Each level on the chart has 10x the bandwidth of the level above it. It's not really that much spectrum.

with spammed curl -i, I get

Expires header in the past seems suspect. And all the header names are lowercased.

It's usually used to prevent caching from older caching systems.

Fun fact: this specific value of Expires is the birthday of Sasha Schumann, the person who added this code to PHP[1][2].

Expires header in the past is typically used to prevent caching.

The lower-case headers is part of the http2 specification.

Lower case headers are required for http/2 requests and responses.

If you really need a lower tier, you can switch currencies to JPY, there's a monthly option for 500JPY which is about 2.67GBP.

If ISPs were like an electric utility, we'd see something like a cost per GB transferred in cents, with a minimum charge reflecting the cost of maintaining a connection of a certain speed to the network.

Which is algebraically identical to a monthly charge and data cap with overage charge. The main issue is the overage charge is too high, it should be like 1 cent per GB (Comcast is charging 20x that).

1c/GB would be a decent rate for home data transfer in 2023, but where would you set the free limit? For reference, at my house I have a 1Gbps line and it looks like in 48 hours I have downloaded 1TB of data (looking at the number of received bytes my AT&T device is reporting). Am I normal? I don't know, but AT&T does...

I think that's rather high compared to average, considering the standard cap for Comcast Xfinity residential is 1.2TiB per month, and they claim only "a very small percentage" of their customers use more.

I don't think the actual cap really matters if the per-GB and base pricing reflects the true costs. If it's low it means heavy users pay more, if it's high, light users pay more.

1TB in 48 hours is absolutely not a normal residential connection usage.

The average US residential customer uses a bit over 500GB/mo in data. You're doing 2x that in 1/15th the time.

Mandatory speed governors would help.

While you have 3 consoles you should play Tri Force Heros with a couple of friends!

Get a fourth and do Four Swords!

you are (mostly) agreeing (except for precise definitions of metallic and ceramic). Their comment is unclear, but it means

"In almost all applications of superconductors, they don't use high-temperature ones. [...] The ones [the superconductors] that see use in the LHC, for instance, aren't [high temperature superconductors]."

It just has a sentence in the middle of it that confuses you into thinking their antecedents are "the HTSCs" and "ceramic" instead of "the SCs" and "HTSCs".

Is this a common slang in infosec? I've never seen it used like this and it has highly insensitive connotations for me in other contexts.

I had to google to check, and I’ve found so many interpretations that I feel like a linguist would have a field day with that word alone.

No it’s not and its use should not be perpetuated in this context.

It’s definitely the homophobia you are perceiving.

No one misses the edge lords of yesteryear.

Well there's the computer "virus" metaphor. Arguably one of the most mainstream concepts of information security. There's also attack "vector".

I haven't heard anyone using that homophobic edgelord word in probably a decade. Maybe a time traveler?

I see a lot of comments mentioning "residual keys". Is that the same as the "resident keys" the article talks about?

I think you mean you see three comments by the same person mentioning that.

They're just using the wrong word.

Yelp's stated policy is to remove reviews by people who didn't actually directly interact with the business, regardless of the content.

So if I went to a business and was solicited by an employee, I could mention that in a review without it being taken down?
