Paying more can entice people to commute, but there is still no housing. The real solution is more housing.

Netcup was founded in my hometown in Germany. They have a very good reputation. However, they were aquired a while ago by Anexia. I am not sure if that changed anything.

Pulumi also allows storing state yourself in different backends [1]. The SaaS is a convenience. [1] https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/state/

There are more than 1 billion cars on earth. Cubesats are smaller than a car and can be distributed in an additional dimension (altitude). I think there is little risk of oversatur…

You can use the kubectl debug command to add ephemeral containers to a running Pod. It's an alpha feature introduced in v1.18. The ephemeral debug container can contain htop while …

This theory doesn't make sense to me. Banks could simply buy foreign currency to achieve the same without the additional risk of defaulting lenders.

I feel this says more about the mental stability of that specific person and has very little to do with giving feedback, no?

Yes, you are surely right. I was mostly wondering if the bot net is actually secure.

It seems to me this bot could be disabled. Every bot has a list of peers and their SSH credentials. This way, peers can reinfect machines that were restarted, thus allowing the bot…

Yes, for a second, I was very confused about the connection between active directory and advertising.

It's trivial to capture if there is a will. Send an agent who offers a bribe, fire the worker if the bribe is accepted.

If a cryptographic hash function is used, the security of this scheme doesn't rely on keeping the algorithm secret, though. Therefore, it's not security through obscurity. Of cours…

Yes, the laws don't care about who you bank with. If your "center of life" is in Germany, you are required to pay income taxes. Although "center of life" is not defined in detail i…

Maybe the person meant to say Visual Studio Code is preferable to Visual Studio.

I suspect his thought was to use something like "%UserProfile%/pycache/" on windows and "$HOME/.pycache/" on Linux.

That might work nicely for plain TCP traffic, but it's not very useful for TLS encrypted connections by itself. An attacker wants to decrypt the packets passed on as the man in the…

There are some downsides to that approach. The element has semantic meaning which is lost if it's missing. Screen readers for blind people, browser features such as form auto-fill …

I completely agree. Having used Manjaro (xfce and i3 variants) as main OS for half a year, it has been a good experience. To be fair, I can't compare with other distros as this was…

Right, the critique is evaluating algorithms based solely on asymptotic time / space characteristics is insufficient. Constants can be significant if they are big enough.

Seam carving is the second assignment of Algorithms Part II. I also highly recommend Princeton's Algorithms course on Coursera.
