About 10 years ago I (as a BMW owner) was invited by BMW to participate in a consumer research group. We were shown a number of different possible future BMW developments, and asked our opinions of each. By the end of the evening, I had g

One thing the fine article does not list as a reason to run your own DNS is if you need a secondary name server. There are plenty of options (Route 53, etc.) if you only need a primary, but all Internet domains should have at least two aut

The cause of this is a known behavior of Unix/Linux scripts, but unfortunately not everyone knows this. If you change a script while it is running, the shell that runs it will read (what it thinks is) the next line from the old script

U//FOUO is an obsolete caveat. It has been replaced by CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information). If this information has been publicly released, I would assume that it does not comprehensively list all of the methods/source

It's better now, but in the early days of organized blacklists (more than 20 years ago) it was somewhat chaotic. Many large ISPs ran their own blacklists and some were poorly managed. AOL was the worst of them all. Their admin staff

I've been running my own (and other) email servers for over 25 years. About four years ago I switched mine over from sendmail (with a bunch of add-ons like spamd/spamassassin, rbl, etc.) to mailinabox. Mailinabox is full-feature

Can we please use dBa (a measure of absolute sound pressure) rather than dB (a relative term used in many domains)?

Not stated in the other replies to your question: Vi is available on pretty much any UNIX derivative OS, and many other platforms. You can learn it once on your platform of choice, and then when you find yourself using some new (or old) p

Santa Susana Field Laboratory. It was picked up by Boeing when they acquired Rocketdyne and I had the pleasure(?) of visiting a few times. The building I visited was across the street from where the meltdown had occurred, but it had a sep

I've also done a few successful mods with a hacksaw. One time I used a hacksaw to remove part of a 4-lane PCIe connector on a server motherboard so I could plug in a 32-lane PCIe video card. It worked great. Another time I wanted to p

The normal CPU draw was on the order of 500W. Given that you only get full power from the panels for ~8 hours per day, the rest went into the batteries. I didn't actually run on batteries unless the mains was down. It was built as a

I did this 20 years ago and ran the server for about 10 years. I down-scaled the server hardware when I transitioned to solar, but soon discovered that the low-power server just could not keep up with the demand. I upgraded to something i

I'm not sure such a proposal would fly. It would be overtly acknowledging the policy shift toward a federal power grab. There would be some resistance and perhaps even some re-balancing of federal/state powers in the end. As lon

How soon we forget that "not my president" was inspired not by Biden, but by Trump. I guess it was all okay to organize political protest groups back in 2016, but somehow it's not okay anymore today.
