It's getting a little painful so I'll keep it short; the point of moving the port is to have a time-window to respond when a ssh pre-auth exploit is discovered (since automated bots don't hit your daemon when it's on a high-port). The rest

The part about not moving SSH is wrong. It's almost always a good idea to move it to a high-port; none of your arguments hold water (QoS is irrelevant to most, bots do not scan !=22, and if an attacker can launch daemons on your server then

If you feel a need to invoke Godwin you should at least try to be intellectually honest. The citizens in the tumbling EU-nations are paying what they perceive as unfair reparations already (Justification: "You lived beyond your means" - m

Do you really want to steal the money from people who saved money all life You seem to be arguing they should not have taken any money at all, which I of course agree with. My point was that if they take money (which they did) then they

Again, what's the alternative? Take it from the >100k bank accounts. Only from the >100k bank accounts.

Wait a second. So I lend you a thousand dollars, for a nice interest rate. Then you go bankrupt or just disappear. And in this dire situation I should not be allowed to collect $1 from a thousand random citizens to compensate my loss? Wha

So, after this flaming endorsement I just had to install mailbox.app. I gave it a whirl and... well, it's nice. But can you give an example of the parts that you deem "unclone-able"? That seems a pretty wild claim. It's not made of pixie d

That guarantee is clearly a dead letter in the case of Cyprus anyway, because there's no way that their government can make good on that promise in the face of multiple large bank collapses. That's where the EU steps in, or rather: was su

You should slap this into a nicely formatted HTML page and put it up on "honestmaxis.com" (or something less susceptible to a lawsuit). In the best case someone at Maxis reads it and gets a clue (sadly unlikely). In the worst case it puts

Mailbox isn't just a half-decent email UI, it is the best email UI we've seen in ages I acknowledge that. And I know they didn't just buy the app, but also the brand, the userbase, the marketing headstart, the team, the momentum. But stil

"Well-over" $50 million could be $60 million You say that as if $60 million would be any less absurd? Is it some sort of tax evasion scheme? Are you intentionally throwing out absurdities? No. Companies tend to do really weird[1] things

What's with the absurd valuation? Are they gonna bump the price to $10 and hope to sell 10 million copies? Do they hope adding a mail client to Dropbox will bring them.. um.. how many million new customers? Is it some sort of tax evasion sc

As others have already suggested: I think it would be even better if the explanation box was fixed (e.g. top left corner of the screen) and had a FAT red arrow pointing to the area of the screen that it explains. This would (imho) make it m

I keep wondering: Does anyone actually use these social buttons? I tried a few times but the experience has always been so terrible and inconsistent that I've long reverted to simply sharing the good old copy/paste way.

Since this PR fluff-piece doesn't even try to answer its own question I'll ask a more interesting one: How much did grinder pay for that advert in the NY times blog? It's not like these fuc^H^H^Hhookup sites are a new thing. AdultFriendFind

10% of 100 users is also different to 10% of 100k users. Just saying... Absolute figures without context hardly ever tell an interesting story.

I'm pretty sure my car manufacturer is already liable today when my airbag doesn't fire or if the brakes stop working on the freeway. What's the difference?

by moe 14y ago
I can't imagine the car manufacturers will be able to handle the costs of the liability by themselves Why not? Self-driving cars should cause much fewer crashes than human drivers, no?

Rsync is brilliant and useful but gets very slow when you apply it outside of its sweet-spot. Remember: Rsync trades CPU and disk i/o ( lots of disk i/o) for network bandwidth. In the pathological case "thousands of tiny files over a fast

I'm talking about giving access to specific limited commands. By definition the set is either so limited as to be essentially useless, or it opens (usually multiple) straightforward paths to a root-shell. Pretty much all sudoers-files I h

The answer is really easy: You should do both. Disable password auth for root, and change the SSH port.

If someone logs in directly as root, how do you track root access? By their SSH-key and IP address (both of which are logged to a remote syslog-server). Given that you should be discouraging root use and using sudo or scripts to automate

If only someone could come up with an abstraction over all this... We could perhaps call it threads, or co-routines, or such. It could make things so much easier!

But politicians die, too. In a few years the political caste will consist of people from the facebook generation and beyond. And some of them will understand IT.
