Some of the obstacles really hit you when your working with different systems, if you connect the same systems then just mirror the config but when each end uses different terminol…

Not if I can spoof my IP6 address as easily as I can spoof an IP4 one, nope.

Merely because they're big enough to throw their clout around, which could be a good thing or bad thing depending on how you view it. Could also be Apple, or Amazon, or maybe Netfl…

I feel the same way, but I worry that ISPs won't ever change unless they're forced to. I'm starting to wonder if Google should just stop accepting (or start delaying?) traffic to o…

This is exactly why I don't bother with forums controlled by the company I wish to raise a grievance about. Just go air your complaint on Reddit or something they don't control, it…

That's pretty disingenuous though, given that FB and Google both track you across the net whether you have an account with them or not. Logging out of your account doesn't stop the…

This is really cool and reminds me a bit of Mandos which does full disk encryption on headless servers using a network host. The Readme didn't mention, can this be configured to SM…

Maybe they can reinvest some of that money and figure out how to not spam me for things I've already pre-ordered from Amazon . Case in point, Super Mario Odyssey. Preordered from A…

I agree with your intention, but I worry about the consequences: One thing worse than a group of companies controlling credit ratings is one company having a monopoly on controllin…

To add to that, the desktop site works* with javascript disabled, is faster that way, and has much fewer ads, but the mobile site doesn't even load under that condition. Edit: * - …

First off this is partly a self fullfilling prophecy: I'm increasingly less likely to buy one the longer it takes them to update it. Also, they've effectively pushed me to other ve…

This whole thing seems to stem from the authors inability to reproduce and understand the problem. Has anyone submitted a test case demonstrating the problem? I don't see one linke…

I'm not arguing with your logic, but I the user searched for and found/installed the app/service, it's disappointing and disheartening to not be trusted to choose my own preference…

Have you seen these examples yet? It's not the exact same but maybe you can use it to the same effect? https://wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftables/index.php/Maps

My understanding is that iptables and nftables are both user interfaces to configure rule-sets in the NetFilter code, though I think that glosses over some important bits.

I use and recommend nftables, and while it's very usable I also think it's important to acknowledge that nftables is not yet at full feature parity with iptables. More details can …

I don't agree that this is a step backwards, but I certainly do agree that this is not a step forward. Progress will be defined by decreasing the amount of obnoxious advertising, u…

There's something Ive been curious about, and as one of the companies on that committee I wonder what your thoughts are on this. I honestly expected advertising industry folks to r…

Is there thought being given to expose such an option to the end user at additional cost? Say if I wanted to make sure my data was stored in 2 regions, and was OK with a slight inc…

Excellent read, thank you for sharing! Just curious, was there any consideration given to existing storage solutions like Ceph when you were evaluating writing your own erasure enc…

BBC's Horizon has a really good episode about checklists and how they're used to prevent mistakes in hospitals, and how they're being adopted in other environments in light of that…
