There's a reasonable amount of free WiFi in London, but it's not everywhere. In some places, you might need to ask for a password etc. If you just need data, you can get a mifi for…

> The only reason telcos talk about heavy users is that they want to engage in price discrimination and they know it confuses people who are used to dealing with commodities whose …

Yeah, you can. The functionality is called "services". I'm not sure how auto-versioning would work with git though. I have packages building from SVN, and OBS updates the spec file…

In both cases, it would depend on the nature of your work and the kind of client. If your work varies, you may want to highlight some areas of your portfolio to be more appropriate…

You can do the SSL before Varnish, then it makes no difference.

cURL doesn't provide a CA bundle any more [1], it's the job of your OS to provide this. As I understand it, all tools that provide SSL support will fail safe if there are no root C…

It might be worth trying again, at least in theory, you should get correct CDN endpoints whatever happens. I suppose there might be an exception to this if a CDN has edge nodes wit…

Firefox does something like this. It doesn't load tab content on restart until the tab gains focus.

I just had a quick glance, the Kopimi image only seems to be in the footer of the homepage.

There's some pretty detailed information about the Unreal Engine [1] that might give you some ideas to think about around network protocols for games. At the time they were dealing…

I also prefer Firefox's handling of SSL issues. Allowing permanent whitelisting of sites reduces the number of times a user will see the warning, reducing the muscle memory around …

Doesn't that mean that the people who can afford $x, who advertisers would like to target, are the only ones who turn off ads?

Vagrant does have support for the general case, where something in 7 lines will be a bit more specific. For example, Vagrant will handle cross distro/OS NFS shared folders.

You just need to fill in the form at https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/no-licence-needed/ every three years. I've done that before and it's stopped the letters.

Software makes assumptions, though most decent time libraries will correctly combine local and date to show the skipped days. It might be a bit lazy though, running "cal sept 1752"…

Yes. You can see the full lookup path with "dig yourdomain.com +trace" if you are interested

It's Free Software, you can run it yourself or switch providers at will. The catch may be in the lack of features compared to a proprietary option (like Heroku)

Bongs can be used to smoke legal drugs, and there are a number of subtly different devices (like a shisha) for smoking tobacco.

It's not so much a database as a pattern: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EURion_constellation

I was playing with YaCy a little, and there is an "Intranet" mode. As far as I can make out, this can operate in a distributed way, but behind the firewall. I didn't look into how …
