Radio spectrum is "owned" by the federal government and leased or sold to private entities at auction. While you can use ISM/UNII bands ("free"/open) spectrum (and there are GSM base stations that run in 900Mhz

Adding higher gain antennas without decreasing transmit power is a common way for people to exceed authorized transmit power. The regulatory theory was that by using a "uncommon" connector only people who know to decrease transmi

There's a big difference in how they use the available power. WISP-type equipment generally uses very directional antennas so the available power is used more efficiently. A laptop and a home WiFi router are like people talking in a cr

I don't really see why this is NYT-worthy. State paper, sure, but NYT? This isn't particularly groundbreaking. There are existing regional sci/edu networks doing 100G as well as field-specific networks (e.g. ESnet).

The entire article reads as a thinly veiled diss on Zed by someone that (badly) skimmed LCTHW. Things like: 1. Griping about format strings not being explained until it's necessary to understand them even though it's suggested tha

Just turned 30 and by the time I heard it s/Black/Bad/ happened so it was only violent and sexist. I heard it from a older professor in my early 20's and was quite shocked that it was a thing, but I remembered it.

Charter is generally better-behaved than TWC--less peering congestion, better customer service in general, etc. If Charter cleans house I'd expect a pretty big improvement in service quality for TWC customers. $WORK is a customer &

We bother with TLS for accessing online banking because we don't manually build site-to-site VPNs between our house and our bank, unlike hospitals which have dedicated IT staff, a ton of security appliances of all types and, if they

That already happens to some degree, but the point of aggregation is from local police to county sheriff and is primarily driven by economic concerns. In my area towns with less than 10k residents have been outsourcing policing to the count

The thing about Observium is the feature set happens to select for a unusual number of unskilled+entitled+whiny users. Observium's niche is user-friendly software for comprehensive monitoring of networks (and some server/appliance

That's actually pretty big apples and oranges, not including the difference between a relatively static VM and on-demand instances (GCE, EC2). It's OpenVZ, not KVM so you're getting a container, not a VM. That might be better

AFAIK that would require the vendor to actually access/use these "backdoors" (though they look like debug access mistakenly left enabled). I don't see any proof of access in TFA. Seems like this would be negligence at mo

Lately there are two ways I see MDUs providing internet outside of the normal cable/telco ROE arrangement (in my market) that work around that pushback: 1) Low-income housing with a up front grant from .gov for 512kbps or so per tenant

That makes sense, especially for getting started. Have you considered ways to guide people to narrowing down their location? We store shapefiles (I'm doing GeoJSON in RethinkDB but same difference) for every census tract that we cover

ISPs have to submit coverage data to the FCC (Form 477) twice a year. This data goes down to the census tract level which is generally far more specific than a ZIP Code. I'm not sure why they aren't using the more detailed informa

This sort of thing happens everywhere. Grain dryers, wastewater treatment plants, etc. You get industry-specific vendors that believe their solution is opaque to anyone that hasn't received their specific training and they run loose. T

Or, it is keeping with it by saying that the logical place to be searched is a acceptable description. That seems appropriate for a logical entity (or at least one where the physicality of it is transient and irrelevant).

There are people that believe that's already happened. The Waco & Ruby Ridge incidents of the 90s fueled the "government out to get you" mindset and started people talking about "not letting it happen again". An

Oddly enough some OSI protocols live on at the foundation of IP networks in the form of CLNS & IS-IS. IS-IS is a internal routing protocol sometimes used instead of OSPF.
