Raid? Pah! Putting your main tablespaces on ramdrives makes them go like 300x faster!! Redundancy is for cowards, just like unit tests... </s>

That's totally correct, and I can't disagree with you.. If you architect things properly, then rebooting any one component shouldn't be a problem.. In such a case though, there is no need for this tool.. In practice, though,

We're in kind of uncharted territory here though -- for anyone under, what, 25? There has been an almost unlimited amount of instant gratification/indulgence a click or a swipe away that's ALWAYS been there for them. We'

So.... This is ksplice, then? It sounds hardcore, but this isn't really that complicated is it? Load a module with a patched function and then modify whatever the kernel equiv of the GOT/PLT is, and boom -- hotpatch... Right? Orac

Proper advice/education is really the only solution. We all know how ridiculous any attempts to censor the internet is to people with even a minimal amount of tech savvy, especially if gov.uk are involved... I mean, take the UK's

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSF82AwSDiU ^^ This really opened my eyes to this problem for me.. It's really rather worrying, and I guess my generation (early 30s) were the last to avoid this so it's kind of inv

Well, I've been using vi and it's brethren since about 2002 and I've pretty much always used the arrow keys; after some point it becomes muscle memory... I never really understood what the problem with this was; I rarely actu

Are you really asking the difference between the CA bundle and some node+redis+python startup being able to drop authorized_keys across your datacenter? ... eh?

The only thing I miss after switching Safari->FF (moved away from OSX) for regular browsing is that all 'incognito' tabs in safari are completely isolated from each other and share no cache, cookies, bla. This seems like a smal

But... But... Okay, there are a few things here.. I'm not trying to rant at the people behind this directly, there are a number of similar agent-based tools which have similar issues, so please don't take it personally... 1) If yo

Sorry to hijack this, but this is absurd. I really must have missed the story here -- people pay for a third party service to manage their private keys? ... Err. That's so illogical it's making my brain hurt to even work out why I

by cyberpunk 10y ago
Not really. Think of each key as, well, a key.. If you used the same key in every lock in your house, that might be ok... Sometimes, though, you need to be more careful -- the only motivation for using more than one is to limit the damage s

I disagree -- you really do need to; I tend to need to use ssh -A on my clients (jump boxes, etc) -- and the agent I will only have their key in it -- if one of the other staff with root on the bounce box, or an attacker, grabs my auth sock

An account that can only login on the local ptys is a good enough backup plan. The disk encryption doesn't buy you much in such an environment, though... Even with whole disk encryption if you're running virtualized; then your pro

As long as the key is password protected with a reasonable strength password (say, a sentence which you remember) then why not put them everywhere? I generally have a copy of my ~/.ssh copied to a few locations, and I'm not really

I've read a few of his works, and I pretty much enjoyed them; but I really have no idea what 'The Man in the High Castle' was all about. I got friendly with a few characters, reasonably adapted to the alternate reality and so

I'd really be less offended by this whole thing if every example wasn't about running gnome. This is the guy driving the userland for most of us? Doesn't he realise that no one gives a shit about Linux desktop apps? Sure ther

Urgh. It's a lecture from a desktop Linux Dev on what I'm supposed to want. As someone who runs stuff at stupid (not fb or google, but not tiny) scale, this just annoys me. He's right, in some ways.. But.. How many more layer

You don't evolve proper security though a million tiny commits. You design it. This is why containers on Linux will probably never have the security that Solaris or the BSDs have, and this attitude is why. It will never get better unti

Maybe I'm missing something but didn't we solve this problem already?

It's all about eye contact, real Londoners will go to incredible lengths to avoid any sort of interaction with strangers. When forced to, it'll be overly polite and with a certain mutual derision that's kind of hard to explai

As someone who has lived here for 6 years or so -- it is pretty rare to work with people who are actually from here -- the tech scene here is mostly people from outside london, or from somewhere in europe, or somewhere else... There's

As an operations dude (or, at least, a recovering one) I've spent much of my professional life fighting post-deploy issues at the coal face, which almost always involves (when it's an app issue) digging into the code; even when we
