   I've had my mail servers at Linode for about 8 years now, no problems at all. If anything, I am more restricted on mail processing rules than anyone else.

   Perhaps. I would just put the equipment in the "Band Room". i.e. Sound proof, you can't even hear the drummer. Power conditioners will stop most signal leakage. There are no windows in the band room, so LED's aren&#x

   By any chance have you run iperf3 when routing through a couple hops? I would be very interested in the numbers. Today I accomplish that behavior using Tinc vpn, but it is slow when routing through multiple hops.

   I can't speak for developers. I can speak as an engineer however. Building from source, I can ensure all the latest glibc hardening options are applied to the builds of the software I use. e.g. PIE, Full RELRO, NX, stack protection,

   I would like to add that security through obscurity is not bad when it used as layers in the security cake. Delicious red velvet cake with cool fluffy chocolate frosting and a side of ice cream.

   That helps, but you would still need to disable ssh multiplexing on all of your servers.

    I wish everyone checked their authorized_keys file like you do. Sadly, this is rarely the case across the board, based on my experience. People are lazy. There are good aspects of being lazy, but this is one of the sub-optimal cases. In

    There are also some significant vulnerabilities [1] in SSH by design / by default that must be disabled if used everywhere. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11052745

    I deleted my facebook account shortly after being talked into creating it. Why? 1) I started to lose respect for my friends, after watching their drama on FB. TMI. 2) I was being bombarded with small games that were clearly carved out of

    I got that from The Register and I agree with their assessment. I can't walk 50 feet without seeing someone with their face buried in their phone, even while they are walking around town, oblivious to the world around them. It actuall

    Fair enough. Maybe it's like an arms race, or a shell game. but you are probably right.

    Two can play at this game. Surely folks here at HN can create something that is not technically or legally encryption, but accomplishes the same goal.

    I agree with you. Every time I bring that up, I get down-voted due to the cognitive dissonance that folks have with their fondle-slabs. Now people are being conditioned to think it's normal for their microphone to always be on.

    To add to that, sshd should never be exposed directly on the internet. There are a myriad of ways to hide it. Port-knocking, poor-mans port-knocking using iptables and xt_recent, Ostiary server/client, firewall to specific networks,

    I agree. Someone is still hosting the servers and services. It is just someone else. It is also just a re-spin of the term Application Service Provider. That term never gained popularity. There are some discussions of API's. Wheth

    You probably know this, but any public channel a user is in can be relayed to a 3rd party (entirely) if that user subscribes to an app that was approved. All of those messages are also available for any of your admins to pull on demand.

    The number one request I get from folks around screen is how to have more than 40 screens in a single screen session. It is a hard coded limit. (MAXWIN 40) Many people recompile it to have more, but I don't want to maintain yet anot

    This is why you must drop all fear of being fired. I had to work for a really bad company to lose my fears. It was the best thing that ever happened in my career.

    I am looking forward to the updated interface and happy to see you are moving away from ColdFusion. I have been with Linode for many years and have always been happy with the service. Thank you and thanks to the Linode staff for everything
