iirc its not (simply because there is no oss baseband) but they went through great lengths to isolate the basebands chips from the rest of the phone. Greatly neutralising the threat the it can pose. In normal phone designs the baseband has

If Amazon doesn't want to pay for your product they are not going to. They will just (re)implement it themselves with a compatible API. Even if MongoDB was a proprietary product with an Oracle-style pricelist Amazon still would have do

I think it looks pretty cool! It probably competes more with Phabricator then GitHub and GitLab. Though I think its also different from GitHub and GitLab in the sense that its fully open source and can be hosted on your own server. Sure Git

Since its just about content in Saudi Arabia (ie. it doesn't affect you if your not in Saudi Arabia) I don't get what all the fuzz is about. It was also on local Dutch news sites. Sure censorship is bad but I bet far worse things

Well the hack had a really low entry barrier. As in; no hardware modifications needed. You could just download an ISO from the net and you were good to go with your unmodified Dreamcast. In contrast the other consoles in that era Xbox, Play

We are run our Triton / SmartOS nodes mostly on SuperMicro hosts. I have never encountered hardware compatibly issues. Do you recall what issues you bumped into? Might save me some potential headaches / pitfalls in the future ;-)

We've been running our private cloud on Triton / SmartOS with Packer and Terraform for a while now and for us its really working well. I do think however that Triton / SmartOS works best when used in a true cloud native fashi

Since the exploit in question requires non default settings which most people won't use this part is actually far scarier: > P.S. I recommend setting net.inet.ip.maxfragsperpacket to 0 to prepare for what's coming next.

I've said it before (so at the risk of annoying people ;-) I can highly recommend Zulip. We briefly used Mattermost (couple of months) before realising the Zulip threading model was a way better fit for us then what Mattermost offered.
