I'd expect that if a trojan were to be inserted that it will probably want access to all interfaces. I would take extra care at your hardrive interface, USB interface and Ethernet interface. I'd look for JTAG connectors on the boa

Not sure this plausible. You'd need clarity to all the sourced parts and entire supply chain and logistical chain. Then complete oversight over the assembly and logistics. I'm guessing that backdoors are really inserted at the fir

This will require you to weigh the risks. While I like the approach, you'll have to trust your gut. You're gut is going to have to say that MGMT will believe the cost of replacing Jerry < the cost of replacing you irregardless

Normally I'm for this, but this seems to be a valid discussion for HN. I rarely upvote, but I did this time.

I use to work in situations where we had to account for failures. We had lab equipment that would just run all that time, and with terrible wiring and we were horrible to it too. We left covers off, piled stuff on top of it and just Franken

It's maddening, maddening I tell you.

I consistently find myself in similar situations. I've found some sites drop characters after a certain limit. Some sites only allowing numbers and letters. It's truly maddening that these people are just awful. I wish there were

My thoughts, exactly. I'd spread them out, over a few locations but one is a personal and the other is small one for a couple sites that we host.

Hmm not sure if it's related but I can't get on stackoverflow either at the moment. It might be a NYC networking issue? Aren't they located there?

I didn't realize that they had one. I would've looked there but I'm actually on vacation, so I'm not really wanting to `dive in` at the moment.

I'm not sure.. that wasn't even there when I looked. We had an alarm go off for our sites that are hosted there.

I've been wanting to give Flask a trial. This just wraps this up in goodness that I'd also like to try :-) Thanks for posting.

If you're going to run Arch then you should really stick with being comfortable with the CLI. There's no telling when something will break the upstream GUI packages, or something wont load on boot and you're stuck in single

Why wouldn't you use the package manager that your distro comes with?

I think I used MusicBrainz before. It worked pretty well but I had a bunch of one off MP3's that were a single band/song that it just botched. So now when I go through I find artists that I have no clue who they are, and I listen

Have you run this on Debian? I see they offer an ubuntu package, and a few RPM packages.

On slightly related topic, has anyone found some good Linux based tools to clean up your MP3 Library metadata?

I'm also with you. I rarely have sound on, actually at the moment there seems to be a bug with my sound. I don't plan to investigate it. I strongly dislike video content.

I've worked with contractors that own have built web applications for the government.[1] Sadly this par for the course with respect to the scalability and usability of these sites. These teams are typically only concerned about follo

<rant> Ugh this just makes me sad. I want to move to Portland next summer, and I've been watching for jobs in Portland. Right now I don't see any jobs but I keep seeing more, and more jobs in DC. I hate DC, I want out! <&
