I hope he manages to figure it out.

The concept already exist and works (I use it) in qemu ballooning although:

I hear Elon has got a stash of alien terraforming seeds, see the little flying creature spreading them for planet Earth here, we simply need to do the same on Mars, easy!:

Anyway, personally, I won't ever look at a Sun eclipse directly, don't matter what kind of protective glasses are available. Just not worth IMHO and the whole idea seem silly to me.

Eloquent!

Maybe you should be careful about using that word ( e.g. building a ...) because you could get in trouble, forget about proofs! See link below:

What an insightful breaking news article and especially article title! /s

I guess this saves it just a little bit although, the main part about mouse and keyboard shortcuts, not some much IMHO:

Yeah sure, what could possibly go wrong when it hallucinates some steps? Hint: you go poof while building it.

Exactly, I am basically always on vpn but ones I have full control over, both servers and client config. Using commercial vpns might even put you more at risk. I never used a commercial vpn even once myself.

yep dns over https is awful from a security standpoint. Although it has always been a good idea, requiring all user to use a proxy to connect to the web is even more relevant now, you can block dns over httpd there with mod_security rules or what not. All bets are off if users are able to use a vpn although so maybe force SOCK proxy usage as well with appropriate filters or only allow http.

For vpns, using vpns might actually be less secure and easier to track when you don't know what the vpn provider is doing. I use vpns all the time but only the ones I set up myself, both the vpn servers and client configurations.

DNS settings and routing settings are different things, my point was that there could be a way around it like changing the routing and redirect to your local DNS at your router like another user posted above but it is simpler to not use google's vpn or any other google software for that matter.

You didn't tell me if google's vpn is free, which I suspect it must be!

If google's vpn routes dns request through the vpn, your router won't get a chance to catch it and redirect it to your local dns anyway.

MAC addresses are not send in any TCPIP headers, it happens at another layer and is resolved locally by arp. Hey! But don't worry! That google software you voluntarily install on your computer can read your MAC address and send it to google in the payload of a tcpip packet, not in the header although.

Are they taking control of the whole IP stack? If not, it should be easy to change things back in the resolver and/or by modifying your routing. Probably simpler to use a sane VPN link provider although. Let me guess, of course google's VPN is "free" isn't it ?

I don't know but I do some very small scale hosting and I have presence in multiple datacenters in multiple continents. Wouldn't be doing the same with chip production be a good idea?
