First, do you have a link to documentation for this ability? Second, "any competent sysadmin" would have to know that this exists. Super Micro's security team didn't know this existed, or if they did, they failed to ment

In a nutshell, the problem is this. I don't know whether this has changed, but this was true as of 2018 / 2019. Most of their motherboards have IPMI with a separate a management port. A good number of them share IPMI management wi

I can finally have 85 characters by 48 characters on my Sinclair ZX81, and it'd be printable, too, on my T/S 2040 printer. (starts thinking in Z80...)

This is the kind of thinking that makes me happy. Too often people are conditioned to believe new is good, old is bad, we shouldn't support or even maintain old (which is why 32 bit x86 support is starting to disappear). We should stri

It'd be nice if they gave a damn about security. I had clients stop buying them because a glaring security problem was determined to be "not an issue" that they wouldn't fix. It's one thing to say they wouldn't

Yes, Wordpress is attacked incessantly. It's designed to be actively hostile to security, so yes, a firewall that helps ameliorate is a good thing. However, if you really care about Wordpress security, a WAF is just covering things up,

Some of the first Hackintoshes, and the origin of the term "Hackintosh", were from the practice of putting Mac motherboards in to non-Mac cases, often using non-Mac hardware. For instance, "Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secr

If you try to find evidence that Cloudflare mitigates fraud and abuse, you'll mostly find anecdotal evidence (sites that have been attacked and moved to Cloudflare, mostly) plus information and claims provided by Cloudflare, which is u

You wrote, "then the states stole the term" as though religions own the idea. Religions shouldn't dictate law, and where they don't, whether you can get married in a church means nothing. That's how it should be, un

They excel in sucking so much that people are afraid to move away and continue to pay $100 a year or more to just register a domain with "features" that aren't of use to anyone.

They are an incredibly shitty company. As late as last year, and possibly even now, they were STILL charging extra if you wanted to use TLS connections for email. Otherwise, they're more than happy to allow connections with passwords o

Maybe they should build an unorthodox web server, which these days seems to be one that's self hosted, instead of trying to use a weak Digitalocean instance. I bet the machine mentioned in the article could host this site, even with Xe

I think you're looking at the problem with some incorrect assumptions. First, Amazon wants us to believe that people who can run things in AWS are just too dumb to be admins. I think they want this to be the case. After all, programmer

This is like matching a bitfield on the group ID on a Unix system. I could see someone coming up with this idea, and I could see them thinking this is somehow smart, but implementing it on systems that aren't 100% in your control would

For years I've had this impression that Intel CPUs were, to put it simply, trying too hard. I administer servers for various companies, and some use Intel even though I generally recommend AMD or non-x86. A pattern I've noticed is

I like that people are using new tools to not only preserve but improve things from the past. One note, though, is that it'd be really nice if people stopped trying to save bandwidth by chopping audio bitrates so much. I don't eve

This is nice. I like this, and I like how responsive it is. It does illustrate a common issue with doing anything at all with Amazon: search manipulation. You can't search on Amazon for, say, 32 gigs while specifying either one 32 gig
