question for the cyberbros:

>And then there's the challenge of encrypted traffic. While some firewalls do claim to perform deep packet inspection on HTTPS traffic, the process of decrypting data and inspecting it inline with traffic flows is a processor-intensive activity that overwhelms many hardware-based security devices. In response, administrators often choose to turn off the capability within their firewalls.

how does the government do it?
do they just waste computing power trying to decrypt packets?

Of course they do! Billions of CPU cycles in some Israeli thingie and gigawatts of power wasted on preventing me from posting cats on Fedi.

They have even shut me off the power grid (temporarily).
But they won't stop me! Viva la resis… Resistive cats! 😸
