Another question is if going with a burner phone that has just sim card and bank card, sufficient. But then you need appleid/google account on the device, and this again links back to your phone number, and it's not easy in practice to have proper clean device.

I hinted there how the NS chain of lookups works from . to your domain. The point is that we wanted to be able to move name servers around the ip addresss, but that wouldn't work for many domains. So - in some contexts moving IP's rapidly is possible, in some it's not. Fun.

Recently there has been a push to figure out the backpressure situation, so it's worth checking again.

Are you saying CF documentation is better than Computer Science / Networking education resources? Why don't people know better? I thought the tunnels are mostly used to bypass NAT's.

I'm not sure what is the proportion of the static vs dynamic sites, but I would argue that for wordpress CF is adding real value.

Lysk is a European defence startup, based between Paris and Warsaw. Our mission is to create modern software tailored for hostile environments. Our customers include European military and police units. We are in stealth but have already been recognised as one of France’s top 20 seed companies. Backed by Project A, Europe’s leading defence VC, and angels including the founders of Cloudflare, Quantum Systems, and ElevenLabs. We’re assembling a world-class team at the intersection of modern software and defence. We do not work on weapons systems or hardware products.

Currently we're looking for:

- Junior LLM engineer (gguf, on-prem models, llm validation and pipelines)

- Junior Voice AI engineer (we need customised STT models)

- Senior GEO-AI engineer (interpreation of speech-based geographical information)

A pity

I think defer{} can simplify these flows sometimes, so it can indeed be useful for good old style C.

In summary, the location at which an IP egresses Cloudflare network has nothing to do with the geo-ip mapping of that IP. In some cases the decision on where to egress is optimised for "location closest to the user", but this is also not always true.

And then there is the Internet. Often some country (say Iran) egresses from a totally different place (like Frankfurt) due to geopolitics and just location of cables.

Ok, so you are dealing with a classic - you measure A, but what matters is B. For "load" balancing a decent metric is, well, response time (and jitter).

For data partitioning - I guess number of rows is not the right metric? Change it to number*avg_size or something?

If you can't measure the thing directly, then take a look at stuff like "PID controller". This can be approach as a typical controller loop problem, although in 99% doing PID for software systems is an overkill.
