the fact that environmental issues are a burden to a society instead of a company in itself is already a problem. Many companies make huge profits because the enviromental impact of their work is an externiality, and they do not carry that

this is the old issue of dev and ops having different goals in terms of their jobs. Ops wants stability because uptime and a non disrupting service is paramount, devs want velocity because they need to push new features to market. It's

to be fair, freebsd had something like docker for decades. Jails have existed for a long time and are easy to use.

you could also look into (older) enterprise equipment. Aruba AP's can be had quite cheaply, and they have an integrated controller aswell.

udp over tcp seems like a terrible idea in terms of performance. Heck, running a VPN tunnel over TCP itself is already weird, considering the protocols inside the tunnel handle dropped packets if they need to. It would just result in more i

can you not tweak this keepalive parameter? i know ipsec has a ton of knobs in regards to keepalive, but i wonder if openvpn also supports such fine grained configuration.

ipsec is complex because it can be used in a LOT of situations. can wireguard do tunnel state detection? Can i do a hub and spoke topology with wireguard? or auto-vpn? ipsec is complex because it is mainly designed as a tunnel protocol with

by kazen44 7y ago
mind you ipsec in AH mode does NOT encrypt packets. ESP (and thus tunneling) is required for packet level encryption. your encapsulation argument still holds true however.

Also, many Europeans are far less market driven then most people in the US seem to be. A lot of people work in public sectors, where innovations happens but its simply not put to market, because the entire sector is not part of a traditiona

to be honest, most routers like this have very low power usage. I think an edgerouter X has a power consumption of something like 5W under load.

this is the "proper" answer. Seperating routing from providing wireless makes things far more flexible, not to mention you usually get two seperate devices which are far better at doing their sperate jobs compared to an all in one

$50 is incredibly cheap for a home-router (which also is a wireless access point, a switch and a firewall). Prosumer or enterprise grade hardware is usually magnitudes more expensive. An edgerouter X is $50 for instance, but doesn't h

is this not the result of there being very little ideological differences between MBA graduates? I would even attribute this to a lack of ideological differences in (US) society as a whole. Economic and managerial schools only seem to teach

this highly depends on what kind of ethics and culture your goverment has compared to what facebook has.

but this is exactly what is happening to people not from the US. People in SF board rooms deciding what is in our news feeds, and now the same company is arrogantly declaring it wants to play with currency too.

I agree with this comment. Also, i think it shows a major difference in the way of doing bussiness and between the economic models most used in european countries vs the USA. Most notably the idea of a much more cooperative economy vs the h

we have digital euro's? the fact that it is a physical note or a database record does not matter for fiscal policy. ever used a digital system to transfer money? like ideal, bancontact or giropay or just plain SEPA?

but why should it be up to a company like facebook? What inherent right does facebook have to create a currency. The only reason it is able to do so in the first place is because of the legal framework and protections that exist thanks to t

because the german example is tied to the currency used by germany (and the eurozone as a whole).

why would people want to use libra? Especially if the currency is declared illegal to use inside the EU/Eurozone. Let's not forget that the euro is a stable currency compared to most other markets libra wants to compete in (the de

this is very true. Also, the US has a corporate structure which is brutal in terms of competition. (and it has a less equal society as a result).

One of the supposed reasons for this is the relation between labour and product prices. Before WW2, labour was far cheaper then materials, especially in Europe.

this is exactly what an oppressive government wants. as long as people are able to discuss politics with their friends, they have a outlet to vent without being able to actually form political resistance.
