   Back in HS, we did stupid shit like write joke DOS TSR virii that had easter eggs like calculators, ASCII tables and random text "screen savers" that didn't respect what you happened to be doing.

   We might try publicly brow-beating Mark Kosters for an answer, that would totally work. Or maybe: asking nicely. most probable email addr: markk at arin dot net https://www.arin.net/announcements/2013/20131214.h

   You're missing the bigger point: enumerating every possible defense is beyond the scope of a comment AND does not exclude any technique by omission. If you'd like to raise technologies in a civil manner, please. Just don't

   Thanks for also seeing the bigger picture. In the future, I will only submit complete production conf mgmt repos uuencoded in my comments. Readability is overrated.

    I've used Pair, Linode, AWS, Rackspace and Bytemark. Pair, Bytemark and Rackspace pick up the phone. Bytemark has the most chops by far, and is flexible to support custom stuff. If you just love *BSD, Pair of course.

    This smells fishy. Why would this matter since they supposedly know nothing about who stores what? Is their zero-knowledge service not ZK? Are they logging IPs?

    This is by design because EnterpriseDB (based on Postgres) is basically intended as a replacment for Oracle. Anything commercial that uses fancy Oracle features would want to look at this because it would be easier to support.

    Yet another example of why to both sign release artifacts AND verify them is important. Also, if you're running the public website for a security lib or core FOSS package, expect more attacks by kiddies trying to build rep... so very c

    The most likely scenario is that future monies, both government and non-government backed, will likely adopt crypto proof-of-work as the specie value. It becomes just another feature that brings more to the table than "full faith and

    Coinbase is ultimately a double-ended marketplace. But to add more complexity to the fire, one's own systems count as yet another source of truth. So what the sellers say, what buyers say and what we say have to reconciled. It'

    Hear, hear. Also applies to crypto-accelerated CPU instructions. With OSS and OSH, at least there's a chance of auditing what one has is what was released, and a chance to audit that there's no funny business going on.

    0. This is exactly why auditing (internal and external) and settlement processes exist elsewhere. But it's impossible to have a startup deploy every single control at the very beginning. There are costs (time & money) to get thin
