        iptables to be replaced with BPF in the Linux kernel.

        Long as ufw and firewall-cmd will still work, this is good.

        In the article, it did say that it will be a non-disruptive transition for Linux users. Whatever that means for ufw and firewalld.

          Yeah. For now, at least, it looks like they're going to make it backwards compatible.

          I just wonder what kind of syntax they'll use for things like NAT and such.

            Not too surprising. Microsoft has been a UNIX vendor since the 1980s. They made Xenix.

              Looks like I need to go experiment with BPF!

                Going to show my ignorance a bit.

                When they are talking about hardware offloading do they mean to the NIC or to an independent machine?

                  I haven't ready that far into it yet, but I'd assume the NIC. You know what they say about assuming tho. Using an ASIC can be a huge performance boost as well.

                      Cambridge Analytica had been planning to release their own cryptocurrency. That is not likely happening now.

                              Microsoft Hotfix KB4093112 causes issues with Pen devices, including Wacom devices.

                              To correct the issue determine if the hotfix was installed get-hotfix -computername <name> If it is, apply the patch described to address pens, scrolling and moving the window rather than "drawing".
