    I hope you’re still joking. Data caps are to an extent “fake”, in that telcos’ costs aren’t measured in how many bytes their customers download/upload. Telcos’ costs come from rent…

    How does routing work? How do I know that for device A to reach device B, I need to go through device C but not D? And if I try to go through device D but device C actually deliver…

    I categorize myself as a “don’t care, would use whatever the codebase is using”. But I realize now that I rarely press tab or space when I indent. I find that most of the time, I a…
