How does it check for new versions? Could it be MITM'd? :-) I've personally no idea, but I hope you asked yourself those questions.

Well, but why those don't go out and buy a flat they can rent in AirBnB instead of sub-renting someone else's? Most rental contracts explicitly forbid sub-renting and I'm pretty sure these cool people don't pay taxes o

From an operational point of view I've found much better to work with SFTP than FTP over SSL, due to SFTP just needing TCP/22 to be opened on any firewalls and FTP over SSL doing the silly data/control port thing.

I don't know about the not public betas, but as soon as there was a public Windows 10 TP and you could swap IE's engine to Edge I'm pretty sure they had "Edge" at the end of the user-agent, but they had the rest of

That's what you get when many people code with only one company in mind. It happened in the past and it is happening again, whether we like it or not. Even Microsoft was kinda masquerading early versions of Edge as Chrome.

Dude, if there's one thing in abundance in a DC is non-open-source software. Can't imagine many DCs without one of these: Cisco, Juniper, Checkpoint, VMWare, Microsoft, Dell/HP on ILO/DRAC, F5 or Brocade; you effing name

1. Flawed logic: They don't do it to annoy everyone. They do it as a business. Yes, it is annoying! but your logic is flawed. 2. They've invested money and are sitting on that. Don't you have money in the bank? That money get

Aside from the technical side, a good sysadmin knows that the business has priority over how cool this or that technologies are. So every time you fix something, you're not fixing a computer, you are fixing a piece or tool of a busines

Why #4? I know sysadmins that love to disable ICMP, hence why I consider it a terrible way to test or benchmark anything, but why do you think it should be disabled? When I scan a network or a host my muscle memory types -P0 just after nmap

I don't think there's a good answer to that. It depends on how much compute and bandwidth does every request need :) As you're using Azure you can easily setup rules to autoscale, so you can just leave it to do the magic for

Yes. Every regulation out there is (should be?) created to protect the weak from the powerful.

The problem is that places like HN perverted the term "Hacker" by making it a synonym of developer/coder, which in previous meanings covered what you call "DIY'ers". Everybody around here calls himself a hacker

Does English really have official rules? I thought not, and that was why some dictionaries started adding words like "irregardless" (sic). Maybe this is just a skewed point of view of a Spanish native speaker, as we have an offici

I'm afraid I'm also of the feeling that this is too complex, especially moving forward with the business. It was probably fun to work on it and solved your issue, but somehow it looks like a patch for an architecture issue. Does

That's an interesting question, however it is not what I was replying to. I'm not sure your question should be pointed at me :) In any case here's my quick answer: I hope they come off as Lego bricks.

Well, depends on how you look at it. All (most of?) those metals are somewhere, aren't they? Actually there are many of those metals on the surface, there's not even need to dig for them.

And it could be a good investment in exchange of proxying all your customer's traffic. That's probably the wet dream of some C level executives.

Hehe yeah, I know what's TTL and how it works :) hence why I was pointing out (as politely as I could) that the previous comment was wrong. But I tend to agree with your conclusion. Damn statisticians! :)

No, they are not. The browser should treat any HTTP connection as a MITM attack at all times, too. Actually, it should also treat it as multiple MITM because everyone in your network or in the path can see your traffic. We could argue if it

That's too simplistic, and as expected wrong. Some of those regions are known for being proud of their language and culture, so in case of similar specs and cost many people will chose a vendor that covers their native (or L2 but local

True, and how stupid is that? We consider a self signed certificate to be worse than no encryption.

by mobiplayer 12y ago
Yeah, because that's what millions of users out there are asking for.

by mobiplayer 12y ago
You probably mean something else (RTT?) but definitely not TTL, which is a completely different thing :)

I'm sorry but it is barely believable that #1 and #2 would make a difference in your life at all. Seriously, you could save much more cognitive ability by not leaving your home in the first place. First thing is that you won't ev

There's a reason why alarms do not use your main phone / DSL / data line. False positives could destroy the purpose of your system.

12 times more is not a big difference? Blimey!

And how does that stop or even deter break-ins?

Not to harm your peace of mind, but trust me when I say you don't want a frustrated (nothing valuable to steal) armed criminal at home. Chances are he is going to be either desperate or with no regards towards human life (or both) and

My 2c... I do work inside a very knowledgeable team, so I can relate to some feelings (although the guys here are quite cool). 1. You were hired. That probably means your colleagues approved having you with them. Part of what you feel is th
