There's a asymmetry here that "-R" works both for reverse static and dynamic (using SOCKS protocol) forwarding, but "-D" is required for dynamic forwarding which "-L" cannot do. Wh…

Are you sure? I thought it's just AES without any authentication.

That's exactly the issue. I'm just pointing out that it's a fantasy to hope for simple numbering of max supported speeds will simplify the current USB mess. It will not. Consumers …

> mark the speed on the USB ports, removing ambiguities Unfortunately it's not true. Quiz: what happens when a device capable of 20Gbps is plugged into a port marked as 40Gbps?

> by the time batteries wear out, most people are going to want a new a phone. Not true. In recent years smartphones do not advance much, and would be perfectly fine to keep workin…

How do you achieve that on macOS then? With PF?

why is jack retasking a thing…

>> The macOS version uses deep packet inspection to do this more reliably. That's not an option here. I thought it would be easier to do DPI on Linux than macOS. No???

It just proved the author knows nothing about either technology.

Seamless WiFi roaming is mostly a client decision. The best you can do on AP is to: a) optimize signal strength for coverage (stronger signals aren't always better in multi-AP depl…

I used to think that the scenes of the TV series “Person of Interest” were exaggerated for storytelling purposes. Maybe not and it was accurate prescience.

China has several teams working on FEL and several experimenting light sources, the latest being built in Shenzhen https://www.iasf.ac.cn/

"(sftp) packetizes the data and waits for responses, effectively re-implementing the TCP window inside a TCP stream." why is it designed this way? what problems it's supposed to so…

I hate the original Mac Pro case so much!!! The metal box is so heavy and the edges of the aluminum top handle is so sharp that you definitely need a pair of heavy-duty gloves to m…

OK, can we have 7GHz and 8GHz for Wi-Fi please?

China has already reserved the entire 6GHz for cellular and vehicles.

> What do these devices do that can't be accomplished by an OpenWrt One + an external AP for less money and fully FOSS? Nice UI (as the company is best known for https://ui.com )

The assumed mentality of “being flexible” is the very reason WireGuard was created to fight against in the first place, otherwise why bother? IPSec is already standardized and with…

Those pesky WD bridges usually support USB Bulk Storage only but not UASP, resulting in worse performance and higher CPU usage. Also HDD power management is often complicated by th…

Yeah but those are pretty dated. I was under the impression those old Ampere servers are not efficient compared to modern EPYC anymore. So I’m wondering what their current generati…

What ARM64 machines are you using and what are they used for? Last year you were announcing Gen 12 servers on AMD EPYC ( https://blog.cloudflare.com/gen-12-servers/ ), but IIRC the…

Thank you very much for the clarification! :)

Thanks! The Cloudflare blog article explained GSO pretty well: application must send a contiguous data buffer with a fixed segment size (except for the tail of the buffer) for GSO …

What mail clients do you recommend that make mailing list UI/UX tolerable?
