TCP options are quite different from IP options.

IP options are annoying in big fast routers because they have to take the slow route via CPU. As there's not a lot of use in accepting packets (externally at least) with IP options, they tend to be dropped totally (but will almost certainly be policed aggressively to the CPU as the CPU is not good for moving many packets).

uhh.. i dont think amd or intel has even attempted to make a s/n accessible on their CPUs since the big stink in the 90's.

lol ive seen the pathological variant of this pattern and it is... something the hell else.

some situations are just fundamentally broken.

yep that makes more sense.

DMAing as opposed to what?

wifi handing out public IPs? :)

wat? thats submillisecond. im not an etcd expert by any means, but nothing ive seen has given submillisecond as a performance criteria.

do you have a point of reference? this would definitely change some architecture items i’ve got on my list.

wireguard, notably, utilizes IP addresses for L2 semantics.

a bit disappointed this only points to ethernet as its answer. it does help to understand why ethernet requires addressing versus some others that do not.

the gold one, yeah. since it is an immigrant visa… but well situated applicants who want this done in a timely manner already have other options.

lol this still requires a chargeable visa. i imagine this won’t get so much traction then.

not that simple to apply necessarily. lots of security junk on modern bios. keeps ya safe, ya know.

reddit has a lot of sick puppies of all sorts and kinds. that is not a place of wellness in any sense ime.

maybe one of the BSP people can give more info, but i believe that it comes with e.g. ACPI and such to avoid device trees.

I have really strong opinions against the device-secured biometric stuff. On my own devices, I will never use it as it dramatically lowers my security posture.

Further, the development of this ecosystem is to the exclusion of alternative OSes. Windows Hello and whatever apple wants to call their suite of biometric goo is elevating them to a place in my life that is unacceptable by virtue of the unwarranted trust granted to them.
