in my script kid days, ( 30 years ago ) I did something similar for linux , using raw sockets and I think with ETH_P_ALL. embedding into a an already existing regular linux process ( recompiling the source code ) the problem was high cpu usage of the process when network usage was intensive. of course it did't survive when the OS updated the program.
can't believe that is not intentional. fishy

macsec can encrypt data in ethernet for lan, maybe it can solve this
The numbers seems to be too much near 65535 to be a coincidence.

are you making the request from a single IP address source? are you aware of the limit of using the same source IP address for the same destination IP address ( and port )? ( each connection can have only a unique source address and source port to the destination, maxing out in source 65535 ports ) for the same destination

no need to mess with the kernel, block on the local machine firewall outgoing RST packet ,create a program that reads raw socket for incoming SYN and answer the syn/ack). but anyway, this technique will not differentiate legitimate connections.

since google is tier 1 network. does anyone knows if they pay for bandwidth for serving youtube?
fork is extremely heavy, threads are way lighter, but still opening thousands of threads can become a problem. opening a thread just to wait for a socket operation don't make sense. and the low level requirements to use ( select/iopool syscalls ) is hard. coroutines of async/await solve this problem.
I do not agreed. Its was not even worth without llm. Junior will always take a LOT of time from seniors. and when the junior become good enough, he will find another job. and the senior will be stuck in this loop.

junior + llm, it even worse. they become prompt engineers

unless you accepted an invalid https certified popup, its not possible, even on public wifi. or maybe you still type: http:// instead of https://, and then is easy to fake a dns response to point to a clone site

Re:SSDs Have Become Fast, Except in the Cloud on Tuesday February 20, 2024 @12:51PM (#39444360)
it is not worth to use cloud if you need a lot of iops/bandwidth

heck, its not worth for anything besides scalability

dedicated servers are wayyyy cheaper

Re:How to Build a IP Geolocation Database from Scratch? on Friday September 15, 2023 @12:26AM (#37518418)
a long time ago i build a project like that but instead of relying on whois. i did a traceroute to every ipv4 address avaliable. several router hops, have a reverse dns that uses some names that include city codes, (like airport codes ). most providers have a single hop for a city. so its easy to correlate the latest router hop to a city.
A little off topic, i don´t know your use case, but you can use an old phone as webcam, they will be better in quality than any IP camera.

A little example using my old galaxy s11. ( its connected to a pc using usb, airplane mode, no internet )

there is a ton of devices that do that on amazon. here ( Brazil/beach ) i get only 300-400 ppm, ps: i dont use gas to Cook/shower. everything is elétric
i was BANNED from hetzner when i forgot to Pay ( it has been almost 10 years ).at the time i offer to Pay any debts, but they said that i was not welcome anymore.
They also banned me because I forgot to pay one month ( and my contact email was one that I didn’t use anymore ). After a year I tried to resubscribe and they denied me, ( I offered to pay any debt , but they refuse )

one mistake in my logs, and my account was due > 10k us$. until a manager contact-me after a month. It appears to be a method to force a "sales" call.

A simple indicator of how much you are due ( daily ) would solve this kind of problem. ( google/reddit shows that this kind of problem happens all the time in the last 2 years )

Re:Timescale raises $110M Series C on Wednesday February 23, 2022 @03:39AM (#30439035)
I have done no optimization, no WAL partition, no slave (yet). i'm just using a single t3a.xlarge Aws instance with 1500 IOPS (EBS Volume).

we use 1500IOPS just to speed up our read-only jobs and reports.

i'm just using AWS EBS snapshot feature ( every hour ) for backup.

Re:Timescale raises $110M Series C on Tuesday February 22, 2022 @04:22PM (#30434013)
i'm using timescale to store sensor/gps log ( 50 inserts/s - 24/7 ). after 2 months still very good )
