Yes, founded by a Brexit voting Tory
I see your point.

Is "emotional" supposed to trivialise the complaints? People would vote the same way now, most likely. The opinion hasn't shifted around much…
Oh, it really has shifted. A lot.

This is a myth as far as I’ve been able to determine. The prosecutions were ordinary private prosecutions. The Post Office didn’t need any kind of special legal status in order to prosecute.
Well, hey, far be it for me to tell you that you’re wrong, but the BBC says that you’re wrong as do numerous other sources.
> The Post Office itself took many cases to court, prosecuting 700 people between 1999 and 2015. Another 283 cases were brought by other bodies, including the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).
The failing is as much with the court as it is with Fujitsu. Why did they blindly accept Horizon’s data as evidence? What if the computer said the Queen stole all the money and ran off to Barbados, would they have thrown her in jail? Why was the output of a black box, which may as well have been a notebook Fujitsu could have written anything they wanted into, treated as gospel?
Part of the answer is that the Post Office had (has?) special legal status in that it can prosecute cases by itself - no need to present a convincing case to the CPS like the police do.
Many people were scared into pleading guilty just to avoid the upfront legal costs and the ruinous fines if contesting and found guilty (“the computer is always right”).
Often the PO knew that they didn’t have much of a case but just used their special status to bully them into submission.

The trick for anything Nvidia and networking related, of course, is to search for "Mellanox", the network card manufacturer they bought.
This forum post suggests the ConnextX-6 might work: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/connectx-6-dx-crypto-a...
However, details are very hard to come by. Maybe the "offload" they offer isn't actually offloading anything and I've just misunderstood them when I last heard about them (and kernel XDP really is that fast).
Ah,yes, that makes sense. I’ll have a read around then - thanks.
But, yeah, driver mode seems plenty fast enough and unless traffic goes up over 10x we’re fine for now.
Always good to have a plan, though …

Wanting the government to spend within its means is hardly fash.
Supporting the guy that in his last (single) term put the deficit up by $8trillion(!) doesn’t really support your thesis. Sorry ‘bout that.

Effectively, not a lot. eBPF does have the capabilities to do more than a regular firewall, but this just seems to do an IP lookup in a blacklist file.
If you buy a fancy network card from a company like Nvidia, you could run the eBPF program on the card itself and the kernel wouldn't even see the packet come in. This use case doesn't seem like it'd need that kind of performance tweak, though.
It's useful as a fun project to experiment with eBPF, though!
Do you have a model number for an Nvidia offload card? I thought that only Netronome did them and that they were kinda long in the tooth now. I’d love to get my hands on one.
Go fash, lose cash.
