My biggest complaint about Mosh is that how it handles the login sequence breaks common .bashrc/.bash_profile idioms like test -z "$BASHPROFILEREAD" || return (to avoid double-sourcing) and there's no good way to fix the

I only keep three machines with them, but two are in NYC2. For the July 24th outage they issued a combined 4¢ SLA credit for claimed two hours downtime. For this much worse problem? Nada. I suspect that DO is prioritizing refunds for mo

I'm amused that the author chose a centuries old color name that's been in relatively frequent written use all that time for the title. The article centers on the history behind huge catalogs number of obscure color names, but he

Is the current, non-EncFS compatible version open source for the crypto components or audited by anyone reputable? If not we don't necessarily have any reason to believe it's safer.

As someone who's used PostgreSQL for 15 years and had to evangelize it almost everywhere I've gone that's a bit surreal to hear. Good, very good, but a little surreal. I've found that if you've got Ruby & Perl

For any reasonable RDBMS deployment resources PostgreSQL has been faster than MySQL for me. Write-heavy loads are a huge win for it, but even on large reads (formerly its weakness) PostgreSQL has the advantage unless you've got no wri

DDOS as a Service has been around for years, the difference is that Google is trying to muscle in and undercut the competition with a free service. Unlike the extant players their customer service is nonexistent, so I'm sure the big D

I should have phrased that more clearly. The cyberpunk thing is that we've got more aggressively open carrying and more dramaticly stupid shooting incidents like the string in Florida, very much the way a lot of cyberpunk has the trop

Thanks for the map! I should clarify that I was unaware of deaths specifically attributable to a deliberate swatting incident, the death rate in SWAT raids & no-knock raids is ridiculous. It may be much lower than the death rate from

Given the current state of policing in the US swatting someone has a non-zero chance of getting someone severally beaten, tazered, tear gassed, or just shot. I don't know of any deaths, but there have been some really close calls repo
