TMV can not be infinity because human wants and needs are not infinite.

Harris explicitly said only for people worth $100 million. You can have the opinion that politicians will derive from their plan, but it is a big assumption, nothing else.

lo0dot0on Expect – Linux tool for automating interactive programs

What the hell. If the device you are logging into supports sudo then it probably supports bash or python too. In that case a better solution is to create a script on the target device and then call that script over ssh, using key-based authentication. You do not need expect. Expect is mainly used on devices with a rigid terminal UI that do not support scripting and require interactive password authentication.

lo0dot0on CalcGPT

You can only get an 8 in the rightmost digit of the result by multiples of the rightmost digits, but 08 obviously gets you a 0, so fairly easy to see this is wrong.

lo0dot0on End-to-end congestion control cannot avoid latency spikes (2022)

So the network is not oversubscribed but you have packet drops. Isn't that a contradiction?

lo0dot0on End-to-end congestion control cannot avoid latency spikes (2022)

It's not helpful to say the term oversubscribed if you mean something different than the existing meaning. Just make up your own word for what you mean or use a different word.

lo0dot0on End-to-end congestion control cannot avoid latency spikes (2022)

The entire network is usually oversubscribed so there can be congestion. It is usually not over-provisioned because that would be too expensive.

lo0dot0on The zombie misconception of theoretical computer science

I don't understand your proof. It would make more sense to me if I add the additional idea that there is some p* where p* = h , where p* is part of p = 1 to infinity. So you have tried to define the halting program, but this led to a contradiction.

lo0dot0on Multipath TCP for Linux (2022)

For a long time enterprise firewalls (and more recently SD-WAN) allowed load balancing between different links, but unlike MPTCP the traffic of a single TCP connection is not split up. This is in line with the established network admin wisdom saying that reordering packets of a TCP connection hurts performance.

lo0dot0on I used to not worry about climate change. Now I do [video]

A car is more or less efficient than cycling, depending on the food, car and source of electrical power, and manufacturing CO2 production. The bicycle production emits a less CO2 than the car production, tilting the comparison at the beginning of the lifecycle of both.

The GHG emissions associated with food intake required to fuel a kilometre of walking range between 0.05 kgCO2e/km in the least economically developed countries to 0.26 kgCO2e/km in the most economically developed countries.

A Tesla model 3 according to WLTP test cycle uses

0.191 kWh / km * 0.434 kgCO2e/kWh = 0.083 kgCO2e / km
