I've been using Zerotier personally and professionally for some 10 years or more and as a network engineer I love the product, and have long recommended it. I've compared it to Tailscale, and while Tailscale has a lot more enterpr

You obviously don't know Bob Parsons that started godaddy, he was very much all of those things. I had the joys of working with the lunatic at godaddy as an early employee in the first few hundred when he was still active in the compan

Their Imperva WAF usually challenges me repeatedly during use trying to buy groceries from my pc, and most of the time I get tired of having to disable every security extension I use with Firefox to use Albertsons because of their shitty we

I deal with this fairly commonly, presumably because I use linux, and we all know only botnets use linux. Occasionally with cloudflare I'll just get summary rejection and supposed blocking of my IP, but either it's summary rejecti

They can't even keep the Indian workers happy. I've seen them wince when a hand was raised like they were to be slapped again and berated in their own language around others. This doesn't even get into their whole caste discr

Maybe not guaranteed, but still certainly creates a certain problem of deporting the parents when they can't the child, not to mention general sympathy of splitting families and such, and no one wants to be on the news for that.

Cognizant, Tata, Infosys, the list goes on, the all have been gaming the system for 30 years now to funnel people to the US like Mexican Coyoties. They're not in the game to hire US people, it's all about funneling as many Southea

The only one worth using is the o1 model. It feels like talking to curly, larry, or moe otherwise, which will give you the least worst answer. The o1 model was actually usable, but only to show how bad the others really are.

VMWare is/was the early on easy button for windoze-only admins and managers to have an eazy button for Linux virtual services without calling it Linux or having betray allegiances to Redmond like a dirty secret. It's usually the e

We wanted a cheaper cable bill when they were 100-150/mo usd, and as you said we got them in the form of all the media cartel services for $10-20/mo each + 50-150/mo internet data. It's still the same problem. Cable is n

These days it's automatic too, the episodes just show up on your hard drive as soon as they're released for whatever you subscribe to or put on your wanted list. If more people did that, maybe the media cartels will humble some.

This goes to show people are sick of having to buy 5-10 services just to see all their things, they'd rather get a single pirate stream with them all. Just if you watch US football, you have to subscribe to no less than 5 services to g

That way they can claim it's not just their scabbing up your data but it's a design feature in case you try to sue us to resell. For the betterment of humanity and such.

This could be easily summed up with a public poll with one question, "Would you switch ISP if you had a better option?" My thought is somewhere around 98% would say yes, if not 99 and some points.

Ok, so you upgraded the storage, but most of these as well use soldered memory too, not to mention a _lot_ of these ship with _only_ base 8gb of ram. I imagine they'll run out of ram at some point, when apple will deprecate even m1-3 &

I stopped social networking before twitter and facebook, never had the pleasure or sorrow. It's a conscious decision, you too can have solace avoiding some/all. My circle of close friends is small, quality over quantity and such.

You would think, but technology always finds a way to screw things up. Cox Communications has had ongoing issues with their video for weeks because of Juniper router upgrades and even the vendor can't fix it. They found this out AFTER

To get ads after paying subscription is simply nonsense, but people are beaten into submission to simply pay the tax, get less, all with a shrug like good cattle led to slaughter. I used to use adblock, sponsorblock, others, but still the y

Thanks for the tip with voip.ms! Interesting, usually most voip providers for what I would like require more than 1 user, hadn't really found anyone with all the features that would sell to an individual. I hadn't thought much abo

This is actually fairly terrifying, I have used google voice for around 15 years myself (since acquisition), and use it as my main inbound line for multiple numbers actually. After verizon screwed me too circa 2009, I treat cell phones like

Most of that is probably going to be funneled directly into GPU's, namely Nvidia, for now still, and so is networking for them with NVLink and NVSwitch switching.

But will a canned, defined api ever be good enough? As soon as someone paints a border, someone will step over it. It's the reason security products in windoze as well as anti-cheats require kernel-level access, and why outages like th

The problem is since Valve and Proton made windows games viable for Linux and the Steam Deck, most of that anti-cheat vermin does NOT work under Linux. Even if it did, if you run Linux, you likely take some objection to someone wanting to a

As soon as you read "outsourced their IT", one can always assume the aftermath would be a shitshow, as it is always done in response to the previous team not being able to run it, which means it is a goddamn mess. Having worked en

After 20 years of Linux, my only use for Windows is as a runtime engine for Visio and Project running in a VM. All I really ask for is a secure runtime with updates. What annoys me is when I start getting popups and ads in my start menu or
