wat? thats submillisecond. im not an etcd expert by any means, but nothing ive seen has given submillisecond as a performance criteria.

do you have a point of reference? this would definitely change some architecture items i’ve got on my list.

wireguard, notably, utilizes IP addresses for L2 semantics.

a bit disappointed this only points to ethernet as its answer. it does help to understand why ethernet requires addressing versus some others that do not.

the gold one, yeah. since it is an immigrant visa… but well situated applicants who want this done in a timely manner already have other options.

lol this still requires a chargeable visa. i imagine this won’t get so much traction then.

maybe one of the BSP people can give more info, but i believe that it comes with e.g. ACPI and such to avoid device trees.

I have really strong opinions against the device-secured biometric stuff. On my own devices, I will never use it as it dramatically lowers my security posture.

Further, the development of this ecosystem is to the exclusion of alternative OSes. Windows Hello and whatever apple wants to call their suite of biometric goo is elevating them to a place in my life that is unacceptable by virtue of the unwarranted trust granted to them.

Nah, probably on leased lines like t1s/t3s. Airport telecom infra isnt always the best.

New comment by yusyusyus in "Age Verification Laws: A Backdoor to Surveillance"

yusyusyus — Sat, 08 Mar 2025 02:56:32 +0000

Back in the day, during the short-lived reign of Communications Decency Act's provisions for dealing with pornographic material and minors, there emerged a site called sexkey.com that would provide a sort of SSO experience for doing age verification. That is, one would verify their age with sexkey.com and then, at participating sites, one would do a lil SSO bounce to verify age.

When the CDA's porn provisions were struck down, the sort of industry argument was that they'd use the PICS site ratings and the content could be blocked in proxy/client side. This made a lot of sense in the context of the V-chip mandates of the 90's. AFAIK browsers stopped supporting this a long time back.

after having some direct awareness of how traffic shows up in netflow and the nature of global routing, i am not convinced that it requires a global visibility per se, but certainly is dependent on where traffic lands in a global sense. it’s a small world on the big ol internet.

Voters have no agency? Kind of a dim view on democratic processes.
