They don't really work at the same scale. Kimchi is for managing a single host. Ovirt is aimed at managing datacenters, so it handles things like network, clusters, etc.

I know at least one large ISP that does exactly that, so I guess there's not much preventing everyone from doing it.

Apple considers that all sales across Europe actually happen in Ireland, so taxes on profit on sales in the whole EU are paid in Ireland. That part is perfectly legal within the EU. The issue is that the normal tax rate in Ireland is around

It's pretty easy (at least on Linux) to firewall all inbound/outbound traffic on your physical network interfaces, allowing only the bare minimum necessary to connect to the VPN server (DHCP to get a local ip + an udp/tcp con

The article has the name of one particular website repeated fourteen times, and it paints its marginal niche (sugar daddies) as something that everybody is doing, and as something normal and empowering for women. And, coincidentally, this w

Even without going into performance concerns, it's just harder to understand than the <= form. Example in this thread: half of the commenters consider that it means 1 <= len(vals) <= 5 and the other half consider that it means

The dashboard is gorgeous, one of the prettiest I've ever seen. But I wish it were a Riemann/Graphite/whatever dashboard instead of reimplementing its own data collection system. There is a need for great dashboards, but I do

The recommended ASGI server seems to be Daphne[0]. Nginx doesn't need to speak ASGI natively (as it doesn't speak WSGI natively), more likely Daphne would replace the WSGI server (gunicorn, etc) running behind nginx. [0] https:&#

Have you used both jails and Docker? Saying docker is a much more polished option doesn't match my experience. Yes, it has more features, but with these features come more bugs. Some of them are minor annoyances. Some are of the "

People are talking about the cost of Heroku, but it doesn't seem that outrageous to me. I mean, $180/month for a running app, that is making money, isn't that much. Once the traffic grows, and you're spending $500 or $10

Unless it has changed recently, it's opt-out. The instructions are mostly for re-adding the key if you have removed it.

We use it to run a bunch of periodic report-building tasks. Compute internal metrics, archive support tickets, that sort of things. Compared to plain cron, we get proper tracking and history of the runs that failed, and a web UI to access t

Scaling storage? The highest public plan Github allows 125 repositories. Unless you have a lot of huge repositories, 125 repositories fit into a single smallish hard drive. Even with 10x redundancy, that's still cheaper than github. Fr

That's not how it works on a decent VPN system. If you try to do that, the VPN client will notice that the spoofed server isn't presenting a valid certificate or doesn't use a valid key, and refuse to connect. Same reason you

Reading the bugs and threads linked, the biggest issue seems to be that some people from the debian installer team decided to write their own live cd and declared that Debian Live was obsolete, without ever speaking to the people from Debia

Last spring, France passed a quite intrusive bill that pretty much legalized mass-interception of communications. The general public didn't really care much.

In theory, the point of Google Fonts is that it does user-agent sniffing to adapt the font and css to the user's browser, to get the best rendering. You would lose that advantage by hosting the fonts yourself.

Everything related to Glacier is ridiculously complicated. The pricing is tricky (the per-GB price is cheap, but the retrieval can get horribly expensive). There's the fixed 4-hour delay for all actions (including listing stored files)

Compared to VPS, you give up some flexibility (bare metal servers are generally only available for a month), but, at equivalent price, the specs are better on bare metal servers. Colo can be even cheaper, but it needs additional skills, and

A whois on the domain serving the offending javascript leads to White Ops[0], who seems to sell tools to protect against Ad Fraud. So I'm guessing this is part of their fingerprinting system, to determine whether I am a human or a bot.

In most cases, this shouldn't pose any issues (though some games doing crazy things with networking could be affected). These rules restrict the ports listening directly on the internet. The average gaming PC is behind a home router, h

The guide advocates an EC2 security group that allows everything, plus disabling the Windows firewall. That's quite insecure, and unnecessary. It's probably better, and not more work, to create a security group that only allows: *

Unless you have all the details and you have compared the price of both options, you don't know that it's cheaper. That seems unlikely to me, for an entity of the size of UT Austin. They probably have enough jobs to run to keep th
