I've reused the LGL (Large Graph Layout) algorithm used by The Opte Project [1,2] with more recent and comprehensive (multipath) traceroutes in 2022 [3]. I've also played a bit wit…

You take a smaller H3 :-) The maximum area of a resolution 15 H3 is 1 square meter, so unlikely to split a house in two.

Ah right haha. Thanks for the heads up, I should have checked ^^

Oh this is nice, and a cool use of HTTP range requests!

Bogus announcements are probably filtered by your upstream(s) (see [1] for a common list of filters). IP-to-ASN mappings are typically built from route collectors [2,3] that peer w…

Another solution is to use an MMDB (“MaxMind DB”) file [1] which is essentially a binary tree + deduplicated values (same as idea 3.1). There are several free ASN MMDBs [2,3] but y…

I can't speak for AWS specifically, but in my PhD thesis [1] I found a bunch of such examples by using RIPE Atlas probes. Essentially looking for pairs of probes where the RTT betw…

Nice achievement but always a bit disappointing that those records are based on throwing more money at the problem, rather than new theoretical grounds, or software improvements (I…

Additionally, I would not expect such “baseline” changes in the minimum RTT to be due to variation in CPU processing time. These changes are more typical of a physical path change,…

Hosts with randomized addresses are likely to have auto-generated PTR records, or none at all, so for the purpose of rDNS resolution those are not a big issue. And that’s a detail,…

It works by querying a specific DNS resolver (dns.toys): dig +short TXT mumbai.weather @dns.google # NXDOMAIN dig +short TXT mumbai.weather @dns.toys "Mumbai (IN)" "30.90C (87.62F)…

The same way glasses in restaurants are washed and reused :-) Another solution is to bring your own cup.

Rosetta is used to run the amd64 binaries, but not the (arm) kernel of the Docker VM.

Anectodally, Paris metro used to have two classes: https://www.messynessychic.com/2014/12/04/that-time-the-pari...

Same for the National Library of France: https://gallica.bnf.fr/accueil/en/content/accueil-en https://gallica-bnf-fr.translate.goog/blog/11122015/des-tira...

It's a bit disappointing that OrbStack is not open source, but it works really well. In my experience (co)lima was already an improvement over Docker Desktop in terms of reliabilit…

Wouldn't it be more likely that medianalysisd (which is present in macOS since many years) does something like object recognition [1] and connects to Apple servers for updating the…

> The 9p code on Linux remains important for VirtFS and other purposes around sharing files with guest virtual machines.

They do but it's experimental and only for Linux guests: https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/releases/tag/v2.2.4

One downside of using tailscale cert, or LE for "private" records is that it writes the domain name in a public Certificate Transparency Log [1]. So make sure that the name doesn't…
