I'd hate to think of the legal implications of hosting information the government deems confidential, within the United States. I imagine there will be some fallout over this for people mirroring in the US.

Nice looking service. I'm not sure it's something I'd use but I could see it being used. One thing to look out for is spammers. I find that the most of spam that I get on paste site I run is deplorable link spam for illegal content. I'm not

I get your reasoning about ASCII/TCP and it makes sense... apples to apples. When asking for a performance benchmark, specifically about systems that are very dependent on communication protocol for performance, I think that it's more valua

memcached's ASCII protocol is known to be slower and less effective than the binary protocol and using TCP for memcached is slower than using UDP. It's not a fair assertion that redis is faster than memcached when you're picking the slowest

Is this an official site of the project or someone just running their code on a new domain? The DNS registration doesn't even come close to the joindiaspora.com domain. Seems there's at least a few sites like this: http://trydiaspora.com

They're already way late to the market with a music social network. IMO they should have got it right from the get-go. Startup rules are also different than giant corporation with bundles of cash. With built-in market-share for conversion,

I pretty much had the same experience. For comparison I found Muse had a stream on Ping so I checked it compared to their Twitter account. Ping's stream for them was sanitized and small. It was not personal and I assume it didn't tell me an

Where's the source of the 2nd graph being wrong? It's labeled as billions and the article mentions "This year, retirement benefits—more than $6 billion—will exceed what the state is spending on higher education." That statement is in agreem

I looked at deploying it very recently, but it has a little bit to go. They guys at Northscale are very responsive and have replicated my issue. I'm hoping they have a solution in the near future. The admin UI is nice, real time stats are g

I own both a Kindle and an iPad and have used both for reading books. I prefer reading on the Kindle because of the eInk screen, weight of the device and the orientation of the buttons. I do find the iPad has a much more engaging screen an

I was still impacted by this yesterday and was surprised they couldn't mitigate the attack better. I like Posterous as a platform but am concerned about keeping my stuff there at this point.

While it seems your comment is flamebait, it is true that many of the proprietary hardware appliance platforms I've run across are FreeBSD. Surprisingly, I'm seeing more and more Linux in said devices too.

This is great, thanks, I've already implemented at http://status.currencyconnect.com and am working on integration with other pieces. Do you have any suggestions on how to best run a private instance of this for internal use only?

That's great that they offered you a replacement. No such luck here, even sent them a photo of the case and the damage.

I mainly use lists to export the people I follow into carefully packaged categories. I usually just tune in and tune out to the stream and miss vast amounts of tweets.
