You're talking about a subset of ASCII then. Unicode is supposed to support different languages and advanced typography, for which those characters are necessary. You can't write e.g. Arabic or Hebrew without those "unnecessa

Most people using Slack, Teams etc. and especially those making purchase decisions have no idea what XMPP is and what it's capable of. Heck, even Facebook used to federate XMPP until they decided to go proprietary. Not in the interest

Sloppy memory management is what uses memory. But those apps are in a class of their own, along with Electron apps.

Sales tax is actually very different beacuse it is usually either cumulative and added to each part of the chain, or only the last one; whereas VAT is deducted in all but the last part of the chain.

by abujazar 8mo ago
Yea, the idea is that the VAT effectively taxes the added value in each step of the value chain because there's a limit to how much you can charge for an item or service. E. g. a 25 % VAT does not necessarily mean the goods become 25 %

This is not basic income, it’s a grant for artists. Still a good idea though.

Sure, I've managed both clusters and single node deployments in production until 2025 when I changed jobs. Elastic definitely does have its strengths, but they're increasingly enterprise-oriented and appear not to care a lot about

Used to be, but they're very complicated to operate compared to more modern alternatives and have just gotten more and more bloated over the years. Also require a bunch of different applications for different parts of the stack in orde

Fascinating, but the dataset is obviously incomplete – there's barely any traffic in Europe until mid april. January-march looks as if there's been a zombie apocalypse.

Agreed 100 %, but the snow kept me from reading the whole article. Would've thought the snow icon turned it off, but instead it changed the background color… Liquid Glass is bad, but not _that_ bad.

True, but the dishwasher should have its own firewall regardless, and assuming it'll be on IPv4 behind a firewalled NAT is by itself an implementation error.

by abujazar 9mo ago
It provides no security by itself. There have been (and still are) countless vulnerable Internet reachable NAT routers which can easily be exploited to provide access to the whole private network behind it. NAT by itself can't be relie

No, because sensibly configured routers would still block incoming traffic regardless of NAT.

Unless the downtime was caused by something Cloudflare would've prevented, this downtime would've happened regardless of being behind Cloudflare. Cloudflare adds another single point of failure.

That's quite abusive behavior. I'm sorry for these wives, having to deal with this as it's probably not the only thing they have to endure. And how do the spouses "prove" they're not cheating when they're

$1000 for 20 TB of data transfer sounds like fraud. You can get a VM instance with 20 TB included INTERNET traffic at Hetzner for €4.15.

No, they'll just get a spectacular view of the aurora.

Also: 100 % cloud cover in basically all of Northern Europe :/ Iceland is probably the place to be for the aurora show!

Wow, it's not even a parody. The iPhones are so huge and heavy now it needs its own purse.

I guess it's partially because ISPs are perfectly happy selling crippled internet connectivity as the base service and charging hefty premiums for "luxuries" like static IPs. It has also become common to only offer static IPs

by abujazar 1y ago
It's useful when the client always has its own static IP that _doesn't change_ between sessions. In this case, where the public facing IP may be shared by thousands of users, it provides no real security. All you'd have to do

Nowadays public facing client IPs are often shared by thousands of users behind CGNAT. IP based firewall rules are useful when the peers have their own static IP address, but provide no real security when the IP address is shared. This is v

Time to switch to Garage for dev environments and reconsider minio for prod. This is not how to do open source.
