Influencers Have Arrived on ‘Foundation,’ and Somehow You Can’t Hate Them

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-07-19 19:00:31

Foundation is generally a pretty serious show. Season three in particular is charting humanity’s march toward certain doom—unless those with the power to reshape the future can figure out an alternative path before it’s too late. But levity creeps into the Apple TV+ Isaac Asimov adaptation when you least expect it, with season three continuing the humorous legacy of a character we said good-bye to back in season two. That dearly departed character is Hober Mallow, of course—the heroic scoundrel

TCP-in-UDP Solution (eBPF)

news.ycombinator.com Matthieu Baerts 2025-07-18 16:59:08

The MPTCP protocol is complex, mainly to be able to survive on the Internet where middleboxes such as NATs, firewalls, IDS or proxies can modify parts of the TCP packets. Worst case scenario, an MPTCP connection should fallback to “plain” TCP. Today, such fallbacks are rarer than before – probably because MPTCP has been used since 2013 on millions of Apple smartphones worldwide – but they can still exist, e.g. on some mobile networks using Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEPs) where MPTCP connect
