Where did they find such a crappy font for body? SimHei for Latin letters looks absolutely horrendous with disabled font blurring. They advise you not to blur, yet require blurring for comfortable reading? How ironic!

I used to be fond of requiring high speed internet access in the hotels. I gave up, upgraded to Unlimited 4G on my T-Mobile line, and don't worry about these things anymore. Problem solved! :-) Unfortunately, you're very unlikely

Yes, there is still a net migration to California, and tax increases are unlikely to just kill it, but it is also revealing how many bigger businesses are relocating to elsewhere, like Texas or Tennessee. Both Google and Apple has lots of H

Nowadays, I often find ordns.he.net to be quite useful. HE.net is getting to be a pretty big carrier nowadays, and they generally have better latency and locality than other resolvers. Will never use 8.8.8.8 ever again.

What agwa wants from LibreSSL is to behave in every little bit exactly as OpenSSL does, even though OpenSSL itself is a complete and utter mess. OpenSSL allowed developers to interfere with RNG freely, so LibreSSL must do that, too? [E

If RedHat or Oracle needs FIPS, they should be the ones who are supporting it, not the rest of the unpaid open-source volunteers. I'm pretty sure that OpenBSD, Debian, Slackware, Arch Linux and many others don't care about support
