Hypothetically speaking if the load-balancer is directing the traffic depending on the cookies then the environments can be very well separated behind the balancer. My other thought on this was if they use any separate static web asset mana

zram in Linux kernel should be quite close to what the advertised "Compressed Memory" feature is in Mavericks. AFAIK zram is using LZO compression. According to some tests it is about the same efficiency as WKdm (used in Mavericks

Isn't a luxury hotel the worst place to hide? I'm sure there are cameras and one is easily recognized when getting out of the room. Or is this just a 48h maneuver to clear up the political situation and then if needed move to one

According to https://live.gnome.org/Wayland Gnome 3.12 will be fully ported to Wayland at Spring 2014. Hopefully others will pick up soon as well. I am not sure if "smaller" window managers such as XMonad would b

Not following, just curious to see how many find Win adequate to their needs and if Linux is worth the conf hassle for others. I'd love to try all out but OS X with a MBP is a rather expensive for just trying out. Borrowing for a weekend is

Was there anything specific that you felt especially annoying in OS X or something missing that was available in Linux?

I'm mostly doing java, eclipse rcp, python and web stack work so Linux would be fine. But occasionally I need to work with color-calibrated monitors for photo processing and I have yet to try out if Linux and ICC get along fine and if there

Most of the time even a handshake can be too much. Reminds me a post from David Cohen [1] who pointed to Brad Feld on the same topic [2]. Time to wake up that bro courage and start fist-bumping people ;) With hugging there's always also the

Fully agreed on the server compromise risk. Fortunately this attack vector would compromise only users who log in after the attack. Users who don't are still safe. Improving this situation could involve keeping a browser extension that take

MEGA servers store the hash of the password, not the password itself. Unlocking a key requires a real password but the server knows only the hashed version. This way they can't capture the real password to unlock. The trick would be to mak
