Ubuntu ships an outdated version that misses a lot of bugfixes. They don't seem to be interested in either backporting fixes or shipping the current stable version. Every other day some Ubuntu user hits the ZFS GitHub issues with a pro

You can automate it using their API and some Python. It's like a puzzle game and I'm personally thankful for the free tier, it's pretty cool if you max it out you have multiple IPv4 addresses, IPv6 prefixes and so on - the ma

Strangely enough my experiences are mostly from smaller companies that are not public traded in Germany - so very different from a typical US public company, my bosses might had sociopathic traits but I doubt that it's true for all of

My personal theory is that this is the result of an incompetent management class where no self corrections are happening. In my work experience I've realized everybody fears honesty in their organization be it big or small. Customers c

> 1080p30 at ~10 Mbps is okay FWIW Most Streaming TV Services like Zattoo do 1080p50 using H264 using that Bitrate and while not perfect it's fine - using AV1 one could probably go way below that.

Watching this unfolding over the last weeks from Europe feels like a bad fever dream. The thing that scares me personally the most is not that the USA under Trump is telling Europe to care for their own security. That's expected and a

IPv6 is more like /64 is an IP. Most ISP assign a /56 or /60 to the customer, you can just disregard all the other bits and basically have something like an IPv4 equivalent.

Funny how this whole reply of me was just a misunderstanding after reading https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42497747 and even more funnier I'm doing this and most of my friends but nobody calls it Stammtisch here.

Thanks, that other meaning was totally lost on me. I only ever knew it from bars / Kneipen / and so on.

As a German: you are exactly right. Sitting down at the Stammtisch is asking for trouble. It's reserved for the die hard locals - it's coming from Stammkundschaft which roughly translates to regulars. Still it's perfectly fin

Google has caching proxies in every country for almost every ISP. My rural ISP in Germany with only 65k users has it. I'm sure adding this to the contract is not impossible. On the other hand I have no idea how big the amount of data i

There is no dispute. Telekom is not peering on public exchanges and wants ransom as in expensive private ip-transit contracts from everyone. Their customers are used as a bargain for this. Recently Meta stopped playing that game and Cloudfl
