I guess traffic gets a lot cheaper beyond a certain volume. I suspect it's dollars/TB to cents/TB? So they can cut prices for their offerings and have more revenue and growth due to paying less for the traffic. Having these v

I feel like I'm on the only one that is out of the loop on this DAO hack: Could someone provide some context? Who is the author? Is he the attacker? What does the Keccack hash prove? Does Ethereum even use Keccak? Or is this just some

Not sure what you mean but ufw by default blocks everything on your interface so other machines in the local subnet shouldn't have access. If you want to have more security and no (or just a single) outgoing service configure OpenVPN w

In theory (the practical side is tricky to get right): - More resilience against data corruption for one due to copy on write and likely checksumming - so in theory power failure should not harm the filesystem and you can roll back to a las

At least with bigger SATA disks I see regularly checksum errors on btrfs/ZFS and a rising bad sector count. The disk usually replaces the sectors on the next write but when reading it returns either zeros or wrong data. It's nice

lz4 really helps with anything that is compressible - if you store text or compressible data it can improve throughput up to 2-3x if not even more if it's not compressible it stops compressing early. On a modern CPU core compression&#x

something like zfs copies=n? I used this on a drive with tons of bad sectors and it worked flawless - ZFS even spreads the writes throughout the disk. However AFAIK this is a property of using merkle hash trees (just add multiple leaves) an

If you have a job to do I'd rather use FreeBSD but unfortunately lot's of support for popular software is missing. I thought about using it for a big Hadoop cluster due to ZFS and jails but at that time there was no recent Hadoop

Sorry, this is wrong in many aspects. FreeBSD/*BSD traditionally maintains userland and kernel together. The userland is also BSD licenced so using GNU is not possible so there is need to maintain these tools. But mostly it's take

Good question. I think the only thing aria2 does is using multiple connections - that should work on SFTP.

This should work pretty well for tc/iptables shaping where you count the bytes in the connection and move to a lower class. But I guess most of the time something like aria2[1] works better for real downloads - if you shape only for a

How does that not add security? If you use a secret token or some authenticated website for opening the port how can an attacker easily circumvent this?
