I hate to say it, but this is just a rant by a RedHat/CentOS admin who has started using Debian/Ubuntu for the first time and just doesn't know why things are done differently there.

So, I have been doing network engineering and sysadmin kind of stuff since the 90s. I remember when Cisco bought the PIX firewalls from Network Translation around 95/96. Cisco has killed competition here by paying out the other compan

I've set up my own home security monitoring in the past using a camera, Zoneminder, and other tools. Zoneminder is not that great, and I would love to have a packaged commercial solution which isn't too locked down from it's

It should be noted that MIUI is also a rampant GPL violator. They have taken a lot of open source stuff under the GPL, among other licenses, and closed it off or even claimed as their own. This probably isn't shocking given the article. ht

I would strongly recommend tmux over screen to anyone, if it is available on your platform. Screen's development is basically dead. Tmux is under active development, and the developers are responsive and intelligent. Tmux is sudo safe, whe

/opt is basically for 3rd parties to install software, because they can't be trusted to behave and integrate with the regular filesystem. The last thing you want is Oracle farking around with anything under /usr or /var, because they will

I have an Ecobee thermostat in my condo, which I am currently in the process of selling. Young people are usually pretty excited about seeing it in action, but older people are actually turned off. My guess is they see it as another complic

I am still toting around a Nexus One, and finally going to get a new phone. I've been looking at both the HTC One and the Samsung S4. The S4 has the huge advantages of having an SDcard slot (up to 64GB) and a replaceable battery. The HTC On

I have been blocking 3rd party cookies for years. The only site that has ever had a problem was my local power company (aps.com). However, it was easy to get around because even though their site warned that 3rd party cookies were required

I worked in the game industry between 2000 and 2006, mostly on MMO titles. This is a simple supply and demand problem. There is a HUGE supply of young males who want to work in the gaming industry, and the customer demand for games of the q

This is a case of everyone behaving badly and it turning into an ulgy fight. Who's side do you choose? None of the above. Watch, learn, but stay the hell out of it.

The grey 'n baldy club at the Fed decided to shake their cane at Bitcoin and inadvertently made all the online gaming companies (EA, Valve, Ubisoft, Zynga) crap their pants in unison.

I doubt the authors were smart enough to think of this, and I don't think most people here have really thought of this yet. The online gaming industry is going to be very interested in this once they realize the potential impacts. In the c

Some time in 2007 I went to an Apple event in Scottsdale Arizona. I am a network engineer/system administrator, and my organization was about 50/50 Mac/Windows. We spend somewhere between $200-600K a year on Apple products for employees. I
