Home much success have you have with GeoDNS? We've seen it fail when users are using privacy respecting resolvers like 1.1.1.1. It gets the continent right but fails on city/state level.

Which APIs would one use to implement this feature on Mac and Windows? For example is there a OS level flag that one can include on windows to not allow capturing of the app’s window - or is a notification sent out when someone tries to capture the screen (and then one can just blank the window)?

One thing the article doesn’t mention is how they figured out that waiting for external memory access is the bottleneck. Are there any profiling tools available that would tell the developer that the cpu is waiting for external memory x% of the time?

Does Flow-IPC protect against malformed messages? For example a client sending malformed messages to a server process

Slightly off topic: I’m setting up a home server on a Mini PC that has Windows 11 Pro pre-installed. I want to attach it to my TV and play retro games as well as run home automation tasks (periodic scripts, UniFi controller, Pihole etc)

Is anyone using Proxmox on their homelabs? Would you recommend blowing away Windows and installing Proxmox and then install Windows with PCIE passthrough?

No. This is not a ISP problem and the ISP can not solve this - it’s not even visible to the ISP for encrypted connections. This a problem with HTTP/2 itself that web servers / load balancers / proxies need to account for.

Any suggestions to alternative to webhooks? I feel a ‘pull’ based model with cursors and long polling would be simpler and more reliable than webhooks.

It also has a built-in AV1 Decoder! This is the first time Apple has indicated they're going to start using AV1!

How is this a problem for most users? When was the last time someone actually plugged in an iPhone to a computer to sync data? Most syncing happens over wifi for most users (90%+ I would say). Even development happens over wifi now.

Can you please explain why a third party browser can’t lie about its hash, just like it can lie about it’s user agent?

Congrats! Looks quite good. Will be trying it out. How have you reduced CPU utilization besides moving to Rust? Are you using hardware accelerated encoding?

Honeywell T9 is also quite good - supports remote sensors and lets you decide which sensors to average out depending on your schedule.
