    > These are tests of the latency between a keypress and the display of a character in a terminal

    People noticed that the windows built-in terminal app has noticeable latency, and when the WSL1 team implemented their own terminal app, they ended up with much better latency [1]. I wonder if this input lag test was done using the built-in terminal or this WSL1 terminal.

    disable the HTML ping attribute

    Man, I had no idea that this stuff could happen. Having a built-in, non-disableable pingback method in the browser engine is scary stuff for privacy-oriented people. I don't know why more people don't know about this. Happily, I found and installed https://github.com/vijithassar/pingkiller to help mitigate the `ping` attribute (in case my ad blocker isn't doing that already).
