Why wasn't it smart (besides actually talking to the cop)? I was not guilty of anything but making a joke in bad taste (and maybe doing 59 in a 55). It was an inconvenience to be detained for an hour, but it wasn't a hot day, I didn't have any obligations...

>simply admitting

no your best option is not to say a GD thing. story time: i was once pulled over on the eastern shore by a cop that was barely my age. i didn't say a word to him for the 10 minute stop. that really messed with his mental state and I could tell his internal hard drive was returning a seek error. at the end he stammered out "o-okay, w-well you slow down and haveaniceday" then he quick walked back to his car and turned down a side road.

NEVER TALK TO COPS.

Do not do this unless you have strict guidance from a lawyer immediately before this happens. One small mistake could open you up to criminal liability and a world of hurt. Better to just plan ahead, bring a burner phone and show the photos to the agent when asked.

IANAL but play one on tv

>The simplest example is asking “Do you know why I pulled you over?”. Typically, people spontaneously confess to speeding, sometimes they break down and admit that someone is wrapped up in a rug in the trunk.

I was asked this once, after I read a hilarious reddit comment, and found myself in a similar situation. I looked at the cop and said "it's not because of the pot in my trunk is it?". "Step out and open your trunk, sir". He opened the trunk to find a crock pot I had just purchased. I could tell he was flipping through emotions from stifling laughter to being highly annoyed. They eventually let me go and told me to slow down with a half smirk.

I don't recommend doing this, and I have zero plans to ever do it again as it wasn't as simple as stepping out and showing my guilt/joke. I was detained, backup units showed up, even a K9. They didn't search the inside of my car, but they did inspect other items inside the trunk to make sure I wasn't pulling a fast one on them.

In the past I have taken on up to 2 contracts while working a full time gig. If you can pull it off, I say do it.

Anyone interested in joining a consulting team to do these projects with me?

I was watching HK Apple Daily since the Hong Kong protests and lately a few of their latest videos have been showing up in my feed. While I’ve stopped watching, the thumbnails look incendiary in nature so seeing this happen is not surprising considering the news security law

Then the problem has zero to do with the type of testing, now does it :)

Pcap captures are not multithreaded so you are pinning to a single core.

This entire thread is interesting because it is highlighting a similar problem with my virtualized router. When I pinned the router vm to specific cpus the problem goes away. I switched to openstack which doesn’t give me the best control over cpu capabilities and the problem has manifested in a worse form.

My uninformed opinion is that there are underlying concurrency problems with multithreaded user land-kernel interaction and some nic drivers (consumer intel and Broadcom hardware)

But is the easiest metric to guage test quality. What I’m saying is this code is probably not well tested

..Didn’t realize my startup search engine stuffed credentials :(

But hey if I pay Cloudflare enough, then I’ll get to blast your site and possibly stuff creds at the same time :/

This here is the problem. It’s a new time no one wants to be Rfc compliant, just go behind a service and problem is solved.

So no problem, time to move on web search is no longer exciting

(a) Who said I was blasting your site with requests? Cloudflare stops much more than just blasts

(b) But you’re a-ok with Google doing this. Gated communities aren’t really good for anybody but I see what you are saying.
