Microwave is also affected by weather. They sometimes say that markets are slightly less efficient on rainy days. It’s a bit of a joke, but basically packet loss goes way up and they rely more on fiber links when microwave links are being shitty.

You make a contract with a company that does layer 3 ddos protection, you advertise a route including their AS on a subset of your prefixes and they route to you over a GRE tunnel.

Sorry for the noob questions here but why couldn’t you just firewall? ie only allow traffic forwarded from the DDOS proxy?

With these services the forwarding happens at a lower level. The traffic doesn't come from them - the source address is whoever actually sent the traffic. And the destination address is you, but the Internet thinks they are hosting you. They can't just forward the same packets to you because they'd just go back to the DDoS provider because that's where "you" "are". So they put the packets inside other packets and send them to you on a different address.

I suppose they could rewrite the destination to be your real address, and then send them to you without extra layers; you wouldn't get to know what the original destination address was; maybe if you only have one, it doesn't matter.

Kagi has the same problem for me. The results don't load about 50% of the time. I had to cancel my subscription because I couldn't just roll the dice every time I searched to see if it would come back. Happens to all devices on my network.

Not disputing your experience, but fwiw I've been using kagi since it was in beta (now a paying customer) and I can't remember this ever happening to me.

I feel like maybe this is your network. I've been using Kagi for months and have never even once had this happen, nor has anyone, ever, not even once, reported this kind of issue on the Discord.

Have you contacted their support?

I've never seen that, maybe some extension, content filter gone rogue?

The budget is already approved, the debt limit has nothing to do with it, it's just a cudgel with which one party bludgeons the other. It serves no other purpose.

Unfortunately (in the case of TRUST stores) it uses pkcs12 in a non-standard way. You cannot, for example, use openssl pkc12 to create a p12 store java can read. Java expects some oracle-specific non-standard attributes on the bag.

PKCS12 keystores work fine, however.

This is absolutely true. Checking if their reports are going to be impediments to their goals is critical for managers, especially if those goals were themselves aligned with THEIR managers. You don't want to assign significant responsibility to someone who might drag their feet on something.

I've never seen a response indicating the content is not subject to negotiation. I generally only see that the response is not acceptable (i.e. the client has indicated they can't accept it) and the server skips processing the request.

When I worked a summer at BJ's (a similar wholesale club) the manager informed me that this was by design. I was asking why we needed to move all the stuff, if we were discontinuing or something. He said nope, we just have to do this every now and then because it keeps people shopping longer. There may be an added "experience" element to it as well, but this was an eye opener to me as a teen.

It's actually worse than that. The first 3 groupings (textually) of the uuid might be little endian while the other 2 are big endian. Learning this cost me more time than I care to admit.

Making mixed-endian even more haunted is quite the achievement. I congratulate whoever did this at Microsoft for their lasting contribution.

This is consistent with the misguided structure in the RFC. The first three fields (the time fields) are multibyte integers. The remainder is just bytes. The dashes in the textual representation are just there to confuse you.

I had to write some EFI/GPT code earlier this year and was dumbfounded to learn this. This is right up there with the mork file format.

Why would this matter (except when you build an index for a big database)?

Note:

> 6.8. Opacity: UUIDs SHOULD be treated as opaque values and implementations SHOULD NOT examine the bits in a UUID to whatever extent is possible.

When you translate between UUIDs in binary and in text form and communicate with other code the binary UUIDs. The other code might expect the uuids in a different encoding.

What the…?

This fact will haunt me in my dreams :-p

Better down the drain then to radiate it back into your air. Then you gotta spend more energy pumping that heat outside (if you live in a hotter climate like I do).

Alternatively, use it to warm up the cold water coming into the shower (I'd guess the largest usage of hot water in a home). Warmer "cold" water mixing with the hot water means less hot water used out of the hot water heater. My understanding, placing this only on the cold supply to the shower is it'll only impact your showers. https://ecodrain.com/en/
