I once accidentally blocked TCP on my laptop and found out "google.com" runs on UDP, it was a nice surprise. baba is fast. I sometimes get calls like "You used to manage a server 6 years ago and we have an issue now" so I always tell the other person "type 'alias' and read me the output", this is how I can tell if this is really a server I used to work on. fast is my copilot. | ||

Specifically HTTP/3 and QUIC (which came out of Google): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP/3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUIC They don't require you to use QUIC to access Google, but it is one of the options. If you use a non-supporting browser (Safari prior to 2023, unless you enabled it), you'd access it with a standard TCP-based HTTP connection. | ||

> this is how I can tell if this is really a server I used to work on Hm, shell environment is fairly high on the list of things I'd expect the next person to change, even assuming no operational or functional changes to a server. And of course they'd be using a different user account anyway. | ||
