They need to, as when the "." is not present, your search domains are used, but they are not used when the trailing "." is present.

For example, if you enter "ajdfajkhdfkajd.com", and your search domains contain one item called "mycompany.tld", then the browser will first query DNS servers for "ajdfajkhdfkajd.com.", and when an NXDOMAIN is returned, they will try "ajdfajkhdfkajd.com.mycompany.tld." next. If you type "ajdfajkhdfkajd.com." in the browser directly, only the first query is attempted.

It is not so bad with Mastodon but much fedi software gets slower the longer it's been running. "Akkoma Rot" is the one that's typically most talked about but the universe of misskey forks experiences the same problems, and Mastodon can sometimes absolutely crunch to a halt on 4GB of ram even for a single user instance.

Curious about the choice to send requests with WebSocket connections instead of just plain old POST forms. This precludes anyone with javascript disabled from using any of these sites. I don't think there's anything in the business logic preventing it

While IVAO is more popular in Europe than IVAO is in North America, VATSIM is still more popular in any given region. If you think ATC could be more realistic, or take into consideration anything you think might have been overlooked, I definitely encourage reaching out to your regional vice president. I highly suspect they will share your feelings, but they may be able to expand on what's technically and logistically possible. Sometimes the only barrier is a lack of volunteers! Even VATUSA was without a social media management team lead for several weeks until just a few days ago, due mainly to lack of volunteers.

Lt_Riza_Hawkeye | 2 years ago | on: Parsing integers quickly with AVX-512

It bounds checks just fine, as long as you pass it a null-terminated string. It just returns 0 on error, so there's no way to know if the string was for example, larger than would fit in an int, or even just totally invalid, or if the user actually entered 0.
