Broadband Map tracks priority levels for the big three US carriers' plans and the MVNOs they support. I paid $225 promo pricing for one year of Visible+ Pro with unlimited priority Verizon data and all taxes and fees included ($18.75/mo), so I can pay full price for a flagship phone and end up ahead of any carrier phone deal.

That’s a useful resource. Thanks.

Have you looked at https://github.com/dmunozv04/iSponsorBlockTV ?

The latest SSDs benchmark at 3GB/s and up. The marginal latency would be trivial compared to the inference time.

Is this true? Kraken and Bitfinex both seem to support XMR <-> USD

They don't support it for EU customers since 2024 due to new EU regulations. It sucks.

Victims can spend hundreds of hours over the course of years navigating corporate and legal bureaucracies before their account balances and credit scores are restored. The system absolutely makes a bank error the victim’s problem to solve. Guilty until proven innocent.

I asked Google AI Mode “does Google ai mode make tens of site requests for a single prompt” and it showed “Looking at 69 sites” before giving a response about query fan-out.

Cloudflare has some large part of the web cached, IA takes too long to respond and couldn’t handle the load. Google/OpenAI and co could cache these pages but apparently don’t do it aggressively enough or at all

I don't think you're correct about Google. Caching webpages is bread-and-butter for search engines, that's how they show snippets.

They might cache it, but what if it changed in the last 30 seconds and now their information is out of date? Better make another request just in case.

That's not how search engines work. They have a good idea of which pages might be frequently updated. That's how "news search" works, and even small startup search engines like blekko had news search.

Indeed. My understanding is that crawl is a real expense at scale so they optimize for "just enough" to catch most site update rhythms and then use other signals (like blog pings, or someone searching for a URL that's not yet crawled, etc) to selectively chase fresher content.

My experience is that a news crawl is not a big expense at scale, but so far I've only built one and inherited one. BTW No one uses blog pings, the latest hotness is IndexNow.

How would a server-side NAT know which Hetzner customer it should route a request to? It has an encrypted packet arriving at this shared address on port 443. You can route a shared address to the proper service based on the HTTP Host header but that can only be done by the customer using their encryption key, so no sharing an address between customers. Home LAN NAT only works because the router can change the source port used by the request so that responses are unambiguously routed to the right client.

I don't think they're saying they should support incoming connections on such a NAT, I think they're saying that servers behind the NAT would be able to make outgoing connections (e.g. to access shared resources).

Well, the answer is easy. It doesn't do any forwarding, so a random 443 packet gets dropped.

It would be the same as with home NAT. Your device can create TCP connections outbound but can't listen/accept.

It would solve the problem of not being able to communicate to another IPv4 server but it prevents you from hosting your own.

DC is a city, not a state. You seem to be aware of this distinction in this comment [1] and yet you conflate the two here..

She follows same reset flow as before. Passkeys are identical in this respect to the passwords of yore.

If granny forgets her password, she looks it up on the last page of her notebook where it is written down. Granny cannot write down her passkey.

To avoid getting locked out you could add 2-3 passkeys from different providers to each account. And/or use a passkey provider that allows backups, and back up your keys. But I doubt many people will have the discipline to do either of that.

Then that's worse, it's now two authentication flows to remember. It's only made the situation more complicated.

Honest question: isn't that introducing some weaknesses, allowing the attacker to either reactivate password auth or add it's own passkey eh by tricking the user in accepting that change after receiving a mail with a link to accept that change? That would make the passkey unbreakable, but leave other easier to exploit weaknesses.

No. You always need that flow.

The problem with passkeys is they’re very unfamiliar and it’s easier therefore for less experienced users to get confused or tricked.

Do you have any examples of such services? How do they handle the lost phone case? Tell people to go pound stand?

I don't have access but I wonder whether a dog on a jetski would be nearly as good
