How I Evaluate an ACR (VPAT®)
ACRs are Accessibility Conformance Reports, which are the output of a VPAT, or Voluntary Product Accessibility Template maintained by ITIC, or the Information Technology Industry Council (which is why VPAT often has a ® symbol hanging off it). An organization may fill out the template to indicate how or if…

My message to Gaggle Mail:

I just want to let you know that I decided not to continue evaluating your service after I noticed that you have a setting to use ChatGPT from OpenAI turned on by default.

Among many other things, OpenAI is Trump's biggest donor and used by ICE.

It is one of the most morally corrupt companies in operation today and it was hugely disappointing to me to see a company that embraced the classic listserv platform (yay!) also integrating the w…

OK, I think I have a reasonably efficient table driven implementation of the 100baseTX scrambler LFSR, capable of predicting future scrambler states with offsets of up to 2^30-1 in constant time.
I still don't grok the math. I ended up doing this by essentially bruteforcing the algebraic solution, creating a class representing a 11th-order polynomial with boolean coefficients symbolically and evaluating the LFSR in a loop 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc. times.
The table generator logic …

Evaluating BBRv2 on the Dropbox Edge Network
Nowadays, loss-based TCP congestion controls in general and CUBIC specifically became the de facto standard for the Internet. BBR congestion control challenges the loss-based approach by modeling the network based on estimated bandwidth and round-trip time. At Dropbox, we've been using BBRv1 since 2017 and are accustomed to its pros and cons. BBRv2 introduces a set of improvements to network modeling (explicit loss targets and inflight limits) and fairness (differential probing and headroom for…
