Unlike Elastic IPs, Brightbox Cloud IPs can be mapped directly to load balancers, so you can avoid the SPoF that way (load balancers are highly-available, across zones): http://brightbox.com/#load_balancers But we also have some other upc

NAT-style floating IPs have other benefits though. Putting multiple IPs on a cloud server is a mistake imo (it makes them less cloud-like :) - it's not usually needed, and you lose the benefits of having the IPs at a different layer.

because NAT-style floating IPs have many benefits. See my other comments for details!

Yes, but it does it without actually needing to configure additional IPs on that server. Which means your cloud servers can be identically configured, which means you can move Cloud IPs between them with ease, and you can clone them with ea

It's the case for many "floating ip" style systems, like EC2 and Openstack too. NAT-based floating IP style systems have some great benefits, in particular that the cloud server itself doesn't need to know anything about them. So you can mo

The same concept could be added to any "floating" IP style platform though, like Openstack or Amazon EC2. Shouldn't be hard to add it to Openstack at any rate!

imo, I don't think Debian and Ubuntu should do this - it's not really their job. Distros should, for the most part, just be packaging upstream code and not maintaining an unofficial fork. Though counter to this, RedHat basically maintain th

They should build without much modification - it just needs a bit of effort to setup a repository and do the builds. If there is demand for it, we could look at doing it.

It is very clear he wanted to be left alone. It is hugely egotistical to think that your article would be the one he'd need to know about. The one he'd be happy to comment on. I think that's what this is really about - getting some kind

Won't somebody think of the children! If you think something is unethical, as rms does with proprietary software, why would that change if it puts people out of work? He still thinks it's unethical. He ties it up with a false dichotomy: eit

I'm not disagreeing with your other points, but Stallman did not wish anyone dead. He actually said nobody deserves to die, but we sometimes deserve the end of their bad influence.

I don't know if he's being too harsh on himself or not, but this kind of public apology feels like a good thing to me. It's a bit of a clean-slate. A great starting point for fixing the problems. Too many people are quick to be defensive, s
