I was managing a few labs full of machines used for training on NT4 which meant I was frequently re-imaging and could use effective remote control capability. Back Orifice was, at the time, the absolute best remote admin solution available

That’s datacenter compute for you, and they’ll sell a bunch of them. One simple reason (of many) - a lot of enterprise licenses are tied to CPU count and those licenses can be extremely expensive. You can save money on the licenses by buy

Near as I know, all DCs can boot suitably-prepared burned discs without modding. The only hardware mod I’m aware of would be to defeat region lock on original discs.

Nothing stopping you! I have git and printables etc accounts full of stuff I've designed and shared, but some folks might just want the finished thing so awhile back I hung out my hat and started a small shop selling the widgets I des

Biometrics aren’t a great key because they cannot generally be revoked. This isn’t a privacy concern, it’s a security problem. You leave your fingerprints nearly everywhere you go, and they only need to be compromised once and then can ne

Your challenge will be throughput, without hardware acceleration every packet needs to be handled by the CPU and you're going to pretty quickly bump up against throughput limits. Travel routers will generally offer hardware accelerati

If you read the description, they started with 35,000x, then tripled the number of cores to get 68,000x. If your triple the cores and wind up with less than twice the performance, your scaling isn't very good.

As someone with a full homelab with all the fixins, I don't self-host external-facing services without a VPN (meaning, no ports open into my network and thus no public web sites etc). This isn't because I don't know how, or

Folks in the thread noted that the recovery code sent was the same each time, which leads me to think it might have been a phishing attack. Send email that looks like FB recovery, but have the links go to some domain you own and snarf up c

It’s counter argument by example. Very Serious Scientists argued that heavier than air flight is impossible while birds were flying outside their window. Likewise, I am 100% confident that it is possible in theory to drive a car without th

One interesting thing I learned while in Las Vegas during a major rain storm, a lot of the buildings leak like a sieve. Word was that heavy rain happens so rarely that leaks are rare to present themselves and thus hard to discover and hard

So instead they buy that data from the fly-by-night operators and carry on as usual. That's the key problem here, this data only needs to be collected by one shady operator, "the market" will handle the rest.

Finally a sensible take. The problem that Worldcoin is looking to solve is real. I think the solution they've arrived at is terrible but that's not because I don't believe in the problem. LLMs are going to shift the orbit of

And the other half of HN loses their mind when AI is brought up, completely missing the point made quite clearly in the OP that _no_AI_was_involved_in_any _of_this_. The AI hysteria on this site is ridiculous.
