These days, I get most of my entertainment online and store my code repositories and other permanent data on a home server. I wouldn't know how to fill 128GB on a laptop.

IMHO, the original title reflects the tone and content of the article. I didn't feel cheated when I clicked on it, so I don't really consider it linkbait.

I agree. Micro USB was not an improvement over Mini USB. I've never had a Mini USB cable go bad, but easily a third or more of Micro USB cables I've owned are faulty, with barely any stress. Also, Mini USB cables were a huge impro

I was trying to put my purchase in context. At that time, I had been locked in a 2 year contract that only got me as far as Android 2.1, which was already obsolete by the time the carrier (AT&T) finally allowed me to update from 1.6. So

Because that's what I was using (and leaving) at the time. The Galaxy S III was the leading contender, in fact, but my negative experiences with Android 1.6 and 2.1 (from bad to worse) factored against it. I later supported an S3 for a

At least in the US, consumer choice is significantly limited by the carriers, so I'm not convinced that sales are very brand-driven. Even the same model might use completely different hardware in the US than the rest of the world. I bo

I can afford any phone I want, but I hated my (2.1) Android and couldn't read any text on the (iOS 6) iPhone even with my glasses on, so I bought a Nokia Lumia 920 with WP8. So far, I have no regrets, although the decision might have b

This software has been written without any concern for security, and it listens on the network by default. This dawned on me when I intended to switch over to FIOS due to problems with my cable internet connection. I moved all of my media

From the article: Certificates bind a public key and an identity (commonly a DNS name) together. ...when issuing certificates a CA validates ownership of a domain by sending an email, or looking for a specially formed page on the site.

The space bar also can't be used to advance the content (in the three browsers I tried). I've been seeing this a lot lately in blogs and it's quite frustrating!

It's a smokescreen. If you were running a version of OpenSSL that supported the HEARTBEAT extension (patched or not) it's easy enough to determine whether or not it was vulnerable, simply by running the exploit code. Any theoretic

I don't buy it. Cul-de-sacs experience less crime, fewer traffic accidents and are very conducive to taking safe leisurely walks. The problem is that some neighborhoods don't provide efficient pathways for practical pedestrian tra

Now imagine that the local news outlet displayed a list of addresses of the homes than can be easily opened without a key. That's closer to what happened here. The disclosure was irresponsible. He could have contacted each site owner i

You might want to reconsider this approach. I do something similar, but my remote backup also uses rdiff-backup. While it's awfully tempting to rsync the local backup to a remote location, it puts your entire backup at risk because rsy

I moved all of my domains from GoDaddy to Namecheap. I host my own DNS. Recently, I decided to take a stab at implementing DNSSEC, but one condition is that your registrar must support it[1], and Namecheap doesn't[2]. I'm in no ru

EncFS in reverse mode with rdiff-backup would pretty much be ideal, but EncFS currently has two bugs that prevent this from working. Does anyone know what this refers to? It sounds like a winning combination to me.

Priority should be given to making mod_python compile for Apache httpd 2.4, so applications stuck on httpd 2.2/Python 2 can be migrated. This is likely to generate the strongest initial interest. Dropping support for Python 2 would int

I (somewhat) disagree. Every machine should have a unique hostname that has nothing to do with its function. It should be in DNS and should be the name you use to remotely manage it. Descriptive names should also be assigned in DNS as fun

SSL/TLS is entirely a server/client exchange that has absolutely nothing to do with IP addresses. If you get the wrong certificate, you have either a crappy client, a crappy server, a misconfigured client, or a misconfigured ser

Why start with the interview? Try to find the job listing and submit a resume. Then ask yourself if that was a good use of your time. This part of the process is horribly broken for a lot of employers and they don't even know it.

One of the reasons they originally chose PowerDNS was that "it seamlessly allowed us to add new records without rebooting." Can someone explain? What DNS server requires a reboot (or even restart) instead of a simple reload?

I have several, but I didn't know Androids had offline Maps capability. Also, is it possible to use GPS without an active cellphone account with a carrier?

People get way too offended by analytics tracking when it's there for their benefit. While I agree with the rest of your comment, isn't it possible that analytics is just snake oil for webmasters? The third party services like G

I've used iptables as a lightweight IDS for years without incident, so I've found the benefits to outweigh any known risks. The most dramatic example I have is that I manage a very heavy database-driven web application from an out

You don't even have to compare the keys. If they exist at all, they are probably copied from the image itself. The first time you start up sshd, it will create new keys. If you are unable to witness this, assume that they are not trust

I just added two iPhone 5s to my AT&T family plan, and I regret it. They use up their data allotment in about 4 days, even if they never leave the home wifi, so I insist that the cellular data is kept off and only enabled when needed. M

If you do your homework, a house can be: - A big piggybank. - A safe, stable living environment for your family. - A way to get a quality education for your children at a bargain price. - Tweakable in a way no rental can ever be. Home owner

Personally, I'd rather see content delivered in a sane standard format and let users apply stylesheets that match their own preferences or needs.
