@whitequark @hsivonen Some of these systems are quite hard to replace by efficient alternatives. I retired a 15 years old i386 fanless industrial pc with 2 eth, many serial and USB1 ports, screen, two SATA drives and a PCI port. It consumed ~15W.
To get the same DMIPS with less watt these days, you would probably need an ARM SBC, except most of those are missing the connectivity of a PC, have an out-of-tree kernel with no security updates and you are expected to design the case and the thermal management yourself, otherwise it will crash every week.
In the end, i replaced it with a modern PC with more DMIPS for the same wattage, hoping it will last ten years. Hardly a win for e-waste. -

@dalias @jschauma Host appeared in HTTP/1.1 (as of RFC 2068) even if many programs (e.g. curl) includes it in HTTP/1.0 requests too. -

@dalias @JessTheUnstill We already have something like that in France: the government gives your employer the percentage of income that must be paid. It's still displayed on the paystub.
In practice, it means your employer can infer personal details from that percentage alone, and track it over time. If it's high, you're probably single. If it's medium, you're probably in a small family. If it's low, you're probably in a big family. If it's higher than high, you're earning more money via another gig...
There is an option to give your employer a "standard" percentage and pay/refund the rest, but that percentage is between medium and high, so penalizes everyone but singles, so almost no one bothers with it.
