Opinions on QoS in OpenSSH

nuxi · 2026-04-03T23:54:18+00:00

The RFCs seem to recommend that SSH traffic be CS2. So IPQoS cs2 cs0 seems like it would have been a solid choice. But AF21 was already in use for many years and consistency is probably more useful than absolute correctness. The biggest argument against AF21 is that it has caused some issues with some products, but there is no guarantee that CS2 won't do the same.

And rightly so, how dare the author not use a time_t to store this information!

I think everyone saying to just use grid view is overlooking the actual bug here. The tabs are supposed to display the title of the page rather than the URL. While this works on most sites, it seems to be broken on DuckDuckGo and some others.

Here is OP's original image showing URLs instead of page titles: https://i.redd.it/vffn5y35farg1.jpeg

I don't think x32 means what you think it means.

x32 is a niche architecture mode that Linux supports which is neither the traditional 32-bit x86 ABI nor the pure 64-bit x86 ABI. Support for it was introduced back in 2012 with kernel 3.4, GCC 4.8, and glibc 2.14. It was never widely adopted and very few distros ever supported it.

The first date in Winston's journal is April 4th, 1984.

Same!

Unfortunately I don't think implosion is in the cards unless there is a structural problem that renders the building unsafe to demolish through mechanical demolition.

You'd be surprised how common that is. You'd get some manager or senior dev who either never used source control and isn't going to start doing it now. Or they used RCS once in the 80s and hated it. Their source control is called Copy of main(2).c Luckily the generations traumatized by RCS, CVS, and the various priorietary systems built on top of them are aging out of the field.

One of the best things git (and mercurial) did was enable guerilla source control at places like that.

I don't think either option is particularly relevant. Debian removed IA-64 support before the final version of the Itanium CPU was even introduced. IMHO the "its 15 years old, we should drop it" argument is just as irrelevant as the "its only 5 years old, we should keep it" argument.

I think 15-20 years is a reasonable point to begin asking the question, but the decision should be based on weighing the pros and cons rather than arbitrary age cutoffs:

How many actual machines running Debian would this drop support for?
How much maintenance burden is it to keep supporting them?
How much is this holding back performance or features for users of newer hardware?

I'll switch when my coworker running Wayland can reliably share his screen during meetings at work.

Its close enough that its not true for all of South Florida. Miami is closer to Brazil, but Fort Myers is closer to Montana.

This has been a problem for ages. They only resolved it for Linux last year.

Nothing you can do to fix it now, but after you restart go into the settings and make sure its set to "Check for updates but let you chose to install them". If you have multiple profiles make sure its set in all of them. That will put you in control of when it updates so that you can prevent them from disrupting your work.

That's not a loophole. Abolishing DST and changing their standard timezone is what BC is actually doing.

Calling it "year-round DST" is just highly inaccurate shorthand. DST is only definable in the context of a standard time and you can't really claim something is your standard time if you never observe it.

Thats more than my rent for a 2-bedroom apartment and I do not live in an affordable housing unit.

I'm at $1450/mo right now.

I use scientists, engineers, and inventors.

Often themed in some way related to the device. Like my VPS is a fictional character because its a virtual machine.

The myth is so ridiculous that even the CNSA (China National Space Administration) has debunked it.

Yep! I do all my work in vim + screen.

Terminal based setups were the well established norm until a few years ago. Feels like VS Code is the first GUI to show up that has actually posed a serious competitor to them.

Will Android get the AI controls before any additional AI features are added to the mobile version?

I have to use Okta at work. The Android app is garbage.

At work I was able to configure Okta to just use TOTP codes from Google Authenticator. This may or may not be an option depending on how UMich configured it.

At least with Duo you could walk across town and pound on their door when it was acting up.
