I'd volunteer to do it, if they paid for hardware, colo and transportation for initial install. After things settle down, it takes no more than half an hour or so every month. Pretending to know how much work something is when it'

It only seems like that to people who don't know any better. Do you ACTUALLY think you can communicate with people at Amazon who truly know what's going on? If so, why do we see countless stories about people who have problems wit

Surely you know what colocation is, don't you? Suggesting someone has to build a datacenter for it is like saying that programming is time consuming because people have to write their own compilers. If someone asked me to do this, I&#x

Half a petabyte in storage and 3 TB transfer a day? Shit. That's nothing, unless you're "saving money by using the cloud". While I feel for them, they put themselves in this position. Even when someone gives you somethin

This is pretty rich coming from companies like NVIDIA and Google, both having histories of releasing barely portable, if even portable at all, code. While I can compile and run ArcticFox on my AlphaServer with zero work, I dare anyone to tr

You mean authorities can't just invalidate our Fourth Amendment rights because they feel like it? Who'd have imagined?

I'm always fascinated by the supercomputers of the past. Sometimes we forget that the literally fastest computers in the world 40 years ago have the performance of a $20 NanoPi Neo (four cores, 200 MFLOPS/core, 345 or so milliamps

It's a shame that AWS can be used to do this and they'll either do nothing or take their sweet time doing anything, and half the time they reply saying that the abuse is no longer happening from the reported IPs (because they&#x27

Just use two A records for the one DNS name, and let the clients choose. The other way is to have two names, like dl1 and dl2, and have your download web page offer alternating links, depending on how the downloads are handled. You very rar

Sure :) I'm running tinc on NetBSD. Starting with how it works and physical setup, you have tinc running, attached to a tap interface, bridged to an ethernet interface. The ethernet interface is configured on your LAN to route (not NAT

If price is a consideration, you might consider two 10 TB hard drives on machines on two home gbps Internet connections. It's highly unlikely that both would go down at the same time, unless they were in the same area, on the same ISP.

Many years ago, Fry's Electronics had a close-out on 2014 era mini-ITX AMD AM1 motherboards and CPUs (less than $50 for motherboard, CPU, heat sink and fan). I've been using them, with suitably small cases, as NAT / router &#

How is it abuse? Think about it - something is turned on for you by default, without asking you, which sends all of your DNS lookups to some third party (Cloudflare), which we have no reason to trust (rather, we have plenty of reasons to no

This is exactly what Cloudflare wants - they want us to blindly "trust" them with our DNS lookups, even though they've prioritized paying scammers over doing the right thing for years.

DoH only increases privacy if the DoH provider is demonstrably more honest and privacy concerned than the network you're on. Mozilla defaults to Cloudflare, and Cloudflare are deceptive, disingenuous, and scammer friendly. Plus, many o

People who don't use and who don't understand the differences between tape and disk have been saying tape is dying for years. The most common incorrect assertion is that drives don't fail THAT often, so why not just back up t

Come on, Ars - stop dumbing things down so much that we think you're dumb, too. "Crypto" refers to cryptography. Cryptocurrency is another thing entirely.

For the BSDs and Linux, microcode updates can be loaded by the OS. What about Windows? Are microcode updates made available via Windows, or only via BIOS updates if the system manufacturer decides to make updates? If the latter, what do peo

That can't work because Google does content-based filtering. They blame the forwarder for any spam or anything forwarded that's spam-like, and there's no way to designate a source as a legitimate (that is, don't blame it

Not quite, but close. 12 megabytes is still much, much more than is easily explainable. Here is xclock on a 36 megabyte m68030, hosted on the same machine (so be patient). On the other hand, modern OSes do a pretty good job of hiding resour

Handwaving, along with no data. Also, you have zero idea about my volume or the volume of my clients. Also, you assert, again without data, that knowing a provider's criteria for acceptable email is what would justify the energy needed
