I gave up on Mikrotik when I got one of their Switches, which explicitly have support for VLANs, and could only discover that the .. vlan..support was so botched that it couldn't make default VLAN's on different ports.

Gandi are free if you have domain hosting with them.

That's fine and dandy. It's not fine when it's an open source project from three years and four compiler versions ago that you want to compile, and find -Werror on every line invocation in a Makefile. What you build with in-h

One of the _good_ things about open sourcing parts of a larger stack of software is that it enforces protocols and API's in a much more thought-out manner. I've also found that integration tests are a great thing here. If an inter

Okay, I'll bite. I'm a nice guy. Please tell me the deployment steps for a single-file python script. With PHP, it's "install php mod_php, place files in directory" . With Python it is... what?

We started up new development a couple of weeks ago, With it was the choice of language, runtime and so on. Python3 ended up being the target for server-side bits. Thanks to the fact that Pyramid now is Python3 capable. We are still findin

It has a hard dependency on Logind. Logind was merged into systemd after the Gnome integration ( replacing ConsoleKit with logind ) happened. This means that Gnome became retroactively dependent on systemd-logind.

Part of the wayland integration as well. Wayland won't support middle-click to paste, nor will it provide the X copy buffers. This means that middle mouse paste + mark-to-copy has to be provided by toolkits, in some kind of way. Tha

Well, A traditional Epic is a (long!) story that arcs over years, With life-changing events for a culture/nation. It should have a journey part, a hero part and a homecoming (usually). Traditional Epics would be Gilgamesh, Iliad, Od

Of Epic scale, more individual frames than all the xkcd comics to date. A grand and world-changing story for a people. Not spanning years, which a traditional Epic would require, but still containing acts of heroism and tales of adventure.

Well, as long as there aren't any more data-eating bugs like with thin provisioned LVM in RHEL 6. In that case, xfs_repair did abysmal job in coping with the data corruption, which didn't quite provide confidence.

Actually, they give it to you for the year when you renew as well. So if you renew yearly, you get a year ssl as well.

As someone who's been in the distribution business a couple of years ago, I can tell that it isn't as well supported in practice. Imagine for example, a rather classical stack. Let's take KDE cause they are on the top of the news. we have l

You tend to struggle a bit against it to begin with. "what do you mean, conflicts?!" "do as I want, dammit" and so on ;) But after a while you realise that rpm -Va is a wonderful tool that you'll miss.

CentOS / RHEL comes with a working SELinux setup out of the box, which is something that Debian lacks. For some, SELinux is just another pain in the arse to be disabled as soon as you run into a permission problem, for others, it comes wi

What I (not previous poster) am mostly against when it comes to Steam and it's DRM is that in any kind of conflict with Valve, they will ban access to your _complete_ steam library. This means, if you ever have a PayPal-froze-my-account iss

In many cases this is a good thing (tm). The large buffers tend to "hide" retransmits and dropped packets with a buffelength of latency, which will instead increase the burstiness pattern in many cases.

The Linux kernel is a public example of a LARGE software project being maintained for a long time (Several years) without any source control, then migrating to BitKeeper, and seeing a large increase in development rate as a result of this.

In the past I have used it to make fsync and similar a no-op. ( This allows you to explicitly turn off data-security for certain processes, in order to either get performance, or to prevent them from affecting the rest of your system)

Better integrity checks, mostly. Built in checksums of files, stricter limits on what you can do as a package ( no controlling terminal and so on ) whereas in deb it's "optional" and "flexible" (aka. not built in and maybe people will get
