So it's not just me. I asked for a license to do pkgsrc package building on QNX, got rejected, and couldn't even get a human to respond to my messages with anything that didn't resemble a copied-and-pasted form response. They

You forget that big companies will gladly offer shit to their customers, but then will offer something better to those who are willing to pay more (id est, governments. Why make things more secure for everyone if not doing that can make mor

Add to this that the only true deterrent to any company these days is the loss of money, and we have a pretty air tight case here. If Apple were seen to be subverting privacy at all, they'd lose literally tens of billions of dollars

This has a ring of the same arguments made by flat Earthers. You could offer to take one to near space and show them things, but then every other one will stop believing that one person, so you're expected that unless you can take all

Why would you, or anyone, ever compare a line of Intel machines with a line of machines that have a vastly different architecture and power usage? It'd be like comparing Lamborghini's tractors and cars and asking if the tractors w

I was a fan of the Cyrix line of processors when I first started playing with free Unixes like NetBSD. They didn't have the bugs of the early Pentiums, were worlds more affordable, and have very respectable integer performance, which i

I'm not surprised about this at all. In spite of having plenty of actually decent products and good demand, the company has a history of acting shady and caring more about perceived appearance than about doing the right thing. For inst

Nobody should be allowed to be a cop if they can't discern whether it's more important to "control" someone than it is to possibly kill them.

So... don't trust long lived ssh keys, but trust Cloudflare's CA. Why? What has Cloudflare done to earn trust? If that alone weren't reason enough to dismiss this, the article has marketing BS throughout. For instance, "

Geekbench really should not be used to compare CPUs like this. Geekbench seems to be geared towards comparing mainstream machines / devices with other mainstream machines / devices. There are many, many applications for which perf

Have you tried it? ;) TLS on a 33 MHz m68030 is passable. Since the i80486 should be closer in performance to the m68040, negotiation could take place inside of the timeout that many servers would have. In some ways it would be a good rate

It's neat to see how people have been able to collect and save all sorts of information about older chipsets which makes projects like this possible. I've often wondered about how to re-solve certain problems now that we have deca

I can't think about the Pilot ACE without thinking about the not much later Jupiter Ace, which was named after the Pilot. Interestingly, the first more challenging program I wrote as a child was a prime counting program. Although I wan

That doesn't mean that's universal, particularly for those of us who remember 64 bit CPUs before x86-64. I'd even wager that very young people stopped associating it with x86 at all since all x86 CPUs, save some Intel holdout

Do you have a source about "Piracy Shield"?

Companies like Google and Cloudflare just really don't care that they host malicious content and have stopped taking meaningful action to take down reported content. That they'd be blocked at some point is completely unsurprising.

Anything can be a server if it's set up to serve, so the distinction isn't useful here. Many people, educational organizations, companies, corporations, et cetera bought machines which have a desktop form factor which were used as

I've had several discussions that were literally along the lines of, "we don't see what you're talking about in our logs". Yes, you don't - traffic is blocked before it gets to your servers!

There are ways to do this transparently if you control the machine doing NAT for the classic computer. Doing things that way used to be more common before https became the default for most sites, because nowadays you'd have to install

Try manually adding "https" on to it. It was blocked for me, too, without https (and very slow with https). Yes, putting rate limiting that's much slower than humans and CAPTCHAs that discriminate on to their abuse reporting

It's not surprising that Cloudflare both thinks it has no obligation to do anything to protect property owners, even when the infringement is blatant, and is also fighting an order from a court. They see themselves as above the law, as

Embracing ignorance is a trait of masculinity? Ok. That's a plausible evaluation. The author links to a piece about how "it's harder to be a man than a woman", which basically asserts (I'm generalizing liberally) th
