There is a diminishing return of what percentage you save, sure. But amazon will always be at that edge. They already have amortized the equipment, labour, administration, electricity, storage, cooling, etc. They also already have support

Most people (in the world) hadn't been on the internet in 2000 when the dot-com crash happened. Barely half the US population was even online at that point. We're probably nowhere near the peak of AI ability or usage, but that d

This is true, but the Russians have demonstrated that combining this with jamming they can make this still possible (along with other tricks). Obviously there's going to be some back and forth movement via countermeasures and updates,

Shit, you're right. I blame the time change.

Also, the Russians have been playing around with rebroadcasting legit signals with slight delays as well. The Ukraine war has been a very interesting time to observe these tricks.

GPS (as well as most satellite) signals are weak because it's strong enough for line of sight even from so far away. They only transmit at 25W. Comparatively, an FM/TV signal will often broadcast at tens of thousands of watts an

GPS signals are relatively low power (American GPS broadcasts at 25 watts and the signal is a tiny fraction of a mW at sea level). In theory, it's easy to pump out noise over it, especially the civilian frequencies that Iran would in t

Pre-AMD acquisition ATI also often had better hardware specs than NVIDIA, but their drivers were so often buggy and terrible. By the time they'd been fixed the reviews were long since done on the initial release versions. AMD seems to

That's something I haven't seen in awhile! I remember as a kid staring at those in the store, not being able to afford them.

Yeah, that makes sense as well. The french ads come to me in waves and I can see lazy advertisers just "targeting quebec" or "all french regions" for the french runs.

I'm a little confused - I didn't say that? I said that a lot of the circuits meant for IP still had to use (digital) protocols designed for voice.

All the early metropolitan or long-haul fiber (mostly SONET) networks were digital aggregations of various circuit-modes (DS*) in those days. It made sense since the phone network was pretty much the only long haul network around and even t

Or gaming. I never got good at quake because of it. IIRC they added hardware compression to the later versions (I think starting at 33.6?) that added latency, too.

Ha! My mom worked as a build engineer at BNR (later Nortel) in the 1990s and we got a free 2nd phone line for her to dial into work (99% used by me and my brother for internet). She could have gotten ISDN had it been available in our small

Agreed. Over the past 2 years so many subreddits have devolved into what can be best described as doom scrolling ragebait, which is what reddit wants because it keeps eyeballs going for advertisers. My city's subreddit when from &quot

IPSec was far too complicated, loosely defined, and over-engineered to have ever been widely accepted. Any host verification would need to involve application level verification anyways to make sure the other end is who you expect. So you

Modern TCP/IP stacks have a lot of extra code, including for anti-spoofing, performance enhancements (eg zero-copy integration with hardware network cards), various attack prevention measures (SYN floods, randomization of sequence numb

Agreed. If you're using tags for anything other than final releases off of main/master (or other release branches that are supposed to be permanent), you've gone down a very bad path.

RFC6177 specifically recommends a /48 to /56 because future security measures may require subnetting, even on home networks (eg having IoT devices on a secure DMZ). Basically, giving out a /64 is the modern equivalent to ISPs

by hylaride 2y ago
Strictly speaking, it's perfectly standard and you can subdivide it (manually). However, for a variety of reasons subnetting smaller than a /64 is difficult and not supported at all via SLAAC (because the host portion is derived

SLAAC is awesome, but DNS support in it didn't show up until much later. The result is a mish-mash of DHCPv6/SLAAC support (and android famously doesn't support DHCPv6 at all and windows only supported DHCPv6 until windows 1

I'd like to agree with you, but IPv6 had such a classic case of suffocation by committee during its birth that I doubt it would have been pushed by such a situation. IPSec was mandated in the original IPv6 RFC, for god's sake. T

Last I checked there's no native swarm equivalent in podman. Your best bet is nomad (much simpler than k8s if you want to spin some local setups) or kubernetes.

The fact that a decade previously in 2011, Hanes had been found to push a bunch of questionable loans, was fired, but then a year later was back in as president shows that he probably just got greedy.

It's a classic example of a long-term trust network getting breached, in this case by a trusted local that got in over their head. The bank was created to provide loans to locals, mostly farmers where everybody knew how farm loans wor

Similarly, in general the best interviews I've ever been part of (either giving or being) turn into discussions where people's experience, opinions, and stories get aired (going both ways). You eventually get a good sense of each
