I prefer Newspeak

With thanks in part to the security community and part to Intel, the budget that can be spent avoiding a syscall just keeps increasing every year

This read more like an advert than a comment, and that is certainly the most loaded question I've ever seen in written English. Giant centralized troves of personal data are a huge…

Unsurprisingly for a spec from Fastly & CloudFlare, the privacy offered is predicated on the existence of large centralized providers that due to their size cannot be blocked. One …

Centralizing the log files for the majority of Internet services in the hands of a few companies will never be good for security

Far from it. It's quite likely going to be over 5 years if not a decade before it would be possible to run a pure-HTTP3 service without risking connectivity problems The problem is…

> Now all those traffic shaping middle-boxes are worthless No reasonable implementation of encrypted SNI has been proposed or standardized. Those middleboxes are still more than us…

But doesn't that criteria also describe every open source mailing list ever?

Wish all distros shipped https://github.com/vozlt/nginx-module-vts by default. It's a minor pain to self-build

It always strikes me as uncannily brave to see a post like this. So many statements associated with one username.. - I no longer work at $company, and their stuff sucks - ergo, the…

Stream is for VOD, live TV is an entirely different problem

The EU could build support for this 1000 different ways. They need only shake another GDPR-shaped stick that gently encourages business to buy local and the rest would be history. …

This isn't the first route leading straight to satellites. I forget the name of the provider, but there is at least one big allocation where whatever you're sending to it is basica…

Pretty hilarious, 32gb sodimms are only 150 GBP in the UK, Apple charging 200 for 16. Similarly, 2TB disk for 800 GBP, open market it's 219. Some PC laptop vendor could do a whole …

Basically most of what runs on k8s, including most of the k8s control plane, lives in a container. So for the most part, the only material concern about the host machine and OS is …

I don't understand all this angst. In a well run infrastructure, Kubernetes basically just boils down to a new config file to describe some proxy rewrite rules, and how much RAM yo…

Managed to miss this, thanks. I'd be interested to hunt out the BPO ticket at some stage to see if they benchmarked on NFS or spinning rust

The Django development server's asynchronous auto reloader is neither unique nor uncommon.

Managing self-installed k8s is a pain in the ass right now, but not much more than trying to manually install Linux without using e.g. the Ubuntu installer. Would that put you off …

Difficulty with git basics is the least of your worries. For example pycs are fundamentally racy, it is quite possible to have a .py newer than a .pyc depending on how unlucky you …

Highly recommend "export PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1" in your bashrc and just forget about it. Pyc files are still an important optimization on modern machines in some circumstances …

What kind of laptop bag do you use for the monitor?

Typical ill-considered comment from Linus, and surprising for someone getting on his years. Column width is an accessibility issue . I'm barely in my mid 30s and the average font s…
