Either mark-for-delete has the same impact as deleting in terms of shooting all the Cloud resources associated with the subscription, at which point the outage still happens but ma…

A very complicated pattern matching engine providing an answer based on it's inputs, heuristics and previous training.

In reality, we are likely about to get yet another data point on where the lines for the average person really lie in the dimensions of functionality, friction, network effect and …

Likely the intended meaning here is that the practicality of space data centers goes against the physical realities of operating in space. The single most prevalent issue with oper…

A leased line though will only get you A B where sure, A and B can be anywhere but have to be concrete locations/hand off points when provisioned. It does ultimatley come down to t…

The [ONT → OLT(+BNG)] → Internet] sections of the paths will continue to be owned by commercial entities that can still be the subject of court orders and/or government pressure. E…

A DoS that will disappear once you close the funnel. Tailscale are proxying the traffic so your public IP isn’t exposed. Your choice of port makes no difference.

The comparison breaks down since, in race car terms, the great acceleration isn’t enough to offset the negatives that make electric cars poor race cars. So in a sense it is pointle…

> Most race cars aren't electric though? That analogy makes no sense. No, they aren't. I attend a significant amount of track events as a driver and I will see maybe 1 electic car …

Removing the security mechanism in my comment is akin to opening the safe to enable the search or entering your PIN number on a phone to unlock it. I can't really see how otherwise…

I don't see how banning payments would inherently create more opportunity for ransomware attacks. Assuming that the operators are already attacking as much as they can (why wouldn'…

It seems reasonable to suggest that the number of profit-driven ransomware endeavors and the number of for-fun ransomware endeavors can both be non-zero and contain some overlap an…

I would agree. My standard engagement with CS in Australia was a lot more personable and once it was recognized that a situation was off script they were far more willing to go int…

I'll +1 to this. Coming from Australia to the US I've found that (generally, especially in big corp entities/govt.) American customer service is always extremely courteous and eage…

Not exactly - they apply to whichever dictates your capacity - be it ingress or egress. Overwhelmingly, capacity for hyperscalers is dictated by egress peaks. Since most non-reside…

Having seen the other side of the fence (the hyperscaler side) I’m kind of bored with egress cost being continuously compared with your standard bare-metal hosting provider for a f…

I don't know about others, but I can't help but smile when I read the detailed series of events in aviation postmortems. To be able to zero in on what turned out to be a single fau…

By not reading past the word "Autopilot" in the product description and ticking the Accept Terms box instead of having their personal lawyer review it, like the rest of us do.

It provides a consistent IP address (in the CGNAT range) that the end-device is always reachable at. On top of that you can use MagicDNS or regular DNS records to refer to it. That…

Mostly standard VPN use cases. They can access my Plex server, Mealie instance and in turn I can remote access their devices without something like TeamViewer when they need IT Sup…

- Entire site-to-site tunneling/routing. I didn't have to do anything for my parents I just dropped a subnet router at their place. - Access my services/servers at home from anywhe…

For a pure client/server VPN between two devices sure, but I think that’s where the equivalence between Tailscale and “some lines of config” end.
