To be fair, Samba4 setups are super easy, so for the HN crowd it probably isn't terrible advice. I've been running one at home since the first TP in 2006, and I don't spend any time thinking about or maintaining them (running

I’ve been using it for years now. I have a Debian vm that is configured as a NATing router so I can flexibly send traffic wherever I want. Also use unbound to use the company dns for company internal queries only. With the particular Palo

To throw a confounding variable into your equation, I purchased the Bunn unit for $250CDN as a refurb unit from a commercial coffee dealer on my way through Vancouver and have needed to replace one switch (generic, which I had in a parts bo

Any thoughts for adding good TCO commercial grade things? As an example, after I got upset throwing away my 5th coffee maker in a row, I found myself a Bunn pourover coffee maker on craigslist. They are made for huge duty cycles and every p

Is a promise a realistic way to prevent it? What about in the event of a sale, merger, takeover, etc? Is there a proper legal way to make it unusable forever? Even if there is a legal way, if the technological means exist, will it be taken

I think they are referring to switches vs. hubs (repeaters). If you have been on an Ethernet segment that uses hubs instead of switches, you will remember that tcpdump will allow you to see all traffic to all stations. That was typically al

As an anecdote, I previously tried to run Plex without any connections back to the mothership, and they were doing some super crazy stuff (server _and_ client side) to ensure that it wouldn't work if those servers/IPs were blocked

Specifically Azure Active Directory We (like many other orgs, I expect) have gone all-in on AAD, so this has pretty much taken down everything company wide with the exception of the factories. Good thing the plant floor isn't tied in.

Octodad has an offline 4 player mode like this. It’s actually pretty hilarious. I’ve played it with my 3 sons a few times, and it’s especially great if you randomize who has what limb after each achievement

Alex Evans is statix/acme? As I never was able to go to a democompo (rural west-coast Canadian upbringing), I have trouble picturing all these demoscene heroes of my youth as actual people... Acme's 303 is one of my favourite demo

I hire for industrial IT, and being able to handle the anxiety of a high-pressure situation with grace (e.g. mill down, losing tens of thousands of dollars a minute) is an important factor. No one expects miracles, but you need to be able t

There is a mix of metric and non-metric products, with panel products having more than lumber. Occasionally you even run into other weird measuring systems such as in traditional Japanese beams. North America seems very stuck in imperial me

I also agree. I was IT lead for a Kraft paper plant in the recent past, and the control rooms were indistinguishable from these. The big difference, which you wouldn't realize from pictures, is that the guts of all the old relay-based

The only universal fix I can think of for this class of attacks is to have routers bound latency to a lower limit (eg. 200ms), with fixed latency buckets (eg. 500ms granularity) when it goes beyond that. That is, no traffic would traverse t

Mame has lots of great multiplayer games. As an example, we've been playing Trog and Gain Ground lately as a family. Bubble Bobble is another obvious choice, but really there are thousands of 2-4 player coop games. You can usually set

I think its fair that renewals would be allowed beyond that, but that the cost of doing so should increase on an exponential scale. That way the value of keeping a thing copyrighted would eventually be eclipsed by its value as a public prop

Definitely. FreePBX was an amazing way to get a fully featured PBX with very little time investment. When I finally wanted to ditch the GUI and get to a bare-bones Asterisk years later, the concepts carried over. The hardest part was tuning
