Factorio's dev blog is a great deal of fun. It's on pause at the moment after the release of 2.0, but if you go through the archives there's great stuff in there. A lot of it is about optimizations which only matter once you're building 10,000+ SPM gigafactories, which casual players will never even come close to, but since crazy excess is practically what defines hardcore Factorio players it's cool to see the devs putting in the work to make the experience shine for their most devoted fans.
This is how I find out there's a 2.0 Factorio? What am I doing with my life??
Not only that, there's also a DLC with 4 new planets.

That's what I asked after downloading it.
Could be related to UDP checksum offload.
0x0000 is a special value for some NICs meaning please calculate for me.
One NIC years ago would set 0xFFFF for bad checksum. At first we thought this was horrifyingly broken. But really you can just fallback to software verification for the handful of legitimate and bad packets that arrive with that checksum.
