I think some of this rant is invalid. If you look at the portable versions of their products they tend to ship a chunk of the OpenBSD library implementation with them to give consistency guarantees. Perhaps we need a consistent OpenBSD plat

OTPs and number stations can't be cracked mathematically and the channel is secure as long as the receiving end doesn't let the pad get into bad hands (this is achieved by compartmental communications and code words on top). I wou

Haven't looked at render script yet. Still scratching head on the layout engine stuff and View infrastructure. It's fugly. I usually write C#+WPF and C++/Qt and HTML/Java EE and all of those are massively nicer to deal w

This. I can't see myself using Gradle any time soon. Literally everything I've touched is maven only and I don't want to learn another DSL on top of yet another language.

I wrote a lot of J2ME stuff a few years ago and you're spot on. I spent two weeks doing Java 8 bits with NetBeans which was really nice and spent the last two evenings writing my first Android app and what a complete mess it is. Plus t

That pisses me off but the following is much worse. The commit comment that goes: "checked in abstract_class.cpp" Duh!

Someone forgot to renew the SSL certificate again.

The following "Blob" song and notes explain why they don't do it: http://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#39 And I agree with it entirely :)

It won't on full SoC devices but most ARM embedded devices of that sort have all sorts of peripherals which are bus connected so the bus will need to be external.

I've been using it since 2.4 as well but the progress is remarkable considering the team size and funding. Progress for me is the replacement of non-BSD licensed parts and top notch re-engineering of the old rusty bits as well as hardw

Embedded devices are likely to be 32-bit for a very long time yet. I'd consider 100+ years to be a reasonable number! 64-bit devices are much more complicated (bus size, peripherals, part count) and therefore more expensive. If your en

Indeed. I get worried when I see people deploying new embedded ARM systems these days to replace systems that are 30 years old when there is only 24 years to 2038...

I'm increasingly impressed with the progress that OpenBSD is making. They're hitting some real problems on the head and actually letting us know what the changes are in a concise form as they always have. Compare this to a Ubuntu

That's standard practice and what they're paid to do!

Yes! I had to extract some data (in 1997!) off a DOS payroll package written in about 1985 that ran on an IBM 286. It was churning away quite happily. It seemed a bit like a 3270 terminal style application so I assume it was inspired by som

It seems to work ok over a PPTP VPN for RDP purposes. Not sure if our remote end forces a different MTU or not. I remember someone doing some work on this to get Vodafone to not drop the connection. I haven't tried it past that much. I

Doesn't that depend on what's connected to stdin?

Interesting! I'm on a Moto G on giffgaff in the UK and data is 100% free and unlimited (within some vague definition of "fair use"). They shoot your network access for 30 minutes if they find you tethering because it's a

I already have a thing called "all seeing eye" that picks up on things like this on a pre-commit script in SVN and tells people to go away if they do something stupid. It's done some wonderful work so far.

Enough warnings. People should have got their shit together by now.

We don't still use it - gone to Linode. At 4x the base price it's still a better deal especially now they have SSDs. I'd use bigv.io for BSD

Agree. The last company I worked for used salesforce, email and excel to manage a 1 million line enterprise behemoth. Without much hesitation as I was employed to fix the company, with zero budget we fired up trac and integrated it with AD

The page they hit to launch it uses flash as well. The thing is a giant turd. We're currently rewriting it.

Versus click the bookmark to your droplet list or linode list? Or do your service maintenance via ssh on the box?

Unfortunately I'm not joking. They have 2500 workstations running something written in Adobe Air so no banana with removing flash.

Neat but do people really play with their VMs often enough for things like this to have value. I rarely touch any once they're up.
