The animation is confusing...is one trip to the end and back the 1B iterations? I thought maybe they were counting up and once the slowest reached the end they would all stop but that didn't seem to be it. Maybe if it did (and there was a counter on each showing how many bounces they made), it'd be a little more clear.

Interesting nonetheless.

Not natively. There is other firmware out there, though, that allows such functionality. Depending on where you live, it may be illegal to even try, though, hence the native firmware locking out such use (you can record or visualize but not save/replay).

Probably as enforceable as any other EULA. Windows surely has similar language. I'd guess that somewhere buried deep in the agreements, or somewhere, it says they can audit your usage somehow. Does it ever happen? I'd be curious to know.

Wonder why it seems like all QT5 are "no help wanted"...

Agreed. Interesting that Yahoo was your choice. I may try it as well (have experimented with DDG and Bing a bit, but haven't used Yahoo since it was the only option back in the day).

Off topic (sorry), but has the quality of searches been on a steady decline over the last year or two? If I'm not just imagining things, wonder if it is because they changed the algo or if there is too much noise for the algo to work well anymore. Frustrating nonetheless...

IF configured away from the defaults:

By relying on the default keepalive limit, NGINX prevents this type of attack. Creating additional connections to circumvent this limit exposes bad actors via standard layer 4 monitoring and alerting tools.

However, if NGINX is configured with a keepalive that is substantially higher than the default and recommended setting, the attack may deplete system resources.

In the article one of the attendants says "I hit stop on Pump 3 and nothing happens" so they are at least seeing the pump is on and running. Whatever is happening must be either locking the attendant out or is leaving the attendants machine in a bad state with the pump running switch "on" so to speak. I wonder if it's actually NFC. It'd be interesting to see what a Flipper Zero would come up with.

There are multiple mentions of "extraterrestrial super islands", is this a mistranslation of the Meissner effect? Great term nonetheless.

Strangely, I get a Russian IP address for an answer when I query 1.1.1.1 for archive.is:

Not sure why this would be happening (looks like at least one other person in the thread is seeing same result).

I get the same result when I query 1.1.1.1 or 1.0.0.1 for archive.is:

    ┌

Wonder why that is happening...

You don't have to "hazard a guess", one of their engineers gave you their email address in that other thread. They also invited you to their discord. Have you tried talking to someone directly at the source?
