Why would one want this? Are there particular situation(s) that it's desirable to detect a TCP proxy? Does presence of a TCP proxy indicate some adverserial behaviour? E.g. surveillance, censorship, a particular attack?

There was https://idiallo.com/blog/zipbomb-protection earlier this year. It sends highly compressed output of /dev/zero. No overlapping files or recursively compressed payloads.

Around 1999 I interned at Philips Semiconductor. I worked with one of the first or early engineers of Teletext (aka BBC Ceefax) - a system designed in the 1970s that encoded text pages within an analog TV signal.

The World Wide Web was just getting popular and he was happy to point out he managed to get @ into the limited character set (maybe called a codepage?) all the way back in the 1970s. However many (all?) international variants used different character sets that replaced @ and other uncommon characters with accented characters for their alphabets/languages.

As a result Teletext in the UK (using the english character set) could show email addresses, but not in most (all?) other countries.

It crashed the browser tab for me - Firefox desktop on macOS.

In https://github.com/patrick-kidger/tinyio/blob/main/tinyio/__... there's

    from ._core import (
        Loop as Loop,
        sleep as sleep,
        ...
    )

I wasn't trying to suggest they wil. I emphasised Gossi's If because I missed it on my first read. I didn't want others making the same mistake.

The Legal Aid breach is, I’m told, a ransomware/extortion group (not mentioned in the notice). If it looks like the UK gov are going to pay, or pay via third party, this one will become a megathread. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/legal-aid-agency-data-bre... -- https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/114533584686916433

Note Gossi's "If". There's no indication so far wrt possible payment.

Semi related, I created linesum a few years back https://github.com/moreati/linesum to line by line sha256.

UK is first inspection (called an MOT) at 3 years, then every 1 year until the car is considered 'classic' - after 40 years with caveats

I'm pleasantly surprised there are any devices supporting SD Express. I thought the standard had died on the vine. So Apple, please pull your finger out and include SD Express in the MBP models that have an SD slot.

I don't know the current draw of either. I don't know if newer designs are better, I only have one I bought around 10-15 years ago. For mine a bettery left in the calipers depletes within a few months, without use.

Recommend you take the CR2032 out when not using the calipers. Cheap/no name ones (atleast those sold 5-10 years ago) have a relatively high standby current, even when the LCD screen is off.

What's in that 4.5 TB? e.g. message metadata? Message text? Media?

What time window does it cover? A rolling N day window? Everything since year dot?

Can it be pruned? e.g. only data of accounts followed or messages interacted with

Was fully expecting wcurl to be an alternative name for curl on Windows, because Microsoft made "curl" an alias for their own http downloader command in Powershell.

I thought it might be Generations, but that was 257.4 MHz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A9IZHWz45Q&t=20s

https://diode.zone has been running many years. It was the first peertube instance I came across. Edit: https://tilvids.com/ is another

At a guess: that hash is performed relatively few times, so any performance difference is lost in the noise floor. Never having to answer "why did you use this insecure hash" or eliminating/minimising any possibility of a class of security problem is worth more.

Most or many, but not all. Apple Macbook supplies are a counterexample, e.g. https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/product/MX0J2B/A/96w-usb-c-pow...

Wolfcraft folding trolley (sack cart). It has a solid axle so it can still take heavier loads, unlike cheaper folding models. Good when your parking spot is a long from from your front door, such as in an apartment block.

What's LOK in this context? Search and Wikipedia didn't throw up anything. Thanks.

I've also seen "the recipe itself isn't copyrightable, so they add prose/filler that is".

The first paragraph claims (I've not tried it) that the same trick works in ~/.ssh/id_*.pub.

https://www.hedy.org/ is billed as an incremental bridge from Scratch to Python, with built in learning aids and teaching aids.

For anyone else curious, NMC is probably https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_nickel_manganese_cobal...

Lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides (abbreviated Li-NMC, LNMC, or NMC) are mixed metal oxides of lithium, nickel, manganese and cobalt. They have the general formula LiNixMnyCozO2. ... NMCs are among the most important storage materials for lithium ions in lithium ion batteries. They are used on the positive side, which acts as the cathode during discharge.

Sorry, I didn't mean to trim that.

Some regex engines/dialects also allow pre-defined named subroutines (variables) with `(?(DEFINE) (?<name>pattern)...)` http://www.rexegg.com/regex-disambiguation.html#define, but it's a very niche feature. e.g. https://gist.github.com/moreati/9d974e5395829d737dc342715f15...
