   Not that there is anything particularly wrong with this, but I find it silly that one should make such customization on their box just to prevent _one_ potential malware hazard. There are hundred other ways that an infected machine can be a

   Sorry to disagree with a lot of posts here. >At the most basic level, when firing up a new server I follow the how to harden your server guides and install fail2ban, disable root login, enable ssh only login etc. This is simply wrong. Th

   FYI, one of the most popular routing protocols (used in internal networks) is OSPF[1], which is based on Dijkstra's algorithm. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Shortest_Path_First

   For comparison, latency between Eastern Europe and their Frankfurt DC is about 5 times less than with the London one (25ms vs 125ms).

   I was referring to public networks as well. I should be able to do HTTP GET to my server if I choose to do so. In the same way as I can open a socket to my server and write plain text to it.

   Simply banning any kind of legacy protocol is not exactly in good spirit. People should have freedom of choice when it comes to running THEIR OWN infrastructure.

    Exactly. Its been available for a while now on most distros, I even used it on some legacy AIX systems running Korn shell. Btw, the reason why this works even if you dont see anything in /dev/tcp is because when you try to open a

    As far as I can see this was posted on 2nd of April, so its actually almost 2 weeks notice. Thats not much either, but still a lot better than 2 days.

    Idk, 6gb seems excessive. I'd prefer a small footprint system (eg, my centos VM images take 1GB after installation), and to do the tweaking during installation.

    Surprised to see a tutorial on Arch linux on front page. As a sys admin, I appreciate the effort to tune everything to your needs, and Arch has its place there for sure. As a user, I just want things to work. So I usually stay away from twe

    Exactly. I would help me a lot to understand what they are aiming for, especially because I'm not a native English speaker.

    The only thing I find linkedin useful for these days is to keep an eye on open positions related to my field. Besides, I dont know anyone that uses LinkedIn and actually likes it. Lets face it, its completely horrible for many reasons: - Re

    Looks cool but the 'About' part might be 'too much' for the average Joe. I'd put it in layman terms if I were you, maybe make a simple diagram...etc

    While I understand that the author is just trying to be helpful, the provocative title of the article makes me want to scream: "Stop telling me which tool is right for MY job."

    Well I was about try out Amazon but then I saw they don't have a Linux client... so I'm sticking with Dropbox for now.

    would the huge increase in heat in such burning buildings hinder the usability of a Doppler radar? I would guess so, as different temperature should mean different speed of sound.

    I suppose you could always come up with some script that recreates the whole VPS and thus get a new IP address... but that makes it overly complicated for most people.

    Depends who you ask, I suppose - I come from sysadmin world so none of these are obscure for me. So I'd say they are mainly less popular with the 'average Joe' user base. Judging by the screenshots, the author seems to be com

    So now we wait for somebody to come up with a way to fake ratings on Shazam (eg, by using a botnet) and watch a mediocre artist become a sensation? :)

    I find it a bit amusing that we used to build systems like this in the first place. There was no unused code because there was no _shared code_ , no libraries ,etc. You only used what you needed. Then we worked our way up to the 'commo

    I just skimmed thru the list and found dozens of very interesting stories that I missed, mainly because I haven't been with HN for that long. Looks like I have some catching up to do tonight :) thanks a lot!
