Absolutely, loss of deep sleep is associated with a ton of aging related cognitive decline. There's a number of startups experimenting with techniques to enhance deep sleep in the …

Melatonin has a short half life (~1h), that's why melatonin receptor agonists [1] are a thing. So just mechanistically it's unlikely to help with sleep maintenance. Do you wake up …

I'm pretty sure at this point I have familial advanced sleep phase syndrome of an unknown genetic etiology [1]. Wake up stupid early in the morning, get drowsy very early in the ev…

FWIW QUIC enforces TLS 1.3 and modern crypto. A lot smaller surface area and far fewer foot-guns. Combined with memory safe TLS implementations in Go and Rust I think it's fair to …

How did you work around WireGuard's encryption and multiqueue bottlenecks? Jumbo frames? 25G is a lot for WireGuard [1]. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXhNVj80Z8A

Now that's an interesting, and wild, idea. I don't believe you could implement RFC 9484 directly in the browser (missing capsule apis would make upgrading the connection not possib…

I've recently spent a bunch of time working on a mesh networking project that employs CONNECT-IP over QUIC [1]. There's a lot of benefits for sure, mTLS being a huge one (particula…

For TCP streams syscall overhead isn't a big issue really, you can easily transfer large chunks of data in each write(). If you have TCP segmentation offload available you'll have …

Amen to that.

It's a different company paying each time ;) I'm actually super excited to see how https://www.sovereign.tech turns out long-term. Germany has a lot of issues with missing the boat…

It's mind-blowing to think XDR / ONC RPC V2 were products of the 1980s, and that sitting here nearly forty years later we are discussing the same problem space. Probably the bigges…

Now that's an interesting thought, I wonder if you could use a modified subset of TypeScript to create a IDL/DDL for JSON-RPC. Then compile that schema into implementations for var…

I'd say the success of REST kind of proves that's something that for the most part can be worked around. Often comes down to the JSON codec itself, many codecs will allow unmarshal…

To be honest I kind of find myself drifting away from gRPC/protobuf in my recent projects. I love the idea of an IDL for describing APIs and a great compiler/codegen (protoc) but t…

The German pension system is completely insane. There is no fund backing it, and disbursements already exceed contributions to the tune of 127B EUR per year (which is subsidized fr…

I think this is the fundamental cultural difference between countries like the USA (and Australia) vs most of the EU. Folks here expect and trust the state to provide for the futur…

Yep they're the technology equivalent of a discount supermarket. Everything is commoditized to the extreme. Breath of fresh air in the modern cloud era tbh.

This is typical of Hetzner, if a product SKU is losing money they very quickly make changes, even going as far as to discontinue the product entirely (eg. GPU servers). They defini…

That probably runs on Kubernetes (or Borg) under the hood.

Yeh nah mate, I'd recommend moving to the middle of nowhere in Aus over a low cost region in the EU. You really want to be in a long term growth environment (even if you're startin…

velcro straps on the plate?

You can already do this trivially with Linux vcan[1] so I don't buy this argument. I think the bigger factor is that innovation in the CAN ecosystem has been lagging behind Etherne…

It's a good thing we invented video compression and hardware codecs/encoders a long time ago. What you'll actually be sending is a high bitrate mpeg stream, probably 54Mbps or ther…
