Holy propaganda batman!

The list of articles on that website is…extremely focused on one subject only.

Nope. Bitkeeper used it in the master-slave pairing and the term was carried forward. Gitlab did a whole writeup about it.

TCP Selective Ack is very much a thing, but it does take extra memory so lots of TCP stacks exclude it or disable it by default.

TCP was never designed with wifi in mind. TCP retransmission was only ever meant to handle drops due to congestion, not lossy links.

Tmux is a wonderful complement to mosh. Together you get persistence even when your local client loses power (speaking from experience)

I worked with mosh for years to connect to servers on other continents. It was impossible to work otherwise. It only has two small warts: forwarding, and jump hosts.

The second is fixable/ish with an overlay network, but that isn’t always an option if you don’t control the network. I tried to solve this with socat but wasn’t able to configure it correctly - something about the socket reuse flag was very unhappy.

• MSF provide health services and are around 80% efficient (20% of your donation goes to overhead). I’m not sure if they make it easy to earmark a donation to Gaza.
• UNICEF does more infrastructure projects, but have around 30% overhead.

If you really want to maximize your impact, check if your employer or professional association have donation matching for various large charities.

There are obviously many more charities - these are two that I believe have the highest chances of actually reaching civilians in Gaza and not being diverted.

Also that in order to exploit this it requires an active man in the middle. Which requires any of the following:

• Reverse proxy hijack/NAT hijack - from a compromised machine near the server
• BGP hijack - stealing traffic to the real IP
• DNS hijack - stealing traffic to send to a different IP
• Malicious/compromised network transit
• Local network gateway control
• WAP poisoning - wifi roaming is designed really well so this is actually easier than it sounds.

Almost all of those have decent mitigations like 801.x and BGP monitoring. The best mitigation is that you can just change your client config to disable those ciphersuites though.

I was not expecting the drama around it. Is the issue truly a different orthography or is more like a different font/ligature issue?

EDIT: forgot the article I found on it: https://restofworld.org/2021/tulu-unicode-script/

Weetabix would like a word

I don’t like SQL. It’s unstandardized and ugly and irritating - and it gets everywhere.
