The Commons Clause is added as a restriction to existing open source licensed projects, to those that aren't clued in that the Commons Clause has been applied, they can easily be misled by this poorly named restriction.

Eh, its a company that is rapidly shrinking in most areas. Customers are leaving, and in areas they deploy fiber there is no maintenance tto be done

Yep, purposefully shit peering on IPv4 causes that.

With a delay of their choosing, and a conversion factor for those of us that aren't locals. Cash has frictionless instant settlement, which is very hard to compete with as a centralized payment processor.

Its not just the government that has this data, but every intermediary in the non-cash payment chain. Mastercard for example sells its payment data to Google, who uses it to correlate online ad viewing with in store purchases. There is no w

This judgement by the FSF is unsurprising, Commond Clause is like the Patriot Act, a purposeful misnomer by its authors to attempt to gain unearned goodwill & respect.

Have you compared IPv4 versus IPv6 performance? Centurylink seems to have much better peering via IPv6 (still a bit slow to certain destinations though), in part because they only peer with Hurricane Electric and other non-Tier 1's for

Centurylink has mediocre peering via IPv4, but decent peering via IPv6 (which seems to be caused by peering with Hurricane Electric on IPv6 only).

USPS has a mandate to deliver mail to the masses as a universal sevice, and direct mail is one way to try to subsidize that mandate. When letter volume was higher, the letter delivery business could be viable on its own. USPS is in a legisl

The goal of our current laws are to starve USPS of funds, which results in these awful working conditions. We need to repeal the restrictions on USPS offering a broader range of services, and not force them by law to massively overfund thei

OVH does have its quirks (eg: pushing systemd-networkd and not using route advertisments) but their network is significantly better if you need to avoid the IPv4 CGNAT that cellphones sit behind, as IPv6 is the only means of doing so (long

Owning your core infrastructure might not be hip and cool, but it sure can make or break a company. Nevermind that your at rhe mercy of your vendor when it comes to billing, features, maintenance windows and much more.

Crew and Sea Scouts are thin on the ground, and not available to most kids unlike cub scouts or boy scouts. IMO the BSA has scared off competent leadership from the local troops, digging the graves of the plethora of troops that have folded

There are better outcomes from doing these kinds of bug brandings, it creates awareness of sometimes serious vulnerabilities and gives us something more friendly to reference a bug by than its CVE #. Who remembers the CVE # for Blueborne or

Most companies and organizations react terribly to being made aware of security issues, sometimes landing the messenger in prison. Prevailing practices are to sweep vulnerabilities under the rug, or quietly acknowledge them and hope no one

Not at the cost of leaving end users vulnerable and in the dark, vendors can deal with the consequences of their choices. Hard lessons are needed, having attempted to disclose serious vulnerabilities in T-Mobile USA's APIs by reaching

OVH has POPs all over despite being a value server provider. You get quite a bit for how little you pay, plus they have working IPv6 (really important for mobile networks) unlike the major cloud vendors.

The author has a number of great points, with an overarching theme that how we handle security bugs is ridiculous.

Twitter is dying, and upper management is creating the conditions for these toxic twitter users to ruin the site. Twitter has royally wrecked the API and done numerous other things that hurt the platform, but the content generated by a subs

Ah, so Uber is using the same model as Amazon uses to deal with sellers? Support is a brick wall that can only provide scripted responses, and escalations go to an offline team you never get to talk to, plus they rarely respond.

Under the current messed up ruleset, many people qualify for loans that they likely shouldn't, feeding a housing price bubble that is taking lifes necessities and pricing them out of the reach of most people.

In the context of those revenue streams being made possible by private companies that are not required to serve anyone, yes, they have full latitude to ban anyone for any reason. Ceding your revenue streams to the whims of volatile private

It takes a bit of effort, sure, but Gab's creators did not make a backup plan, let alone take basic steps to protect against likely threats to their continued operation.

Okay, but how does running one of the most commonly exploited languages as root pass any HIPAA audit? That was the question asked in my prior comment. We ended up ripping out PFSense at a few medical practices due in part to this issue.

How is a disappearing network interface handled? What about package deperecation? On both issues, PFSense left me with a non-working router, which is unacceptable when every other router software and hardware appliance out there will bring

pfSense is great for a prosumer router. What gets me about it is cleaning up the mess it creates in business use cases, as pfSense is designed with a mindset that the pro will always be there, ready to attach a screen at a moments notice wh
