You'd think the ROC/PRC situation might make them cautious about wandering into the middle of a US/PRC pissing match though.

That's dangerous thinking. Any un-patched service can turn into a pivot point. If the same folks who managed more critical pieces of infrastructure log in there, it can almost cert…

Not really. It's technically possible with Ksplice, but almost no distro actually supports it. Beyond the kernel, you have various libs and binaries that will be replaced during up…

Does that mean part of your infrastructure saw no kernel patches in 4 years? OS uptime gave me pride in the 90s. Today it's usually a bad sign.

And before Tera, SGI bought Cray in 1995.

The consumer gear was trash. The server lines were an entirely different story. Also worth noting that by the mid 2000s, Compaq was just a branding on the consumer side. The hardwa…

Try again: https://www.top500.org/system/179566 There are plenty of System X HPC installs. They just no longer come from IBM. Even when IBM still owned the line, it was being outso…

IBM never left HPC. They sold off their x86 lines, but all their big toys run POWER variants.

Arguably, HPE has more of a Compaq legacy than HP legacy. Much of their x86 server line has a Compaq lineage.

HP isn't one company. They are two completely separate companies that share part of their name.

The Berkeley location was also their corporate HQ. I think 90% of my meals were from GO (with the remaining 10% split between E&J BBQ and Brennan's) when I lived in Berkeley.

A mix of the two seems more likely -- ipv6-only to the device, with nat64/dns64 used to handle ipv4 traffic. T-Mobile has been ipv6-only for devices supporting 464xlat since 2014.

And that means...?

A Project Fi data only sim is probably your best bet.

I'm not sure -- I haven't messed with a Pixelbook. On Chromebooks, the trust root lives in the bootloader's flash with no security beyond the write protect screw. A quick googling …

Awesome post, but a very minor nitpick: > Chromebooks use both, coreboot on x86, and u-boot for the rest. This isn't entirely true. Coreboot is used on a number of ARM Chromebooks,…

Kinda-sorta? Matrix is an incredibly centralized service masquerading as an easily self-hosted distributed service. The moment you try to get a non-technical user connected to a ho…
