They're great but I wish Hetzner had a US (or CA) east coast presence, the latency of going across the ocean is really troublesome. They have some presence for their cloud offering, so they at least have some experience with the idea.

This is a pretty interesting solution. I could see how this could useful for certain kinds of problems (as part of a ddos attack mitigation for example).

The bulk of the comments in here are focused on comparing Larry Ellison to a lawn mower, so I'll try a new tack and say that I'm genuinely confused at what the value prop of Oracle is. Given the history of their business model bei

I was in Owens River Gorge last week, it's a very interesting place. It has some of the tallest single pitch rock climbing in the world, sometimes requiring 80M ropes: https://www.mountainproject.com/area/105843226

People went ballistic on me a few months ago for bringing this up, but this is exactly the kind of outage that makes me really, really worried about extremely short lived certificates. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46

It's the same problem. Search for "fauux" (one of our more popular web sites) and you'll see other sites talking about one of the more popular sites but you won't see a link to the site itself.

I would love to see some evidence for the huge increase in protein on this new pyramid. I'm not challenging it, I'm genuinely curious if there's substantial evidence that a lot of it is actually good for most people.

I don't like to admit this, but at this point honestly I think ipv6 is largely a failure, and I say this as someone that wrote a blog post for APNIC on how to turn on ipv6. I'll get endless pushback for this, but the reality is th

If your own child had a choice between using tiktok and using heroin, and they had to choose one, which choice would you prefer them to make?

Tiktok is not heroin. Tiktok does not make you vomit if you quit using it. Tiktok does not give you a 5 year life expectancy. You can't overdose on it and die. Tiktok does not make you rob a grandma to get your next fix of it. I hate s

Why does Apple need a different AI strategy? They make good laptops and people like them (I say this as someone that runs Linux on a framework laptop). Anyone using AI is using their MacBook laptops to use AI already. They're perfectly

I'm sure this is for good reasons, but as someone that maintains a lot of ssl certificates, I'm not in love with this change. Sometimes things break with cert renewal, and it sometimes takes a chunk of time to detect and then sit
