There are only two weeks left until Chrome stops supporting XSLT, and Microsoft still hasn't released a patch to address KB5130994.https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/servicing/os/windows/docs/2026/10/kb5130994-rd-web-access-fails-to-load
zswap and systemd-oomd/earlyoom are your friends.

Why do you need a low ttl for those? You can add multiple IPs to your A/AAAA records for very basic load balancing. And DNS is a pretty bad idea for any kind of failover. You can set a very low ttl, but providers might simply enforce a larger one.

The play store version isn't updated anymore. You should switch to F-Droid.
Yet here we are in 2025, with OpenSSL still lacking a QUIC server API and RFC9000 approaching its fourth birthday.
While the price of energy production is likely to continue to fall, I fear that this will be completely overshadowed by the necessary investment in the grid. Both energy storage and the need to adapt the grid to the more decentralised nature of renewables could lead to a plateau in end user prices.

That's why you should run a tarpit instead.
With RFC8441 websockets are just HTTP/2 streams.
Your observation doesn't contradict the use of firewall rules to accomplish this.

If we stopped using things that had vulnerabilities, we'd be using sticks and stones by now.
Other operating systems weren't affected, so it's not inherent in the protocol itself.
The EEVDF scheduling algorithm is also a good example. Designed back in 1995 and it's the default process scheduler of Linux now.
Pseudo justification? The bark beetle is wreaking havoc in our forests here in Germany.
Ashton Kutcher and his Thorn organisation?
The author mentions PostgreSQL's JIT compiler. Up to this day, I've only seen it degrade the performance of queries. Disabling it is on my install checklist.

The performance difference between H1/H2 and H3 in this test doesn't really surprise me. The obvious part is the highly optimised TCP stack. But I fear that the benchmark setup itself might be a bit flawed.
The biggest factor is the caddy version used for the benchmark. The quic-go library in caddy v2.6.2 lacks GSO support, which is crucial to avoid high syscall overhead.
The quic-go version in caddy v2.6.2 also doesn't adjust UDP buffer sizes.
The other thing that's not clear from the blog post is the network path used. Running the benchmark over loopback only would give TCP-based protocols an advantage if the QUIC library doesn't support MTU discovery.
It's a bit like drag racing. If all you care about is the performance of a single transfer that doesn't have to deal with packet loss etc, HTTP/1 will win.
