Everything above. Friends don't let friends use App Engine, and by extension, fringe GCloud services they could break or shitcan at literally any moment The technology of a vendor …

Hrm fair point. I'm not sure DNT could have been repurposed to imply consent under much newer regulations, but you're generally right, this mechanism predated the EU regs and someh…

If any browser vendor just pushed a trivial standard like X-Consent: no-cookies X-Consent: cookies-ok Sites would have gobbled that header up overnight, and the other browsers woul…

I do not miss Google's monorepo one iota. It had huge benefits, but after stepping back far enough the result also easily begins to look a little like Stockholm syndrome. Anything …

Coming from the outside world and looking (back) in, I simply can't ever imagine being in the kind of environment where discussing the choice of web framework or tool language woul…

What happened to the Closure Compiler stack? It was infinitely ahead of its time, how the heck did they end up settling on Angular of all things

Yikes, didn't realize they had the indecency to drink their own kool-aid. Angular, really? No wonder! Come to think of it, it's maybe been around a year since I last saw one of tho…

This is "fixed" in DoH the same way it's "fixed" for encrypted SNI: by having a small number of superproviders servicing millions of domains. With current encrypted SNI proposal, y…

Very good point! Sorry, I was confusing myself thinking about classic DNS.

Tor is not a run of the mill SOCKS proxy, not least in that it inserts arbitrarily high latency into the user data path. On the other hand, an actual run of the mill SOCKS proxy wo…

DNSCrypt needs meaningful industry support otherwise it's sadly irrelevant. I think by now we can all agree "industry support" basically means the 3 browser vendors. DoH has at lea…

The user's IP address is masqueraded by the proxy, and neither the DNS mothership (Cloudflare) nor the ISP get to see both who the user is and what they requested. It's an extremel…

Opened this post expecting to be hating on another power grab dressed up as protocol engineering, but this one seems to actively /reduce/ the centralization of user data collection…

The block diagram here: https://blog.cloudkernels.net/static/vaccel_v2/vaccelrt.png#... should probably have some close variant on your home page, I've been around for 20 years and…

I tried LocalCDN after seeing a recommendation for it here, but despite claiming to cache more libraries it was very clearly not catching as many requests as DecentralEyes, which I…

> making it an open standard I would hesitate to use the term "open standard" until I'd thoroughly assessed the identities of everyone contributing to that open spec, along with th…

This was always a land-grab by folk who wanted Docker's """community""" (read: channel) but not Docker's commercial interests. Any time you see a much larger commercial entity insi…

There is no better option for temporally sparse compute. If your job can run all the time there is no benefit to these systems, but if it wastes money by being provisioned all the …

Your lambda function can be a container

Totally loving this. Did you reverse engineer the layouts from screenshots? Please tell me somewhere there is a snippet of original HTML snarfed from archive.org :) Finally you're …

Successful forex folk seem more inclined towards having a strong understanding of economic balance than trading price action directly, but there are those folk too, with the latter…

It's not ideal but it is an improvement.
