I'd like to disagree with the statement that this can "only take a few minutes" by pointing out, done correctly, essentially everything takes 15+ minutes to accomplish. As far as SSL/TLS you've got to generate a CSR

Not all DDoS is volumetric, and even in volumetric attacks it can be complex to differentiate legitimate traffic from the noise being generated by the botnet. Effective mitigation is about far more than "How big is your pipe?" so

In the case of violating the gag provisions of an NSL, that's a 'Fast Track' to an 8x10 cell in an institution not necessarily of your choosing. Do feel free to write your representatives and complain, but don't try and

With the acquisition of Ansible, we haven't seen Red Hat releasing the products (Ansible Tower). Is that just a case of they haven't got around to it, or is this a new strategy?

I hear there's movement away from IRC and onto Slack, which is apparently contentious internally. Interesting to hear nonetheless given it isn't FLOSS.

Er, citation required? IME they do what's required by U.S. law and have previously been fairly principled about not complying with extrajudicial requests.

If you physically move to Germany, perhaps, but it appears you would need to discontinue all operations in this country. Nobody employed here, no bank accounts, etc. Another person posted a somewhat insightful excerpt from the draft which c

This is a slightly different situation since it's within the realm of possibility for companies to implement security measures which make it difficult (or impossible) for interception of data by LEO. That isn't really true in the

They have an investigatory arm of their own and have been known to go after corporate data, particularly email, as part of looking into what they believe may be tax fraud. One could reasonably question why this isn't a department or di

Whilst you can't compel foreign software developers not to talk about what they've been asked to do, there are probably a couple of ways this remains possible: (a) Disclosure would likely result in liability for the executive offi

They've already demonstrated with RIPA that they are perfectly willing to convict and sentence in these sorts of situations. Failure to disclose encryption passphrases can (and does) result in jail times of up to 2 years, or in cases w

But this would need setting up to interact with Jenkins? Assuming yes, at that point, why not just hop on over to the Slack App Directory and pick up something there? e.g. https://slack.com/apps/A0F7VRFKN-jenkins-ci

All I can say is I sympathise and empathise with their operations team. Outages happen to everyone, including I'm sure Discord, and what matters most to me is transparency during and after the incident and that both individual and corp

Will you be supporting both indefinitely or is there a plan to transition to a single well-supported solution for large files over the coming N releases?

Buy as much as you can afford. If you expect to be using this laptop in 4-5 years time, the OSX and applications of that era will probably only perform well on >8GB RAM.

Security and privacy aren't black and white topics, they're shades of grey, with the exact shade depending on your specific personal or business requirements and appetite to risk. It could be posited that anyone who is really conc
