It's pretty interesting how Javascript gets pretty good benchmarks on the M1 though.
I wonder if VS code uses the built in javascript hardware instructions to improve performance.

Tons of posts about how Visual Studio Code is or isn't the IDE for you..
No posts about how amazing the M1 chipset is? Low power and long battery life and still feel snappy?
I'm a PC guy, I struggle with re-learning the Mac keyboard shortcuts.. but damn if it doesn't feel fast.

Hopefully the PC industry takes notes. This has enabled me to finally take the step to a fully mobile office without battery fear.

It's a good idea, but it'll also creates a hassle with spammers, bots, scrapers and other malicious users that will use Amazon EC2 to do bad stuff.
The IP reputation of Amazon EC2 was already bad (with many services blocking EC2 pre-emptively) now it's going to get even worse.
 
In the past malicious amazon ec2 users would at least have to put some effort into learning EC2. Now they can just use the TOR layer instead to use amazon IPs.

While this is true. There are quite a few situations that can be calculated. For example, a driver losing falling unconscious / falling asleep would be a perfect example of a system that could kick in and safely slow down the speed of the car. I'm not saying that a system such as this should be trigger-happy, but simply kick in as a last resort.

I'd love to have some blue, green and red honey on display and possibly on the toast
. Seems to me it should be perfectly safe since the candy color is approved for human consumption unless the colors get concentrated somehow (which I doubt).

Even though they're suspected GPL offenders (opinions differ) I still have to put in my word for mikrotik. These guys know how to build wifi in rural areas with plenty of subscribers, stable hardware and good software at low cost. Even their cheaper products are very well up to the task and can be expanded upon with different wireless-transmitters and antennas. If that is not enough you can always look at their more "enterprise:ish" products. I've only good things to say about them, and we used their products for well over 5 years when we still ran a WISP.

Here, go ahead:

This is the monthly summarized statistics for netnod. Does indeed look like a big drop at April 1st and pretty stable usage before.

How does your upstream contracts work? You could try and see if you can buy traffic per 95th percentile with a commit instead if you need the burst capacity . Then throttle the worst offenders if you notice your 95th percentile going over your commit.

Howtoforge.org has fulfilled that role for a long time which Linux.com aims to do now.

Can someone find me their AS numbers so I can simply nullroute them?

Unless of course you sleep with your mother.
