   I don't have the sociology or statistical analysis chops to thoroughly evaluate that statement, so I ask from a place of sincere curiosity - is the statement, or the numbers/sources, incorrect? If so, how?

   Just be aware that if you're using any flavor of Comcast in the US (Business or Consumer-class), "Bridging" your cable modem will make it cease to work and require a factory reset. Anecdata from me, from sites in Boston, Sea

   Perhaps folks will wake up to the evils of that pernicious 'drm' stuff the likes of the EFF, Doctorow, and even Stallman have been harping on about for decades now. It's not like people haven't been warned, cautioned, l

   Oh sweet summer child, on your return to this great land, people mocking the PC Police and the SJW will be the least of your worries. You will have to navigate precious snowflakes, twitter'd trigger warnings, wild Trigglypuffs, and so

    Mainly because I'm lazy, and a little bit because I'm hoping LE will figure out how to offer wildcard certs and/or altNames securely.

    Yeaahhh, I was a big fan of StartCom until this move. I'll be migrating to LetsEncrypt as soon as my current certs expire.

    Good. The gov't has no more a right to track my guns as they do my book purchases. "Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms" should be a convenience store, not a gov't agency.

    Horsepuckey. Hosting your own data services is not dangerous, if you do your homework. Email is not that complex (compared to something like a federated Kerberos environment), and there are several good, concise, HOWTOs, books, etc on

    Only barely. I supposedly get a /56 up here in Seattle, but prefix delegation will give me a /60 half the time and a "/59" half the time. The latter completely breaks every router I've thrown at it (pfsense,

    My understanding was that Netflix was 100% AWS, and AWS' implementation of IPv6 was very limited and pretty much to the ELB only.

    Eat right, exercise, achieve healthiness, die anyway. We're all food for worms, boys, and any action we take now will certainly be found (in the fullness of time) to be deleterious. It's a matter of balancing what set of regrets

    Message Transfer Agent. Compare with MUA, MDA, etc. Lots of WTF TLAs when trying to build SMTP over TCP/IP, etc. :-)

    Half a billion, then. Mang, I'm trying to buy a house right now, $20k is a far-off and scary number to me where I'm at.

    I'll save you some pain and heartache - move to one of the BSDs instead. Linux is quickly losing the flexibility and openness that made it great (cf. systemd, etc)
