Here's my take on it: One of the main selling points for ZFS is the end-to-end cryptographic verification of file contents as well as all metadata. Everything in ZFS is hashed, and verified during reads. Without ECC RAM, your hashes

It absolutely does make sense for servers. One frequent pain point with virtualized systems is that (at least in a VMware vCenter DRS-enabled cluster), you never know what physical host a specific VM will be on at any moment. This is a pr

In setting up (and verifying) several VoIP E-911 systems and other PSTN phone systems, I've made dozens of "test" calls without issue. When the dispatcher answers, just tell them that you are testing 911 service and that you

That, and the ~6 watt current draw at full tilt (at least that's what it was when I was load testing a couple of 2d3 boards) is very nice on the utility bill. Their newly-released APU boards are very nice, with GigE interfaces, increas

I think you're ignoring (or are maybe just innocently ignorant of) one key topic: state. Stateful firewalls are exactly that - when an internal client initiates a TCP socket, for instance, the firewall knows to expect a series of repli

See my comment on the parent...having a public IP address does not mean that it's accessible from the internet.

This doesn't change with the vast majority of residential IPv6 deployments. Many people conflate having a public IP address with not having a firewall. This is not the case at all. Yes, internal clients will get public, routable IPv6 a

The only part of this robot I'm skeptical of is the "grind-on-demand" portion. As someone who regularly grinds my own chuck to make hamburgers, I've learned that in order to get a consistent, even mix between fat and mea

It's worth calling and talking to your sales rep about this. I've found AWS to be surprisingly accommodating with pricing.

Yep, it's possible, but to get them to sign a BAA with you, you need to agree to only use a very small subset of the AWS products (basically just EC2 and S3. No RDS, no ELB, etc.). Additionally, any EC2 instance you provision need to

That's what I thought as well, but recently found out otherwise. While it is true that, for buckets in the US Standard region, requests are routed to the closest endpoint, the data still only lives in one location. To clarify by way of

What is what so expensive?

Yes, that is a possibility. SNI will also become a more realistic option as older devices get retired. I've implemented several sites with SNI, and as long as you're aware of what devices/browsers/OSes will be connecting

It's not an issue with multiple IP addresses, but rather with being able to host multiple SSL-enabled domains on a single IP (which is what CDNs need to do). That is where SNI[1] comes in, along with all of its compatibility issues w

No, that is the release you need to use to remove the PS from the chassis. You can see the two latches it moves on the right side of the case, a cm or two from the back.

I just checked with Linode support, and their backup pricing will be adjusted to match with the old rates as well. So if you’ve been paying $5/month for backup service, your price will stay the same post-migration.

That is why fail2ban allows you to configure a whitelisted IP (your office, VPN, etc.) that will never get banned.

I like the KISS aspect of this, though for accountability purposes, I prefer each user to have their own account. One correction for you: the sshd_config lines should have no "=" symbol.
