As an industry, we are bad at deprecating old protocols like IPv4. This is a genius hack for a problem we have due to IPv6 not being adopted widely enough so that serving legacy IP users becomes a dropable liability to the business. The ROI

What kills each of these occasionally popping up alternative messengers for me is the lack of usage by my actual social network. As long as people use WhatsApp, I will have to use it, too. And since I got everyone there, why install another

OTOH, it is a nicely hidden subsidy for the train operators. Because for every ticket sold, they get to claim a certain amount from the federal government. Luckily it is capped (per ticket) otherwise who knows what they would claim Some say

FWIW: I find that a well-sized challenge and some minor suffering in overcoming it provides me with meaning, resulting in happiness. All other happiness I experience can be traced back to spending time with friends, spending time in nature,

This Axios „article“ is the written version of a TikTok session, in an ironic turn of events. The bite sized information and the excessive use of bullet points is designed to keep readers engaged in a world driven by ultra short attention s

You learn large scale system design via real world application, being in the room when it happens, and from closely working with folks who are already practicing it. This kind of work is sometimes as much art as it is science, highly specif

To more impactful convey they information, keep not only the audience in mind, but also how their brains will process that information. Then tailor content to make it easy for the receiving entity (brain) to process the information and stor

AT&T, a mobile carrier, explicitly asked their customers to stream a game. They brought online a game from the Warner Brothers catalog just for that, using the same technology. So I am not sure of the bandwidth argument holds for all mo

Professional tools to get the job done, like they are used in any halfway decent repair shop. The author seems to confuse right to repair with sloppy, microwave-utilizing home repairs using a $20 kit from ebay. What a badly faithed clickbai

Nostalgic! I used LapLink a lot back in the days. When Ethernet became affordable I was baffled by the speed of data transfer. Lightning fast! Written from a mobile phone with 5G. Tell me about exponential growth.

Like the idea. But… 1) Claim privacy first and then have a cookie banner. 2) Say “routing” when you mean location/IP based DNS. 3) Is that a loosely typed language in the scripting engine? Not sure I would want DNS queries to be relyin

I went through the same journey some years ago. Now sharing my ASN 57821 with friends. We use OpenBSD for edge routing validate RPKI as well. My motivation was that I couldn’t get IPv6 otherwise. So I ended up with an ASN, v4 and v6 address

I always liked Caddy for its simple config and automation around TLS certificate management. I hope it doesn’t go down the path of feature bloat. Markdown rendering seems innocent enough, but what will be next?

This. Bonus points for hitting the outdoors with friends. Deep talks don’t happen drunk, but sober and walking/hiking. Drunk “deep talk” is mostly previously suppressed feelings (learn to express them sober) and kitchen sink philosophy
