Cool, thanks for the history, that all makes a lot of sense. I didn't find anything that hard to read about the article, it's just blatantly anti-intel.

Setting up a mail server is somewhat intricate as admins added hurdles to cut spam. This was on HN a while back and is good stuff https://www.c0ffee.net/blog/mail-server-guide SPF, DKIM, DMARC all need to be set up.

Does anyone know the history behind the author and intel? He does interesting stories but sounds like he really has an axe to grind :)

Out of curiosity, are there any readers of this site that rune SUSE in prod? My understanding is it is more of a force in the EU, I've known some desktop users of it (good KDE integration), but I've never encountered it in my wor

Sorry, wasn't the intent. It did appear we were going to make progress in the discussion at points but now is clearly two people with cemented viewpoints.

I understand all of your points. I also understand the business of a company like Netgate. Their primary condition is that you don't take their work, modify it, and still call it pfSense. That's not any different than RedHat o

No, that's not at all what TFA says lol. You'll fit right in with HBSD and OPN crew :)

The first sentence in the article should be a bell-ringer "Too often the defense community makes the mistake of focusing on the what, without truly understanding the why." These are context sensitive things that aren't learne

Sorry, you didn't bother reading the link so you may consult Google if you are interested.

I'm no fan of php, but you realize the home routers you recommended earlier typically have CGI UIs written in _C_ by people that don't really understand strings and pointers?

The comparison is cherry picked cargo cult. ASLR and a lot of these mitigations were obsolete when HBSD implemented them https://www.endgame.com/blog/technical-blog/rop-dying-and-yo... . Their ASLR try was reject

The thread is too deep to reply direct, but you appear to be more or less agreeing. There are low powered x86 systems at that price point. pfSense has offered a software upgrade path for over a decade, and takes security advisories seriou

Say you have a single static IP at a small office and need to set up a network of systems behind a NAT with DHCP, and maybe a few PAT forwarding rules to a server. It would basically take the time to burn a USB stick and boot it, and 30 mi

If you read this site you are probably well above the target audience in terms of skill. By numbers, I'd guess small/mid size business IT personnel dwarf the higher end multi-tier {dev,eng,ops,sre,sec} of tech companies. And the

As someone with extensive experience and nuance in the FreeBSD community, I will just say that OPNsense and closely affiliated HardenedBSD are basically unintentionally hilarious clown projects. They created some bad blood with particular

I've worked on TCP full time for a couple years and have to say, the more I learn the more WiFi intimidates the heck out of me. I'm barely smart enough to work on wired connections, and think RF DSP is largely beyond my faculties

I wonder what percent of this is related to the current media climate and technology enabling a more relentlessly global perspective and world view. There is the unhealthy war between the media and Trump. Trump sloughs it off, the media l

The UIs were part of Fishworks which became the ZFS Storage Appliance. A more fair question would be, why hasn't your storage appliance vendor (like Pure Storage, EMC or whatever) implemented the UIs (and maybe they have?). As others

It will be fairly amusing to see this in a Billions dollar product line like NetApp or Dell EMC Isilon. I can't find any photos of Rick Macklem's setup but it was developed in a fairly.. steampunk fashion.. on several obsolete i38

As the oxidize projects continue to land this email will become more and more obsolete. There's simply no way for C++ to compete with Rust, and while there will be continued utility pledge() is pretty quaint versus memory safety.

This looks really nice! I learned Scala primarily to use the Play Framework which is a fabulous way to build large web applications. This looks spiritually quite similar, but with the advantages of Rust.

This is kind of a scatterbrained article, it doesn't tie in mainframes in a meaningful way. The CDC 6600 and IBM 7030 Strech would have been a better starting point for supers. The S/360 mainframe was primarily a business line o

I work on operating systems, which is similarly niche (but probably overall easier to learn and low risk vs fabbing ASICs) an it is very bi-modal. Sr. circuit designers can write their ticket, but you have a lot of warm bodies surrounding

One stark flailure of the Altera acquisition is there has been little by way of tool chain integration. This is a CPU with a bag on the side, and that bag needs people that write HDL and understand computer architecture to make good use of

Indeed, and even pretty weak vs Wikipedia. I'm on the lookout for some obscure stuff. Older versions of OS/400, AIX, MP-RAS etc. Not even sure where to look.

The PR is written a bit ambiguously, is the Gentoo based container Linux going to be maintained or will it move to EL/Fedora?

Limelight is primarily Chelsio with a long tail of Intel. I chose Chelsio over Mellanox because I like their drivers more, but both are top shelf NICs. One thing to note on topic, we developed a driver framework called 'iflib' in
