It can often improve performance and memory latency and usually only has a minor CPU performance impact as it trades cycles waiting for memory for cycles decompressing memory. It is usually decent even on low power embedded devices.

There are a few edge cases where ZRam is not great. If your data is already compressed or encrypted copying it around in memory is much more expensive. It's also harder to tell exactly how much data can be loaded into the "free" memory. It's also a bit slower for serialized memory access in large data sets if the compression ratio is low.

Right image, but under those each one below would also be wearing large pants covering each side of the subtree.

It depends on how the router responds to other non-forwarded ports. For UDP an open port with no response is the same as a dropped packet. A scanner will only know if the device sends an ICMP response back to indicate that it is closed.

It's not well explained for sure but judging by the names of the cookies I bet those store the consent (opt in/out) values for the other tracking options. Another way of putting it would be those are functional cookies related to the cookie consent form itself so that you don't have to re-select consent options every time you visit the site.

From what I've read is not authentication bypass, it's a RCE using certificates to deliver the payload. If a specific signature is found it runs the code that was sent in place of the signing public key. It also means that only someone who has the ability to generate that specific key signature could use the RCE.

There were some other bits that looked like they could have been placed to enable compromising other build systems in the future when they checked for xz support.

If filesystem UUIDs are IP equivalents. Then device paths are MAC addresses. FS labels are DNS. Device mapper entries are service discovery.

Business systems from the 80s used to automatically convert everything name related to caps. It made it easier to do string matching which was generally case sensitive in the DB. It also made data entry easier as you just turn capslock on and type.

No so much formal as lazy semi-formal.

The reasoning is that it is not illegal to fake most student ID cards but it is a federal offense to fake or alter government issued ID documents.

That way if it becomes an issue they can just pass it on to the authorities as their problem.

"Invalid" or "unparseable" are more understandable descriptors in normal language. I don't think I ever heard of garbage/junk being used for that in language theory but it may be domain specific usage.

There are a lot of edge case characters around visually indistinguishable names. If that is a concern usernames should use a restricted known character sets instead of trying to block specific characters. You likely should also treat lookalike characters as equivalents when checking for username overlap.

As someone who also has produced code that looks like random characters spewed onto a terminal while using fpdf, I feel this one.

It can still have issues with potential attacks that would redirect your client to a system outside of the VPN. It would prevent MitM but not complete replacement.
