In some way, robot.txt is similar to the evil bit RFC:

LOL! I often disable the bell on UPSes if doable via software or just rip the thing of the board physically if not. I configure UPSes to send alarm via email or email to sms if needed.

I have been remapping my keyboard keys when needed since Slackware 1.2.3, my first Linux. Here is an example:

I would suspect it wasn't always the case, not in 1985 or 1989 when they renamed to AOL anyway.

That's not what you said initially above. Just use LTE ip radio or something equally secure and call it a day. Also, ISDN is plenty of bandwidth for voice. Ultimately, you are the one commenting stupidly. There exists several secure implementations for radio voice communication so you were wrong because we ourselves use radios for very secure mission critical communications and we aren't alone, duh!

It was faster to use 30 floppies if you had to install on several computers or wanted/needed to re-install many times. Downloading everything over dialup every time was tragic. You could put the 30 floppies content on a local NFS server for even faster installs although if that's what you meant although.

A lot of Internet communications are transmitted over radio waves, even backbone stuff in some cases so you can't really tell if your data has been over radio waves between some hops.

ddr4 and older pcie suck speed wise. With recent pcie (5+) and ddr5 and recent CPU you can easily run AI workloads with very acceptable performances without a GPU. I recently upgraded an old monster server running 50+ vms with 256GB ram and 48 CPUs and I replaced it with a relatively smaller 128GB ram server with 12 CPU (12 x AMD EPYC 4244P 6-Core Processor 1 Socket) and the new server is running much faster since it has ddr5, pcie5, uses SSD only and some vms run AI loads without any GPU which I couldn't have done efficiently on the older server.

I assume it's the same for gaming, a relatively smaller and cheaper but newer machine will give you better performances.

And no number pad...

Nowadays you don't need anything Oracle to build and deploy in Java so you can take that one off your list.

My point was that you seem to be confusing DNS exploits with using DNS to communicate and exchange information, typically with TXT records as it is done for all kind of purposes.

Using vpn over dns or communicate over dns doesn't need anything to be compromised. See link below:

One would typically use it in a corporate environment to connect somewhere he can't otherwise at the risk of getting in trouble if he is discovered.

I think he is referring to vpn like and/or other type of channels which implement communication over dns and yes it's been around for quite a while.

Good point since you need a server to measure the bandwidth and I strongly doubt the "Internet Archive" has that capacity and that you would be the only downloading from the archive anyway. So, no it wouldn't allow you to download the entire Internet Archive in less than four minutes even if you sent it to /dev/null because I suspect even the Internet Archive doesn't have that writing speed in order to store the data so you most likely don't either.

Why should we care for that about some fancy "Assistant Keeper of Ancient Mesopotamian script" living an otherwise normal life in London with his wife and 5 children when we have our own very popular and famous rsilvergun available right here on Slashdot as a excellent resource for the task?
