Important to note that it only helps against DDoS that originates within layer7 e.g. recursively downloading specific page URLs, especially many dynamic ones that are easy to slow down the entire webserver with, such as with git platforms.

Someone (or their botnet) sending a "real" DDoS of a few terabits/sec of layer3 traffic your way cannot be stopped by software running at a higher layer at all. Your only recourse there is playing a cat-and-mouse game of who can change IP addresses fast enough.

Depends on your definition of "work".

For me it does not work because I'd want to use it with values < 0, but the for loop checks for > 0, so I would have to modify that first.

Damn, my check must've gotten lost in the mail.

> Don't most microcontrollers support executing directly from flash?

Yes... I presume they meant XIP for multiple programs at once, since you'd need an MMU for that.

There are other types of non-personal reasons people still use email. I certainly don't SMS or WhatsApp with my work colleagues or any of our vendors.

> I don’t personally know anyone who has ever ran from the cops to evade a traffic violation.

I do... you would be shocked how many people actually do this. You just don't hang out with the wrong enough friends.

Objectively reasonable? How is that measured again?
