It sounds like it might be part of a DDoS campaign, as well. Hard to diagnose here.
She pulled 9Gs out of Khazakstan just so she could see you on Christmas day.
And she has to cruise back in the Morning!
Talk about rocket lag
But the whole, "neo-liberal arses" bit gave it the sense of an unhinged author or untrustworthy narrator.
We'd optimally want, e.g., aaa.ai to resolve as fast as zzz.zx. If we just loaded the file for every query and ran down the list linearly we'd probably see a large disparity with the former being much quicker than the latter.
So, the question would be: how is it done in an efficient way? Is it loaded into a btree, is each domain broken into various parts, are certain domains prioritized, threading, compression?
Plus, there's the queries for dns updates, and how the results get integrated.
The second merely suggests an unusually clever, yet plausible methodology.
Someone familiar with slight of hand could comfortably scratch here and there while dropping pieces in a 'build' pocket.
About 20 years ago (in college, of course) I ran OpenBSD on an UltraSparc 5 as our network router.
We had hundreds of meters of Ethernet cable running across the house and out through the windows - by way of a LinkSys switch - as it was the most "economical" route for the network.
WiFi back then was new, expensive, and comparatively slow. Sub 9ms ping is what we needed for gaming, and 54mbit wasn't gonna do it.
I worked hard on the firewall rules, and it had zero downtime, felt like a real sysadmin.
Maybe I was.
Qubes feels like the best answer, but ran too slow on my box to watch video.
Firejail feels like a decent balance but I found myself digging through config files when, e.g., I wanted to save a file from Gimp into a new location.
Expect any paradigm shift to take at least a decade.
Is there anything out there tbat overwrite the TV's "smart" firmware? Something analogous to OpenWRT and its router support?
It would be bet cool if you could use the controller and buttons "natively".
Microsoft has always been as brazen as it is effective at this sort of thing.
100%
Didn't find out till I was 40.
Half a life wasted.
Maybe it makes you sleepy, but that doesn't feel like a safe alternate course. Not quite as aggressive as MJ taking propofol to sleep, I'll give you.
