• Why HTTP/3 is eating the world

  It occurs to me that QUIC could benefit from a single kernel-level coordinator that can be plugged for cooperation - for instance, a dynamic bandwidth-throttling implementation a la https://tripmode.ch/ for slower connections where the coordinator can look at pre-encryption QUIC headers, not just the underlying (encrypted) UDP packets. So perhaps I was hasty to say that you just need SOCK_DGRAM after all! - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Why haven’t they put eSims into MacBooks yet?

  I've had this app for that bookmarked for a long time but haven't tried it. Source: 10 months ago

• Macbook uses excessive internet data, cannot track down the reasons.

  I use https://tripmode.ch/ for just such a thing. It works great, just whitelist the apps you want to have network access on a given hotspot and it blocks the rest. Source: about 1 year ago

• Radio Silence alternatives? Or should I go with it

  Might look into TripMode, among the others mentioned here. Source: about 1 year ago

• App/shortcut that automatically puts Mac in low power mode when connected to non-home network?

  You might also be interested in TripMode. It doesn't activate low power mode but does restrict your Mac's outgoing network connections when away from home wifi, which may contribute to power saving. Source: about 1 year ago
