I feel the need to push back on this perspective. Old doesn't imply arcane. It instead can (and does, in this case) mean that it won out over the course of decades against other less worthy alternatives. Although you can write "pr

The CGNAT space (100.64.0.0/10) is also free real estate for container virtual/overlay networks when you don't want to (or can't, thanks to IT) use the RFC-1918 subnets.

If the router is also the modem, it can have diagnostic stuff that could (I am careful to point out: theoretically) cause them a big support headache in one way or another. Also, I had a DSL modem back in the day with its own terrible NAT b

Even in the face of all the advice on reddit and HN that says never to host your own mail server, I have been doing so successfully for at least 15 years. It helps that I have had the same spam-free IP address for most of that time. All I e

DeskMate in 1988 came with my family's first computer, a Tandy 2000 TX. One of the first mainstream consumer PCs with a 3.5" disk drive. (We had to later buy a 5.25" drive in order to share software--er, I mean data--with our

I wonder if we are starting to see a generational gap in how we consume media. When I was growing up, there was no "media experience," you just turned on the TV, selected your channel, and there was your show. Or your turned on th

Which is why these kinds of ultimatums NEED to be fought against, and aggressively. There ought to be NO room for any government to tell an open source project which features they must--or cannot--implement. Allowing this sort of thing is h

It sure is nice to see that Mozilla is still doing all that they can to keep on top of current trends, except developing a decent privacy-focused web browser for developers and power users.

"Unalterable" is a matter of some debate... The physical pits and lands are on a super thin layer of aluminum. Ideally, this is protected with a laquer coating, but a lot of CD manufacturers in the 90s and 00s skimped on this to s

I honestly didn't know you could buy less than 1mg. I started with 5mg arbitrarily because that seemed to be the most common dosage sold at the time. I think about lowering the dosage sometimes but at the end of the day, I know 5mg wor

Many otherwise open-source chat apps are "open-core," they tie certain features to a subscription. Can be things like chat history, voice calls, video calls, but a very popular one is SSO and AD/LDAP integration.
