It's nice that they are clear, now: No Red Hat unless you pay them for it. If you pay them for it, you can't redistribute it.

In Hollywood -- and Netflix is definitely Hollywood now -- nobody knows anything. William Goldman said it. If they could invest in only the hits, they would. If they could reliably improve their customers' happiness with their service,

Oh, for cable modems? No, there's no cable-modem-on-a-card. You should be able to get straight DOCSIS-to-ethernet bridges, assuming your cable ISP will permit them on-net. Arris CM9200, e.g., is DOCSIS3.1 to 2.5G ethernet.

Your question seems to be presupposing a bunch of things. If you run the standard installer from a vanilla USB image, you will be asked questions about the config, most of which produce reasonable results if you just hit <enter>. Some

You missed a fun bit here: "What about "Baltimore"? That's short for Baltimore Technologies, a now-defunct infosec company, who acquired GTE's certificate authority subsidiary (named CyberTrust) in 2000, which they

Programming is the reification of making decisions -- plus a lot of shiny fashionable chrome. That is, most of it is about thoroughly understanding the meaning of a process, and getting it right. LLMs don't understand meanings at all.

It turns out that humans are very bad at noting the absence of a signal. Computers, on the other hand, are perfectly happy to use an expired timer to generate mail, a dashboard icon, or any other shout for attention that you please -- as lo

You get some data throughput increases by increasing areal density and number of platters -- the days of counting on 100-120MB/s from a spinner are now replaced by checking to see whether you get 220-280MB/s -- but you should not

Cheap. I mean, expensive by the standards of 1994, but -- inevitable comparison inbound -- a Raspberry Pi 4 has more CPU, more IOPS, more storage, and more RAM than many a 1994 small-ISP Usenet server. And modern Linux is a heck of a lot ni
