yup, something like spamd for ssh could be cool.. But evolving to crack other usernames and other ports is not so easy, and there's not even any incentive to do that yet. " If your goal is to prevent your logs from being filled with crap, t

" in other words, pointless. It might stop some of the "log spam".. " You kind-of contradicted yourself in four words there.. Afaik, it stops the most common "attacks", the automated drive-by password-guessing attacks. Far from pointless.

They lost me when they started to shift "everything" towards mobile a while back, maybe 3 years ago. Do they still focus a lot on mobile? And what's the deal with CouchDB vs. CouchBase?

At the core, dependencies are a good thing, although there's downsides to that as well. I have no experience with desktop app stores, but you wouldn't get Gnome and similar large and complex software from one, would you? Which makes your co

Yeah, but you can log-in with private keys instead of passwords, so that problem was solved a long time ago.

Hm, can somebody explain what threat two-factor ssh-login is a response to? If somebody went through the trouble of owning your machine, can't they bypass the two-factor as well? Yes, it requires a more "live" and target attack, but one wou

It's still a symbiosis, and it's up to us as the consumers to penalize this type of behavior. When we don't, we indirectly support it. For example, I wonder why anyone would put up with the logo-censoring "police" after paying (I assume) a

Not even stand-alone players? My first one ever, a mid-range blue-ray player works fine. Other than that, I agree. Btw, the open source players (vlc, mplayer etc.) have been the best software players out there for the last decade.

Great point! But stop reading when you come to the examples, they just derail the whole thing and everyone forgets what the original point was. " ..the urge is to respond "Martin Luther King? A criminal? No he wasn't! You take that back!" T

The problem with SOAP + WDSL was just that it was overly complex and, in my experience, never worked cross-platform & cross-language. And since it was so complex it was "¤%& impossible to debug at lower levels. Argh! I hate soap wit

I'm not GP, but I run Debian on an old MacBook (06 or 07 model I believe) and it's doing fine. It's also more than fast enough for my use, even the 3d effects in kde4 run fine. The battery-life is (a little? a lot?) better in OS X, but I fi

I mostly work on desktop/laptop systems in a workstation setting. Do you think BSD is a good choice for such platforms, or is it strictly a server thing? Guess it depends on you're hardware and what you want to do. I boot FreeBSD on my de

See for example [2] which is a post from a Xfce developer on why XFCE had to drop support for the BSD's. It seems like you can run XFCE on BSD, but some features are not supported.. That said, their about page isn't entirely honest, it sh

So if that entity wants, they can boot you off and pretend to be you. They could shut you down, but I don't think they could pretend to be you since they don't have your private key..

Just FYI, Trello can be much more than a task-list-tool. It can be.. whatever. It's extremely flexible. We used it for a system design, and the lists are not todo's. One list lists all the database tables for example, but we're still experi

Source? Or anything to show that this should be trusted? And even if the post is correct and they actually are testing out an run-php-on-the-jvm solution, it's not the same as moving all their stuff onto it.

Couldn't lower pricing be seen as marketing? For example to sell in to companies that are now poor, but could be successful and profitable later. If they can't afford SD and pick something else, how likely is it they'll switch to SD later?
