I maintain VPS across different providers (Linode, DO, vultr, budgetvm, etc) and haven't had any real issues with them. Based on my interactions with their customer support, the level of support you receive is about what you'd sh

I had come to the same conclusion with respect to ID which made the plot a lot easier to swallow. They were essentially a hive mind working with a single purpose and were therefore incapable of conceiving the notion that they would need to

Any idea what happens to those of us that have legacy lifetime accounts for supporting Dyn in the early days?

It's good to see my paranoia about depending on a single cloud provider is not entirely misplaced. Losing access to my Google account because of some virtually unaccountable automated process would suck but at least I do frequently ex

Is there a ELIF type link for licensing that explains what we are allowed to do with this on Linux? Can I use it for development work on a company owned workstation?

Yeah, I don't really get that either. I have been using Windows, OS X (I mean macOS) and various Linux distributions for years. Each one of them comes with their own particular set of quirks/warts and I can't objectively say

Ghost peppers are the hottest peppers I've ever dared to eat directly. They are so far beyond hot that I don't even feel a burning sensation - more like pure, unadulterated pain like you'd expect from having a nail driven th

That's certainly an interesting read but if I really care about something I'll usually generate PAR files. At that point, does it really matter what archiver I'm using at the time or should I still be worried? https:/&

I think the author hit upon some pretty good points. Several years ago when I started poking around Scala I really had to push myself to work with it and especially with respect to simple thigns like do I download SBT or Scala. One of the

At more than one place where I've worked with at least semi-functional management, people with attitudes like that tend to get moved to special "one person" teams and then are given a long stream of crap work (or at least wor

No, not just Java (really J2EE). The actual problem can manifest itself anywhere where dogmatic design principles are allowed to trump pragmatism.

Yep, I have a brand new SSD drive that over the course of a few months accumulated several TERAbytes (yes - TERA) of writes directly attributable to the default FF browser session sync interval coupled with the fact I leave it open 24/

If the feature existed and it didn't properly restore form content when I switched back to the tab then I'd call that a bug. :-D

I'm currently at a little over 1 GB with 8 tabs open. I really wish I had the option to trade off responsiveness for memory usage by being able to mark tabs as "no background activity allowed" so FF could serialize that conte

I skimmed over the paper and that is pretty scary stuff. Just being able to infer that two arbitrary hosts are communicating with each other is bad enough but this seems to allow for arbitrary data injection and connection reset attacks.

Personally, the amount of time I've spent re-typing data into a browser form because of accidentally pressing the backspace key while a field wasn't focused (usually caused by brushing the touchpad on my laptop) far outweighs the

That and being able to trivially resize/reshape BTRFS storage volumes after adding/removing devices makes it more suitable for my personal home use.

That really assumes residential ISPs out there decide to fully embrace the idea behind IPv6 instead versus doing something asinine like handing out a single /128 address. Fortunately, mine hands me a /64 so I'm not in that si

I have more or less the same problem coming from vi(m). I forced myself to use Emacs for about 2-3 months to get past the "this is hard because it is unfamiliar" stage. I found Emacs to be relatively pleasant as an environment fo

I know this doesn't help you now but usually it is best to wait for the .1 release of a new LTS (in this case, 16.04.1) before updating from the previous one. I did a test upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 on a workstation that I didn't

Sure, using PayPal as a buyer is great as long as you never get into a dispute with a seller. It took about 4 months for me to get PayPal to refund my money when a seller on eBay ripped me off. PayPal support was so inept they claimed that

I've had so many hours of entertainment playing Dwarf Fortress I usually donate $10-$20 every major release. Well worth it if you can get past the UI.

Yes, Microsoft did. There are live tiles in the start menu that feature apps from the Microsoft app store. Of course, removing them from the start menu is as simple as right-clicking and selecting remove. They don't really bother me
