DoH looks identical to normal website traffic. If it's slow, it's probably the DoH provider and not the ISP.

The players know that. Their characters don't.

You mean SNI, not ESNI. ESNI is the Encrypted Server Name Indication that gets around that, though the newer ECH (Encrypted Client Hello) is better in many ways. Not all sites support either though.

Same. I'd rather pay than have advertising.

You don't have an autoformatter in your pre-commit hook? Why not?

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

    
int const golden = 1.618;
int* non_constant = (int*)&golden;
golden = 1.61803399;

  

Casts are totally not a danger that should require a comment explaining safety…

And more generally mutable aliasing references of any sort are evil. Doesn't mean they're not useful, just that you need magic protection spells (mutexes, semaphores, fancy lock-free algorithms, atomics, etc) to use them safely. Skip the spell or use she wrong one, and the demon escapes and destroys all you hold dear.

Yep, it's basically a way to define new groups per directory. But these groups are hidden from the normal group commands!

Hah! Lots of (shitty) sites don't allow some "special" characters, like '. That's usually a sign that they're storing passwords insecurely, and it's always a sign that they're not following current security best practices (composition rules reduce security).

Well, you've got 1. And -1. And sqrt(-1). And the unit pseudoscalars of the Clifford algebras for every number of dimensions.

So there are a countably infinite number of solutions. Can anyone find a bigger set? Something with an uncountably infinite set of solutions?

I deliberately run / and /home as tmpfs. Then everything I want to persist across boots gets symlinked in at system start, and anything I didn't opt in to saving gets deleted every boot.

Light is made of quanta. Neither waves nor particles.

EFI systems don't use the MBR. Windows will default to using the whole disk if you don't use the "advanced" button, but so will most linux distro installers.

Not with EFI boot. If you deliberately use legacy BIOS emulation to boot, it can. So don't do that.

With EFI systems this doesn't matter. It was an issue with the legacy BIOS bootloader systems about a decade ago though.

If you heat carbon in a vacuum, it sublimates straight to gas. If you heat it under extreme pressure in an inert gas atmosphere, then it can melt. Unfortunately creating such pressures in the lab is only possible with diamond anvil presses, which are themselves carbon and thus tend to sublimate from the heat, resulting in pressure vessel failure. Doing the experiment on the surface of a neutron star would work, but presents some other difficulties.

And the cashier is probably going to screw up the bagging. Does the ice cream go in the insulated re-usable bag, or does it go in a regular bag next to the room temperature canned goods? Pretty good chance it goes into the uninsulated bag, the tomatoes end up in the insulated bag with the milk, etc.

Looks a heck of a lot like the RS-485 serial cable I've got on my desk right now. Scale is hard to tell, not sure how big that bowl is.

On libc functions yes. Maybe on some from other libs, if they provide man pages.
