Also the traffic inspection stuff can do it, anything that disables the hardware offload function will tank the speed.
Odd, the 100/40 plan was the original speed tier, but the NBN got rid of it a while back and everybody should have been moved to 100/20. The NBN then re-introduced it of course, but it’s relegated to “business” users, so it’s behind the “Pro” selector with Aussie.
We’re writing to let you know that, unfortunately, from your billing cycle in November 2020, we will need to migrate you from your current plan NBN 100Mbps/40Mbps Unlimited ($99.00) to NBN 100Mbps/20Mbps Unlimited ($99.00) for the same cost of $99.00
Whilst it is an upload decrease, the price will remain the same and your download speed will also remain the same.
It goes without saying that we did not want to do this, but due to increased costs and the current NBN wholesale pricing model we have been forced to choose between congestion or higher prices. For a more in-depth look into the reasons why we were forced into this decision, click here.

In the spirit of ‘No Bullsh*t’, we are actually losing money on a lot of our legacy plans such as yours. As a smaller provider, we can’t offer plans that are below cost price. Given the COVID situation, however, we’ve waited as long as we could to give everyone full advantage of our old pricing.
We hope you choose to stay with us – if you do, your plan will change automatically from your November bill, and you don’t need to do anything else. If you’d prefer to browse all the plans available to you, sign in to the MyAussie app or have a look at the website.
If you wish to stay on the 100/40 plan, for an additional $10 per month, you can select it within MyAussie or by calling our support team on 1300 880 905 at any time.
That’s the email I got about it back in 2020
Yep, their frontend used a shared caller that would return the parsed JSON response if the request was successful, and error otherwise. And then the code that called it would use the returned object directly.
So I assume that most of the backend did actually surface error codes via the HTTP layer, it was just this one endpoint that didn’t (Which then broke the client side code when it tried to access non-existent properties of the response object), because otherwise basic testing would have caught it.
That’s also another reason to use the HTTP codes, by storing the error in the response body you now need extra code between the function doing the API call and the function handling a successful result, to examine the body to see if there was actually an error, all based on an ad-hoc per-endpoint format.
Ehh, that really feel like “But other people do it wrong too” to me, half the 4xx error codes are application layer errors for example (404 ain’t a transport layer error, neither is 403, 415, 422 or 451)
It also complicates actually processing the request as you’ve got to duplicate error handling between “request failed” and “request succeeded but actually failed”. My local cinema actually hits that error where their web frontend expects the backend to return errors, but the backend lies and says everything was successful, and then certain things break in the UI.
Well no, the HTTP error codes are about the entire request, not just whether or not the actual header part was received and processed right.
Like HTTP 403, HTTP only has a basic form of authentication built in, anything else needs the server to handle it externally (e.g. via session cookies). It wouldn’t make sense to send “HTTP 200” in response to trying to access a resource without being logged in just because the request was well formed.
60 in particular is a superior highly composite number, 12 divisors compared to a paltry 8 for 24.
1596.645 × .001 = 1.596645kg of heroin by weight
That’s 0.1%, not 0.001%
0.001% of 440 gallons is 0.5632 fl oz (or just over 16ml out of 1,666 liters)
So it’s an “open standard”, not in the sense that anybody can contribute to the development, but in the sense that the details of the standard are open and you can learn about them.
The format itself is an XML version of the existing Office document formats, and they grew organically over decades with random bugs, features, and bug compatibilities with other programs. e.g. There will be a random flag on an object that makes no sense but is necessary for interoperating with some Lotus 1-2-3 files that a company had, who then worked with Microsoft to support back it in the 90s. Things you can’t change, nobody really cares about, but get written down because the software already implements it (and will emit sometimes)
You can turn the feature off entirely, or just not talk to people who post them? It’s not something like tiktok where you get pushed a bunch of random videos, it’s stuff that people you know are sending you.
It’s real, but probably not an issue in practise.
If it does actually turn out to pose a problem, then just disable secure boot on those systems, not like it’s really securing anything at that point.
Edit: I did learn from this thread today though that ZSH has it set to where you can just type part of what you’re looking for then hit up to do the same thing. Neat!
Fish too, it’s fantastic.
He stores all his footage in full quality instead of just storing his final edited videos in a compressed format.
That’s the right way to do it, you want to avoid generation loss as much as possible.
AMD has its own mix of issues with Vulkan between RADV (mesa), AMDVLK, and AMD’s proprietary driver on a per-game basis at times.
Good news, they’re going away. AMD is focusing entirely on Mesa now.
Most likely an hardware issue, ZFS has seen similar types of corruption with certain drives under normal operation.
It was an issue for a long time that browsers just ignored the caching headers on content delivered over HTTPS, a baked in assumption that they must be private individual content. That’s not the case now, so sites have to specifically mark those pages as uncachable (I think Steam got hit by something like this not that long ago, a proxy was serving up other peoples user pages it had cached).
But for something like Google Fonts, the whole point of it was that a site could embed a large font family, and then every other visited site that also used it would simply share the first cached copy. Saving the bandwidth and amortizing the initial cost over the shared domains. Except now that no longer holds, instead of dividing the resources by the amount of sites using it, it’s multiplying it. So while a CDN might put the contents physical closer to the users, it doesn’t actually save any bandwidth (and depending on how it’s configured, it can actually slow page loads down)
Browsers partition the cache by “origin” now though, so while it can cache HTTPS content, it can’t effectively cache shared content (It’ll store multiple independent copies).
So Youtube still works fine, but Google Fonts is pointless now.
Edit: Oh yeah, and any form of shared JavaScript/CSS/etc. CDN is now also useless and should be avoided, but that’s always been the case.
Because some people want to ban them entirely.
That’s badly regulating them.
It’s a peaceful life.
Or skip things like react entirely and use something declarative like htmx, less “glue code” you need to write and the server response can itself kick off new client side actions.
