Assuming the ISPs equipment works correctly. AT&T fiber in the U.S. has apparently had issues for months with a few patches to stabilize things. My Tp-Link Omada AP has better coverage and speed. I setup my parents up with edgerouterx a

Maybe your building has an exclusive contract with the only ISP available. That was the case with our last apartment. There was AT&T fiber running in front and the building was wired with cat5e. I can almost guarantee there was an AT&am

My parents are hitting and exceeding their 1.2TiB data allotment streaming TV shows. I'm considering setting them up with T-Mobile home internet. Data caps alone are extremely anti consumer friendly. It's very difficult for non te

As others have mentioned, title fraud. My recent closing disclosure has buyer, seller, agent, and title company. It'd be pretty easy to call the buyer claiming to be the title company and request a wire for exactly the right amount to

Cashier's check was only accepted for amounts less than $10k at our closing by our title company. This seems common to require wire. The title company contracted with a 3rd party escrow service so the money was required into the title

My take was they sort of dug in said "Docker isn't made right for Linux, we're reinventing it" On Fedora w/ SELinux that led to quite a bit of compatibility issues for a while with lots of quirky things that didn&#x

I'm guessing there's no money in it unless you glue an ad machine to the side and use search to drive advertising.

Even then you can MITM if you have elevated access to the platform and can tinker with the certificate store. Games like Pokemon Go use a highly obfuscated algorithm to sign requests which makes it much harder to actually use the key if you

Consider the string needs reversible obfuscation or it won't be usable. The only secure way is encryption but you'd need to properly secure the key (probably using some hardware facility that's physically locked down)

The credentials are stored as a string so you can search the binary for a pattern matching what the credential looks like and it will be in there somewhere. In client server architecture, the client is always untrusted. An executable should

In my experience, It Depends For big flagship services you can usually get pretty good support (EC2, S3, SQS, Lambda) For smaller/more niche services where AWS stood up a managed version of some OSS it's more hit and miss (like ma

SQS/SNS/S3 are so simple, reliable, and cheap they're pretty much a no brainer. While you can probably run those workloads in Postgres, it isn't designed for those use cases and you'll eventually run into nasty limi

I can run a 64x512GiB server in my home office loaded with NVMe drives for $80/mon (probably cheaper depending on how many years you amortize the server purchase over)!

If we're only considering "runs on VMs" and "cost" then I can beat Hetzner by a huge margin running on the server in my home office. The point was, saying "it can run on a VM, who sells VMs the cheapest" i

Not only that, some things like monitoring you get for free on cloud providers and setting up your own HA stack is going to be significantly more expensive. There's almost no testing and validation needed for something like AWS RDS Pos

iirc Blob Storage is tied to a "storage account" that has throughput limits that can't easily be changed so it has a performance ceiling

All these "VMs are sooo much cheaper" articles are always pricing bare VMs. It'd be more useful if someone actually calculated Total Cost of Ownership for a completed solution. You likely also need to price in load balancers,

I'm not sure what you're saying. The cable length is largely fixed/determined by the building you're running cable in. I'd rather spend an extra $100 on cable than start ripping open walls/floors/ceilings

I think 10GTek. However there were only 2 of them in the uplink ports on a 24x1Gbps switch in a server cabinet with decent airflow. They might have been getting up to 60C but I don't think they were hitting as high as you were saying.

Do people want to use VMs? Imo they're much more annoying to manage than higher-level managed services. The last few places I've worked we spent our time trying to get rid of VMs and replace them with equivalent managed services.

2.5Gbps is becoming pretty common and fairly affordable, though My understanding is right around 10Gbps you start to hit limitations with the shielding/type of cable and power needed to transmit/send over Ethernet. When I was look

Curious how they protect private keys for transit encryption. I'd imagine all their edge locations need to be able to decrypt traffic and therefor need a way to fetch corresponding private keys for everything they're proxying. If

Yeah PayPal is pretty good here. There's a page that lists all your billing subscriptions and you can cancel them right there. It's a shame credit cards don't offer the same thing (Chase is able to list them all but provides
