Use one big server 4 years ago

batching multiple transactions into IO blocks where feasible. If your average transaction is substantially smaller than the IO block size, then you are probably leaving a lot of throughput on the table.

Could you expand on this? A quick Google search didn't help. Link to an article or a brief explanation would be nice!

Android has app system level options in the settings to disable WiFi/mobile data.

I tend to use that, and use Netguard as a fallback because the latter has an off by default config incase I forget to disable it for new apps.

Netguard on its own is insufficient because sometimes you'd need to use an actual VPN (which turns off Netguard)

Forget about DataClasses, TypedDict etc. Can't you achieve the same in python with a class and a dict? Is there a difference, other than perhaps being overloaded with options?

It's funny how much bashing Google gets for monopoly with Android, pushing users to use Chrome, Play Store and whatnot. While all of that is relevant, Apple's stranglehold seems much more and worse.

Why do you think a position as an NGO executive selects for that? Executives in general, yes. NGOs too?

You have to "install an application from an untrusted source, attackers can take advantage of that. Attackers can also take advantage of the bug if they pair it with vulnerabilities in the Chrome browser to render content."

I guess it informs us what not to do at the very least. Given the track record, I'm not very optimistic of the vendors pushing a patch very soon (if ever). This keeps us informed at least.
