Misleading title. It's a tutorial to setup HDFS with S3 and not a discussion on why you should move your billing database onto ephemeral storage (which was what I expected from the title).

IMHO you can skip most of this except #2. Key-only login is very important, blocking access with fail2ban not so much. But you definitely need to send your logs to another box so you got a copy (that is unreachable for the attacker) of the

If it was my e-mail provider (like, the one I manage, based in Germany) they could bloody try. We keep our mouths well shut until the day we're presented with a court order. And we already had some major abuse cases with foreign countr

If you haven't noticed (and American citizen sometimes are kinda ignorant in that way): "EU" is not a country. It can't do sh in this matter. It's like saying "OPEC won't protect this guy"...

Yes. Don't be "somebody"", just be yourself and work on improving a few skills plus get out of your comfort zone. Go to an acting class. Learn a new language. Go to a small, special cafe every day where the people after

I got an 2015 X1 carbon, too (used). I have dual boot with win10 and ubuntu xenial. Win10 was just for checking it out and occasionally remote server management (Juniper VPN/Junos Pulse is a nightmare on Linux). Ubuntu works great desp

That means if I am a pastafarian (Google it if you don't know it - and yes, at least in Germany it is a approved religion) I can't put a noodle riddle on my head (because it is religious clothing for pastafarians) - or can NOBODY,

I worry about TCP window scaling (and full TCP windows) when only using one TCP connection. There is a good reason download managers use multiple connections to download one file, because depending on the latency the maximum transfer rate i

I was thinking the same. Not only that, if you would add multiple networks that, for example, weigh the possibility that a full line is "good" code, and another that evaluates a whole block (like google deep mind did with AlphaGo)

The definition of thoughtcrime is that it is punishable to think something. There is not a single German law that punishes a thought (if you found one, please cite immediately because every German citizen can appeal in the Federal Constitut

"The German state" is a construct in form of a organization . The people who decide are forming the structure of this organization. The concrete people who are deciding who is punished are judges . As I already stated in this

I can't follow. How is this incident related to any genocide, dictatorship, erdogan... what? I have the feeling you are just cherry picking this to troll on and not interested in talking about the different dogmatics of legal systems.

I think a very important nuance here is that it is not enough to just tell other people to commit crimes against people from a religion/race/color/gender/..., it must be suitable (I have trouble translating here) to be e

I don't necessarily argue that everything is right because it is the law, I argue that THIS exact law is right. It might not be for you, but it is for me. And seemingly not only for.me, but for a lot of people in this country. Otherwis

If you could indicate using Nazi symbols and calling to arms and self justice is free speech I would be happy to discuss further. I have a bit of a doubt that you grasp what the charge is.

by king_phil 10y ago
I don't really think that calling to arms (in this case as self justice in combination with using Nazi symbols) is expression of free speech. It is totally okay that our understanding of free speech differs, but I just don't count

You forget that in Germany we have "Gewaltenteilung", meaning that legislation, judiciary and executive are separated. This is a concept that is fundamental to our country and culture. If the law is not okay it is not in the power

It is more than stupid shit, it is illegal stupid shit. Please read (edit: replaced, was "the") the German legal code. From your argument it would be better not to pursue crime just because you might "(to) get more physical

I am pro EU AND pro Brexit, the latter from rational analysis. It will be a net win for me. My company does export telco services to the UK. After the UK leaving the EU the VAT will not apply any longer, so basically I net 20% more after ta

Anyone with an idea how well Google Cloud DNS handles DDoS? I would image it just sucks it up, because they already saw any DDoS volume (would it be any or every, I'm not a native speaker?) before.

As a german I can say that "Stoff" has different meanings. It can be used like cloth, but in other contexts it is used like material. For example there is "Stoffkunde" which it the study (Kunde) of materials (Stoffe). &q
