    I looked quickly at some online master offering and you are exactly describing the struggle. Some places seem to charge an enormous amount of money (>40k$) and some other a fairly …

    Wow! So the original story is written on the blog of a company that is creating Chart of clouds architectures (and probably being on the edge)? I'm amazed by how niche that busines…

    I thought the same thing. I believe the author intentionally wanted us to believe it was "the edge" based on your definition, but then wanted to make a point that "the edge" is now…

    I will take the least of two evils. Look at the incentive and core business of the two companies. Cloudflare is not in the business of mining as much data about you as possible. Th…

    For performance and privacy reasons, you should use Cloudflare DNS. Please don't trust blindly Google when they say they don't use your DNS request data. It is their core business …

    We are living in a new century of censorship. BigTech companies have become so big, that they are the one deciding what to allow or not allow based on some weird guidelines ("Hate …

    yes. I honestly don't know why this was not done. It sounds like the most obvious thing to do if you know that the burglars are going to come back anyways the next day.

    Why did they not park the car back and wait with the police on call in order to catch the thieves that would have come back the next night?

    Exactly. Use the laws supposedly made for poor people, and use them at your advantage (like most of the wealthy do). Also yell and pretend high and clear that you want to help the …

    Did you write up or have a link on how you managed to do this ? I'm currently struggling with a similar configuration. I have a XPS 9570 with integrated 15" 4K screen, and an exter…
