Or you could just, use a secure anonymous coin like say monero and forget all this time consuming effort to try and anonymous a non anonymous coin.

Yeah that phone is so NOT secure. Like horribly not secure. I blame google/android. See: https://charlescarrollsociety.com/2016/01/22/silentcircle-bl... Things have not gotten better. So no, there are no

Bitcoin is just a perfect example of the greater foo theory in action. Someone’s going to be left holding the bag.

Reading most of the replies here reminds me the gun debate. It’s one side that has experience with said subject and the other side that has zero. And they argue. Some posters don’t believe there is any difference between eggs from a small f

I don’t know why oracle would want it. Since buying sun the share and recognition of sun hardware is even less than the lowest point since sun owned sun. I haven’t seen a sun box in over a decade. Except eBay. I guess oracle has the cash t

I... WOW. This one is epic. I don’t even... wow.

Because almost every thing that Linux implements is poorly done. Let’s take the subject at hand. Containers. They never created containers. Instead they came up with docker. And never designed it to be secure. Hence all these efforts to fig

Meh I don’t consider it bad. It’s in FreeBSD. You want it? Run FreeBSD. Waiting for Linux to implement their “version” of capsicum, poorly, Might be a while. Plus you have other great tech like CloudABI in FreeBSD as well which makes it eve

You also have access to BHyve on FreeBSD for a good hypervisor.

The stories I’m sure some of us could tell. Between Draper, the raves, all of the Cons (pumpcon, summercon, defcon in the early 90s). I’m sure some folks could go to jail and not for wire fraud or computer crime either. But as you noted, th

It makes sense to this degree only, if you DONT use ECC no matter where you are using ZFS you are introducing potential checksum errors in the data path. ECC is not that much more than normal ram. To me it makes no sense to run ZFS even if

Exactly. But it does work. I’m being down voted by the clueless brigade.

No idea about MySQL. I use postgresql exclusively. And it screams pretty good on ZFS. You can set the record size. The sector size. If you’re insane you can mess with fsync. You can tune ZFS so easily to handle the workload you have.

Colin is one of the many smart wizards we are lucky to have in FreeBSD land. Well done Colin!

AFAIR infiniband support in FreeBSD has been there for a very long time.

FWIW Ron has been around a looooong time. He used to work on FreeBSD in the early 90s.

I could have saved him the trouble has he asked before doing this on quora. Seriously the culinary world is full of the worlds rejects. Junkies, alcoholics, thieves and the mentally unstable. I took a break from IT to pursue a culinary care

I just want to hijack this thread to say hipps other creation Fossil SCM is a great SCM. Better than git imo. Everyone should check it out.

That's not a problem. You are not entitled to the work of others. And the original bsdl code is just as available to you as it was to them for you to improve upon in a similar way.

This thread and the culture of those replying to it fascinate me. Do you really enjoy spending this much time debating licenses, clauses, and legal matters? I personally, just have to many more important things to do than worry about and wa

I think actually you can. If you rewrite 75%? 80%? You can relicense it. Legally I think the law views that as new code not a modification. A lawyer may need to correct me but I seem to recall something like this.

That's what I find most impressive. The insane amount of bits they do from a single FreeBSD box. And I concur as well on the BSD crew responsible for engineering it. The grey beards are getting harder to find as they retire and I weep

I think YouTube simply has first to market mindshare. I personally use and prefer Vimeo. It's a better experience and quality. I don't think anything technical or special keeps YouTube number one other than first to market mindsha

Their open conect FreeBSD boxes are nuts. The amount of data they spew is crazy. 1/3 of all internet traffic. One service. Mind blowing.

Considering the atrocious UX of the google services and apps I use this has no value for me and won't until they actually produce good UX. Google fiber tv being one of the worst.

I use DarkSiteFinder [1], to find dark spots for astronomical viewing. It's really depressing how far I have to go in the Midwest! to get to a "dark" sky. Depressing! [1]: http://darksitefinder.com/maps&#x2F

As usual, another example of the Linux echo chamber. It's just one constant inward gaze with that crowd. They learn nothing from anyone, only trial and error.
