I intentionally avoid clicking on the first link when it's an ad, I don't care if it's relevant or not. Yes, it's very scummy. I also use DDG as my primary and only resort to Google when absolutely necessary - and even t

That would work IMO, yes. An interrupted session isn't a big deal if it's an infrequent occurrence and they can just login again. I think an improved solution in this vein would be a tool that would let you sanity check the config

Offline license signing is a solved problem, Sophos for one has figured this out with the way they license their UTM product. When they give you a license file, it's cryptographically signed with their GPG key, and the public key resid

My experiences are very different. Many Linux services have a concept of reloading. If the config file changes you can send the running program a signal and it will re read the config. This is very useful for production systems. Tableau (9

At my last couple jobs there was actually a running joke that any time someone updated their LinkedIn profile it was because they were looking for another job. It seemed to actually be mostly true. I work in tech.

If you have a support agreement with them then file a ticket requesting better customer communication and link back here as an example of how to do it right. I think everyone complains in forums and online but doesn't actually file tic

I'd like to learn more about these blacklists so I can factor that in when choosing a vendor, do you have a link? Google is just showing me pages of vendors trying to sell me hosting when I search.

I think that effort would be better spent encouraging (see Forcing) ISPs to start dropping forged traffic at their borders. IMO there should be significant penalties for network operators who do not drop obviously I forged traffic. How long

I'm with you. I'm there to make the software better. But the company is there to make money, and improving the software sadly doesn't always make more money. For me, I fill the need of writing better software by working on Fo

IMO you don't get to shed decades worth of reputation because you made a few good moves in the open source world. For me at least, such a company would have to spend as much or more time pushing this new open idea than they did pushing

This post covers everything except the cost. The cost will vary from region to region and country to country, but it would have been nice to get a ballpark figure for what this cost.

As you can see from other comments here, the Netflix UI is quite bad. This is a list of categories that many people feel the UI hides from them, in that they're hard to find. If you use Netflix on your computer you can use this list to

From an armchair, it seems like it's a good idea to distribute a virtual server farm on multiple providers (Linode, AWS, et al). There's even libraries available to abstract away the provider layer, like libcloud. However, IME it&
