VPN providers at the tier of Mullvad should be precise about this stuff -- I think it's more than just a nitpick, considering the audience. oh god did I just use an emdash.

Note that you need some flavor of secure DNS to enforce ECH. The protocol is designed to be downgradable.

They can just claim that the user is free to turn off SIP and "modify" the binary bits, or that kernel extensions amount to modification.

I would expect that Linux users want access to age-verified apps just as much as other users, so such a signal will be available.

Also, you're being overly pedantic on the language used. It transfers liability away from the service, more easily allowing operation in about half of the states. "age verification" is a fine lay description.

That is decidedly not a solution. Neighboring APs necessarily need to be on different channels, to avoid Co-Channel Interference (CCI). An AP doesn't answer just on BSSID but also on a specific channel.

this is easily solved with current technology, if they had an incentive to do so.

besides firing folks that get caught, flock themselves should be brought to court.

Also, for domains that are just "parked", not in current use, obviously the parking page can just have a for-sale banner. This is exceedingly common.

Laughable misrepresentation.

i would prefer a thing that was more self-contained, not dependent on a black box service layer underneath.

much apologies if i just have a poor understanding.

Not one-time cost, but rather TCO.

Proto >> Snap-On IMHO. Both in raw quality and in value.

And while Craftsman may have changed significantly even before Sears' demise, there are still some excellent tool lines within the brand.

- it creates the file if it does not exist, not merely truncate. as a tutorial kind of blog post this incomplete description matters IMO.

- it would work the same without the colon (similar for default variable assignment examples). we generally strive not to have "extra" things, like useless use of cat.

- educationally it's useful to demonstrate that redirection, like parameter expansion, works before the command executes (the null command in this case), but the article doesn't explain that at all!

otherwise i <3 this article. some uses of colon i had never thought of or seen before. like file truncation, not sure i'd use them but it was cool to see them.

Well come on. GP really means category cable (twisted pair copper) is not happy at 10Gb distribution lengths (so-called horizontal cabling, although in a home it may span multiple floors without IDFs). That's kind of obvious context.

DACs are not category cable; they are twinax, short, and bulky.
