Ah, I see. Yeah, that one definitely took me multiple attempts to see what it wanted.

I believe that the "enemies":

1. Must start with "#"

2. Must be exactly 6 hex digits

3. Must be lowercase

As far as I can tell, the first combat level enemies all start with "ALERT-" and have exactly 3 digits.

I believe it is very much a two-way ban, depending on the specific chips [0].

Semi-related: Firefox 142 was released a few days ago and is now using CRLite[0], which apparently only needs ~300kB a day for for the revocation lists in their new clubcard data-structure[1].

In the context of snooping on the SNI extension, you definitely can.

The SNI extension is sent unencrypted as part of the ClientHello (first part of the TLS handshake). Any router along the way see the hostname that the client provides in the SNI data, and can/could drop the packet if they so choose.

In order to function, CDNs have to act essentially as giant opt-in MITM services. When you setup a CDN in front of your site, you will either need to give them your cert, or let them issue a cert (e.g. via let's encrypt).

If they can serve your site with https normally, they can serve any content they want under it.

I'm not sure why it would be different from any other hosting provider. They do clarify what they consider abuse / forbidden content, and their operational policies though:

New comment by Andoryuuta in "Ask HN: Is anyone still using Coldfusion?"

Andoryuuta — Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:13:14 +0000

At a prior job (fairly recently, past ~5 years), we still used ColdFusion MX7 for some internal apps and reports. They had been around for a long time, so don't break what works I suppose. :)

The biggest issue with them was that _some_ feature (cfform IIRC) was generating flash .swf input forms, which broke after the flash player EOL. Switching it directly to the plain html version wasn't compatible, so we had to manually fix a bunch of code.

New comment by Andoryuuta in "Rhai: An embedded scripting language for Rust"

Andoryuuta — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 15:19:57 +0000

Is there something in specific that makes this easier to use in Rust projects compared to the Lua wrappers/bindings like mlua[0]? Or is it just an overall ergonomics thing?

Genuine question, as I don't have any prior experience embedding any scripting language into a Rust project.

Haha, this made me chuckle :)

I'll concede on the joylessness front. However, I assure you that all the posts on my personal blog are 100% artisanal human-made joyless posts! No AI needed.

Yeah, I should probably update my Hugo theme to include the date (not that I ever write anything on there anyways TBH). Also, the I changed domains not too long ago, so that probably added some more confusion.

I wrote this in 2020 apparently:

Andoryuuta — Tue, 24 Dec 2024 18:56:07 +0000

There are multiple competitors though.

See: Azure Front Door, Amazon CloudFront, Google Cloud/Media CDN, Akamai, Fastly, BunnyCDN, and so on.

People are _choosing_ to use Cloudflare, whether that's based on cost, features, or even just brand recognition - but lack of options isn't the case.

> Bullshit.

Dark Reader has >9 million total users across browsers as reported by the Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Mac app stores [1][2][3][4]. That is definitely a very small percentage of total web browser users - with some estimates putting chrome users at 3.2 billion(!)[5], but 9 million users isn't something to scoff at either.

FWIW - I completely agree that mckirk's comment was a great passing "fyi" that doesn't put pressure on the dev. I also think it relevant to the original post (not some tangential common complaint, nor against the HN guidelines).

New comment by Andoryuuta in "Show HN: Go Plan9 Memo"

Andoryuuta — Fri, 18 Oct 2024 17:48:14 +0000

I think people certainly have been trying for a while. In fact, I recall being on a (Skype?) call with my brother almost a decade ago while he was trying to write an SIMD library in Go. If I remember correctly, at that time, a bunch of the AVX instructions weren't even encodable in Go's Plan9 assembler - so we had to manually encode them as bytes [0].

The most complete library I've seen (though admittedly never used) uses CGO _partially_, with a neat hack to avoid the overhead that it comes with [1].

One big difference is the licensing. Docker Engine itself is apache licensed (and hence free to use at a company of any scale), but Docker Desktop requires a paid plan if your company has more than 250 employees or more than $10 million in annual revenue [0].

I love words like this that have slang meanings that are basically the complete opposite meaning. Very similar to slang usage of "sick", "gnarly", "crazy", "insane", etc in (American?) English.

I'm choosing to believe that the egui (library) name is the "positive egui" form[0]. ;)
