This again! Software can be both _mature_ and _useful_. If you trip across a piece of software that's both of mature and useful, your first action should be clone it's git repo int…

This looks great as a portable NAS device. I could run it using Raspbian or whatever will run on the rpi. For me it would be perfect if there was a TrueNAS port to arm hardware tha…

That's a direct side affect of the difference in cost between IPv4 addresses and IPv6 addresses. If IPv4 addresses weren't economically rare, AWS would charge for them.

That solution requires a routable, Non-RFC1918, IPv4 address somewhere to work. If I understand CG-NAT correctly, you don't get a routable address on your equipment.

That isn't really necessary any longer. Modern IPv6 stacks devices use and periodically rotate through temporary IPv6 auto-allocated addresses for privacy reasons.

Right now IoT devices use a communications model that overcome's NAT by tying the device to a service endpoint in the cloud. The device registers itself as an IoT device in aws and…

I don't remember the exact cause per say beyond Bob saying that some drives did a thermal recalibration and if this occured during a multi sector transfer, the filesystem got shot …

While Linux would have certainly killed Coherent eventually, that's not quite the case. First Coherent was out long before Linux. Coh was around long enough for AT&T to have sent D…

Coherent had Taylor UUCP. The most enthusiastic users were doing Usenet News delivered via UUCP. Coherent ran into big issues due to a nasty bug in the ATA disk driver. The users w…

The decision was before my time but it was based on a user survey. I have to admit that my vote was also for X11 rather than TCP/IP. I don't think people realized how tightly X11 w…

Almost certainly, the bigger factor is that the league darts, is totally dominated by large groups of partially-inebriated, sometimes hostile, men. A woman who sets off to become g…

Regarding competitive advantage, I don't think so but that's just an opinion without any backing in data. But that is an educated opinion, which I'll justify later. Regarding Mixed…
