The thing about docker is that the containers are thin provisioned, you can run as many containers based on 8GB images if you have the spare 8GB for the base image. Still, bloat is to be avoided so Alpine as a base image is a great idea.

The headline is misleading, it's not the routers (EdgeOS) but the airMAX wireless sytems (airOS) affected.

People are learning and using it just fine. Yes, it looks a bit different but that's about it. Everything works just the same except building properly routed networks is a lot easier with IPv6.
65.
by moreentropy 11y ago
An IPv6 address has 16 bytes and that's how to store them, period. For parsing / generating a string representation there's RFC5952 and libraries in every language that implement it.

Right. But I doubt that anyone shifting that much traffic just buys 100G internet service to a certain location. If you push out that much you might make use of CDNs, if you consume that much Netflix/Google I guess you meet their crit

If you have fiber and the right transceivers, you can run 100Gbit/s over it. If you need that sort of bandwidth, you'll probably do your own peering because just paying for traffic will be obscenely expensive. Chaos Computer Club&

Want! I have actually used such a converted phone at 31c3. Someone from the Warpzone hackerspace in Münster, DE has built one. He even managed the trickery to drive the original ringer with a simple battery.

IPv6 is (getting more) relevant in parts of the world, because (duh) we're running out of IPv4 addresses. All the backbones and most data centers are already fully IPv6 capable, don't know about cloud providers though. If I rent

For creating decentralized mesh networks, it might help to look at what the freifunk project has done. Freifunk is a community project that builds open mesh networks (mostly in Germany) using cheap (€15-20 range) off the shelf routers. The

OK, I guessed I don't have any knowledge to propose a solution here. :) I still doubt that HFT serves the real economy in any noticable positive way. Does the HFT firm's spending on technology really outweight their effect on the

I don't see how HFT does any good for anyone. It adds no real value, and serves no purpose except to shift money from someone else's pockets, not by clever investment and market knowledge but pure technical advantage. It's a

Python doesn't have checked exceptions.
85.
by moreentropy 12y ago
For me the most important thing exceptions mean is that they might pop up at any time, with unpredictable types. So as long as I don't have a catch all exception handler wrapped around all code, it might crash at some point.
86.
by moreentropy 12y ago
OTOH, if you follow Go's idioms and handle every error where it happens, your code will look like having a lot of boilerplate at first, but you end up with better error handling. It's the same as putting a try-except catchall aro

This is all stuff that needs to be taken care of, on every system. So I'm happy that systemd handles the basics in a sensible way. Why do I as a sysadmin need the choice here? Everything I need is covered by systemd, and in a less pai
