You could open the PR and it would also be faster than writing all these comments here about opening a PR.
That's not the point, it is not the author's duty to do that and him pointing out Microsoft's wrongdoing is meaningful at least to me because I will be more cautious if I'm ever being approached in a similar way.

That's the thing: Microsoft approaching the author has nothing to do with the wrong attribution. And I am not sure if the original author here is frustrated because of the wrong attribution or just because they would have hope money and fame from the fact that Microsoft reused their code.
Because it's not like Spegel lacks visibility (given the numbers they shared in the article), the link on Peerd's README is probably not bad for Spegel, and the attention here is publicity again. Probably infinitely more than if Microsoft had done the attribution correctly.
I recently switched from 4a to 8a because google killed 4a's battery with a recent os update. Other than 8a being bigger and heavier I don't notice much difference and I think 9a is going to be the same story.
The idea of client-side "cookies" existed even before CS:GO. I remember in CS:S the server was able to change game variables set on the client. I wrote a script for a CS:S server that would fingerprint a cheater by setting an obscure game variable to a unique value and so being able to identify the player through that even if they had a different steam id and ip. It seemed to work well for a long time for getting rid of the most common cheaters but of course the most commited and capable ones with RE skills will always be ahead of the game.
Counterbalanced by the upside that the librarians don't have to do double duty as pest control, although the absurd mental image of them handling the task in a similar fashion as the bats doing it is rather amusing.
A bit tangential but is there a service or self hosted solution that would take a list of IPs and then keep scanning them periodically and alert me if any new ports have suddenly open?
I just scanned my domain for all 65k ports and it took 20 seconds with a 10gbit pipe. i could scan yours for you and shoot you an email if a new port is discovered. Would charge you Like $100/year or something.
TL;DR: Firefox usually uses AV1. Hardware prior to intel 11th gen tiger lake, amd rdna2 (pre rtx 6000 series) and nvidia 3000 series has no hardware AV1 decoding support (and neither does Apple Silicon). This results in higher CPU usage on Firefox, whereas Safari and Chrome usually resort to codecs that have hardware decode support on the machine.
This can easily be fixed by going to `about:config` and setting `media.av1.enabled` to false.
I wish there was a huge decision tree covering all possible scenarios for flight delay/cancellation, it is very hard to know exactly whwt to do in such cases.
And a little check box with the initial claim form:
[ ] Check this box if having your claim rejected will make it your life's mission to appeal, cost us exponentially more money in customer services resources, and you're broadly willing to sink hours of clerical work into getting the full claim approved, even if it means you're effectively making less than Singapore minimum wage.
If you tick the box your full claim gets approved from the start.
