How Cloudflare got KiwiFarms wrong. (The Verge)

Cloudflare got KiwiFarms wrong by caving to the fascist mob, but since The Verge is a card-carrying flag-waving member of that mob, this article is complaining that Cloudflare didn't cave sooner.

The excuse given is "stochastic terrorism", a term that means someone somewhere said something I don't like.

Tech News

The GPD Win 4 is a hand-held game console like the Sony Playstation Vita and Nintendo Switch. (Liliputing)

It's a bit chunkier; the Nintendo Switch weighs around 11 ounces and this is nearly 20.

On the other hand, it has a keyboard - under the 6" 1920x1080 display, which slides up if you want to type rather than play games, an 8 core Ryzen 6800U CPU, up to 32GB of RAM and 2TB of NVMe SSD.

Don't need. Do want. It's twice as fast as the laptop I'm using right now.
The Ryzen 4100 and 4500 are here. (Tom's Hardware)

Not sure exactly why, since these are older Zen 2 cores. But the 4100 costs $99 and the 4500 costs $129, and they're not bad chips. So I guess that's a reason.
There was a 23 year old denial-of-service bug in Curl. (Haxx.se)

Sort of. Curl is a client-side tool (and software library) for fetching content from the web, so you could only really DOS yourself. It involved bad cookies, which are a problem. Probably oatmeal raisin, which are just cheap counterfeit chocolate chip.

Disclaimer: My family called them "squashed fly biscuits". In fact, the only thing that gets called a cookie in Australia is chocolate chip.
