M1: A design flaw slowed down Apple’s VNC

I think this is a fluff piece written to market Scaleway by injecting M1 as an irrelevant SEO keyword.

They had folks running a Denial of Service attack against their VNC services, so they implemented fail2ban style rate limiting.

This has nothing to do with the M1 silicon nor is it a design flaw.

The article is unfortunately devoid of much technical detail, but this does sound like an application layer DoS.

Particularly for a service that's going to be exposed, it does seem like a flaw that unauthenticated packets would slow it down so much for legitimate users.

It's not major though, and just adds to the huge pile of reasons why Apple's remote desktop sucks.

"M1" is clickbait though.

Looks like scaleway.com posts are dead until vouched for. This one seems interesting so I vouched for it.

Not sure I’d vouch for this, since the headline and the content premise make no sense to me.

The sibling comment here, DoS targeting VNC solved by fail2ban, doesn’t substantiate the level of click-bait-ness in the headline and article opening.
