Probably just an oversight, but I find it odd their (ZeroSSL) site does not use a certificate issued by their own CA, it is instead one of CloudFlare's SNI certificates.

Nuclear was perhaps the correct option 20 years ago. A nuclear power plant can easily take a decade to build (Hinkley C, announced 2010, approved 2016, generation expected 2025), how many decades will it take to build enough plants to repla

I've personally switched to using Ubuntu 20.04 on my desktop, and honestly the switch has been uninteresting - which is a good thing. Works perfectly as a software engineering environment. I know it has been controversial in the Linux

The tooling right now is pretty much directly exposing the underlying netlink api, so can seem a little clunky. wg-quick does go someway to making it more userfriendly. WireGuard has been very pro-active at adopting useful abstractions, per

I'd personally prefer to be greeted with a screen providing me with the option of multiple DNS-over-HTTPS providers, and the option of not using one at all, than being silently forced into handing CloudFlare even more of my data.

I second Wireguard, I've been using it recently instead of an overlay network in Kubernetes (configured as a kubenet). Incredibly easy to set up and very performant.

Let me see your anecdote with another, growing up in Scotland I had the exact opposite experience. Depending on the area and interaction, you'll find Scots. Formal encounters are most certainly conducted in English with the odd Scots w

The Ambassador is based on the Morris Oxford, a British car from the 1950s, and I am fascinated that they never felt any pressure to update the design (although if I recall correctly in the early 2000s they replaced the original British Mot

It should be noted that this ruling is related to the predecessor (DRIPA) to the current Investigator Powers Act (IPA), however it sets a precedent for the IPA to be challenged. The ECJ has agreed with the British High Court's previous

This is a conscious decision. I believe the reasoning was readability. Ternary operators have a habit of being used in some really nasty nesting. https://golang.org/doc/faq#Does_Go_have_a_ternary_form

Putting aside this repositories root privilege requirements and lack of documentation on locking down the honeypot, I cannot stress how bad an idea running a honeypot inside a container is. Containers are an isolation mechanism, not a secur

Earlier this year, Seagate were showing off their 60 TB SSD[1] for release next year. So 100 TB in a single drive isn't too far off. EDIT: Toshiba is teasing a 100 TB SSD concept, potentially for 2018 [2] [1] 11th August - http:/

May I ask why not? I feel OpenVZ gets a bad rap simply because of the "pop up" VPS providers who oversell and under-provision. It is a mature, maintained containerisation system. Yes it still requires kernel patches (created befor

Generally this should be managed by configuration management (Chef, Puppet et al), which makes key additions and revocations trivial. Additionally OpenSSH supports CA signing of public keys with user metadata, which I've found to pair

Correct. My view is that Scotland CAN veto, but Westminster can override that veto. It creates a brilliant scenario for Scottish politicians, particularly those who seek independence; by vetoing they gain the support of their constituents w

No mention of what technology is backing the service, however I like the support for existing file transfer protocols (particularly SFTP), no need to wait for or build yourself an integration, existing tooling just works.
