When the EU legislates compliance with a standard into law, they pay the standards body for a license covering all EU residents and citizens

A single ~50MW facility dropping off the grid suddenly is something the grid can absorb fine. The problem is with facility-level grid-responsive safety mechanisms. If the grid sags…

You can find copies of the Mastercard and Visa chargeback manuals online if you do a search, some of them (mildly redacted) from the networks themselves.

I've seen lots of pretty terrible experiences with the i40e and newer Intel drivers. For newer NICs than the X520s I'd probably grab a Connect-X card.

No, Stripe did. It is a common misconception that chargebacks are decided by the customer's bank. Actually, there is a multiple cycle back-and-forth process after which they are fi…

Scaleway's equivalent only allows connections from ports You can do similar with vsock(7) sockets. This also has the advantage that it's harder to trick an application into making …

You can fix it by switching to one of the grounded charger heads. Unfortunately in most locales those are only available with an integrated extension cable (or as everyone seems to…

Chrony can do NTP encapsulated inside PTP packets so as to combine the best parts of both protocols

Was it actually repeating packets or was it sending out pause frames? In my experience USB ethernet adapters send out pause frames which shit-tier switches replicate to all ports i…

USB A->C cables are supposed to have a Rp pullup on CC1, and leave CC2 disconnected. Huawei made some A->C cables which (incorrectly, and spec-violatingly) have Rp pullups on both …

> In my tests with assorted 24-bit sRGB monitors, a difference of 1 in a single channel is almost always indistinguishable (and this might be a matter of monitor tuning); even a di…

Being that prescriptive is fundamentally unworkable in practice. Propagating unknown attributes is fundamentally what made the deployment of 32-bit AS numbers possible (originally …

The thing (Fast)CGI had, that http proxying doesn't (and lots of web frameworks/libraries a bit too tied to http, like go net/http don't) have is the SCRIPT_NAME (path processed so…

Put the ACME challenges in their own DNS zones. Grant the key permission to only that zone. Risk mitigated.

SemiAccurate has always been true to its name: occasional scoops but mixed with a lot of hyperbole, bluster, half truths and things that are just flat out wrong. Back when I worked…

For transit I would want to know the path I'm taking up to the point the supplier has redundancy From there the worst that can happen generally is that the packets spiral the wrong…

Because in networking, if you buy two uplinks and don't check the paths they're taking, fate demands that the fiber seeking back hoe just took out that one duct it turns out both o…

The CDDL is an MPLv1 derivative, so similarities should be unsurprising
