How does it deal with all the dynamic TCP buffering things where things may get quite large?
Ao7bei3s · 20 hours ago
It has a fixed maximum number of concurrent sockets, and each socket has queues backed by per-socket fixed-size transmit and receive buffers (see `rxmem` and `txmem` in `struct tsocket`[1]). This is fine, because in TCP, each side advertises remaining buffer space via the window size header field [2] (possibly with its meaning modified by the window scale option during the initial handshake - see [3] & `struct PACKED tcp_opt_ws`), and possibly also how much it can maximally receive in one packet (via the MSS option on the initial handshake [4]; possibly modified by intermediary systems via MSS clamping). wolfip has unusually small buffer sizes, and hardcodes them via #define, and everything else (e.g. congestion control) is pretty rudimentary too, but otherwise it's pretty much the same as in a "normal" implementation.

> We’re gradually transitioning the AWS European Sovereign Cloud to be operated exclusively by EU citizens located in the EU. During this transition period, we will continue to work with a blended team of EU residents and EU citizens located in the EU.

I find it fascinating that the goal is to staff this exclusively with EU citizens, thereby excluding non-citizen residents of the EU.

It's similar to FedRAMP systems like AWS GovCloud (US), which can only be accessed by someone who is a US person (US citizen or lawful permanent resident) and on US soil (physically in the US at the time of access).

Love how a €7.5k 20 kilogram server is placed on a €5 particleboard table. I have owned several LACKs but would never put anything valuable on it. IKEA rates them at 25 kilogram maximum load.

LACK tables specifically are well proven to be quite sturdy actually. They happen to be just the right width for servers / network devices, and so people have used them for that purpose for ages. Search for "LACK rack", or see e.g. https://wiki.eth0.nl/index.php/LackRack. 20kg is nothing; I've personally put >100kg on top.
