Yep. Sadly, the only way to be one hundred percent sure your data is private is to keep it in your head. Even building your own chipsets and other components doesn't protect from physical access. So we have to choose who to trust. Curr

I don't think it's impossible. Can't you intercept the traffic via a router or something to see what's in it? "...what they'll say..." They already said that in their privacy policy. I was wondering if the

Have you run into any articles that detail exactly what is captured and sent off of your computer? Has Microsoft release more than just a little bit of information on what they use that info for? Not just what the setting screen and privacy

A couple days for a conference. From what I've read in this topic and elsewhere, the cost of living is very high. I'd rather not live in a city with as much of a chance of an earthquake as SF has. Living in a known disaster area j

I wish people would do that. I know when I see jobs that interest me, they're almost always in SF or NYC. Neither location is somewhere I'd flourish. Seriously, what is the actual appeal of SF? I just don't see it.

If I were hosting an app that wouldn't require upgrading to up to date versions of whatever language it runs on, and I didn't want to upgrade the OS for 10 years or so, I'd look at CentOS. But with how rapidly PHP/Ruby&#

Heh. It's been long enough since I tried that I don't remember. Hence the lack of details in my post. I do remember that I had planned on fully switching to Debian (it seemed odd to me to use a distro based on Debian instead of ju

As a sysadmin I've used SLES, CentOS, and Ubuntu on my servers. As far as getting what I need to do done, Ubuntu wins every time. I have played with Debian on virtualbox vm's a bit, but it's never "just worked" for

Having had to clean up after "end users" a couple times, I certainly prefer to have the IT department have the final say. What kind of "i's" and "t's" are you referring to as a bad thing?

Not just a support contract. MoodleRooms ( http://www.moodlerooms.com/ ) was acquired by Blackboard a while back. They provide fully managed Moodle hosting. They provide a decent enough service. I certainly like not having to

When I first started using Ansible, the fact that you replied directly to many of my Google Group posts was what really sold me on it. So, from a users perspective, the time you spent on that was well spent. Thanks for that! Ansible has sav

Depending on the issues effected, I'd shut off comments/issues until the social media storm is over. If it's a longer term issue, then throw up a Discourse/forum instance somewhere and close any effected issues with a co

I think Kibana 4 is a node app, right? Like lmz says, you have to write a script to tell it to start at boot. I ended up using Monit for that, but if I didn't know about Monit, I'd end up having to write a custom init script. Oh,

We're deploying several tomcat apps at work. Each of them have to have apache in front to proxy from 80/443 to 8080/8443. We tried to get jcvs(or whatever it's called) working, and it did not work. Thus, deploying java a

Why would any site agree to pay for faster connections when there are competitors that don't force them to pay? Just make a note on your site saying that ISP A slows us down because we won't pay them their ransom. Then the user wo
