I recall joystick PEEKs being fine as long as you used port 2. Port 1 was muxed with the keyboard port and would type characters (2's and left arrows from what I remember).
Without copyright, artist B could perform artist A's original work without penalty. If artist B is better at astroturfing social media than A (maybe because they pay a firm to do it) , then B makes money and A does not.
It's fine. IPv4 addresses might get too expensive at some point, encouraging their deprecation. Or it's entirely possible having the option of IPv6 prevents IPv4 addresses from getting prohibitvely costly. Either way, IPv6 has its role.
ASCII was created in the 1960s. That's around the time when the industry wasn't really sure if all files were just going to be a stream of bytes that were completely up to programs to interpret, or if it was the OS's responsibility to enforce a database-like structure on all disk-like I/O.
Do you have a data cap? The cable provider near me charges you $10 for every 50GB over 1.25TB monthly. A while ago they offered an "unlimited" plan without that cap at a higher monthly rate.
I've never heard of a fiber connection with a data cap like that. I ended up moving to fiber eventually, it was cheaper for the same speed and the upload speed matched the download speed as well.
Get off the short bus twin. CPU backdoors do no good unless there is cooperation with network driver code or the CPU itself has full operating system with a full network stack.
Intel's ME comes really close to that, but I don't think Intel's ME has drivers for every possible NIC and bus a NIC can appear on in its little Minix. So, just put a Broadcom NIC in a PCIe slot and leave the Intel onboard NIC empty, or LAN facing only.
Xiaomi may get Chinese 4G/5G baseband chip manufacturers to put in backdoors in Chinese phones, but they're not needed - the Chinese government pretty much already has total control of its Internet. For other countries, how are they going to make Qualcomm provide something undocumented CPU instructions can access.
- If you can buy sugar on SNAP you can just make Kool-Aid, with 2 or 3 cups of sugar per gallon instead of one if that's your taste. Or you can get the powdered tea or lemonade and make super sweet tea/lemonade. Maybe it's slightly healthier.
- At my local Wal-mart, across from the soda aisle is the juice aisle. There's some "healthy" juices like apple, and grape, but also Hawaiian Punch, Sunny D, and their generic equivalents. These are basically high fructose corn syrup with a few flavorings and dyes. These might still be SNAP eligible since they're juices and not soda.
Any publicly accessible protocol, such as Ethernet (wired and wireless) can only do so much to prevent DoS/DDoS on a given open multiple access medium.
You can certainly bake in fairness, congestion control, etc. in the protocol level, but protocols require 2 participants to follow rules/spec to work, and if one side doesn't follow the rules/spec, at the very least some bandwidth will be consumed.
The only way to absolutely prevent DoS/DDoS is to have more bandwidth than all possible simultaneous attackers, or limit physical access to the medium. Cellular networks, for example, keep direct physical access to its medium under tight lock and key through proprietary, non-open-source baseband firmware.
Of course, you can't protect against all types of abuse perfectly, and an attacker will always be able to degrade the network to some extent. However, I fear that a larger Reticulum network would become unusable if an attacker put in even a modicum of effort. You could whitelist everything, but then the project would lose its core goal of being a free network.
