Netflix traffic patterns are definitely unlike almost every other large network, but I do wonder how much they're missing by sampling TCP only. TFA mentions transport of (aggregated) flow data back to base over a choice of protocols, i

In Australia we tend to be 5-15 years behind most of the (dubious or otherwise) business trends from EU / US -- though every place I've worked here since the 1990's has eagerly embraced open office. Reasons pushed typically i

If you're an organisation with vCenter, even if you don't have it 'onto the internet' you're far from safe. Your exposure then is merely every user and every (other) device on your internal network that has routa

Fair enough. In the general case, if you're genuinely interested, hop onto Board Game Geek - they're the definitive community site for all things board game related. They offer an advanced search feature where you plugin your pre

At around the same time I was working at a startup in London. We had two sizeable clusters - Hadoop and Cassandra - neither of which was conveniently elastic, but were located on EC2. We had sundry other instances, but those were the majo

Well, here in AU we definitely need better government policies - as our current administration is hellbent on coal and gas, and penalising renewables. As per the story linked in TFA, written by two former AU prime ministers, the reasons fo

I agree - Saltstack felt like a significantly superior design, but alas the RHEL effect won out.

The licence reference in the README points to a 2016 copyright date - marking a decade since Rusty Russell released his proof of concept hypervisor 'lguest', which was quickly re-dubbed the RustyVisor. http://lhype.ozla

Your first concern is addressed by saltstack - they chose an agent based approach, with client subscription, as the default, which makes for a significantly faster experience. They subsequently offered an ssh-based option for those that wan

I think the point was that 'the community' noticed the imbalance, and then spoke about it (refer the link in TFA [0]) and then ... nothing (useful) happened. It's slightly tangential to the seemingly quite hostile environment

Noted, thank you - but a quick search suggests Keychron isn't in that category. On the other hand, they have replaceable caps that are (individually) quite cheap. I'm 6-12 months away from a follow-up purchase, but will tag QMK o

Going out even further along the precariously pedantic limb - tonne is a measure of mass, not weight. ; )

Can confirm - Keychron didn't even come up on my initial searches a few years ago for mechanical + wireless, and I ended up with a couple (work, home) of the Logitech G613. These are good, solid devices, with a nice response - however

As a long-term (since last century) KDE user, it took me a long time to get used to Dolphin and wean myself off Konqueror. I still see some weird artefacts / behaviour in Dolphin, notably around the sizing of the quick-access panels on

A similar question is around what size training data do we have where we know works had different authors. My understanding is there's very little original material from this era to work with - as all biblical canon is replicas, from

Okular's my favourite PDF reader -- I install it even on Microsoft Windows machines I have to use -- but it doesn't read .epub or .mobi files unfortunately.
