> "it's not free, part of it is free" That's news to me. Which part of Slack do you consider to be free software? Is that the part you think GDS is using?

by kees99 6y ago
I don't think capitalization matters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software In addition to not being free, Slack is also not software. It's a service. Sure, there's some software involved in making

Funny thing is - this is exactly what happens many millions times every single clock cycle inside pretty much any modern(-ish) digital CMOS CPU/ASIC, with the right-hand-side capacitor being parasitic gate capacitance in the driven gat

Yeah, with substantial amount of energy in that capacitor, that is exactly how you weld the contacts in that switch shut.

Given that "central" office expenses are taxed differently (more favorably) than payroll, it might make sense to pay "remote/wfh" office expense separately. That being said, how do you calculate the amount? Say, if

I think you're right on the money here. DNS-over-TLS uses port 853, so is trivial to block on a firewall and force fallback to plain-text DNS. DoH is resilient to such an attacker - be it sketchy guy in starbucks trying to steal your c

Piping output of an "rm -v" is an oddball, with all the possible stdio buffering, I agree. More real-life example fitting your model would be "start this long-running process and show me first 10 lines of output, just to make

Wouldn't it be better to be explicit? If intention is to "display first 10 lines, at most; discard the rest", you can write: rm -vrf directory/ | (head; cat >/dev/null)

You have a point there, but it's far, far from being so clear-cut. Privileged ports is a measure to guarantee that daemon listening there was started with root privileges. Which is a useful guarantee on a shared server, less so on a si

No idea why you are being downvoted, this is a solid advice. Masscan [1] claims to scan whole IPv4 Internet for a single port in 5 minutes. Moving to a random high port would increase scan time 64000-fold, to 7 months. You'd still be a
