Literally all we did all day in efnet was call every new, suspicious user a fed. (You can tell I'm old because we used the word "fed" instead of "glowie")

I have no idea, but I guess it doesn't really matter. If you start sending massive amounts of spam through gmail, does it matter if you did it after logging into the site with your user/password or through oauth api access or through smtp?

When you open a comment thread, the upper part of the scrollbar is hidden behind the header. You have to scroll down a bit to be able to see and drag the scrollbar thumb. This on Chrome on Windows.

Precisely why I abandoned Tor and shut down my relays. It went from a technical project that solved an interesting problem to a "human rights" project that wanted to shape the world in a liberal Western fashion. That's a no-no from me.

Why use 1.2/1.2 when you can use 2.4/1.2 ? It makes no sense whatsoever. Reducing download so you can say your connection is symmetric?

In any case GPON is already in its way out, new deployments use XGS-PON which is 10/10

Because technologies like GPON or HFC were designed with asymmetry in place because most users download much, much more than they upload. In the case of HFC the asymmetry can be particularly egregious.

GPON is limited to 2.4 gbps down, 1.2 gbps up. It's asymmetric.

Everything is performance-critical. I buy new hardware so it runs my software as fast as it can. Why would I upgrade my CPU if I knew my programs would start running slower?

I'm sure those options will be dog slow and unreliable.

I buy wintel so I can run my software from 15 years ago without interference. Literally the only reason I don't buy a mac. If they want to take that away, well, good luck to them
