And that dedicated soul (dreammaster) would really like to know who wrote the final star map puzzle, because there was sooo much matrix math his head almost exploded :)

This is the comment I came here for :)

We first discovered this while troubleshooting why we were receiving logins with an old password.. after updating the settings in Outlook. They had no other email clients, but the …

As an email host... I've been turning New Outlook off for clients for weeks trying to explain this. Apart from the security issues, it's also very annoying to have to explain that …

But my Commodore 16 probably still doesn't have enough memory to run this :) Back to playing Berks I guess :P

I often have people complain after comparing my works instance pricing to other cloud providers... Then try to explain that rotating a few dozen TB of data offsite to cold offline …

Literally just deployed a pair of new OmniOS NFS servers last night, for high-availability hosting. We also serve VM storage from a pair of Illumos ZFS boxes over iSCSI. We switche…

Colin Furze has a fun series where he tunneled around his yard a bit :) Supercut video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RVLim5tVwU&ab_channel=colin...

FTA: // Infallible: We've definitely consumed 4 bytes ... erm, wasn't the original issue created by an undocumented change to File API semantics? Not that I know how their backend …

Ah the good ol' New Direction announcement. Immediately following this was one of the most chaotic times to ever post on an LambdaMOO ARB (Architecture Review Board) *Ballot. (Mine…

I was more of a TRSI Demo Maker kinda guy :)

Phew. I'm happy they're just discontinue the free Cloud version, rathert than changing the licensing for On-Prem :) ... better than Atlassian!

Every few months I keep telling myself I need to buy one of Cliff's Klein bottles to go alongside my (very dogeared) paperback copy of The Cuckoo's Egg :) Learning all the default …

This bot is stupidly broken - we've had to block a whole swathe of Azure ranges on our load balancer. This particular 'bot' would start crawling in-line Javascript on a customer si…

Conference Cluedo. "It was mithro, in the hallway track, with the pogo pin programmer."

Yeah, FreeBSD was an improvement with regards to ZFS/NFS integration not having any major issues. Unfortunately we had some strange HBA issues with our disk shelves, which went awa…

Ah yes. I've also seen NFS/ZFS on Linux have very... bizzare... issues with locking, latency, and poor handling of errors bubbled up from the block layer taking down clients or eve…

Pause the video... it opens a popup and keeps playing the audio This is horrible, I couldn't even stand staying on the page long enough to figure out what the product is :P

Although it's been done before, I suspect you were reading a M.R. Forbes novel :P

I've been reading Jasper's work for a quite a while, and given your brother's very regular output would never have guessed! It's hard to even visualise the effort it must have take…

The funny thing is that we're running our large NFS servers on OmniOS (with Linux NFS clients), as plugins for a certain large PHP-based blogging platform loves to sprinkle LOCK_EX…

You can't be forced to introduce a "systemic" weakness. On the other hand, a certain four-letter agency can certainly craft a TAN requesting you to, say, weaken your key negotiatio…
