  • It doesn’t work for the West because it relies on hiding behind CDNs like Cloudflare. If the West prohibits VPNs the governments in the West will cooperate with them.

    Russia could also catch them by tracking known VPN users. The unpopular CDN urls to which they connect are very likely the VPNs. They can block those connections and observe the reaction. Russia could also just buy the VPN service and know the target servers. Like adblockers for youtube, they accept escapes for the technological advanced to prevent them from taking other actions.

    Avoiding round trips and context switches is desirable in itself, but the real advantage[citation needed] comes from allowing the I/O scheduler in the kernel to do a better job by saturating it with requests coming from all of the applications trying to read their keys (as opposed to a common configuration server serially requesting a single key at a time).

    Having all of the keys in a single compact binary format also avoids the intense fragmentation problems currently experienced by the tree-of-directories-of-xml-files approach

    I didn’t know.

    I wait for the day that systemd unifies all /etc config file and the .* config files into one easy to use service that stores the configurations in one efficient central binary file with a tree structure for the values and thus maintains consistency over all applications, is easy to backup and overall makes life much better for developers and users alike.
