Someone please correct me if I am incorrect, but that would be any mainstream linux not using the 4.14 kernel. Redhat, CentOS, Suse at least. Looks like CoreOS that is on 4.14 is on a minor release just prior to the PCID patch. It looks l

Not a public cloud. It does involve some private cloud visualization and containers.

hehe it was also the secret monkey code on some old raid controllers to tell them to commit their cache to disk. It isn't even strictly required these days, but old bugs and features find their way into systems all the time, so I just

Would it be feasible to put inductive chargers and battery banks under the parking spot, so that no wires are exposed and the spot could be used by non electric cars if required? Maybe a signal to/from the car to determine charge rate

30k physical servers. 512GB to 1TB ram each.

zram is cool, but still considered experimental. Even zswap is still fairly young. I have used both on my own systems. zswap is much easier to conifg.

It's a circular argument that people get into because they have the incorrect kernel settings. Even if you have 4TB of ram, someone will say to add more memory on disk. It just means the system is not configured correctly. I have 30

Ensure Transparent Huge Pages are disabled. There is a known bug/leak. The only fix is to set to madvise or disable it all together.

Allocate 20+% more memory that you could ever need. Use cgroups, lxc, systemd to constrain applications and containers to specific amounts of memory, cpu, etc. Properly engineered systems will have enough memory for everything else under

Then if technical solutions do not make it easier to avoid watching, you may want to see a counselor about substance abuse, self control, etc. There is no way to verify that people on HN are qualified to give such advice.

The reason those articles are suggesting swap is due to the settings I linked above that most people are missing. The kernel is not evacuating cache early enough and it gets wedged. Kernel devs even argue among themselves about this. A p

Are you asking for technical or psychological advice? From a technical perspective, one could implement blocking on their own network to make it harder (no pun intended) to find. pfSense might be helpful. There are browser addons to block

If you must use swap (you probably don't need to), then at least set zswap.enabled=1 in the kernel boot options, typically in grub. This will enable lzo compression of swap in memory so there is less writing to disk. Some newer kerne

If Comcast re-enable Sandvine and start tinkering with P2P and VPN traffic, will that be enough to start the conversations around anti-trust? Or is there already a precedent?

I didn't realize I was hysterical? Just asking a question based on the article and discussion in this thread. Do you have links to images from the scanner?

Are there no state or federal laws that regulate the storage and dissemination of nude children? I did not realize casinos were that powerful.

Assuming the streamer proves they are at or above the legal age of consent for their location, why could this not be tolerated?

Vegas has become family friendly, so to speak. Who assumes liability for the images of children? What are the legal protections around the storage, retention, secure deletion, handling and viewing of the images?

There are people sexually aroused by eyes as well.

by LinuxBender 9y ago
If this is such a problem, then clearly there is a demand for it. Perhaps create a channel just for sexual streaming. The only question is, what to call it?

Certainly, but you are increasing your risk by entering the property. Internet is entirely remote and can be somewhat anonymous through proxies. Perhaps you could even hire some kid to go ring the doorbell for you, but then that kid has s

It is not. In fact, homes occupied by mafia or drug producers commonly have the windows blocked by steel panels. The same is true for safe houses occupied by special agents. Some custom built homes intentionally have multiple windows that

The difference is, the attacker must be physically at the lock. Sure, they do that all the time. They risk getting shot. My neighbors have shot invaders. The Sheriff high-fived them. Now they can be in your neighborhood, using a list of

I watch accounts get popped all the time in cloud providers. Is it a good idea to bridge such risks to your home physical security?

My understanding was an arsonist was driving down the California coast and lighting fires when the winds were high. Was this not the case?

I am having a difficult time trying to imagine the legal gymnastics that would be required for this to work without incurring liabilities on everyone involved. I can think of hundreds of scenarios, but here is just one. I know your company

Retire. Relax. Perhaps tinker and work to better the internet, after I have recovered from being a desk jockey for quite a few decades.
