I guess the same as people have always done. You have more server rooms on ideally different networks and grids. That can be a rented room/ rack in a bigger DC, your own if you have a big factory with subsidiaries etc. The IAM etc. wil

Could you please elaborate, what were some of the major blockers for you? In some cases, you can "just" add a reverse proxy in front of the legacy services or use some kind of NAT64/ DNS64 setup on the server side. Internal s

More than 40 years later it can seem so. But with these you were basically able to just check the first byte, perhaps it was an optimization of some sort. Reserving ~1/8 of the available address space for other use cases or future need

I bet it costs a fraction of what a similarly powerful mainframe would cost. However I don't think the customers for each overlap that much. If you need a mainframe, you need one and there is no discussion about possible alternatives b

Oxide seems to be a lot more efficient than a rack full of 1U servers with each having 2 PSUs + 2 ToR switches + 1 management switch somewhere for all the OOBMs. All those little fans and power conversions eat a lot of power, the fans and t

What surprises me is, why they went with the harder to cool 1U nodes and 10 SSDs/2x100Gb NICs instead of 2U nodes with 24 SSDs/2x200 or even 400Gb NICs. They could remove the network bottleneck and save on power thanks to larger,

Btw. Hetzner charges 1.19 €/ TB or so if you exceed the 20 TB you get even with the 4.5 €/ month VM. So obviously, AWS is charging disproportionately compared to what it actually costs to deliver that bandwidth/ traffic. Thes

Sure, that is already better than the average. If you feel your gums are healthy and teeth are clean sure, keep going as you are. It is different in each country, but usually a dental hygienist has a slightly different viewpoint than a dent

It seems interdental brushes are a kind of flossing brushes perhaps? It is quite important to use the right size(s) of interdental brushes - that can be measured at your dental hygiene appointment. I am quite lucky I can get by with two dis

How do you brush your interdental spaces with the miswak? If you don't physically brush or floss them, how can they be clean? Do your dentists x-ray your teeth? It could help a bit if you eat sugar-free diet but unless you mechanically

There is no particular reason it should be 2 minutes. Certainly not for both jaws, if you took 2 minutes per jaw that would be more reasonable. The point of this timer is probably (I don't know that for a fact) to push most people to b

If you brush for only 2 minutes, I strongly suggest to make an appointment with a respected dental hygienist as soon as possible as you are almost guaranteed to have an insufficient dental hygiene. Best case with a good electric toothbrush
