   I run Shorewall on Debian hosted on top of xen on a dual core Atom. This is for my home. I dont think I would run that at an office though.l

   True, that is a good point.

   The dual core atom from the 2010 era is a strange beast. True it idles at less than 4 watts, but the chipset they were paired with draw 15 watts or so. My estimates for my power usage are: Chipset/motherboard: 15 watts CPU: 6 wat

   I was somewhat being facetious. The difference of idle and load on the Atom is just a handful of watts. Completely nil when compared to my (older) desktop which is about 120 at idle and if you do some number crunching on GPU and CPU, the dr

   I think most Americans pay between $0.20 and $0.40 per kWh. I am lucky though that here it is only $0.06. But in summer months it goes to $0.14 for every kWh over 600. Staying under 1000 kwh's a month is hard to do.

   And the word 'watt' is no where in the article. I'd be curious to the yearly power costs. I've been the eying the Lenovo Thinkserver TS-140: http://amzn.com/B00FE2G79C with a Xeon E3-1225v3. Some comment

    I could write pages on the "company's problems" but I don't feel like it. The "reporting" database was my idea and my attempt to actually be able to do sometime "cool" there. The java software devs, e

    All the money was flowing to IBM licenses. Hence when we needed another database for reporting, we went with open source. Vertica is big money++ And really, after my stint with that company, I really can't stand commercialized licensed

    In defense of the "Performance Considerations" against postgres, I worked on a team that had a BI guy that regularly wrote giant multi page queries using WITH statements. The main database was IBM DB2 9.7 on RHEL and it had about

    Interesting. I'd never thought about the potential issues with HTTP/2 being only HTTPS based. Though seems that self signed certs could still be used or is that disallowed?

    by esaym 11y ago

    You missed my point. I am speaking of squid caching, which won't normally work with HTTPS.
15. 885.▲
    by esaym 11y ago

    Yes, I'll be setting that up soon. But if the cert is truly bad from the website, there doesn't seem to really be an easy way to check it since squid either outright accepts it or just rejects it depending on the config.

    I figured I'd get that response. How about this, what are you trying to be so "private" over? Is it legal or moral? Is it perhaps that web browsing and privacy are simply always going to be mutually exclusive, akin to walking

    Yes, it is an issue. And worse, the web has become something so important that you can't just outright deny all access to it. Yet it is still akin to dropping your child off on the wrong side of town unattended and simply "hoping

    I am not sure how I feel about the general HTTPS-ization of the web. I've used squid ( http://www.squid-cache.org/ ) and dansguardian ( http://dansguardian.org/ ) for nearly 15 years now. It greatly speeds

    This usually messes stuff up pretty good: perl -e '$file = '/dev/sda';\ $s = -s $file;\ $i = $s/2;\ while(--$i > 0){\ $r = int rand($s);\ system("dd if=/dev/urandom of=$file

    And filling a 30" screen with 200 character code lines because 80 character limits were only for the 800x600 days isn't good utilization either.

    I really don't have any idea what you are talking about.. Are you talking about something like this: $hash_of_hash = { hash1 => {key1 => 'value1'}, hash2 => {key1 => 'value1'} }; say $has

    There are plenty of Perl5 users that have never liked the idea of "Perl6" and swear that they will never use it. That is just one of the reasons why Perl6 took awhile to release. It was not made by the Perl5 community, it was&#x2F

    I think the problem is when you finally do need to move, and you owe 200k still but will only be able sell the house for 150k. You'll still be making mortgage payments on a house you won't even have then.

    I can't really find details on how this works. I assume the merchant still receives USD in the transaction along with the typical Visa card transaction fees. Which in that case, what is the point?

    I plan on doing something like this for my kids as they get older. I already randomly watch open courseware type stuff offered from various universities and I've always noticed they have decent seeming English and Math sections too. So
