open source fonts to ship as aliases. There is no reason for the madness with fonts to continue.

by zzzcpan 7y ago
They could ship web browser with all common web fonts to render them from disk without fetching. This would allow disabling of fetching of web fonts without breaking websites. Also could eliminate fonts as a fingerprinting vector altogether

No, well, maybe, depending on your country. I know some countries have laws preventing ISPs from interfering with content, but even those laws do not apply to technical measures, like DoH, they are still completely free to block it.
119.
by zzzcpan 7y ago
DoH can be blocked by IP addresses, DNS canary and probably SNI, while DoT by IP addresses and port number. So "DoT is DoH with a kill switch." is again nonsense.

There is an actual research on this. More than 90% of alexa's top 1 million websites (more like 95% or so) are uniquely identifiable just by IP addresses you connect to when you visit them. This is not a single IP address per website,
