TIL: Ever wanted to compress data or use cryptographic algorithms but you don't want to link to C libraries or you're just plain lazy?
The Linux kernel has you covered! Create a socket of type AF_ALG, bind to your favorite algorithm, send() in your data and recv() it back!
This seems to support deflate, SHA, RSA and some more on ppc64le and additionally even zstd, chacha, lzo, hmac and more on ARM!

@cloudflare seems to have forgotten that GZIP exists with their new "block AI crawler" thingy by prepending text *in plaintext* in a GZIP-ed origin response, rendering the complete robots.txt response useless.
Chrome, Firefox, curl (with --compressed argument) and Golang are not happy about this, complaining about various decoding errors while NodeJS just stalls completely when trying to decode the response.
Requesting brotli or zstd seems to bypass this, not altering the response.
